The mightiast deeds recorded of men in this world were done incon-
spicuously in out of the way places. Don't expect to be called on lo
lead a procession.—Acts 22:10: What shall I do. Lord?
Defining States’ Rights
rpWO recent occurrences give hope that the vague and
* often disputed line between state and federal rights will
bo more clearly defined. The first was President Truman’s
appointment of a committee to investigate civil rights,
particularly as to how far the federal government may go
in protecting a citizen’s civil rights within a state. The
second was the general tenor of the eighth annual Assembly i
of States in Chicago.
Reporters who covered the meeting noted a minimum |
of howling about federal interference, and an evident desire
to work out definite limits of duties and coordination of
activities. Several of the speeches before the assembly
made detailed suggestions in line with this prevailing
sentiment.
New Jersey’s new Governor Driscoll suggested a uni-
form [>lan of “working federalism” which would map out
the most effective capacities of state and federal govern-
ments. He proposed uniform state action on matters of com-
mon interest as a defense against an otherwise necessary
federal intervention.
* * *
MUTUAL planning and cooperation between the states
and Washington would iron out many difficulties, in
the opinion of Luther Gulick, director of the Institute for
Public Administration. His plan, he said, is based on “the
notion that the way to solve human problems is by person-
al negotiation, not by inconsiderate, independent precipi-
tate action."
These plans, worth sedious consideration on their
merits, are also welcome indications of a trend in the right
direction. They reveal both a wish and a way to cure some
of the ills that have plagued federal-state relations for too
long.
Certainly a paternalistic Washington han’t been blame-
less. But some of the states which have complained bitterly
about paternalism have shown a steadily lessening ability
to solve their own problems and an increasing reliance upon
Washington for both money and initiative.

The states, while admitting the trend, might also accept
the fact that common action by state governments is desir-
able in a country where population becomes increasingly
mobile.
Many uniform laws seem necessary as well as desirable.
Among others that come readily to mind are those covering
marriage and divorce and, after last year’s tragedies, safety
rules for hotel construction.
There are many more, and blanket action on them
seems certain sooner or later. By acting on them jointly the
states might reduce the big Washington payroll, slow down
the drift toward centralization, and increase the efficiency
ot administration. In some cases they niigjit even enrich
their treasuries.

WASHINGTON, D. C—(NEA)—Sen. Robert A. Taft's Committee
” on Labor nnd Public Welfare will get going first on labor rclorm
legislation hearings. It will therefore grab the early headlines. But
don’t overlook the part that is going to be played by the House Com-
mittee on Education ana Labor in writing this now
Republican program for regulating unions.
Chairman of this House Labor Committee is
Republican Fred A. Hartley, Jr., of Kearny, N. J.
In the last Congress, Hartley got credit for organ-
izing a "coalition” of Republicans and Democrats
to hamstring OPA. Democrats who joined with
him became known as "Hartley Democrats." It
was a political poison label for the Democrats,
though Hartley says he really didn’t have a coali-
tion and he wasn’t for killing off OPA altogether.
He just wanted to curb some of its powers.
Nevertheless, Hartley got the reputation of being
close to the National Retail Dry Goods Association,
whidf was OPA's principal pain in the neck. Hartley also got the
reputation of being anti-labor. Labor tried hard to beat him in
November. Now here he is, chairman of the new Labor Committee.

ll JARTLEY has been delayed in getting his new 25-member com-
mittee together. A couple of the ranking Democrats have been
nut of town. Hut at n cocktail party in his office the 15 Republicans
and 10 Democrats met and started laying out their program.
All through the New Deal, the House Labor Committee was a
bottleneck—with a cork in it. Nothing could pass through unless it
met the approval of the big union leaders. Whenever a bill to curb
labor’s powers came up in the House, Democratic leadership had to
steer it through the Rules, Judiciary or other committees, to get it out
on the floor. All that is now changed.
What Hartley has in the new committee is the making of another
"coalition.” Ten of the 25 members are freshmen congressmen of
unknown convictions. But among the veterans are such tough law-
makers as Republicans Gerald Landis of Indiana, Clare Hodman of
Michigan, Max Schwahe of Missouri, and Ralph Gwinn and Ellsworth
Buck of New York, together with Democratic veterans John Lcsinski
of Michigan. Graham Barden of North Carolina, Augustine Kellv of
Pennsylvania and John ST Wood of Georgia*-- ..... ....
With Speaker Joe Martin and Majority Leader Charlie Hnlleek,
Hartley hits conferred with Senators Taft. Ball and Smith of the
Senate Labor Commitlee. They have a loose agreement to work
together and avoid duplication of effort.
Nevertheless. Hartley feels that the Senate Committee isn’t as
"all out” for labor regulation as his own group will be. In the last
Congress, the House passed the Case and other "anti-labor” bills,
only to have them softened in the Senate.

AJOU CAMERON opened the
door and stepped out upon
the porch. Right in the middle of
the preacher’s unconscionably
long-winded prayer, he had re-
membered that due to all the bus-
lie in the early evening he had
neglected to bring In the Stars and
Bars, displayed today In honor of
President Davis, the anniversary
of whose death It was. Disrespect
to the flag and the prevailing ex-
citement was no excuse. He looped
the lovely silk over his arm and |
stroked it.
He stood on the porch, grateful
for this momentary respite from I
his obligations as host. Inside, the
guests had been served supper and
were now sitting abou chatting.

that. He could scarcely believe,
even yet, that Mr. Milgrim and

melt away into thin air.
With Laura's arrival he had set j
forth on the errand o{ restitution,

’J'HE Senate Labor Committee this year includes liberal Republican^
Aiken and Morse. It has New Deal Democrats Murray and Pepper.'
Taft himself has indicated labor curbs should not Ire too severe!
That being the situation, if lough labor legislation is written it may
have to come out of the House.
Hartley now feels that instead of an effort to get a “quickie” bill
through the House, there should be an omnibus bill to wrap the whole
labor regulation business up in one package. He has had his own
staff analyzing the 30 or more labor bills that have been introduced
in the House. When the committee meets for its first formal session
some time next, week, the chairman hopes to have a comparative
tabulation all laid out on a work sheet that will permit fast action.
Hearings will be held. yes. Anyone who wants to be heard and
has something to say will be given a chance to say it. Blit, says
Hartley, there must be action before March 31. That’s the date the
Present government contract with the coal miners expires. There must
he a new government labor policy established before that deadline
"The farther we get front the November elections and the closer
wc get. to the 1948 elections,” says Hartley, "the harder it is going to
he lo write that new labor policy.”, —
