HOW MUCH LQH6ER IS
BUTLER GOING ID SIT
IB THE U. S. SENATE?
How much longer will John
Butler (R., Md.) be allowed to
remain in the Senate?
Butler's campaign manager, Jon
Jonkel, pleaded guilty in Balti
more Criminal Court June 4 to
six violations of the Maryland
elections laws. He was fined
$5,000.
Jonkel disregarded the lawj
while working last year to elect
Butler. Butler defeated Sen. Mil
lard, Tydings (D.). Jonkel bragged
to a Senate Elections Subcommit
tee in March he practically put
Butler into office single-handedly.
Butler is a stooge for Sen. Jo
seph McCarthy (R., Wis.) and
Col. Robert Robert McCormick,
who runs the Chicago Tribune,
New York Daily News, and
Washington Times Herald.
Although law violations were a!
; part of Butler’s campaign, the j
I other 95 Senators refuse to kick
him out of “the world’s most ex
clusive club.” Only Senators
themselves can decide who is fit
to sit in the Senate.
Trade unionists supported
neither Butler nor Tydings. Both
are anti-labor. , But no trade un
; ionist wants to see people like
'Jonkel, McCarthy and McCormick
do to anyone what they did to
iTydings in order to elect a stooge.
Jonkel failed to report $27,100
in campaign contributions until
bearings on the Maryland Senate
election ' began last February.
Such reports are required udder
Maryland law within 30 days aft
er an election.
The Federal election laws are
about the same as those in Mary
land. That means Jonkel prob
ably violated Federal laws. It is
not certain whether he will be
prosecuted for the Federal viola
tions.
Jonkel is a former Chicago
press agent who was imported to
Maryland to do a hatchet job on
Tydings by Mrs. Ruth McCor
mick Miller Tankersley, a niece j
of Col. McCormick and ex-editor
of the Washington Times-Hemld.
The Senate Elections subcom
mittee investigated the Maryland
campaign last winter and spirng.
It is expected to issue a report
soon.
A fake picture showing Com
munist leader Earl Browder and
Tydings in intimate conversation
figured prominently in the cam
paign. Jonkel took full responsi
bility for the phony photo, pub
lished in a campaign paper pre
pared and printed by the Times
Herald.
Again, we ask: How much
longer will Sen. Butler he allowed
to remain in the U. S. Senate?

New Controls Needed
Over Defense Production
The need for increasing controls over defense production
was explained by NPA Administrator Manly Fleischmann
during an interview on the CBS television program, “The
Facts We Face,” on May 6.
Transition from the present controls imposed through
simple limitation orders to more detailed controls under
the Controlled Materials Plan beginning in July has be
come necessary, Mr. Fleischmann said, to insure that end
products for defense purposes will be delivered on schedule.
J,We do not want to face a
situation,” he Said, “where a tank
is inoperative because it lacks a
hearing; or an airplane isn’t func
tioning because it lacks an alumi
num fitting; or a radar device is
unable to operate because of the
need for copper.” 1 - - - - -
1952 Will Be Critical Year
Mr. Fleischmann predicted that
the full effect of CMP will nftfrj
be felt until next* year when
“shortages will be most intense.”
He pointed out that more than;
58 billion dollars in military or-,
ders will be placed between now
and June, 1952. and this will
make controls “more than ever
necessary.”
"If we are not forced into all
out war,” he added, “it may very
well be possible to relax controls
by early 1953.”
The heart of the defense pro
gram, Mr. Fleischmann said, is to
increase our supply of materials
so that we can have both a top
flight military establishment and
a high civilian economy.
Two approaches, he said, are
being taken to accomplish these
objectives: (1) conservation of
materials by restricting non-es
sential uses and by stockpiling,
and (2) expansion of our produc
tion resources.
Bigger Production Goals Set
"It is almost unbelievable how
much American industry has al
ready grown,” he stated, “but it
still isn’t enough to do our pres
ent job.
“For example, we were produc
ing steel at the rate of 100 mil
lion tons a year in June, 1960.
Our goal is 117 million tons by
1953. We had 750 thousand tons
of aluminum capacity in June last
year. Our goal by 1953 is 1.300,
000 tons.
“While we have steadily in
creased our electric power pro
duction capacity to the high fig
ure of 67,500,000 kilowatts, we
need 22 million more kilowatts.”
Mr. Fleischmann reviewed the
help that Government has given
private industry in plant ex
pansion through quick tax write
offs and by lending funds or
guaranteeing loans. He expressed
the opinion that these aids “may
not be’ enough.”
Asked whether an over-expan
sion of our industrial machine
might not plunge the nation into
a severe depression, Mr. Fleisch
mann answered:
“I do not think so. I do not
agree that any nation can ever
over-produce. Productive effort
is what increases the standards
of living of everyone. I do npt
believe a strong nation, like the
United States, will ever waste
its ability to create.”
