A Riot Occurs In Linn County Ltnn county last week had a sample of the violence which has marked CIO tactics all over the naUon. The citizenry of Cedar Rapids were quickly aroused and the support of various organiza- tions was promised in preventing a recurrence of the riot at the W'ilson Produce plant. The tactics of the C]O have repeatedly been to drop all sense of fairness or reasonable- ness and resort to violence. The Cedar Rapids Tribune, labor paper, says that the "CIO has no understanding of the legal defini- tion of the word 'picketing'. Worse than that, it (the riot) happened rbecause the law enforcement agen- cies of Cedar Rapids and Llnn county seem to have had no cor- rect understanding of legal picket- ing . . ." "Peaceful picketing," The Tri- bune continues, "has been sanc- tioned and upheld many times by the Supreme Court of the United States. But it must be peacefhl add the Supreme Court defines 'peaceful picketing. If the peace officers will use that rule as a yardstick . . they won't need to wonde~r .what their duty is in such cases." Blame for the riot is charged by the Tribune to the fact that the law officers did nothing to inter- fere with law violations during the packing house strike last spring. Officers if they hew to the line, permit peaceful picketing and crack down hard on unpeaceful picketing ~ll have the support of the AF of L, The Tribune says. Cedar Rapids law enforcement has been in for the most bitter criticism over heard from average citizens as a result of the riot. The riot, apparently carefully planned, happened quickly as offic- ers from staffs not large enough to cope with that sort of thing, relax- ed their vigil. Everyone has prob- ably learned from the incident and the officers will be better prepared next time. The logical thing for the police depa.rt~ent ~nd sheriff's office to do to regain the respect of the people is to 'bring some of the go~)ns used i~ the riot to justice. Shortage Scares Tend To Make More Hoarding Editor Lud Hedge Assistant Editor Peggy Jane Mcgee Business Manager Carolyn Neal Typists--Elizabeth Wolfe, Gloria Hedge. Reporters--Bill Lilts, Bette Cole, Phelps Manning, James King, Leers Foster, June Longerbeam and Gwen Symth. EDITORIAL In coming one step closer to the !top of the ladder, we find varied !opinions as to the nature of feel- ings in the different classes. For i the seniors it seems strange not to have older students to look up to any longer. Many are beginning to worry about what they will do after Lhey graduate. Being a senior is- n't as much fun as you imagine it will be when you first enter high school. The juniors by this time are be- ginning to feel more grown up and important around the school. You will notice that a few of them are beginning to wonder what it will be like the next year when they are seniors. The only interest of the sopho- mores right now is the initiation of the freshman. They haven't yet stopped having a good time, and probably won't begin worrying un- til next year. The freshman are likely to be a bit puzzled as yet, although some do get the famous idea that since they have entered into high school, they are now big shots. No matter how we see the mem- bers of other classes, we should re- member that we either will be or have been the same way, and that every person in his own way means well. THE GREAT A'MERICAN DRAMA There were laughs and fun-a- plenty at the Velvet Curtain try- outs on last Wednesday evening. Who could help laughing at such things as Peggy Magee's imitation of Miss Hughes, Phelps Manning as a ballet dancer and Joan Pringle talking to her boyfriend in between her duties as telephone operator? And poor Jean Hunt told a hard luck story about being an orphan who is working her way thru col- lege by getting votes for selling magazine subscriptions. She needs only 550,000 votes and now has 460,732 votes, so we think she's well on her way to success. Marianne Vodicka "brought down the house" with her impres- !sions of a woman playing bridge. Jack Koch told about Raymond Radcliff, "wan innocwent, waw- abwiding, cuaitizen who bwecwame invwolved in a hworrwible acci- dwent " An authentic-sounding Italian accent was picked up somewhere by Dorothy Sipple for use in her rendition of the poem "Mia Car- lotta." She also acquired a curl- shaking and moustache twisting technique which of course added to the fun. Turning to a more serious rein, Robert Posposil did an admirable job of portraying the great coach, Knute Rockne. When finally the selections were made known the following people let our squeals of delight at hav- ing been chosen: ]0th grade: Kelth Lusted, Dorothy Sipple, and Jac ~ Koch. llth grade: Marianne Vod- lcka, Gloria Hedge, Joan Pringle, Mary Anna Wooff Gaillard Ber- anek, and Bill Litts. 12th grade: Peggy Magee, Carolyn Neal, Mary Carol Plattenburger, Esther Dvor- ak, Betty Kohl, and Robert Pos- posil. CLASS NEWS Miss Case reports that the sev- enth grade social science class is constructing workbooks. The noon hour recreation will be in force soon. The girls' physical training classes are competing in softball and volley ball contests. The eighth grade history has received its ex- plorers notebooks. Most of the classes under Miss Huches are reading Short stories. Miss Jacobs informs us that the freshman home ec. class is mak- ing jellv. The sophomore home ec. class is planning meals for a fam- ily of four for a whole week. 8th grade English class is learning to write social letters. 7th grade Eng- Quietly, out came sweet little Marianne Vodicka and recited: Pepsi cole hits the spot There's twelve fluid ounces And that's a lot. There followed an unsurpassed, stupendous production of that great drama, "Hiawatha" with Bill Pringle as Hiawatha, Marianne as his grandmother, Vernon Paul as Doeskin, the One and Only Dar- lene Barrett as his sweetheart, iMyrtle (better known as Minneha- ha), and Phelps as manager. After the presentation of the drama, Our three new cheer lead- ers, Eliz.-Wolfe, Bette Cole and Gloria Hedge appeared on the scene and led us in some rousing cheers for the game with DeWitt.

Another result which probably never occurred to Mr. Ickes was the effect on the tourist trade of the east, which ts the life blood of many people and many com- munities. Eastern people headed west for their trips as they were afraid of the gas shortage. Mid- western people didn't go east. The tourist trade is reported to have suffered extensively by Ickes' hasty action. In nearly every case of threaten- ed shortages, the American public has begun to .buy the articles threatened. Many businesses and .many households are carrying a larger inventory of goods than ordinarily. It may be a small amount in each individual case but millions of them may indicate a shortage although in reality there is more of the article than usual.
