It now looks as .if the Taft- Hartley l.*bor Act ..'and its GOP authors had given s new lease on life to something the Republicans wanted  to stop   labor  politics.
It was no secret that Messrs, Taft, Hartley et all wanted to up¬ set the CIO's Political Action Com¬ mittee, so active in ringing door¬ bells and opposing a,iti-labor candi¬ dates.
However, the Taft-Hartley law has now inspired certain labor leaders hitherfo not so active in politics to get busy again. For instance:

Cily politics jumped into the limelight last week with the an¬ nouncement by Honorable Cornelius J. McCole that he has had enough, that he will call it a day with the termination of his term as mayor at the end of the year. The an¬ nouncement presumably was made to give the leaders of the party ample time to secure a new man to take his place for the nomination at the primaries. The mayors de¬ cision may have been unexpected by a majority of the people whose government he haa headed for the past four years, but to this column it was no surprise. His honor strongly intimated to the writer that he had little taste for the "political side of City Hall life, especially since the four members of the council determined to make politics thVir chief aim in the gov'- ernment of the city by taking complete control of the police de¬ partment from Uie mayor, in whose hands the law intended it should rest. As a result of t^s weakening of the iaw and order departmeni of the city vice has been rampant the pasl year and gamblers have been free to carry on their nefarious business. And it must be well remembered that Mayor McCole was elected on much of a non-partisan basis, a commit¬ tee of Republicans joining the Democrats in placing him at the head of the cily.
Mayor Mi.-Cole enjoyed the lighter side of his duties as mayor. He was right at home in welcoming visiting delegations to the com¬ munity and as such he gave the city an abundance of good adver¬ tising. To be frank .Con was never cut out to be a hard-boiled official, and the Lord knows Wilkp'^-Barre is in need of just such. .^.' was trained as an insurance executive and had no appetite for spoils politics. His determination to quit the office a few weeks before the time expires for filing nomination papers will no doubl bring the mayoralty to the front in 1947 politics. Wilkes-Barrc being the metropolitan center of the county, there will be general interest in fhe campaign that will now be launched for the office. %
Wllkes-Barre is sorel.v in need of a mayor who will give his full lime and attention to the office. This is not guaranteed by any of the names so far slated for the post. So it is up to the citizens of the city, Irrespective of party affiliations, to see that a man aspires for the place who not only oan be depended upon to be on the job forty hours a week instead of an average of ten hours it has been the practice for several years. This column Intends to use whatever power It may possess to .see that such a candidate is elected. We feel that a man who receives $5,500 a year from the taxpayers should make the office of mayor more than a side business.
We understand that Influential elements In both parties are of the same opinion and intend to nom¬ inate fun-time candidates for the office. As .vet neither of them has made selections, having been de¬ layed by lack of knowledge as to what Mayor McCole intended to do. It will be hard for the two factions of the GOP to avoid a fight, as City Hal! and county or¬ ganization do not see eye to eye in their party's politics. City Hall seems to be committed to Council¬ man Kniffen but the heads of the count.v organiiation have aa yet given no intimation as to the man they  favor.

New Mystery Submarine
The Navy is developing a secret reconnaissance plane, "the flying turtle," to guard American shores against fast, deep-.sea submarines the Germans developed before the end of the war. It will be a land- baaed patrol plane, equipped with super devices for sounding out objects lurking in the ocean's depths.
The Navy asked Congress for $78,000,000 to manufacture this mys¬ terious craft, but the GOP nickel- nursers In the Housi\ more con¬ cerned with dollars than defense, turned it down. Desperately the Na\'y appealed to the Senate Appro¬ priations Committee. Behind lock¬ ed doors.

composition of the 1947 party ticket. The committeemen are not the loving band of brothers that has been ruling things Republican the pasl several years. "The out¬ spoken members of the commiure are firm in their opinion that something new in the shape of candidates will have to be pre- sented this .vear. They feel that all the prospective candidates have now had a trial run and it is high lime that .some definile action be taken in order that the county's hundred thousand Republicans know that the committeemen are on the job as the guardians of the parly's welfare. The more con¬ servative committeemen feel that unusual care must be exercised in the framing of the 1947 slate. This Is due to the record madA during the legislative session by Governor Duff's leaders on coal-stripping and in levying new taxes on what the great majority of people regard as necessities. It is felt that men of character^and responsibility »are needed today more than ever. To bring this to a realization not only must taxpayers be nominated, but It is ju.st as important that men be favored who do not carry their tax burdcn,s in thc names of their wives, as some county officers now do
No public announcement haa as yet been made of a slate and it is quite likely that none will be made for some time. The majority of the district committeemen are said to favor keeping everything in the dark on slates until the last min¬ ute. This plan has worked out very satisfactorily in lhe past, as it makes it impossible for the rank and file to make an unpopular can- did.ite a target. This plan is not without its bad features for the organization, as it tends to induct new candidates to appear every few- days, thinking that inasmuch as no slate has been formed there is slill a chance for a new aspirant. Failure to indicate the organization choice for district attorney, now that Eon Jones has decided to aspire for the bench, haa led thp friends of Assistant District At¬ torney Herman Cardoni to start a boom for him for the big job In the office,
Attornev Cardoni, It will be re¬ membered, was looked upon as the top man for county afises.sor, but at the last minute was induced to smother his ambitions with the promise that something better would come his way this year. An¬ other boom reached Uie Court House from Forty Fort, a Repub¬ lican stronghold that has long been neglected in the naming of county officials. It was in behalf of George Turner, who has given efficient service for more than a quarter of a century in about every office in the Court House. George came to the temple ori'^lnally from Newport township, which is in the same class as Forty Fort in the matter of GOP nerrlect. But George is recognized as an independent and it will take some strong pressuring to have the Court House leaders kiss him on both cheeks.
Democrats are beginning to show activity, e.specially the Democratic city committee now headed by former Jury Commissioner Patrick J, Finn. Chairman Finn is strong in the opinion that the chances for victory in 1947 arr better 'han they have been in any year since the triumph of thc party in 1937. Chairman Finn sees no reaaon ior the hesitancy of leaders in entering some acceptable candidates, owing to the record that the Republicans Governor Duff has given his ap-1 «:ave them  as an Issue during the
proval to two laws that many lead er« at the City Hall and Court House feel may have disastrous effect on their hopes for an easy victory over the weakly organized Democrats in the November elec¬ tion. These laws are the faulty stripping measure a bill that was undoubtedly prepared by the legal advisers of the powerful GOP stripping politicians in the anthra¬ cite territory, and the law giving the governing bodies in Wilkes- Barre, Nanticoke, Hazleton and Pittston, ,'as well as all our bor- ougs aatd townships of the flrst class, Jihe power to pas.s a sales tax or l^vx. a tax on wages, amuse- . etc. It is felt that tax- ,;«ifs will have to be mighty care- 'in the selcrtion of their officials they do not wa^t to be nlaced under crushing J-axation burden.

legislative session. He promises that the citv Democrats will be on the job in due time with an excel¬ lent list of canddates for mayor and city council. Although many Democrats show marked preference for former Congressman Daniel J. Flood for mayor, the rhairman says he is noncommittal on any partic¬ ular selections. On the county end the energetic Finn has nothing to say but soems confident that Count.v leaders will be sure to take advantage of the opiiortunity beck¬ oning and present a combination of strong material before the expira¬ tion of the time for filing; parly nominations.
