What is believed to be record was established by printer in California who served fifty-three years in the state print ing department plant. He served under thirteen governors; began at the age of sixteen. No other person today can equal that record or will in California because the law out there says he can't start be- fore eighteen and must retire at seventy years of age.

National Defense Commission go to the White House every Thurs day to report on defense prog ress, Nelson Rockefeller goes with them. However, it would take a long stretch of the imagination to bring under Defense" the full scope of Rockefeller's ambitious plans for closer freindship be- low the Rio Grande.
 To accomplish this, he has brought into his office one of the most diversified groups of experts recently seen in Washington. It includes:
 Will Clayton-of the cotton mer' chandising firm of Clayton and Anderson, who tangled with AAA crop control in the early New Deal days, turned in disgust to Brazil, and now taught the BraZilians to grow more cottin and gin it bet ter.
 Joseph c. Rovensky-vice presi- de nt of the Chase National bank and one of the experts on German currency and barter trade, the chief type of competitor which the United Sttaes faces in South America.
 Robert G. CaldweIl-dean of hu- manities at Massachusetts 1nsti- tue of Technology; born in Bogota and former Minister to Portugal and Bolivia. He will handle Rockefeller's cultural relations.
 Carl Speath-a classmate of Rockefeller's at Dartmouth, who later handled much of his work in Venezuela and is now his per- sonal assistant.
 A. V. Cory-a geologist from Butte, Montana, with active min- ing experience in Brazil and Ar gentina.
 Henry A. Moe-formerly of the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, who will now direct the division of scholarships for Rockefeller, most important job if there is to be real Interchange of students in the Western Hemisphere.

Selected Poem
AUTUMN BOY.

AUTUMN BOY. (Agnes D. Moore In the New York Sum saw his orange sweater flash Among the trees more bold than he, Where sunac was a scarlet splash That covered him below the knee. He took the fence in running stride; The brook went down before his pace, The pile of leaves he kicked aside Resettled ln another placel
  Distance and color stole his shape, A harlequin in autumn cloak, And left the path Of his escape Impermanent Rs light, as smoke.

fee might cause a revenue loss tC the state of as much as million and a half dollars year, which is not pin money even to state whicf at present is in better financia! shape than most states. But we are doilng big things in the highway line these days and the states credit is being freely pledged on huge under takings, which ars being made direct obligations on motorists, so caution would appear to be advisable in making further changes in fees without some reductions in depart mental operations or other costs State finances still have long way to go to reach that happy condition of some years ago when there wa no bonded debt.

employment compensation law.
 For instance: The amount of un- employment compensation a man is entitled to depends on the a. mount of insured employment he has had during the preceding year. A man who is in the draft army is not, of course, going to need un- employment insurance while he is in uniform; but when he finishes his year of training he will have spent an entire year in a non-in- sured job-and hence for the fol- lowing year, will be extremely shy on unemployment insurance pro- lection.
 In other words, his year of serv- ice will simply cancel the protection he has built up.
 AVERAGE WAGE
 WILL GO DOWN
 The draftee's rights under old age and survivors insurance will be somewhat less drastically affected He will spend an entire year in a non- occupation. Hence, on the Social Security Boards books his average wagon which the insurance he or his survivors will ultimately get is to be based-will go down. Thus the amount coming to him or to his survivors will be lower than it would have been if he had stayed out of the army. It is the unemployment insurance angle which is worrying officials of the Social Security Board most They expect that when the first year of training ends, a great many draftees will meet some delay ill finding jobs. Legally, drafted worker is entitled to have his old job back; in practice, it is believed this will be rather hard to enforce, The boards experts figure some form of unemployment allowances will be pretty badly needed when the draftees go back to civil life yet as the law now stands, not a man jack will be entitled to any. TWO REMEDIES
 SUGGESTED
 Two ways of remedying the sit- uation have been suggested. One is simply to freeze" every draftee's status as of the date of his entering the service: to rule that his rights to all benefits under the social security act would be the same when he came out as they were when he went in. One objec- tion to this is it wouldn't help the man who had accumulated no bene- fits before he was drafted; another is that the states might thereafter be called on to pay unemployment insurance for a period during which they had collected no payroll taxes.
 The solution preferred by Chair man Altmeyer of the Social Secu- rity Board would call for amend ing the social security act so as to make army service covered" job The army then would report to the board the wages paid to each man, and would deduct the proper tax from each soldiers pay envelope One thing Altmeyer likes about this is that the man who had not pre- viously been in a covered job could start building up some benefits for himself.
 If the act is to be amended, Con- gress will have to do something this fall. Any change in the unemploy- ment insurance title would require action by all the state legislatures They convene in January; ii they are to act, Congress must complete its part of the job ahead of time.

Robot Developed
To Get Data
On Weather

An automatic, radio operated
weather reporting station has been
developed by two radio experts of
the National Bureau of Standards,
Lyman J. Briggs, director of the
bureau, announced today.
These robot stations can be placed
nearly anywhere. Tests show they
can be depended on for informa-
ton on barometric pressure, air
temperature, relative humidity, wind
direction and velocity and rainfall
at certain predetermined intervals.
Developed by Harry Diamond and
Wilbur S. Human, jr, of the bu-
reau's radio section, the robot sta
lions record all weather changes
by converting each change into a
variation in electrical resistance,
which in turn produces a change in
meditation frequency of the set.
Extremely low frequencies are used.
These low frequencies allow me-
chanical keying of a conventional
radio telegraph transmitter. This
makes unnecessary any compli-
mentary modulating equipment.

Discovers Suwdust
Useful for Concrete

ST. PAUL (P.-Concrete made
with sawdusJ instead of sand has
been developed at the University
of Minnesota.
Searching for materials to give
ordinary concrete the advantages
of light weight, cheapness and
high insulating value, the agricul-
tural engineering division has found
sawdust the most promising. L. w.
Neubauer, assistant in agricultural
engineering, who supervised the
tests, said that for certain uses,
where great strength is not de-
manded and where weathering is
not severe, clean aspen. spruce or
Norway and Jack pine sawdust make
a fairly satisfactory substitute for
sand and gravel.

credit, the American tax will apply
against the income from foreign
sources only where the foreign tax
rate is less than the United States
rate.
The proposed bill carries certain
relief provisions. These include
special treatment for corporations
required to refund to their vendees
amounts attributable to any tax not
paid under the Agricultural Adjust
ment Act of 1888, as amended; those
that have suffered heavy losses dur
ing the base period because Of fire,
storm, shipwreck, and those corpo-
rations with unusually large operat-
ing deficits during the base period.
The bill provides that operating def
icits shall reduce invested capital
only to the amount of the earned
surplus.
The House last week approved
two amendments sponsored by the
Ways and Means Committee. One
would exempt from the tax domestic
corporations that derive at least IS
per cent of their income from
soruces outside the United States.
The other provides special treatment
for air lines with Government mail
contracts. Under this amendment
an air line will be subject to the
excess profits tax If 1t has a net
income outside the Government mail
subsidy. If it has no excess profits
without the subsidy, it will not be
required to pay the tax.
