ABOUT PEOPLE :.
Ed. A. Barber

holding a job in the musicians
union equivalent to that of Pros
ecutor. Ed. began by stripping
us of everything in sight, includ-
ing the dicky. Then he sat down
satisfied that the $50 fine he ask
ed for would be forthcoming in
the verdict of the jury, then the
executive committee. He won
and he didn't, because the jury,
inclined little to split hairs, cut
the total in half and we left $25
light, but rich in the acquisition
of a lexicon filled with exple-
tives.
But there the matter ended.
Never have we entertained a
grudge against the venerable
prosecutor. Many a time we
meet on the street, exchange
greeting and some times a short
beer, and go our respective ways.
Even to this day he retains his
love for open combat. He'll ar
que on any subject and if you're
on the other end you can be GER
tain of emerging just a little tan
ned if, indeed, you're not COM
pletely scorched. His innuen-
does are interspersed with a mild
profanity that is refreshing and
colorful.
He's been known to reduce the
stature of many a big-wig to
that of common ordinary man
when he tears loose. He'll bide
his time for weeks to accost the
man to whom he has something
to say; then he goes into action.
He still likes to play an instru-
ment. Tuba is his favorite, and
his tastes in this respect are just
as definite as his convictions in
others. 1t would be murderous
to ask him to warm up on Jump
in Jive" when there is a band
arrangement of "Under the
Dohble Eagle" or an orchestra
tion of a Strauss waltz lying
about. But, up until few years
ago, if any swing tune could
have been set to marching tempo
and placed in the Tyre of his
bass to be played marching down
West Main street on Labor Day.
you can bet your last pair of
socks Ed. would have played it
or died in the attempt. Of such
stuff are legacies to posterity
born. In this case it's trade
unionism.
At the last meeting of the Mu-
sicians' Union in January, Ed.
who lives near Johnstown, was
advised not to attend because of
the weather and his condition.
But he was there. He rode some
distance with a friend, snatched
bus at another point and arriv-
ed in time to answer roll call.
Nobody's keeping Ed. Barber
from any !*$-(-.-C*)) union
meeting and that's that.

In 29-page opinion, Judge
Hurd dismissed an appeal by the
United States Coal Co. of Brad
ley, Ohio, which had sought to
block payment of unemployment
compensations to miners thrown
out of work during contract ne
gotiations with operators.
BUG Administrator H. c. At
kinson had ruled that a strike
existed, and that benefits were
not payable to miners under the
Ohio law. He was overruled by
the Board of Review in a ma
jority opinion by Chairman Yer
.-ner Metcalf and Member w. T.
Roberts, in which Member Wal
; ter J. Mackey dissented.
"The failure of an agreement
in this case was merely a state
of mind," Judge Hurd's opinion
read. Neither a strike nor a
lockout can exist merely as a
state of mind. In each case
thought must go out into ac-
tion."
Judge Hurd pointed out that
no strike call was issued by the
union, and that there was no

1t was a year of important
events. Events that figured in
the history of Newark, the Unit
ed States and, indeed, the world.
For while the First National
Bank opened it's doors upon a
new era in business, the nation
was engaged in a Civil War
whose end, while in sight, was
still doubtful. The doom of Amer
ica's Lincoln had been sounded
but was yet to be executed.
And the Supreme Court of the
United States was first opening
its eyes on a course of procedure
that was to make it one of the
foremost agencies in our consti-
tutional government.
1t was in the midst of such
historical happenings that Judge
Jerome Buckingham, first pres
ident of the bank, greeted pa
irons who were to make the in
stitution part of their daily
business endeavors. Persons
whose sons, daughters, grand
sons and granddaughters were to
follow in suit.
The location at that time was
on the west side of South Third
just diagonally across the street
from the present bank building.
Judge Buckingham's official po-
sition was shared by V. H.
Wright, first cashier of the in
stitution The former held the
post of president until 1902; Mr..
Wright was identified as cashier
until 1877.
Following Judge buckingham
was F. S. Wright, president from
1902 to 1927. In 1927 E. c.
Wright succeeded to the office
and has been there since.
Only four cashiers have fig
ured in the growth of the bank
since it's inception. They were:
V. H. Wright, 1865-1877; F. S.

three State Parks-Moundbuild-
ers, Octagon and Flint Ridge
Memorial-started prior to July
/, progressed steadily during the
six months period, according to
Mrs. Hughes, and minor con-
struction work and landscaping
on the grounds around Handy
House in Westerville, performed
by a crew from the same project,
was started under the sponsor
ship of the Ohio State Archaeo-
logical Society. The roadside
park at Linnville was also built
by NYA youth under the super
vision of the State Highway De-
partment.
The newest project to get un-
der way in Licking County, ac-
cording to the report, is the REA
pole marking program which is
providing part-time employment
for II boys. These youth, Mrs.
Hughes explains, are marking
the poles along the lines of the
Licking Rural Electrification,
Inc. and are receiving training
that will stand them in good
stead when applying for jobs
with utility companies.

picketing of mines covered by
the Appalachian agreement.
The judge declared "labor
dispute" did exist between the
union and operators, but denied
employers arguments that the
terms ''labor dispute" and
"strike" were synonymous.
"Our conclusion is," Judge
Hurd added, "that the condition
existing upon the expiration of
the basic agreement was no
strike, no lockout, but merely a
state of inertia due primarily to
the expiration of the basic agree
ment."
Administrator Atkinson de-
scribed the court ruling as being
"very valuable" in clarifying
and defining the intent of the
compensation law" He explain
ed the customary seasonal slack
in operations followed the shut
down and that he believed
great many miners had received
sixteen weeks benefits, the max
imum in one year under the law.

President Roosevelt IL trying to
create . general feeling Of party
solidarity in advance Of the Demo-
cratic National Convention, re.
liable sources said yesterday.
Informed Senators asserted that
Mr.. Roosevelt was ready to do his
part to bring about harmony be-
tween factions which have battled
intermittently through the seven
years of his administration.
The Democrats will meet at Chi
cago July IS, and the President was
said to believe that party friction
in the intervening period might de-
velop bitter convention battles which
would weaken the Democrats In the
forthcoming campaign.
1t was reported reliably that Mr..
Roosevelt had been particularly
friendly to Vice President Garner in
recent weeks and had evidenced
good will toward several Senators
who sometimes opposed New Deal
programs.
The President outran Mr.. Garner
in the Wisconsin, Illinois and Cali
fornia presidential primaries, but al
agreement regarding Mr.. Gamers
home State Texas delegation was
worked out between supporters Of
the two men.
There has been no administration
effort to unseat anti-New Deal
Democrats seeking denomination to-
the Senate, as there was in 1898.
Informed persons predicted there
would be none.
Several Roosevelt supporters in|
the Senate contended that the IN

TeIevision Decisions

By Head Of F. {.
Frequency Modulotion
Issue Also Will Be
Worked Out Promptly
Nv WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY.

Manufacturer Of radio transmit
ting and receiving apparatus are
pressing for an early decision on the
television and frequency meditation
questions now pending before the
Federal Communications Commis-
sion. They have pointed out they
need a prompt decision on alloca-
tions and standards Of these two
services If they are to be ready for
fall business, and in time for broad
casting the next presidential inaug-
uration.
Although the commission lacked
quorum yesterday, there was an
informal conference of three men,
bers. during which the two pressing
problems were discussed. The full
commission is expected to consider
television broadcasting this week,
with a view to reaching an immedi-
ate decision. Chairman James L.
Fly promised the matter would be
settled this week, after which the
commission will take up promptly
the question Of frequency modula- =
ton. Those attending the confer
ence yesterday were Chairman Fly
and Commissioners 7. A. M. Craven
and Paul A. Walker.
The commission is concerned
about the allocations of frequencies.
Both the television and frequency
modulation services require broad
bands, as distinguished from the
single frequencies of the present
broadcast services. The problem is
to find the frequencies necessary to
permit the two services to operate
and to get them grouped to provide
for future developments. without
again facing the need Of re-
ALLEGATIONS.
The commission mas before it 1873
applications for authority to con-
struct frequency modulated stations.
There already are II stations
licensed on an experimental basis,
2 Of them in Washington, and the
National Broadcasting Co. and the

have applications pending for such
