Washington, though at present it
applies mainly to freshly created
New Deal agencies.
Since 1846 it has been the settled
law that the United States Govern
ment is not subject to garnishment
of wages. The Supreme Courts
decision to that effect was made in
Buchanan VS.. Alexander. 1t in
volved a clearinghouse keeper,
who was creditor of seamen on
the famous frigate Constitution, but
who was not allowed to attach their
pay in the hands of a Federal dis
bursting officer. The ruling derived
from the principle that the United
States cannot be sued without its
consent. Last month, "a years later,
the Supreme Court decreed that
Federal Housing Administration
wages are subject to attachment.
The decision, written by Mr.. Justice
Douglas, affirmed a finding by the
Michigan Supreme Court in F. H. A.
VS.. Ruth Burr, proprietess of a sec
retarial service bureau, two of whose
graduates entered Government en-
ploy, leaving unpaid bills.

Department Workers Unaffected.
Regular conventional executive
departments, State, War, Navy and
all others represented by cabinet
Offices, are not affected. The courts
ruling is definitely limited to post
1888 agencies, that vast alphabetical
New Deal progeny. and then only
in such cases wherein Congress has
specifically conferred authority to
"sue and be sued" Federal Housing
is one of these. The Reconstruction
Finance Corp. on March / formally
notified its Washington staff that
its wages, under the Supreme Court
ruling, are henceforth attachable
Justice Douglas held that suits"

Of wages and salaries, SO that a
Washington merchant, for example,
who finds that a Government en-
ploye mas fallen down on payments
for fur coat. a piano, an automo-
bile, radio or a suite of furniture,
is now, if the delinquent works for
a "sue-and- e-sued" agency, liable
to have his pay attached.
The Government, in seeking to
set aside the Michigan courts rul-
ing, strongly urged considerations
of policy 1t stressed the heavy
burdens on certain governmental in
strumentalities If garnishment were
permitted. The Federal petitioner
asserted that the task of preparing
answers, disclosures and returns to
numerous garnishment processes in
the courts of each of the States
would appreciably impede Federal
functions Government counsel
further pointed to various State leg
islation restricting garnishment
against public bodies anG held that
if Federal garnishment immunity Is
to be abolished it should be done

Welded LIVE LONGER

1t seems to have been quite thoroughly
established that married persons live
longer than the unmarried, and this is es-
pecially true of men. The fact is borne out
by an exhaustive survey by one of the cOun-
try's largest life insurance companies.
During the period covered by the sur
vey the company's actuaries found that
while the risk of death varies greatly
among the single, the married and the
widowed, one rule holds good consistently,
that the married male is favored over the
unmarried in the matter of long life.
In fact, it is stated that between the
ages of 80 and As the mortality rate among
married men is less than half of that
among those who are single. u0t
Married women, too, as rule live
longer than their unmarried sisters, but
the difference is not so marked as IN the
case of men, The death rate at ages be-
tween 80 and 65 is about 10 per cent less
for married than for single women.
Young wives, however, at ages from
20 i "a show a mortality rate slightly
higher than that for single wom' of the
sa ne ages. This is due, per aps, to the
hazards of bearing children.
The foregoing findings, it is said, are
in keeping with the experiences of other
insurance companies which have made
similar surveys from time to time.

FINAL STEPS FOR AIRPORT!

Executive session of the county COM
mission this coming Wednesday evening
bids fair to take high honors as the most
important meeting of the week, if not for
a longer period. At it, the subject of es-
Enlistment of an army sub-airbase for
BOca Chica key is going to be discussed
and final plans will be laid to prepare the
project for Federal authorities.
At this writing, two landowners
one of them mortgage holder, have still
refused to indicate approval OF the COM
missions fair and liberal price of $500
per acre. But for that circumstance, the
whole 994-acre parcel desired by Civil
AerOnauticS Authority and the L. S. Army
for the airport, would be ready for ex-
change acknowledging of land to the c.
a. A. with construction work to start i'm
mediately.
All that could be done, aiming to-
wards completion of the land purchase and
deliverance to the sponsors of the project
has been done. The meeting this week
will bring decision of what to do about
the two persons who have failed to "go
along" with the majority in approval of
the lard sale.

proceedings will be necessary % obtain
It's airport land. AS pointed out before
sch action will work an unfair hardship
on the great majority which has expressed
speedy satisfaction to the premium terms
quoted. The whole parcel will be pur-
chased, in condemnation, at a much lower
price than the first price granted, land
valuations being what they are at
present.
Nevertheless, it is believed entirely
probable that the commissioners will or
der condemnation proceedings, if, between
now and the executive session, no change
has come in the status of those who are not
cooperating.
The worth to the whole community of
this airpOrt-with its promise of many
thousands of dollars each month of addi-
ticnal income to the city-is too great to
have the action of a mighty small minority
work to upset the whole project. 1t may
be that sacrifices of a sort may be the
wisest course to fCllOw-in order that the
wishes of the great majority may be re-
spected
We say again-let's hope for no con-
domination order. But regardless-we
must have the airport.
