Abraham Lincoln, In Washing
ton, received a committee from
the Virginia constitutional con-
vention to d discuss with-it a
eaceful preservation OF the
Union"
Doesn't that recall a peace"
consultation in the state depart
ment in 1941 between the sec

Pearl Harbor?
April IS. 1861, was. then, our
first Pearl Harbor.

soft" on spies and traitors we
might reread these words OF
Lincoln:
"Must I shoot a supplemented
soldier who deserts while i must
not touch a hair Of a willy agita-
tor who induces him 10 desert ."
There's only one answer 10
that. This is a good slice OF our
Civil War history.
MO. MADAME. education and

brothers of approximately the

high school.
Well. one Of them will become
a thinker, poet or he big
time industrial executive before
he's %.
Another brother - with the
same education, remember will
remain clerk or door-to-
door salesman for the rest OF his
life.
The third will be an absolute

ALuxury We Cannot Afford

CONGRESSIONAL h hearings have
- turned a spotlight on the man
power shortage" in the United States in
a manner that should shake the political
structure of the country to its foundations
Mai. Gen Lewis B. Hershey, national
selective service director, operated this
spotlight by disclosing to the Senate
military affairs committee that FIVE AND
ONE-HALF MILLION people are on the
pay rolls of federal, state and local
government.
Terming this a luxury we cannot
afford" General Hershey declared:
1T seems to me that five and half
million employees is TOO LARGE a pro-
portion of manpower to be used in a
luxury government"
Supplementing this disclosure, Senator
Harry F. Byrd of Virginia remarked that
roughly half of the total government
personnel in the country is in federal en-
ploy and commented:
"Out of the $500, 900 federal employees
scattered through Washington and other
cities, ONE-THIRD or some 100000
could be eliminated.
Not only would their elimination not
harm the functioning of the government,
1t would actually result in increased
efficiency.
There are so many employees now,
particularly in nOndefense work, that
many of them are GETTING IN EACH
OTHERS WAY"
IT is no wonder that agriculture is short
i of hands, with a diminishing national
food supply as the result; that industry
and especially war production industry is
short Of workers, with insufficient arms,
planes, ships, tanks and guns for the
fighting forces as the result; that even the
armed forces themselves are finding it
difficult to build up adequately for the
winning of the war.
II Senator Byrd is correct that nearly
ONE MILLION PEOPLE could be re-
leased from federal employment today,
not only without injury to essential fed
eral services but with actual benefit to
them, distinct relief and possibly solution
Of the manpower shortage is offered.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-10-23

Without question, an important part of
the million would be eligible for military
service and would augment the armed
forces substantially.
Another important part could be
utilized in agriculture, with instant and
notable Improvement of the food situation.
Another equally important part could
be employed in war production industries,
with impetus to the flow of materials to
the fighting fronts.
1t is indeed a luxury we cannot
afford to have this palpable WASTE of
manpower, at a time when shortage Of
hands is obstructing the war and pro-
longing it and raising the specter of
LOSING it.
= ENERAL HERSHEY and Senator
VI Byrd are to be commended for spot
lighting this grave weakness in the Amer
lean war program.
While it is nothing NEW that has
been disclosed-sinoe excessive political
patronage has always burdened the coun-
try grievously, even in peacetime-it is
something more unnecessary than ever
before and something less excusable than
ever before and something infinitely more
costly and DANGEROUS than ever before.
Long before the war, Senator Byrd
pointed out the possibility and necessity
of saving TWO BILLION DOLLARS
ANNUALLY through curtailment of UNI
essential federal expenditures, and inn
plored the Congress to give the American
people the benefit of such a saving.
But neither before nor SINCE the war
has the Congress done So or seriously
attempted to do so.
America is paying a dire price for that
neglect-paying it in terms of insufficient
war production and undermined armed
forces and of stringently reduced con-
sumner goods of all kinds, including food
Let us dispense with this burden of
luxury" government.
1t was responsible for the deplorable
unpreparedness of America for this war
II is obstructing our successful conduct of
the war. 1t constitutes grave threat to
our winning OF the war.

J. DYKES FINED FOR 'STALLING'
White SOx Manager Says League Presidents Ac-

Chicago, June 10 --(Up)- Mild- hammered William Harridge, presi- dent of the American league, and belligerent Jimmie Dykes, manager Of the Chicago White Box, were in opposite corners today for a fight that may supply more action than the circuits pennant chase.
 HarTidge fined Dykes $25O and publicly rebuked him yesterday for stalling in the second game of a double-header at Boston Sunday.
 Dykes charged that Harridge was unfair and promised to "have something to say before this thing is Over."
 Must Pay
 Dykes, who talked himself into the trouble with Empires Eddie Rommell, Bill McGowan and Cal Hubbard, will request an audience with Harridge immediately upon his return to Chicago June 16. Mean time, he must pay the fine as he was given only five days in which to meet the assessment.
 In lining Dykes, Harridge in. dulged in uncommonly strong com- ment. He charged Dykes with de- liberate stalling to prevent comple- tion of the contest before the 6:3O p. m. Sunday deadline and said:

There's No Such A Thing As Nerves in Golf; You Either Do Or You Don't, Asserts Nelson; ReveiIIe
 Sounds for Turnesa Just the Same

New York, June.-1n the P.G.A. tournament at Seaview, Harry Cooper had @ Negro caddy named Nelson Johr son..
 Tn his tense quarter-final with Byron Nelson, Cooper became upset at some mistake, he believed the caddy had made.
 Nelson" he exploded, crossing the road for the 37th and first extra hole, you are lunkhead and no- good fool"
 Byron Nelson was walking along side of Cooper, and the outburst even jared the golfing automaton.
 Were you talking to me, Harry" he asked, puzzled at the show Of temper and entire lack of decorum.
 Light-horse Harry Cooper, of course, hastily assured the Inverness Model that he was addressing his remarks to another Nelson-of some what lesser stature.
 Nelson and Jimmy Demaret agree that there is no such thing as nerves in golf
 If there were any pressure on me when I missed the two-foot putt which enabled Corp. Jimmy Tur- mesa to pull up even at the 36th, wasn't aware of it in the slightest, explains Lord Byron of the iron pulse.
 "When my drive went out oi bounds on the 37th hole, was try ing to keep the ball to the right It hit a tree and bounced out. The ball might have ricochetted the other way, giving me a clear shot to the green.
 "You either do or you don't in this game. Of course, the element of luck is there, but you'll get the breaks in the long run if you keep hitting your shots correctly" Against Sam Snead, Demaret

 Nelson calls Corporal Turnesa the finest butter he ever saw. Like Willie Turnesa the year lie bagged the National Amateur, the sixth of seven brothers also excelled at get- ting out of trouble. While he ap. peared to be the most nervous play CT in the tournament, the lad from the Medical Corps was the steadiest.
 A little fellow-he weighs no more than 140 pounds-Corpora Turnesa is built from the waist up. He has beautiful upright swing and fine pair of hands.
 Corporal Turnesa didn't do bad job in pressing Sam Snead after eliminating Dutch Harrison, Jug McSpaden, Ben Hogan and Nelson.
