Post, HeIfrich
S+urf Well

Thus far the minority Of the
new City Council, namely Mayor
Thomas Post and Street Commits
sioner Hunter b. Helfrich, have
made the most noise concerning
issues Of the city taxpayers, and
we promise our readers, that
both these gentlemen will fight
for the principles and for the
cause that the electorate placed
In them by electing them to Of
fice.
For the purpose of harmony on
ly. a group OF labor leaders asked
the city council to defer all appoint
ments to city posts for two weeks,
to allow the public to be heard on
the question of appointments. The
advice of the labor group was cast
aside, and the appointments made,
and from the number of complaints
heard on all sides. the appoint
ments were far from being the
nublic's choice.
This has led to an open breach.
and from the way things are start
ing. the three holdovers, the
Messrs. Orr, Edwards and McDOn-
aid. may find themselves behind
the eight ball. in the slanguage oil
Cumberland's main stemmers.
Mayor Post has interjected a real
live issue into the aftermath OF his
election to the post of mayor. He
has asked the court who are the
general city employees? 1t seems
that a legislative act calling for a
10 per cent hike in wages for city
employees, was used by the prev
ious administration as grounds for
giving themselves an increase.
From our knowledge the salaries
of the Mayor and the city commits
sioners are defined in the city code.
The CIO news., 1944-04-24

ceedings by reporting that a city
employe, off work for weeks, has
continued to receive his salary, de-
spite absence of any act that may
enable such provisions to be car
ried out. 1t seems that special
authorization had TO be secured to
pay this employe for two weeks. in
March which was OK. However,
Mr.. Helfrich now wants TO know
under what authority this worker
was still drawing his salary, even
after the prescribed two weeks;
and after he had been dropped
from the payroll.
Mr.. Helfrich used the words
"pay roll padding" and has asked
for a checkup. Solicitor Heskett
in his remarks about such mat
ters, also denounced payroll pad
ding, and promised immediate &C.
ton. The employe in question was
ordered to be paid for two weeks
and dropped from the payroll, by
the previous administration. 1t
now develops that he was paid six
additional weeks. but on whose al-
thority no one knows.
Solicitor Heskett insinuated that
such actions as this for sentiment
al reasons always kick back. The
public would still like to know Just
how this error was made. How
was the man carried on the pay
roll six weeks after his name was
ordered stricken from the roll.
Payroll padding seems a mild word
for actions of this kind. The Of
tense is more serious than that. It
Is a plain case of misuse of pub
lie funds.
Solicitor Heskett is right when
he asks the Street Department and
the Water Department to get to-
geher and adjust questions per-
tanning to overtime. The order
should be enlarged and the entire
Council should get together on all
questions affecting the public well
fare. Bickering, non-cooperation,
and petty squabbles, and self-as-
sumed authority. without regard to
the public interest, may yet lead TO
the worst two years Of misapplied
city government in the history of
Cumberland.

GRAPE VINE
Polly Ticks

The legislative act did not amend
the city code, nor does the legisla.
tive act abridge the city code.
Consequently the salaries are fixed
and made mandatory. But let's
look at this question from another
angle.
A couple of years back, a refer
endum was submitted to the vot-
ers OF Cumberland on the question
of an increase for the Mayor and
Commissioners. The citize en- s,
knowing that the officials do not
spend full time In the Office, and
mostly all have some side line bus
iness to derive most Of their finan-
ces, defeated the proposal for in
increase. Based on the will Of the
citizens at the ballot box, the prev
ious administration Of all persons
should be the last that would ap-
ply an increase to themselves,
when the result Of the ballot Is
still fresh in the memories OF most
Of the citizenry.
City Solicitor Heskett admits
that the former members Of
council accepted the increase ut
his direction. We wonder II the
solicitor also was covered as .
general city emplOye. There
have been remarks that the pur-
pOseful application Of the ten
per cent raise to the city Of
ficials, despite the will Of the
voters, could be construed as OBJ
tanning money by subterfuge.
Mayor Post should be heartily
commended for his sincerity in
bringing this state of affairs out
into the open, and we hope the
courts answer will not be long de.
layed. The public should be in.
formed speedily of this particular
ham-stringing act.

thority you stake many millions of
votes because of those employees.
Each one of them desires, not only
to keep his job, but to expand his
power.
The bureaucratic system, which is
the heart of the New Deal philoso-
ply, feeds upon its greed for power.
This is one of the outstanding char
acteristics of it.
Another indication is the subor-
dination of the legislative to the ex-
ecutive branch of the government.
A MOTHER one of the dangers
a confronting the American peo-
pie is the power of the executive
over the judicial department of the
government.
Too often judges have been APP
pointed to the federal bench because
of their adherence to the New Deal
philosophy, not because of their out
standing ability as judges AS a re-
suit you have transition going on at
the present time that is really alarm
ing.
There have been so many re-
versals by this court of former opin-
ions that the lower courts have no
standard to follow-no precedent.
The financial program Of the
New Deal is unsound. 1t is based
upon deficit financing, which is not a
part of the war program alone, but
was thoroughly ingrained in their
program before the war, and we can
not continue with deficit financing
after the war is over.

IF WE do, we will tear down the
l very foundations Of our system Of
private enterprise the capitafistic
system as it is developed in this
country, because the foundation of
sound business financing is also
sound government financing.
The budget will have to balance
as soon as possible after the war if
we are to save a very serious situa-
ton. Money will not be ready to re-
establish business after the war, I'M
less there is more of a possibility of
return than there is probability Of
loss.
All Of this is related to the inter-
national field. | have always gone
on the premise that we cannot do
much in the international field to
help anybody else unless we keep our
own government strong, free, sound
financially and responsive to the
judgment and will of our people.
If that be true and we do have
the representative system Of govern
ment here, we will be able to render
a great service to the world in the
postwar days, first in creating an
international organization "a con-
ference table whereby there will be
continuing discussion and considera-
ton of international problems-the
points Of friction and differences
that might lead to serious difficulty
and maybe to war.
IN ADDITION to that, there will
l have to be consideration given to
the international financial situation.
If we stabilize our own economy, if
we have a sound monetary system,
we can give great aid to the estab-
lishment of international stability.
Then finally, the United States
ought to participate in an interna-
tional court, which will have the
power to pass upon justifiable ques-
tons in international law.
In our international dealings, we
should always be motivated by what
is good for America.

between the United States and It's
Allies in regard to postwar agree
ments and policies there is Secretary
Hull's recent statement :" of U. S.
foreign policy.
Mr. Hull's Identification" of the
postwar policy of the United States
is nothing but ridiculous case Of
double talk.
His explanations are not intended
to clarity, but to confuse.
1t is said he has explained IN

Why in private?
Why not explain in public what

HuII'S Secrecy

was SPECIFICALLY DECIDED at
Moscow or Teheran in regard to post
war matters.
The people will learn nothing in
the Hull statement as to the admin
istration S non military detectives.
Never have we seen more clearly
the proof of Voltaire's epigram that
speech is given us to conceal our
thoughts than in the II points on
foreign policy" of our secretary of
state.
Such secretiveness is dangerous
in democracy.
It leads to universal suspicion of
the motives and acts of the admins
tration.
Our two major Allies, England
and Russia, have announced their
postwar foreign policies.
DRIME MINISTER CHURCHILL
L has said that he did not become
the kings first minister in order to
lessen the power of the British En-
pire.
The implications in that are plain
enough, and although Mr. Churchill
in his most recent broadcast threw no
further light on foreign policy, he did
give to the people of Britain in mi
mute detail the governments postwar
social policies.
Marshal Stain has made plain to
the world Russia postwar foreign
policy.
It is to tear up the Atlantic Char
ter and to communize as much of
Europe as he can.
Only the government of the
United States is befogged on both
foreign and postwar domestic poll
cies.
No more singing criticism of this
policy of secrecy on the part of the
administration has been made than
by Gov Dewey.
He demands to know why the &C.
cidental killing of 40 of our para
troopers by American anti aircraft
guns in Sicily was not revealed to the
people until EIGHT MONTHS had
elapsed and why nothing has been
told us YET Of what postwar poll
cies were decided on at Teheran.
'W the peace We build is to sue
ceed," the governor declared, "it
must reflect the wiIl and understand.
ing OF the people"
That will and understanding can
only be reached by telling the coun-
try the TRUTH.
Or does the administrator FEAR
to tell the truth to the American
people because if it were known what
has been agreed upon in secret it
would knock into cooked hat the
l6 years IN the White House plot?

ONCE my arrival in Indianapolis,
Ohave been asked by several friends
whether the results of the Wisconsin
primary and the withdrawal of Wen
dell WILKES candidacy for the Re-
publican presidential nomination
would in any way change the course
of my campaign.
1t has been my uneeuivoeal an
swer to all of them that | shall in
tensify my campaign for delegates to

In the next three months, | shall
redouble my efforts to inform the
nation fully of my position on all of
the important questions confronting
the people of the country today.
7 HAVE found the people of our
l country most anxious to hear and
to discuss with me all of the critical
problems both domestic and foreign
now facing us in this perilous time
of war and those that will arise in
the postwar world.
The people of this country will
demand this year complete disclos-
ure of the position of both political
parties on these important questions
and only the party that makes its
position perfectly clear will be en-
titled to the confidence of the people.
The welfare of our nation and the
continuance of free government are

pie talk, and in the fact that a lot of

over to our side. believe we will

am confident of Ohio.
The election of Republican
mayor in Tulsa, Okla, few days
ago, the first time in 16 years, is in
dicative of the trend. The election
of the Denver congressman was also
indicative Of the trend, not only in
Denver, but throughout the state.
THERE are many reasons for this.
1 Underlying it is feeling on the
part of the American people that our
form Of government is being threat
ened; that there has been entirely too
much invasion of private rights, and
entirely too much RECOMMENDATION of
the individual and his business; that
we are losing traditional freedoms
every day; that there is under way
a determined effort on the part of
the New Deal to attach its philoso-
ply to the American system Of gov
eminent, not only during the war but
for the period after the war.
For instance, some one recently
remarked to me that the American
people will never give up rationing-
that they are pleased with it.
The social security bill now be-
fore the Congress is another indca-
ton Of the attitude of the New Deal
that there shall be further invasion
of local government.
THE EXPANSION of government
1 is another indication. There are
now three and a half million on the

ployes That is the ratio of the
country at large.
