Put Or Pit
off period, honey 2
BY RUTH TAYLOR

"Put" or "Pit"-which do you do?
The other day was typing, in a
hurry as usual, and when ! read over
what | had written, there it was
"pit" instead of put.
Unfortunately that is what impa-
tient people are too often doing. They
PIT their energies against suspected
opposition, wasting precious time and
strength, rather than PUT their ener-
gies to work to achieve their desired
ends. They strive so hard in fighting
off attacks, both real and immagin-
airy, that they never drive ahead.
/ do not mean that we should fol-
low the line of least resistance, that
we should compromise or accept as
perfect, half-measures. No indeed!
Compromises usually leave both sides
discontented and please no one. We
should struggle hard to establish the
things in which we believe, but we
should do it positively by working,
rather than negatively by fighting.
We should PUT all our efforts into
constructive work, into labor which
will build up upon firm basis and
we should not spend our strength by
PITTING it against forces that are
too often created out of our own minds
or by our own prejudices. Half the
troubles we dread never happen. Half
the opposition we deplore exists only
in our own thinking.
"Put" is constructive-it is motion
forward. "Pit" is negative-it is plac-
ing against. "Put" is productive-it is
action ahead. "Pit" is static-it is only
opposition. What we need is lot more
putting forth and lot less pitting
against.
Put it together-and put it across!
Put the facts, not the fancies, to-
gether, fitting them in logically and
harmoniously, not letting them just
out into thin air. Put your energies
to constructive use, working with your
fellow laborers in the vineyard. Don't
pit your strength in senseless com
petition, hoping to beat some one
else, trying to get things for your
own group and not for all the people.
Put it together and put it across.
Don't waste time arguing but see
through whatever you start to do.
Argument is good when the plans are
under consideration and we have yet
to determine what we shall do-but
when the plans are laid, we should not
PIT ourselves against the will of the
majority. We should work together
to PUT it across.
Put or pit-which do you do?

ITU Secretary
Dies Suddenly

Indianapolis, Ind. = (FP). = Sec
Treas. Jack Gill of the Intl. Typo

heart attack at the age of 81.
A special election to fill his un-

veto and compulsion. Take it or leave
it-for that is how it is.
4 decade and more ago the soal
boxes used to tell US that the day:
| of laissez faire were over. Well may
be we're now about to bury them. Who
knows?
Whatever the present outcome, the
issue was bound to rise.
1t is phase of the long, long con.
test between people and power.
Whether the method of procedure
proposed by President Truman is the
J right one is another matter.
But one thing is fairly certain You
cannot intrude the power of the people
to curb the operations Of one kind OF
power without risking the same kind
of intrusion to curb-or at least to
inspect-other types of power.
Labor, too, is power. And there
should be pause to consider whether
people will also press demand foT
closer inspection and perhaps more
regulation of the power that is or
ganized labor.
True, labor is not formed into cor
porations, nor should it ever be- But
it is power and as such it already in
vtes the hostile attention of certain
political forces, some of which are
looking for fame, some of which just
don't like labor and some of which
are honestly convinced that labor has
to much unrestrained power. Surely
there is here at least food for thought.
Of course there is, in the long run,
one sure thing. The people, in the
mass, will find way to see to it
that there is protection from unfair
incursion. But along the road the
people may inflict injustice. Majorities
are sometimes bitter, unrelenting and
brutal, temporarily.
Well, we are at great and critical
point in our economic development,
just as we are in our political and
international development.
We shall arrive at some interesting
places, often over very rough roads.
Our progress will be helped if we
can leave passion and prejudice behind
and try, as best we can, to anchor our
selves to established truths and philo
sophes.
They are the only reliable mile
posts along the road we now travel.
Red lenses in glasses of anger dis
tort facts and intentions and becloud
PHILOSOPHERS. We cannot afford them.
Let US, therefore, strive to go for
ward in honesty, dedicated to regard
fairly the rights, the liberties and the
progress of the people of this ma
tion.-CMW.

There's basic question involved in
the General MotorsCIO dispute over
examining Of the corporations books.
It's a dispute also between GIN and
the President.
How private is the business of a
corporation-and how public?
If corporate books are thrown open
to fact-finders we shall unquestion-
ably have taken a long, long step
further toward state control of busi-
ness.
But here's thought that seems to
have been overlooked as an argument
for publicity of corporate finances:
Corporations are creatures of the
state. By virtue of incorporation cer-
tain projections and rights are con-
ferred by the state Certain immuni-
ties are granted to the individuals in
the corporation.
The corporation-an impersonal but
legal entity-takes the risks of suits
and defaults off the shoulders of the
individuals and puts them on the
shoulders of the corporation, which
can feel no pain and which cannot go
to Jail.
By reason of the protection given
by the state, it can be argued that
the state has a stake in the business
and certain rights to peer into it's af-
fairs.
Now many years ago the state. be-
gan to put curbs on corporations, on
that very ground. 1t put curbs on
stock selling, for example. And it
grabbed deep for what we call excess
profits
Thus, because the state gives GER
tain projections and immunities, it
has certain moral obligations to see
that, at least in some ways, there is
honesty and fairness in stock transac-
tions.
The line runs straight on to a
complete knowledge of the books, IF
the state wants to follow the line.
But undeniably that line also runs
toward further power for the state
and that power is a combination of

Power Company
Announces New
Volt Test Line

Mr.. Philip Sporn, Executive Vice
President and Chief Engineer of the
American Gas and Electric Service
| Corporation, the company that pro-
vides engineering and othe services to
the Ohio Power Company, has just
announced that his company, in CO.
operation with the Ohio Power Com
pany, has begun a comprehensive in
vestigation of the problems attendant
upon transmitting large quantities of
power at voltages higher than have
ever been employed commercially. 1t
is contemplated that the investigation
will extend over period of two years
from the date of installation of the
elaborate test equipment that is neces
sary and that the tests may bring
about far-reaching improvements with
resulting economies in the transmits
sion Of electricity over long distances.
In describing this program in which
his company is cooperating, Mr.. r. t.
Couch, Division Manager of the Ohio
Power Company, stated that the over
all objective of the tests is to develop
means to transmit larger quantities
of electrical power over longer dis
tances than have ever before been
practical. ELECTRICITY" said Mr..
Couch, "has never been transmitted
in quantity at voltages in excess of
287,000 volts. We propose to expert
ment with votages up to 100000
volts. Our engineers inform me that
in order to do this, it is necessary to
explore certain electrical phenomena
beyond present engineering knowl-
edge.
In conducting these tests, the Amer
ican Gas and Electric Service Corpor
alton plans to erect two 3-phase pow
er lines adjacent to its new Tidd gen
Grating stations at Brilliant, Ohio.
This program is not laboratory test
in miniature. 1t will be made under
actual operating conditions with full
size equipment. Two complete trans
mission lines, each of them extending |
for 5000 feet, are to be installed and
equipped with all elements of appara
tus for transformation of voltages, in
sulation, switching and lightning pro-
lection, as well as elaborate instru-
ments for recording the test data.
Much of the equipment will be of en-
tirely new design that today is only
on the engineers drafting boards. The
length of time devoted to the tests
will enable the staff of engineers
the investigation to OBJ
serve the operation under all kinds of
weather conditions.
