tice But before the appointment could be announced, other Roose- welt advisers convinced him that Stones elevation to the Chief Jus ticeship was imperative. They ar gued that because of Jackson's S youth and Stones long service on the court, he could not be passed over.
 Finally Roosevelt called in Jack son, explained the situation and asked him to stand aside until the next Chief Justiceship vacancy.
 Jackson, according to hls friends, banked heavily on this promise. So much so that when Roosevelt plan ned to make him an Associated Justice, he inquired whether ac- ceptance of the Associate Justice ship would interfere with his ap- pcintment later as Chief Justice.
 Only after receiving assurances that it would not did Jackson be- come an Associate Justice
 In other words, the last eight years of Jackson's life had been aimed at this one goal. So when President Truman, not bound by

to the exploit After all can't escape certain shocked admiration for the nerve displayed in pur- Joining gems worth a cool million and half dollars The very magnitude of the cache discovered beneath the basement floor the old schloSs, the ease With which it was appropriated, and the fact that the victim Princess Margareta of Hesse, was sister of Kaiser Wilhelm and presumably therefore no better than she should be-these circumstances added up, no doubt to an uncomfortable temptation for the thieves.
 Unhappily temptation of this sort commonly be- falls members of conquerng army, although rarely in the form of kings ransom in crown Jewels. IL is so easy to get away with things, the moral in hibitons which operate under normal circumstances are so likely to be lethargic property rights seem so trivial in the midst general devastation that takes
 stern conscience indeed to remain upon the straight and narrow path. A CT in Germany today can get Is dollars worth of Reichsmarks for the package of American cigarettes that cost him but few cents at the post exchange Moralsts should scarcely be ason
 shed, then to find him dabbling in the black market A good many favors feminine among them, be commanded by a couple of chocolate bars few cakes of soap Small wonder that great many of the conquerors succumb to abuse of the enormous power in their hands.
 The power is abused more often perhaps in ways that are altogether egain the requisoning of houses in the hiring of servants, 1n the mere enjoyment of luxury where human Wretchedness abounds It is a power which inevitably carries cor rlption in it's womb And those who abuse it to be pited as well as condemned For they are respond ing to forces which it unrealistc to expect all of them to resist; and they become in a real sense victims of the very circumstances into which a high sense of duty has thrust them. This is one of the ncalcuable costs of victory and occupation-a cost which we shall certainly pay increasingly we full fill our role conquerors and which is none the less heavy for its imponderability

POLITICAL STATISTICS

In its Business Bulletin the Cleveland Trust Com pany takes up the question of the possible abuse of Federal statistics Recently strong pressure has been brought to bear by labor groups to prevent the nom ination as Commissioner of Labor Statistics of Dr. A. Ford Hinrichs who has been Acting Commissioner for nearly six years. His office has for many years compiled the monthly figures showing changes in the cost of living The of organized labor against him is that refused to change the official figures so as to support the claims of the unions that they must have wage increases because the cost of living had advanced more rapidly than industrial pay. The Bue- tin declares that nothing will more quickly and eff fectvely destroy the pubc's confidence in the Gov ernment's fact-findng agencies than the suspicion that their reported statistics shaped by politics.
 Cyncs among economists and statisticians have long held in doubt and distrust the methods by which parity prices for farm products computed but they have been able, according to the Bulletin, to secure full disclosure of the facts in that matter Now there is danger that the area of pressure group political statistics will be enlarged to include more departments and agencies
 It is obvious that political manipulation of Gov ernment figures anywhere tends to throw doubt on all Government figures. Only if all Government statistics handled with complete imparallty will they retain their value and their prestige.

HEART AND HOME

HEART AND HOME
 This is an suspicious day for out door activities where the weather permits. Under this configuration, family differences and disputes may be resolved with little effort.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Caution is counseled in the con- duct of small enterprises. The handmaiden of progress is patience, Haste and recklessness in times like the present may lead to disaster.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Critics of measures to restrict the use of grain alcoholic beverages presently will te found to have made a notable contribution to the cause of those who would again impose prohibition on this nation. To argue that the need of whiskey and beer is greater than the need of food for millions faced with the threat of starvation is to insult the intelligence and profane the humane instincts of every man and woman in the country.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Yugoslavia may find herself in the international limelight in the near future Charges of activities opposed to world peace probably will be heard.
 Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by tke stars: A year of fascinating and profitable activ- ity which will produce many new and unexpected problems of a min or nature They may be confident of spiritual, as well as material, gains.
 Children born today will be pre- cocious and tempermental. Even in their early years they will re- veal exceptional talents.

Veterans and Seniority
(New York Times

(New York Times
 In a six-to-one decision the Supreme Court has settled the troublesome question Of super seniority for veterans returning to pre-war jobs. The Court rules that Congress conferred right to seniority beyond that held by the veteran at the time of his induction and that consequently he is not entitled to displace non-veteran of higher seniority.
 The question was raised in interpretation of the Act handed down by Seective Service in 1914 and subsequently, broadened The Director General de- cared that the law required the reinstatement of veteran to his former like position, even though this necesstated the discharge of nonveteran with greater seniority. The unions contested this inter- pretaion the ground that it unfair to workers engaged in production and an interference in col lective bargaining agreements The Court decides that the veteran can step the seniority escaator only where he stepped off He loses ground he returns without loss of seniority to his old position posi- ton of like seniority"
 The matter could not have been left hanging in the air for it would have been prolific source of industrial disputes.

BEST BUREAUCRATS EXIT

Two recent resignations of two top officials illustrate how diffi- cult it is to get good men to re- main in Government on current salaries. They are: Budget Director Harold Smith and Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Ganson Purcell.
 Both were among the best bu- reaucratS in Government, both had devoted years to public service both resigned because they could not afford to raise families on Government salaries.
 Budget Director Sm.th, Repub- lican from Kansas, was brought to Washington by Justice Frank Mur- phy when he became Attorney General Smith tried to eke out his Government salary by running a farm in nearby Virginia. Week. ends, he worked day and night on

up their minds regarding the rela- tive merits of the Army and Navy damage inflicted on Japan, and here is how they summarize the situation:
 l. Heaviest damage to Japan was inflicted by U. s. submarines. Though they didn't get the publi- city build-up of the B-29s U. s. subs had just about shut off all Jap supplies from the main islands toward the end of the war and Japan was paralyzed. Shortly be- fore Japan surrendered she lacked enough gasoline for her planes to get off the ground or oil for her Navy to put out to sea.
 2. Next greatest damage was done by long~range Army land- based planes.
 3. The Navy's carrier-b d planes were important, but ranked second to the B-29s.
 Civilian experts, who have no axes to grind for either the Army or Navy, say lot more air dam age could have been done if there hadn't been personal jealousy be- tween General Macarthur and General Arnold
 They explain that this was why General Arnold did not place the 2Cth Air Force under Macarthur but under the Joint Chiefs of Staff Based on China, this unit had as its target the main Japanese Islands But since it required three flights of gasoline over the Himal- ava Hump to fuel one piane-flighl to Japan, the bombing raids from China to Japan were ineffective compared with the less spectacular work of the 14th Air Force under General Chennault which bombed Jap shipping off the China coast.
 Conclusion of civilian bombing experts is that if the 20th Air Fore had bombed Jap shipping instead of taking gasoline away from Chen snault's 14th Air Force which wa supplemerting U. s. submarines the war might have been wol quicker
 It was not until the B-29s wer based on the Marianas, experts re port, that long-range land-base' planes did much damage to Japan

 This is an suspicious date for beginning tasks which require pro- lcnged effort and unusual concen- tration. Young girls ars under friendly stars.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 If public sentiment is no longer so warmly disposed toward labor as it was a short time ago, neither is it toward management. The pub lic-the millions not directly in volved in labor management dis putes-asks only that the interests of the majority be served. The responsibility is as great on one side as on the other.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Again demands will be heard that some effective measure be found to restrict the possession as well as the use of firearms. A national Sullivan Law (New York may be the most satisfactory solution of the problem.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS There are no signs to indicate that efforts to draw Stalin to Washington for another Big Three meeting will te successful, but an early surprising move in Russia is foreseen and it may develop that this is it.

The numbers Of Negro miners
who have left the coal pits along
with other members Of the United
Mine Workers Of America because
they consider their contract ter
minated, could not be aseertained
here last Friday.
The office Of Thomas Kennedy,
seeretary-treasurer Of the UNIV,
said that no racial breakdown Of
the membership Of the union was
kept.
II have been here for twenty
five years and during that time
we have never made such q break
down." said Miss Esther Cossell,
Kennedy's secretary. "Lf you have
visited our conventions" she told Q
reporter, you have noticed that
some Of the delegates are white
and some are eolored." She added
that This does not necessarily
mean that a colored delegate Is rep
resenting colored mine workers.
Our unions are mixed and II a
colored man is the most popular IN
his local, he is elected as a dele
gate to the convention.
There have never been published
figures on the numbers Of our col
ored workers, but, II SO, they were
unofficial and purely guesses."

o'Sullivan issued a statement
Thursday from Sacramento that

General 0'Sullivan said, with the
inference that II is the kind Of
national guard participation Ne
groes want and added It would
be known as the Sixth engineer

be at full strength for two years.
That's q conservative esti-
mate, according to Bratt0n. II
he and his committee Of leaders
have any influence on the COM
munity, Il will never reach full
strength because il IL exactly

Of Army authorities.
