s. a bushel here Saturday. But
there was none for sale. Farmers who
have abandoned plans to put out oats
this spring, because of lateness of
the season are now earmarking the
surplus acreage for corn and soys,
with the latter crop favored because
it can be planted up until June
which increases the demand for soy
beans and consequently raises the
price.
The Main and Cherry street inter
section has been the scene Of several
near-accidents since the traffic light
is out of commission. Because of the
hazard involved the light should be
put IN operation as soon as possible
meanwhile traffic coming into
Main from Cherry and Church
streets should observe extra precau-
tions.
High school band uniforms-in
bright reds, light blues and dazzling
greens with more gold braid than an
admiral of the fleet paraded Bluff
tons streets last Saturday. It was
gala affair when youths from a
score of Northwestern Ohio high
schools were here for the music con-
test. And be it said to the credit of
the crowds that it was well-behaved
orderly lot of young people who
thronged Bluffton's eating places and
consumed untold quantities of ice
cream, chocolate bars, sodas and can
dy.
Because people lock their safes and
forget the combination, Homer Bad
ertscher out in San Francisco is a
busy man and incidentally is building
up reputation as an expert lock-
smith. Homer, former Bluffton boy
and son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Bad
ertscher of South Lawn avenue learn
ed the locksmith's trade some six
years ago in San Francisco and now
is called thruout the city to open
safes. The average safe, he finds, is
not too difficult to open but the
number of qualified locksmiths are
few. Besides this he makes replace
ments for lost keys and repairs locks.
Inspiring-the fact that it happens
every spring makes it none the less
so-we refer to the leafing of the
big elm tree in the Presbyterian
church yard across from the Bluff
ton News office. How old it is, no
one knows, but it has stood probably
for well over a century thru good
times and bad, calm and serene thru
war and peace-unchanged in a tur-
bulent and restless world.

when private industry is willing to offer
them far more than they receive in the
Government service.
President Truman has called this serious
situation to the attention Of Congress on
numerous occasions. So have the Civil
Service Commission and the heads Of most
of the departments. But Congress has
baked at raising the salary ceiling. Mean
while living costs have risen and the
already unsatisfactory condition has be-
come more serious. It is more than ever
necessary that something be done to en-
courage these specialists to continue with
the Government and to encourage other
technical and professional men to apply
for Federal employment. This is matter
which Congress cannot ignore much longer
without seriously affecting the efficiency
Of the Government.

This and That
BIZ Charles E. Traceuell


That great nature lover, Templeton Jones,
was astonished when the baby squirrel leaped
off the tree and came directly to his feet.
He was even more amazed when the small
thing started to climb up his trouser leg.
1t was no wonder that Jones was slightly
taken aback, for during the 18 years he had
lived in his suburban community this was the
first bushy tailed rodent to mistake him for
tree.
"Here-where are you going?" he asked the
young squirrel.
HE likes you," smiled Mrs. Jones from the
sidelines.
I'm afraid he will bite me-" said Templeton.
HE has no teeth" said Mrs. Jones'
"They look like teeth to me-" retorted Tenn
pleton Jones. pointing with his finger.
The squirrel nipped the finger end
"Ouch!" roared Jones.

The young squirrel had marvelously fluffy

Evidently in some way, he had got to the
ground days ahead Of schedule.
Try as one might, he could find no sign of
any other squirrel.
Usually the mother squirrel is right on the
job, in all such cases, chattering away
Given half chance, she will retrieve the
fallen one bodily carrying it back to the nest,
If necessary
In this case, there was no nest, no helpful
mother
The young one must have walked across yards
until it found Templeton Jones.

That thoughtful gentleman stood there hold
ing the bushy-tailed one.
What was he to do with 1t?
Raising q squirrel by hand is not such
task but at times 1t becomes impossible.
This was one time in the life Of T. Jones
when taking on a rodent to raise was not to be
thought Of.
Still, it could not be abandoned. Here it was,
trusting and innocent, the first Of all squirrels
to come squarely up to Jones.
In the past he had tried to intrigue countless
dozens of them with peanuts held in hand.
Not squirrel had sl,ccumbed to his blandish-
ments.

could lure them nearer, but then came the
thought of those needle-sharp teeth.
Templeton Jones also was impatient. He
expected things to be done in a second to use
Mrs. Jones' phraseology.
That rascal was taking milk from a medicine
dropper and getting quite angry every time the
supply ran dry.
Then Jones thought of Donnie, young man
across the street.
Donnle loomeo up as ugnC IN the Wilder
ness, sort of.
Donnie would like this squirrel, I'll bet," he
said
"I imagine he would" agreed Mrs. Jones.
Accordingly, the squirrel, still taking his milk
from the dropper, was carried over across the
way.
It was love at first sight.
Gee" said Donnie. cuddling the squirrel
"And tomorrow is my birthday. Gee, this is the
best present I'll get"
"Gee," said Templeton Jones.

Raising the Salary Ceiling

When President Truman cites the need
for modernization of the Federal salary
schedule, he undoubtedly has in mind
particularly the very outmoded pay scale
for scientific, professional and admins
trative personnel in the Government.
Under the existing scale, these important
employees are limited to $9,S75 with certain
exceptions authorized by Congress in the
case of few heads of agencies and similar
employees. This ceiling on salaries has
proved to be ceiling on morale and ini-
tiative as well. More than that, 1t has
caused the loss to the Government Of some
of it, more valuable scientists and other
speeialists - men whom 1t s extremely
difficult to replace. These men cannot be
ezpected 10 hang onto their Federal Jobs

Too Little Time

Taken by itself, there Is complete COM
mon sense in Senator Byrd's demand for
a careful stop-and-think accounting Of
our past aid abroad and the additional
aid now being contemplated. There IS
complete common sense, too, in his COM
plant that "for nearly fourteen years we
have legislated in an atmosphere of
emergencies and crises making proper
consideration of vital matters impossible" I"
Above all, he Is on absolutely sound ground
in implicitly warning the administration
that 1t will have to present hard and
impressive facts to convince Congress and
the American people that the Marshall
proposal for European recovery is essential
to the security and economic well-being
of the Nation.
With these things said however, 1t must
be added that the terrible rush of events
in our harried world has played hob-and
continues to play hob-with the highly
sensible and desirable idea of acting on
problems only after the most careful
deliberation and the fullest possible study
and debate. For the truth is that delibera-
ton, study and debate require time and
that there are certain situations in which
there is simply not enough time for them.
Emergencies-sucha as the desperate short
age of food and fuel reported from abroad
cannot wait for thorough analysis Of
their nature and an unhurried considera-
tion, pro and con, Of what needs to be
done to meet them. They demand quick
decisions, and even If hindsight proves
some of those decisions to be less than
perfect, they certainly are better than
no decisions at all.
This is not to say that Senator Byrd's
counsel Is pointless, or that the Govern
ment should not try to follow it as much
as possible It Is merely to say that we are
living in an age harassed by such a multi
plicity of complex and urgent problems
that improvised and hasty action is often
inescapable. In earlier generations, when
the world was relatively big, quiet and
slow-paced place, when national eco
Monies were less interdependent when the
the machine age was in its infancy, when
whole continents were not seething with
political and social unrest, and when the
clash Of ideologies was much milder than
now, governments-particularly our own
could deal with international matters in q
leisurely way. But in our own era-notably
since the early 193os-the demands on
legislators and administrators alike have
become almost inhuman. As Secretary
Marshall has observed, there are not
nearly enough hours in the day for states
men to give proper consideration to all
the things crying aloud for prompt atten-
ton. Literally, there is too much to do,
too many decisions to be made in a
hurry, and altogether too little time for
any executive oficer or member Of Con-

A Test Needed Quickly

Every effort should and undoubtedly will
be made by the Labor Relations Board to
expedite the test of the law initiated by the
AFL's International Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers.
This union has compiled with the labor
law. It's officers have all signed the anti
Communist af1idavit. But it is denied the
labor boards services because the members
of the AFL's Executive Council were pre-
vented by John L. Lewis from unanimous
action in signing the af1davits. Unanim-
ity, of course, was necessary.
The test sought by the electrical workers
union involves two important questions:
CD Whether the Labor Board has the au-
thority, under the law, to overrule an in
depreciation of the law by its general
counsel, Robert N. Denham; and, (O
whether, If 1t has that authority, it will
choose to exercise 1t by overruling Mr..
Denham.
The law says that each officer of such
labor organization (seeking labor board
recognition) and the officers Of any ma
tional or international labor organization
OF which it Is an af11liate or constituent
unit" must sign the afidavit. Mr.. Denham's
Interpretation was that until each officer
Of the AFL and the C1O signs, no atfiliate
or constituent unit of either union can
receive the boards services.
He may be correct. Mr.. Lewis admits
that under the law Mr.. Denham may be
precisely" correct. But it is reasonable to
believe that Congress never anticipated the
curious result of this Interpretation, under
which one man-the same Mr.. Lewis-is
given the power to block any and every
AFL's union right to the laws protective
features, Of which there are many.
There is no doubt that Congress wanted
to get the Communists out of the labor
movements leadership. Both the original
House and Senate bills contained sections
disqualifying labor unions any of whose
officers were Communists. But these sec
tions placed the burden of proving them
to be Communists on the Labor Board.
That, said Senator Taft in debate on the
final bill, would have meant infinite de-
lay" In conference the afidavit require
ment was substituted and Senator Taft
thought this would obviate all delay,
unless an officer of the moving union
refuses to file the affidavit required"
Congress presumably was thinking OF the
national and international unions. It is
doubtful that 1t had in mind the situation
under which one vice president of the
AFL's Executive Council could block, by
deliberate recalcitrance ION principle, :"
access to the board by every AFL affiliate
That may be, as Mr.. Denham contends,
what the law says. But its Qualification
now is essential. And If the Labor Board
itself is unable or unwilling to review the
Denham ruling, such review by Congress
itself is necessary.
