other workers. No employer be required to o2l with any union bargaining agent for supervisors who exercise managerial authority. Efforts by MT. Lewis to take mine foremen into his union large y responsible for this provision of the law.
 The National Labor Relations Board is dismiss sing all petitions by unions for certifcaton agents for foremen Since the new law passed, the Ford Motor Co., has withdrawn bargaining rights from an independent union which, since 1914 has represented several thousand of its foremen.
 There sound reasons, think why the govern ment should not compel employers to deal with fore mems unions. And, if Mr. Lewis had succeeded in get ting mine foremen into the union with the rank and-file workers they supposed to supervise, it to there would have been intolerable sit uation of divided loyalty.
 But well understand why many foremen have felt that they needed the protection of organza tion, especially in the great s-producton indus tres In far too many they haven't really been treated part of management they haven't had much actual authority and their pay has been little, if any, better than that of unionized rankand-file workers
 In all fairness and in self-interest believe it is up to industry to give it's foremen better break -to. .see that they have genuine managerial author
 y" and the recognition and rewards that go with it.
 Otherwise, this provision of the Taft-Hartley Act seems certain to result in discontent among foremen, more feeling that they victims of njus- tce and more trouble for employers.

Native Service Closing Out Schools
(Daily Alaska Empire)

(Daily Alaska Empire)
 THE ALASKA NATIVE SERVICE has sent notice to Dr. James C. Ryan, Territorial Commissioner of Ed ucaon that it is closing schools which it has been op erating at Fort Yukon, Haines, Juneau-Douglas, Ketchikan, Nome and Cordova
 The letter, signed by ANS Director of Education George A. Dale and approved by ANS General Super intendent Don C. Foster states that authority for the closure has from the Office of Indian Affairs to abandon all schools in cities and towns where Terrto rial schools exist postscript to the letter declares that the instructions for this action incorporated in the action of the Senate Appropriations Committee.
 Dale writes Ryan that, in each of the communities, with the exception of Nome ANS is prepared to make the buildings and equipment available to the Territory to the local school boards permit basis The Nome building excluded because it is in such un- satisfactory structural condition
 Ryan says he intends to contest the idea of use permit for the Fort Yukon building if the Territory does take the schools. He said this building was built by ANS as replacement for building destroy ed by fire after the Territory had turned it ANS Ryan declares the Fort Yukon building should be considered Territorial property without any at tached strings.
 The Territorial Education Commissioner states that he has informed the Board of Education of the action by the Native Service. He said that he does not know where he will find money to operate the schools be- of lack of funds in the Territorial Treasury and the limitations his work placed there by the Territorial Board of Administration
 Dale told Ryan, however, that ANS will open school at Saxman Ketchikan, which will accommodate some of the students affected by the ketchlkan closing He Sad that the school at Kama kanak will also be closed because attendance there has dropped below 10 students Dale expressed the hope that these children would be accommodated at the Dillingham; school.
 ANS will also discontinue furnishing teacher for native children at Bethel and Hoonah. The town of Hoonah has already received permit for the ANS school building there but only part of the Bethel fa clites will be made available ANS wants to keep the building for use of it's other personnel.
 Native Service schools at Sitka and Rake will also be discontinued by the order. The town of Sitka has already agreed provide school facilities for those formerly enrolled in the ANS school there. At Rake an independent school district recently formed to manage its own problems thereby relieving ANS of any responsibility there
 Dale says the schools affected will be cslosed in July and will not, of course be opened again in September

Fairness To FOrenlen
(Rocky Mountain NeWs)

(Rocky Mountain News) IN AT LEAST one respect John L. Lewis does seem to have bowed to the Taft-Hartley Act.
 He agreed that his union wouldn't try to organize mine foremen during the life of the softcoa contract recently signed.
 The new law doesn't forbid foremen to belong to unions. But under it, if they do belong to unions, they can't have the same protection the government gives

Clctlng considerable Dudget at the end of the fiscal year. This happens because more income from taxes is being realized than was expected. Moreover. Congress has succeeded in cutting down proposed expenditures great deal. Consequently, the reduction of four billion dollars in taxes could have been made and at the same time large payment on the national debt.
 Soaring Tax Load
 The total tax bill of the nation is now running just about one third Of the total amount of money earned by all the people of the na- ton. This means that one-third of the average income of the av- craze individual is going for taxes. It means that one-third of every mans income directly or indirectly goes back to the govern ment in taxes. This is danger ously high tax rate for peace time and if continued can be ruinous to the economy of this nation. In fact, no nation can be expected to prosper under that kind of tax load-not for very long.
 President Truman, in comment ing on the tax bill, said there was already sufficient cash available for necessary investment and business expansion" Ii should be remembered however, that Amer ica didn't become great by making only what the government con- sidered necessary investment and business expansion" The govern ment did not pronounce as "neces- sary" the development of our great western railways.
 Neither did government pro- nOunce necessary the develop ment of the great automobile in dustry. The government did not pronounce necessary the pro- duction of cheap automobile made possible by Henry Ford, General Motors and others who had similar dreams and who made great capital investments beyond what the government announced as necessary"
 No Brakes Needed
 From personal contact with in- dustrialists and financiers I am thoroughly convinced that new ventures are entirely too few. Much capital is being held back because of various discourage ments, including high taxes and uncertain industrial relations. Had these brakes been on during preceding generations they would have prevented the development: of the railroads, the automobile industry, the refrigeration indus try, and the airplane industry. Our nation would have been much poorer today and we would have been living on a lower income level.
 If we are going to have a pros porous economy ten years from now, taxes should be frightened immediately and industrial re'a- tions tremendously improved. We must look ahead to anticipate our needs. We can go along making necessary" investment and busi- ness expansion and move into poverty and mediocrity, slipping

I'm sorry" said Susan, and
meant it. Mind if l tell you
you're just about the SWEETEST
person I've ever knoWn?"
Nope. l don't mind. Sounds
sort of good when you say it.
Now suppose you get busy and
dump all that junk back in the
desk. I'll run up to Steve's office
and pick up that silly letter of
yours, and any other mail he
happens to have. I've got the sta
ton wagon outside, and we ought
to get started"
A few minutes later he came
back with Susan's letter of resig-
nation in one hand and several
business letters, addressed to
Steve. in the other. They made
quite a ceremony of destroying

Susan looked at him curiously,

Its a shame you aren't out at

in this two-by-four office. You
miss a lot of fun by being so i'm
pulsive, Susie"

conceal the note of regret in her
voice. 1T must be wonderful on

that he was just as angry as she
was. "But you didn't" she point
ed out. ''You wouldn't have

clear from Johns expression that
he was capable of doing that
very thing.
Besides, when l left, you were

Anyhow, you shouldn't have

This time she could not refrain
from asking just what was the

she told John. "All right, then.
