T., P. X w. Railroad President Slain

PEORIA, III. (P) - George P. McNear, Jr., president of the To- ledo, Peoria and Western railroad and central figure of a bloody dis put with railroad unions for more than five years, was shot to death last night while taking a walk near his home.
 The 55-year-old executive, who since l941 had defied 13 railroad brotherhoods which currently are engaged in one of the nations longest major strikes against his line, was shot down by a shotgun blast about 400 feet from his home in the fashionable central bluff residential district.
 Three witnesses said they saw an automobile speeding away after the shot was fired. However, po- lice lieutenant Frank I. Slood declared q don't see how McNear could have been shot from an au- tomobile." He said two other wit nesses in position to see the street down which the car would have sped did not see an automo- bile. No one could be found who saw the shot fired.

Hoover Advocates Loan To Austria

WASHINGTON (P)-The ques- tion of whether Congress wants long or short range foreign relief program was raised today by a re- port from Herbert Hoover urging that $l55, 5,000,0O0 be spent in Aus tria during the next Is months.
 The former President said relief in Austria must continue at least until July 1, 1948, and 1T have felt it better to face the fact now" rather than propose renewed ap- propriations later"
 But Rep. Bloom D.-N.Y0, top Democrat of the House foreign re- lations committee told reporter he believes the group will prefer to take new look at foreign relief later "and make a supplemental appropriation then if necessary"
 Hoover explained in his report to President Truman his proposal would provide Austria with less aid than a United Nations program contemplates but said he has in mind world supplies and the drains upon the American tax payer"

WEATHER WISHING

You take the weather as it comes?
You are not concerned in the least by the
type of weather each succeeding day
brings?
If you answer those questions con-
scientiously in the affirmative, then you
are fortunate man.
DR.. Samuel johnson said that the
weather did not concern him, that he took
it in his stride, yet, through Boswell, we
hear him complaining about an abnormal
ly cool summer in England. He yearned
for sunshine, but day after day gave him
chilly rainfall.
So it is that residents of Key West have
been complaining recently about the al
most daily showers. While it is true that
the complaints in most instances are based
on the rainy weather interfering with bust
ness or pleasure, yet human nature is such
that it tires of too much weather of the
same type.
We have heard complaints about long
summer days. without fleck of cloud in
the sky, when they occur continuously for
several weeks, and now we are wishing
that the rain would let up for awhile. We
may wish but, as Mark Twain remarked,
nobody can do anything about the weather
You may be one of many Key Westers
who wish for summer when we get too
many successive chilly days, and wish for
the chilly days when we get too many
successive warm days We yearn for WIN
ter when summer becomes too warm, and
we yearn for summer when winter be-
comes too chilly.
That attitude in Key West is not as pro-
nounced as it is in those parts of the coun-
try that have long stretches of cold wealth
err. People there look forward to the com
ing of summer, but their ardor for it dies
when the mercury mounts to 100 degrees
or SO, something that does not occur in
Key West. Our range of temperature is
the most equitable in the United States.

FOR IMPROVED TEACHING

Leading educators are beginning to
give attention to methods to improve
teaching in public schools and to persuade
high quality of young people to- take up
teaching as a profession. >.
AT a recent meeting. held at Miami
University, in Ohio, there was general
recognition that salary adjustments, voted
in nearly every part of the nation, have
presented professional educators w t h
another problem: To build up the quality
of teaching to be made available to pupils
everywhere.
This is undoubtedly an important mat
ter and one which deserves the closest
study of teachers generally. While the
public recognizes that the men and women
who make up our teaching staffs have
been underpaid, and some amends h ave
been made, the average American recog-
nizes the imperative need of securing the
most intelligent teachers for the proper
instruction of their children.

EMPLOYMENT MIRACLE

The number of civilians employed in
the United States in Juns was -da,o55, 600.
This in the highest employment ever
reached in the history of this country,
surprising even the war years. 1t does not
include 1885, ZOO Americans in the armed
forces. If these are added, the total num-
Der working for pay or profit was 61,-
$4,000.
This is an interesting fact, especially
when we consider the discussion in 1916
as to the possible number of jobs that
would be available after the war Presi-
dent Roosevelt insisted upon full employ
Ttent and said that this meant 6O,OO0,OOO
postwar jobs. This view was vigorously
challenged with some experts calling it
an unreasonably high level and asserting
hat no more than $4,000, 900 and possibly
only 55,000,000 persons would want to
work in peace-time.
II was suggested, in 1945, that Presi-
rtcnt Truman, who had taken office, would
nave to take steps to create 100000 jobs
: II he expected to reach the 6O,OOO,OOO Job
. level. In addition, the Secretary of Com
, merce, Henry A. Wallace, suggested that
; the government should take prompt action
: whenever the number of available Jobs
: Tell below 100000. AS usual, Mr.. Wal
> lace was denounced as visionary, as i'm
practical and something of radical.
: The estimte of many business men and
= economists was that the total number of
: jobs, available in the immediate years af-
ter the war, would be 54,76O,O0O and
. this figure included an estimated $780,

WHERE ARE THE SAUCERS?

Expert SCIENTISTS express the belief
that the amazing number of reports about
flying discs have been based entirely
upon visual delusons of some sort.
The mysterious flying saucers have
dropped somewhat from the news but the
fact that hundreds of individuals believe
that they saw something in the sky gives
us another puzzle.
We are quite sure that most of the
people who reported flying saucers actual
ly were convinced that they saw something
In the atmosphere. How to explain the
phenomena is matter for psychologists.
but there was time when many intel,i-
gent people saw ghosts and witches.
