Labor Unions To Open Incorporated Store

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - (FP) - A union-incorporated grocery store to bring food at cost to 5000 to 5000 families will be opened here by two AFL unions.
 The enterprise, sponsored by the United Aluminium Tin & Foil Work CTS and the Metal Polishers Int1. Union, will not be run as a cooperative but as an incorporated store subject to taxes. It was hoped this would save it from the fate of Lexington, Ky, co-op., which folded because wholesalers refused to do business with it.

Calling Elm Straight =
By Ed Hughes

When the Army punishes a per son, frequently its only mentioned reason is ''for the good of the ser- vice." Wonder it didn't offer that to NOtre Dame to cover the present football break between them. It's SO official and inscrutable, you know.
 Guesses at the cause of the un- coupling differ The ND-Army game ''got out of hand" An almost steady diet of defeat bent Army morale, etc. My own pass at it is that twas Notre Dame's brand of football. It was too good, and consistently too good.
 The idea that football defeats can impair the morale of a West Point cadet is absurd. Football, as such, should be no more impOr- tant than tennis or chess combats. Perhaps not as important as chess, for that matter, since that game involves deeper strategy than foot ball.
 ND and WP's glorious football series endured 34 years. Why did it bust up? My hunch is that some one at the Point suddenly felt the cadets were over matched. Partic- ularly, as the Points yearly flow of fresh grid material is severely limited.
 BUILT TO WELL?
 Chiefly, too, because ND appears to have built too well in a football way. So much so that many unin- formed folk think of Notre Dame as a football university" I've heard wisecrackers say, "Wutta they teach beside football at South Bend?" The answer is that ND is one of the finest universities in America.
 It is true, though, that Notre Dame is too good at football. ND attracts heavier supply of winning pigskin material, possibly, than any other school in the land, and the recruits aren't always Catholics. either.
 Question arises, "Why doesn't ND de-emphasize football as Father Gan non has done at Fordham, a whilon power football inStitution?" Answer is that winning football is a ND po- Hey.
 ND TOPS SINCE ROCKNE
 Notre Dame has never de-empha- sized winning football since the South Blenders first attracted attention by unexpectedly Walloping Army in 1913. ND then was nationally unheard of as footballers. A young guy named Knute Rockne caught the forward passes that licked the soldiers. That was the birth of prestige football at Notre Dame.
 ND's itch to acquire grid power in no way differs from that of other big time football colleges. The na- tiOnal hysteria over the sport is largely to blame.
 Thus, no big time football college can afford to point a pious finger at ND's wonder teams. The Irish sim ply excel in what the others are busy at, which is putting together man. eating team.

AS WE SEE IT

The people of Scheidam, Hol- land, are proudly wearing clothing sent them by the AFL teamsters of Seattle. The unionists are equally proudly displaying letters of thanks from their friends across the sea.
 Bus. Rep. P. J. Boegem of Local 566, Intl. Bro. of Teamsters, was president of the Holland Relief Committee which staged special collections of warm clothing among AFL workers here for the Dutch people whose possessions were footed by the Nazis. Among those sending letters of thanks was l.. Veenstra, who was one of the l6 Dutch delegates to the IntI. Labor Office convention in Seattle in May l946.

broken left ankle, but it is cheering
to get lot of birthday cards. That's
what happened to Treva Everett
whose birthday was Tuesday-last
Saturday she fell downstairs at the
home of her parents Mr.. and Mrs.
John Everett of Route 2. But her
friends at the Boss Glove factory
where she is employed remembered
her with a big shower of greeting
cards.
And speaking of the Boss Glove
factory, Charlie Lloyd, manager of
the Bluffton plant is one of the
company's faithful eldtimers. He
has been in the employ of the Boss
organization for 80 years, the last
27 of which were spent here. That's
an employment record to be mighty
proud of and Charlie is on the job
morning, noon and night at the plant
on North Main street which employs
55 people seeing that production and
quality are maintained up to Boss
standards.

LANCER Unil
Clearance for Probe
OF Posimasfersllips
!, kvthe Assoc;cted Press

Senator LANCER, Republican, OF
North Dakota asked the Senate
Rules Committee today to give clear
ance for a proposed $35, 900 invesh-
cation Of postmaster appointments
by the Democrats since 1888.
Senator Ianger, chairman of the
Civil Service Committee, was blocked
by Democratic objection when he
tried to get Senate approval yester-
day without complying with this
forinality.
Senator Hayden, Democrat, OF
Arizona protested that the proposed
inquiry is a "purely political inyesti-
CATION" which is delaying 639 Of
President Truman's postmaster
nominations, including those Of $50
war veterans.
Senator Hayden said he could tell
any one why so few Republicans had
been appointed postmaster during
the last IA years by Democratic
Presidents.
Points to G. o. r. Practice.
"It's the same reason that so few
Democrats were named postmasters
under Republican President" he ex-
planned with broad grin.
Senator Hayden said it would be
"a simple matter" to check all ap-
pointments by merely calling for
civil service records. But Senator
LANCER, he complained, wants to
hire chief counsel at $4,000 a
year; a chief investigator at $7,628;
three investigators at $5,695 each,
Evening star., 1947-04-09

and four assistant investigators at
#$5,Il6 each.
senator Hayden said postmaster
appointments were regarded as
straight patronage plums until
President Wilson, Democrat,
placed them under civil service in
1917. The Arizonan explained:
President Wilson grew tired OF
the postmaster controversies" after
his first term and ordered that
candidates take civil service exami-
nations with the person ranking
highest as winner. Members OF
Congress or party leaders were not
consulted.
Revised by Harding.
President Harding revised this so
appointments might 60 to one OF the
three highest ranking in exams.
Presidents Coolidge and Hoover con-
tinued this.
President Roosevelt tried to re-
turn to the Wilson system Of 1885
but Congress by law reinstalled the
top three rule In 1898.
"I doubt very much whether it
will require $35, 900 to ascertain in
those few cases just what ought to
be DONE" Senator Hayden said.

Just before closing, a large
