ware, acting chairman OF the
committee, favors changing the
terms to require say only 20 per
cent down payment and allowing
UP to two years in which to pap
off the balance.
Other senators favor keeping
the time-payment controls tight
until the supply of these scarce
items catches up with demand.
Their point is that to take off
the controls now would merely in
crease the demand and SO shoot
up the prices still further.
Still other senators feel that all
restrictions should come off.
Their argument is that restric-
tons on installlnen+ buying work
a hardship on poor people. 1t
would do your heart good to know
how they worry about the poor.
They say rich folks with plenty
of money in their pockets to pay
cash for whatever they want get
all the breaks under Regulation
w.
The way it works out these cash
customers grab off all the new
cars. or vacuum cleaners as fast
as they come on the market. But
families Of limited. means are out
of luck unless they can get money
from the loan sharks.
Auto, furniture and household
appliance dealers who want to sell
direct to instaIment buyers send
their representatives to Washing
ton as friends of the poor man.
They don't want to see him dis
eliminated against by this wick.
ed Regulation W. What isn't men,
toned is that by selling goods on
time, carrying charges and inter.
est on unpaid balance can be add
ed to the price to yield a higher
profit.
Some used car dealers have
developed this into a racket. They
won't sell cars for cash.
From the Federal Reserve
Board point of view the danger
Of taking off controls is that too
much buying on time at high
prices may contribute to a de-
preston.
That's what happened in 1929.
Business was booming and every
bcdy owed money for things
bought On credit. When the crash
came, people didn't have enough
money to pay balances. Federal
Reserve Board people say they
think that shouldn't be allowed to
happen again.

Call Mine Contracts Illegal

Just when it appeared that coal
would be mined in normal quantities
under the new agreement of the opera
tors with John L. Lewis, head of the
United Mine Workers union, albeit at
greater cost, comes Representative
Hartley, co-author with Senator Taft
of the Taft-Hartley Labor Control Act,
with the announcement that any OPP
orator who signs up becomes a law
violator by that act, subject to a $780,
900 fine and a years Imprisonment.
Mr.. Hartley points out the new law
provides that operators may deduct
from miners pay the amount Of their
union dues, but not imitation fees and
assessments. Yet the contracts, he says,
which the operators have signed pro-
vide for these deductions-which are
clearly illegal.
He has no intention, he adds, Of mi
tiating proceedings against the opera
tors, as this action should be taken by
the executive branch, but he wants the
people to know just what is being done
to placate John l.. Lewis.
If MI. Hartley is correct in his
statements, and surely no one is better
able to interpret the labor act than he,
it is clearly up to the executive branch
to do something, particularly as Presl-
dent Truman, who assured the public
that he would do everything In his
power to have the provisions of the act
enforced. He had vetoed the bill, to be
sure, but when it was passed again
overwhelmingly, he assured reporters
at a press conference, and through
them the American people, that the
measure would have his complete CO.
operation.
Unless he is willing to admit that
Mr.. Lewis is too smooth for him. he is
in duty bound to take steps to bring
the new mine contracts within the pro-
visions of the Taft-Hartky Act.

MEANING OF ELASTICITY

Those of you who play the violin
know that the E string, which is
often made of steel wire, will
stretch quite a noticeable amount
without breaking. Remember that
the steel wire is made up of mole.
cules. When 1t is stretched, the
molecules r pulled slightly
apart. 1t is not easy to pull the
steel molecules apart. How diff
cult it is you may judge by the
force needed 10 stretch the wire
even 4 little. II you relax the
torce, the wire goes back to its
original length.
The steel wire is springy, OF,
in scientific language, it possesses
elasticity. Elasticity is due to the
forces holdin molecules together.
The hteel molecules can give"
just a little.
Elasticity is a very common
property Of solids, but all SUBJ
stances are not equally elastic;
that is, they do not all return
with the same readiness to their
original places when the stretch
ing forces are removed. Steel and
quartz are among the most per.

Actually rubber is rather
poor in elasticity, fer though it
stretches easily a long way, it
does not 80 back accurately to its
original length.
The tensile strength Of a SUBJ
stance is the force needed to
break it by pulling. The tensile
strength OF steel is about 40, 900
for a bar one square inch

Liquids also are elastic, though
they cannot be tested by stretch
but by the opposite Of stretch
ing - by COMPRISING them in

WASHINGTON - The gov'ment
is worrying about how much you
should be allowed to 60 into debt
row. It is worried about how
much you should owe the man
who comes around every month
to collect that lcng-past-due in
stallment, or else take away the
new car, the love seat or the
washing or talking machine.
During the war the guv'ment
wouldn't let you buy any mer
chandise on time unless you were

Then on Dec, 1 the insta1lment
buying curbs were liften on all
except IL lines of goods still in
short supply. They were autos, ra.
dios, furniture, refrigerators,
stoves, washing machines, IRON
ers, dish-washers, air condition
ers, monographs, sewing ma
chimes and vacuum cleaners.
On these items you have to pay
at least one-third down and sign
away your life to complete pay
ment On the unpaid balance with.
in Is months, this is done under
what is known as Federal Re-
serve Board Regulation w. It's
due to expire July 81, and that's
what all the bother is about.
Representatives of practically
every trade association dealing in
autos, furniture and household ap-
pliances have been in Washington
telling Congress it ought to take
of all the controls and let buying
on time 60 its own sweet way.
President Truman might extend
the Regulation w controls by ex,
ecutive order, but he says he
won't unless Congress gives him
new authority.
Chairman Mariner S. Eccles OF
the Federal Reserve Board orig.
inally asked for permanent au-
thority to put these controls on or
take them off whenever the situa-
ton warranted. When the House
OF Representatives refused 70
grant that power and voted to let
the controls expire at the end OF
the month, Eccles changed his
tune and asked the Senate to ex-
tend controls for q year only. The
Senate Committee on Banking and
currency is trying to make up its
mind On this point now.

is too cramped, too dirty, too cluttered
that no branch has sufficient room
that the entire lower floor of the City
Hall should be turned over to the de-
partment.
The present force of seventy-two,
including dog catcher, chiefs secre'
tary and parking meter collector,
should be increased to at least seventy
nine. with one officer for every ten
thousand persons.
The files were found to be meager,
with practically no record of individ-
ual efficiency and merit. There should
be complete personnel files, and they
should be kept in a locked cabinet IN
the chiefs office, available to the chief
alone.
Other recommendations are that ap-
plicants for employment should be
checked with the FB1, their credit rat
ing examined, their neighborhood stand
ing studied, their former employment
checked, their military service, if any,
noted, and that they should have a
minimum of high school education.
That the chief and desk sergeant
should have the address and telephone
number of all officers and all officers
off duty should advice the sergeant
where they can be reached in an emer-
gency.
That all members should submit to
yearly physical examinations.
That all should have training in a
police school and one member selected
by the chief for special training in the
FBI school in " Washington.
That there should be regular fire
arms training by an armed services Of
ficer. That shifts should be rotated.
Mr.. Morgan recommends that pri-
Yates receive a 5000 monthly salary,
s~ergeants 1925, lieutenants $3.50; pri-
Yates in the detective bureau 1925, SER
geants $3.50 and %lieutenants $275.
He urges a new system of records be
installed and that officers at present
in charge of this work be sent to Green's
boro and Winston-Salem to observe how
records are kept in those cities, and
when the new system is set up all Of
ficers here be instructed in its opera
ton.
He recommends removal Of the
Bureau of Identification from the
County Court House to the City Hall
(Which has already been done).
He further says that newspaper re-
porters should be kept from behind po-
lice desks and denied the privilege of
seeing records Or receiving reports on
any case except as authorized by the
chief.
AS this is the first comprehensive
study by an outside person of the po-
lice department in some years, it is to be
expected the City Council will find
much in it to be accepted, for the good
of the department. The men them
selves cannot we'll complain of any
measure adopted which will better fit
them for the exacting duties they are
employed to perform.

The Police Survey Report

What constitutes an efficient police
officer?
In the main, the anne qualifications
for satisfactory service in any skill
ed work.
This is made plain in the report of
4 survey Of the Wilmington Police de-
partment, made by Mr.. Roy L. Morgan,
former FBI member and present men,
Der of the Greensboro governing body.
Mr.. Morgan was invited to look the
police situation here over by City
Manager Benson. His findings are row
being studied by the City Council.
Among his many recommendations
he says an annual efficiency report
should show the members record for
loyalty, aggressiveness, knowledge of
work, tact, personality, intelligence,
initiative, executive ability, personal
appearance, public relations, judgment,
resourcefulness, attendance to duty
and ability to get along with fellow
officers. Furthermore, Mr.. Morgan adds
that the credit rating of all officers
should be above reproach and any Of
ficer whose credit is below par should
be suspended until the fault is remedi-
ed.
Certainly these are qualifications
that all employees of any business must
have to hold their jobs. They are as
essential in a police department as any
where else, and perhaps more 80 in
asmuch as police officers are expected
not only to enforce the law but set a
good example for others.
Mr.. Morgan touches this noint
obliquely in urging that strict rules Of
conduct be set up for officers off as we'll
as on duty. There should be no drink
ing or gambling in the City Hall, he
says, and adds that the officers con.
duct off duty should be such that M
discredit will be reflected OF the de-
partment, and that any officer failing
to live up to the rules should be dis
ciplined. He recommends that qossin-
ing in the department be summari1v
stopped to overcome petty jealousies and
that all gossiping be thoroughly inves-
tigated to uncover the source. If fornd
unreliable, the offender should be ron.
remanded.
Mr.. Morgan found that because there
is no regular system of promotion there
is dissatisfaction and lack of morale in
the force, and that dissension will CON-
tlnue until the hit-or-miss method Of
promotion is corrected.
