Pattern for Economic Teamwork
Hearings before the Joint Con-
gressional Committee on the Eco
nomic Report got off to an excel
lent start the other day when c.
E. Wilson, president of General
Motors, offered this three-way
COUNSEL:
To workers. balance sup
ply and demand and increase pro-
ductivity without serious unem-
ployment requires the right atti-
tude on the part of workmen, a
willingness to learn new jobs and
achieve the extra production made
possible by improved processes and
the superior tools provided. Other
wise, the fruits of chronological
improvements are dissipated
through feather-bedding
To management-"Lik to
balance supply and demand and to
increase productivity without un-
employment requires the right at
titude on the part of industry and
business men generally to accept
the challenge of competition and
to strive to earn profits by deliy-
ering an ever better value for the
customers dollar, and not just to
sit by and collect toll. Only this
will maintain confidence of Gus
TONER'S"
To Government - Government
can help, not by going into compe-
tition with it's citizens nor by at
tempting to regulate production

ton which fosters free competition
both in business and labor. The

Milford chronicle., 1947-07-04

At the same time, Senator Van
denberg. president of the Senate,
advises President Truman that our
foreign aid program must be bas-
ed on a total balance sheet" that
charts American ability to provide
ships and services for world rehab-
ilitatiOn. But the present President
must dismiss the notion that he
can ignore Congress.
Truman has not only slipped
he has fallen from the heights to
the pavement. 1t is too bad, be-
cause a few months ago he was
applauded when he promised to
join in non-partisan programs
with the Congress. The compact
seems to have ended.
Political Job Holders
Eight years ago, there were
SS7 400 employees on the Govern
ment payroll.
Today, there are 1,S5O,OOO civil
ians on the payrolls inside the Uni
ted States.
No one knows why there is such
an over-production of political
hangers-on.
Certainly, most of them are not
needed in the public service. I'm
employment has dropped to below
normal
Speaking OF Human Values
Modern society tends to frus-
trate it's participants, and lack OF
consideration for human values by
corporations has endangered the
business system those corporations
represent, according to a recent
statement of, w. Howard Chase, oi
General Foods.
where management has recOg-
nized Citizen Sam as human be.
! ing, where genuine effort has beer
made to make him feel that he is
an appreciated vital part of al
important operation, where man
agement has talked turkey abou
it's problems in terms Citizen San
understands, there has been great
er labor peace, greater under
standing, and ultimately better
production. These are the fruits
of an all-out, planned attack OF
human Illustration, the enemy o
free man and free institutions.
Mr.. Chase looks into the future
and finds that it is "a business
sytem, but perhaps of western hu
manitarian civilization hangs upol
the willingness of todays men o
business to concentrate thei
i brains and energies into an all-ou
attach on human Illustration"

tend, will be the inevitable result
of the exercise of assumed regu
latory authority by the Federal
Power Commission, a power which
Congress never gave the Commits
sion. Congress, the natural gas
leaders say, can help provide the
people with more fuel next winter
by passing the Ridley Bill which
redefines and clarifys the Fed
eral Power Commissions author
ity.
These natural gas operators
should be right because they
should know more about their bus
iness than do government bureau
Gratis. Convincing evidence that
they are right may be- found in the
truth in their statement that "the
principles of the OPA that pro-
NOTED shortages due to a multi
plicity of unwise controls are now
being applied to natural gas
The American people are glut-
tons for punishment They put up
with the OPA- all through the war
but the instant the war ended they
kicked it out and fired the devious
OPAers who had improperly used
war controls to bring about social
and economic reform.
The Federal Power Commits
sion's practice of taking leaves
from the OPA's notebook by ex-
pressing powers which Congress
never gave it indicates that the
OPA spirit lives on in this bureau
cratic stronghold even though the
people thought they had killed
OPA two years ago.
The issue seems clear to many
people: Either restrict the FPC's
unwarranted assumption of power
now or else shiver from lack OF
4 fuel next winter.
HOW'S Business!
Agricultural conditions show the
corn outlook to be the worst in
many years.
Employment in manufacturing
establishments shows gradual
reduction in recent weeks.
The record in residential con
struction for the present veal
shows a large increase over 1916
Reliable figures indicate that 1875,
900 new permanent dwelling unit:
have been constructed this year
and the cost for 1947 in the Ma
ton will be top-high. Wholesale
prices early this month were thlr
ty-two percent above year ago
While wholesale prices and pro
duction dropped gradually, the re
tail trade prices have not changed
very much. Food costs have beer
very heavy for several years. Gov
ernment spending keeps up de
spite claims that we will begil
to save some of our money.
Wen Blunder Through
All these prophecies that ther'
will be a business collapse ant
unemployment are guesses.
The present revolt of Congress
will help, for them, restore Am
erican rules of government. Ev
eryone knows that all these strike
and battles between labor leader
and industrial organizations hav

we have forgotten how to be friends
with one another. Sharing of pleas
ures and sorrows is thing Of the
past and their place is taken by
suspicion and reserve. Long years
ago strangers banded together,
braved the dangers of a primitive
ocean crossing to reach an un-
known land and there founded the
United States OF America. These
little groups became as one family,
sharing the good and bad that was
the lot of each member. They had
one great solace and refreshment
the hymns of their church.
Religious fervor and community
service are the foundation stones
of this country. They have been
overgrown with the results of prog
ress and prosperity, but the Nation
rests solidly upon them. Every citi-
zen has been taught that only by
working together with tolerance
were the early settlers able to sur
vive. Many of these were simple
honest people from countries whose
recent record Is blackeneds with
horrors. They. too, had their songs
and their common, friendly interest
that assisted in the building Of a
great Nation.
Is it not possible that once again
that brotherly feeling can be
aroused? Music is there to help
to soften the spirit and to warm
the blood with human concern
Much profound talk and clever
thinking will be necessary before
a world peace is established. II
would be assisted if put once a
month small groups in every COM
munity would join together to sing
their beloved songs. At least q
step in that direction has been
made by the festival scheduled for
tonight or for next Sunday, If the
weather Is inclement. If the affair
is a success, choirmasters from
churches within a radius of so miles
will be asked to cooperate in con-
tinuing the sings on more gigantic
scale,

Cleveland Violinist
AT Gallery Tonight

Mervin Ritter, a., violinist OF
Cleveland, Ohio, will give recital
in the National Gallery of Art to-
night at o'clock with Margaret
Denison as his collaboration at the

Winner Of prizes and honors, Mr.
Ritter was already so proficient In
playing the violin q year before his
graduation from high school. that
he performed Tschaikowsky's violin
concerto with 70-piece orchestra
appeared as soloist with the Cleve-
land Civic Symphony and gave his
own recital at the Cleveland Music
Settlement. Later, after years
scholarship at the Peabody Con-
servatory Of Music under Shumsky
and Jacobson, the violinist won an
other to study at the Berkshire
Music Center and to play in the
orchestra under Koussevitzky.
However, it was while awaiting
orders in a Replacement Depot at
Fontainebleau, to 60 to the front
as radio technician. that the
greatest opportunity for gaining
experience in public playing pre-
sented itself. He was asked to join
a CT unit as an entertainer. It is
in this capacity that he travelled In
France, Belgium, Luxembourg ano
Germany, appearing at Red Gross
centers, post theaters and replace
ment depots.
Upon his return to the United
States last year Mr.. Ritter gave q
Homecoming" concert at the Cleve-
land Institute of Music, played as q
soloist with orchestras and in re-
citals. "Etude Caprice" by a fel.

First in Series of Hymn Sings
Planned at Sylvan Theater
By Alice Eversmun

Tonight, weather permitting, the
first of a planned series Of COM
munity song-fests will be held at
the Sylvan Theater in the Monu-
ment Grounds. There will be joined
together 1000 singers and what is
hoped will be much larger than
that audience. As one great voice
they will sing the well-known hymns
of the church before the special
program arranged by the directors
Of several prominent choirs. An in
vocation will be given by the Rev.
R. w. Brooks, pastor of the Lincoln
Temple Congregational Church. and
a benediction by the Rev. G. c.
Hung, pastor of the Chinese Com
munity Church. The Salvation
Army Band, under the leadership
of Capt. Leslie S. Hall, will play.
This is not q suddenly thought
up affair, but has been carefully
planned over several months. 1t is
an effort made by a group OF
thoughtful people to strive for real
fellowship of man through music
in this city. "Its underlying pur-
pose," states Justine Lawrie, chair
man, sis for spiritual results and
the happy reactions which always
follow when men, women and chill
dren of many faiths and many races
sing together the beloved songs of
Zion"
When one stops to think of it,
could there be a better formula for
attaining world peace as well as
community friendship than the will
ingness of all peoples to lift their
voices together in song2 Would 1t
be possible to come away from such
union with greed, aggressiveness
and selfishness in the heart? Could
one turn on ones neighbor whose
voice has just blended with yours
with unrighteous thoughts? What
operates in a single small gathering
could attain the same purpose in
a larger. more embracing one.
Festival Symbol.
The Choral Festival and Mu-
nieipal Hymn-sing of tonight is
symbol. True, it will be like a
pebble falling in a great body of
water but ripples spread out over
it's entire surface. But it reveals
the fundamentals necessary for
world understanding and the SIM
plicity and truth of the method is
startling.
The fact of the matter is that
