dertook to spread its own kind Of
political philosophy, opponents Of
that philosophy would have no
choice but to take over the Govern
ment itself, instead Of reasoning to-
gether in a local community with
neighbors on how to teach their no
tions of liberty. We should soon
be deep in factional fights at elec-
ton time, just as continental Euro
pean countries now are, because
whoever controlled the government
controlled the means of indoctrin-
ating the people. Since 'the party
in power is always desperately
maneuvering to keep in power, the
control of the peoples ideas is its
first concern, through propaganda
and education.
The modern state is everywhere
narrowing the sphere of citizens
freedom and civil and economic lib
critics. When the devil-state has
done it's job, complete and cruel
tyranny comes, as it did. to Ger
many, Italy and Soviet Russia.
In the twilight of freedom around
us, the United States and its great
people must lift the torch Of lib
erty. We need a crusade against
statism and for liberty in the very
grassroots of our democracy.
We must urge more and more
free education, spontaneously sup
ported by the thousands of local
communities, as the only possible
source from which we can teach
God and freedom, and combat
paganism and statism. The turn
toward paganism and statism has
come about because educators can
not or do not teach about God and
self-government under religious dis
ciplines.
Does it not follow that we must
reverse our present trend, instead of
accelerating it?

the corner and halls taxicab. She
might be a grandmother on a shop
ping tour, except she has no time
for shopping.
She's the only member Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's first cabinet still
in her Governments service. Her
name is Frances Perkins.
Since September, 1946, she has
been one OF the three United States
Civil Service Commissioners. Her
role as commissioner is an incon-
spicuous one, far removed from the
dynamic part she played during the
New Deal era.
Her job demands periodic country
wide travels to IA regional civil
service Offices, speechmaking, set
ting up competitive examinations,
guarding against ineficiency and
fraud and acting. with her two as
sociates, as a civil service policy
making body.
Just now the commissioners are
busy with another job-setting up a
system of loyalty checks under the
Loyalty Review Board.
Five and Six Day Weeks
It's a full schedule that Miss
Perkins (she'l be 66 next ApriD
maintains five and sometimes six
days week.
Miss Perkins has made 1t her life's
business to improve relationships
between employers and employees.
Her present job, she points out, is a
natural extension of doing just that.
Much of her work is the handling of
appeals of Government employees
and working out satisfactory en-
ployment conditions.
In 1902, at the time Miss Perkins
was beginning to acquire the social
thinking which advanced her to the
Roosevelt cabinet, there were few

members of her party, as well as
Representative J. Parnall Thomas,
Republican, of New Jersey, all de-
manded at different times that she
be fired. Mr.. Thomas laid the
groundwork for impeachment pro-
ceedings.
Soon after the war started, the
American Legion demanded that she
resign her post in favor Of "the
cause Of national unity"
Was Truman's Boss
When she left office she had
helped put across unemployment
benefits and old-age insurance and
the 40-hour week. She had helped
set up a public works program and
established public employment Of
fees. (When President Truman
headed the Missouri Public Employ
ment System, Miss Perkins was his
boss)
She had fought for and won . 16-
year-old minimum age limit on en-
ployment of young people. She had
won protection against the fall OF
wages to the "unspeakably low levels
of 1928" by establishing . floor
under them.
She had helped set up the collec-
tive bargaining method Of solving
labor disputes which today is the
basis of all employer-employe rela-
tionships.
For the future, Miss Perkins sees
still better working conditions for
labor and still more improved labor
management relations.

By Henry A. Lyon
When w. C. Schroeder, chief OF
the Office of Synthetic Liquid Fuels
of the Bureau of Mines, made an
address recently in Atlantic City
urging manufacture of fuels to sup
plement natural oil reserves, he de-
clared it would take several years
and large amounts of steel to bring
into being an industry capable of
producing 100000 to 00,0oC
barrels of oil daily.
Mr.. Schroeder emphasized a point
that is widely debated, but which
nevertheless, may be true: The
United States faces a period of COM
parative famine in oil If the re-
serves, estimated at about 20 billion
barrels, are to be kept above the
level necessary from an interna-
tional, strategic viewpoint. He
thinks that if the petroleum indus
try can operate freely in foreign
fields without paying too much, oil
could be imported from the 30
billion barrel Near East reserves
and elsewhere; in terms of military
strategy, he declared the country
should never allow the security of
a large proportion Of its supply to
rest in distant foreign lands"
Experiments Costly
The synthetic oil setup is about
where the synthetic rubber program
was before the war. 1t would cost
more than five times as much to
build up a synthetic oil industry but
students of the problem say this
would be a small price if oil-the
life blood of war and industry-were
to be limited severely without sub
stitutes.
Coal, natural gas and oil shale
are just now the three most logical
sources of supplemental oil. The
cost of producing gasoline from
coal, though still on pilot plant
basis, has been brought to within
S to Z cents a gallon above the cost
of production from petroleum. The
new fuel is of superior quality and
1t may be possible to lop of another
few cents from the production cost
One Of the more spectacular
developments in the field of syn
thetic fuels is the oil shale project
at Rifle, Col. This has three major
points of interest. One is a large
scale operation mine that bores into
the sheer face of cliff; another a
smaller. selective mine, and the
third is the crushing and retorting
plant where products of the smaller
experimental mine are processed
into oil.
This oil actually comes from
"kerogen" in the shale. "Kerogen"
is a compound of Greek words
meaning wax forming" Actual re-
fning of this material remains to be
Evening star., 1948-01-25

| AS the crow flies the mines and
the retorting plant are IL miles
apart, but the new road Is more
than miles long and contains
many switchbacks because Of the
2,500-foot rise in elevation between
the crushers and the mines. The
homes of the colony of workers and
scientists cluster in the valley be-
low. These homes are modern.
Some 244 employees at the Rifle
project are employed there the year
around, including miners and 13
construction workers. Among those
from Washington who have ma
terially advanced the project are
DR.. Schroeder, r. A. Cattell, acting
chief of the Oil Slale Research and
Demonstration Plant Division, and
A. ]. Kraemer, assistant chief.
BY the summer Of 1949 it is ex-
pected that the project will have
expended the original ALLEGATION OF
100000 from the total synthetic
fuels appropriation authorized by
Congress in 1914. Expenditures from
this $6,o02 900 have included lab
oratory at Laramie, Wyo., costing
s500,O00. The demonstration plant
with its N-T-U retorts cost $780,
900. These outlays left $4,000.000 for
actual experimental mining and
operation of the plant and labora-
tories.
"N-T-U" means "Nevada-T Texas
Utah" The retort is the business
end Of the crushing and processing
procedure after the shale is trucked
to the demonstration plant. The
oil shale strata in the mine are well
known, and after the crushing and
weighing, records are kept on the
productivity. Each batch of crushed
shale is carefully weighed on scales
especially devised for the purpose.
The crushed shale Is lifted from
the storage bins on an endless belt.
The oil cooked out OF the rocks"
runs from 4 to rs per cent by
weight.
Utah Deposits Good, Also
Oil shale is not yet regarded as
a likely source of gasoline. for it
yields low-octane motor fuel. 1t
is known that crude shale cannot
be refined into substitutes for all
petroleum products by the normal
methods used on petroleum. Co.
operative tests with oil companies
are now in progress to develop suit
able refining methods.
Just now it costs about 10 cents
a ton just to mine the shale. 1t is
not known yet what the cost will be
when full exploration has been
made of methods and equipment,
but so cents is believed to be at
tainable. 1t has been stated that
for a given surface area to be
worked, oil shale will outyield in

very very nice about it but said why
should he be responsible? He
pointed out there was no law to
involve him at all in the tragedy. I
Just couldn't believe it.
But today I can tell people there

can't happen. Today it's the law
