The Little Assembly And The U. s.

(Rocky Mountain News)
 THE UNITED NATIONS Little Assembly launched recently Lake Success It is the most hope full development of the international organization since the U. N. began to function two years ago.
 Like the parent body, the offspring is handicapped It has no independent power It only recommend. Nevertheless it's potential influence exceedingly great because it can educate and mold world opinion And that in the end usually is the highest seat of authority in foreign affairs.
 Whether this year-round interim committee of the U. N. Assembly grows strong, langushes into the limbo of many ineffective international committees of noble purpose depends upon it's members. That Russia and her satellites who have started by boy cotting the Little Assembly.
 It also the United States who fathered this form and whose continued leadership is essential it's success
 Finally it those small nations who hold the balance of power between the Soviet and the democratic bocs especially those who souted loudly for the tion of this body but who get ttery when Rus sian frowns.
 As for the Soviet government there is present for believing it will cooperate. Its boycott policy stated in such violent terms by Vshnsky when the cent Assembly meeting voted to establish this interim body, has just been reaffirmed by the Soviet U. N delegation.
 United States strategy is not clear The general sumption that the state department would continue to force the fight for functionng United Natons Sec retary Marshall and his aides did at the assembly sion last fall, may prove premature
 At least the American delegation is inspiring press ports that will go slow and avoid giving offense to Moscow in the hope of eventual Soviet cooperation.
 To criticize this reported strategy before it becomes official and without seeing how it is applied would be unfair If it works out simply effort to leave the door open for any change of heart by Stalnhowever improbable that may be-it is legitimate.
 But if the practical effect is any wobbling weak by the United States in defense of the U N Char ter against Soviet aggression in the Balkans, the Far East and elsewhere it will be shameful and disastrous retreat

NEIGHBOUR FIXING

TeSedrCH TOT the southern SLaLeS I n d u strial Council, Nashville, Tenn, is a man who speaks with wisdom. Sometime ago MT. Sen sing released comments on our wage and hour law, in which he predicted there would be contin- usd agitation to fix minimum wages at higher figures. think it is true, as MT. Sensing suggests, that few people understand the implications of wage and hour fix ing by the government.
 In recent years, partly the af- termath of controlled war econ omy the federal government has exercised the power it has as- stunned to tell both workers and investors what they may expect to have in return for their efforts. This is done in many ways in ad- dition to the wage and hour law. It is done through taxes, as we'll as through use of wage formu- las" It is done when labor bar gains with government. Inasmuch as the government does these things, government therefore con- trols the economy.
 Real Guarantee
 Says MT. Sensing: "The whole system of democracy is directly opposed to any sort of planned economy. Deny it though we may, the fixing of wages by legis- lative action can be regarded as nothing else than part and parcel of planned economy. If the gov ernment is allowed to assume the power to fix minimum wages and maximum hours, there is nothing to keep the government from re- versing this process and fixing maximum wages and minimum hours"
 With that, democracy flies com. pletely out the window, MT Sen sing declares. Everybody, he says should have a living wage-o more-if he earns it. But no on who believes in democracy vii argue that a person should have certain wage whether he earns or not. Productivity comes frs not wages. The only real guarar tee behind wage in a democrac is the productivity of the perso who receives the wage.
 False Promises
 These words are so logical an the reasoning so plain that I woul like to continue with MT Ser sings comments. Suppose an en ployer couldn't pay the minimu wages set up, and had to clo down. There are two choices the government: either the bu: ness must be taken over al workers paid without any refe ence to the earnings of the bu ness; or the workers go on rel and are issued a dole at the pense of the general public"
 The first would be state soci ism, which the people of Amer would never indorse willingly Knowingly. Socialism never I and never will bring the people strong government and a h standard of living" MT. Sens cites state socialism in Engla Promising them greater prod ton, it has brought decrea production; promising them higher standard of living, it brought them lower standard

Whence Prosperity?

The other alternative, says Sensing would bring a great b of unemployed. They are un ployed simply because the law the land have made it unprofit

'You do lot of wondering about me, don't

anything dishonest, in my life. That's the whole
point. And yet - " He gazed at the fire. Last
week there was senator who claimed that
public opinion has killed more people than fir

HE SMOKED quietly for while. Then he
went on, Before the thing hit me, used to
be pretty happy guy in Bardentown. Never
had much money, but had nice job teaching
at the high school. Had a girl, too - we were
going to be married in the spring 1t seemed
to me most people liked me pretty well. Trusted
me- Fact is, could have sworn had lot Of
friends" He laughed at that, with so much
bitterness that looked at him in astonishment.
Real friends said, aren't 50 easily lost.
That's what used to think. But Barden-
town gave me wonderful lesson in human
psychology. One day found a woman's purse
"a black handbag lying alongside the road.
There was little velvet bag in it. and the bag
was filled with jewels - a necklace, bracelets,
rings, brooches. decided some woman must
have lost it on her way to her safety deposit
box something like that There was no iden-
tiication at all in the purse. No wallet, no
cards. Just the bag of jewels.
Being an honest man." he went on bit
derisively. Il hurried home and telephoned the
police about it. Within half an hour they called
back to say an excited woman, a Mrs. Wrencher,
had just reported the loss. They were bringing
her right over" He shook his head over the
memory. Mrs Wrencher described every
jewel in the bag. The stuff was hers all right,
and returned it. After that was sort of
hero - you know, an honest man. 1t turned
out the jewels were worth about eighty thou
sand dollars" ~

A Short Short Story

always liked Gene Russey Summer after sum-
mer went back to that fishing camp of his
on upper Moosehead "a rather elaborate
place, as fishing camps 60, with six private
cottages grouped around the big main hall.
And whenever arrived, his boyish grin of well
come, his hearty handshake. increased my
affection for him. He was short, almost chubby,
with sandy hair and snub-nosed face. His
bright blue eyes were as ingenious as child's.
Still, a man likes to know things about his
friends. What baffied me was my failure to
learn anything of his background.
Gene" asked during the first summer,
'how long have you been up here?"
Couple of years." he said.

We were padding toward a pickerel cove
and was in the PROV of the canoe, 50 that l
couldn't see his face. Yet l felt hesitation
that almost made me turn. Then he said.
"Bardentown. Little place in upper New York
You never heard of it"
Lots of nice little towns up in New York
State l never heard Of I guess. What made
you come up here?"
Its long story" Gene Russey said. His
tone cut off all discussion, indicating he didn't
want to talk about it.
Bur he left me wondering. Here he was, living
alone in the Maine woods unmarried, without
any visible family connections. Not once.
indeed. in all the years knew him did he
mention his family.
He talked freely enough about other matters
- about fishing. hunting, the beauty of Maine
winters. And whenever he read magazine
story of mine he particularly liked, he took the
trouble to write long, complimentary letter.
But about himself. about his personal history,
there was never word.
Having been sienced once. however, never
again attempted to pry into his life. think he
appreciated that. Maybe that was why he even
tuaily did tell me about the thing that had
happened in Bardentown. 1t was. I suppose,
his way of showing his trust in me. And it was
fantastic the thing he told
We had padded across the lake to camp for

talk we were silent, and looked at him curl
