r Room for Ten Girls.
There are 10 positions where tele-
phone girls may sit, their headsets
plugged into a panel, ready to take
a call if light flashes before them.
The volume of calls will be watched
closely, and more girls pressed into
service II they are needed.
On the job before the radio mi
crophones were Pvts. Ralph W.. Har-
per and Thomas J. Hutchinson, dis
patchers who previously operated at
the 10th precinct
They handled the broadcasting
alternately. In case of an extreme
emergency, they would be notified
by one of the telephone girls, and a
dispatcher could cut in on the tele-
phone call as it was being received.
Calls not urgent enough for a
radio flash were relayed by the tele-
phone complaint clerks to two tele-
phone operators, 8. F.. Birrell and
w. M. Kolb.
All Calls Go to Headquarters.
Another innovation, the telephone
system, will largely take the place OF

this will serve to prevent direct calls
to precincts by citizens wishing po-
lice help, thus avoiding confusion
where wrong precincts are called.
The first call handled by these
land lines dispatchers today came
from the 4th precinct, which wanted
car AZ to call the station.
Another function of the land lines
dispatchers will be to receive calls
from the Fire Department on all
alarms and relay them to radio dis
patchers. This will augment the
Fire Departments own radio sys-

Logs Will Be Kept.
The land lines and radio dis
patchers will keep logs, a part of the
intricate new report system in
stalled by Police Supt. Robert J.
Barrett. Among other things, the
logs will be studied by the officer in
charge of the bureau for periodic
press releases.
In a separate glassed-in COM

In recent election in Essen for example, the vote polled by the Communists dropped from 50000 in the previous election 25OOO but they increased their number of seats on the City Council from two to six
 So far this decision hangs the balance at Bohn But important than choosing the right electoral system is the restoration of confidence of the German people in the spirit of inspired democracy This is where the 70 at Bonn may make their greatest contribution
 Several members of the assembly bly-including Dr. Konrad Adenauer the deeply respected chairman-saw dramatzaton of inspired democracy at showings of the theological revue, The Good Road," in Western Germany last month. In one of the scenes, Benjamin Franklin speaks of another constitutional convention not unlike the Bonn Conference. At Philadelphia in 1787 bitter deadlock representation in Congress was resolved when the delegates heed the wise old Pennsylvanians admonition to appeal to the Father of Lights to illumine our understanding"
 q have lived sir, long time," Franklin concluded
 and the longer live the convincing proofs see of this truth that God governs in the affairs of men And if sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is probable that empire rise without His aid?'

The National Association of Housing Officials pre- diets that GI housing will ouas the GI population of American colleges and universities.
 Some 474 of the institutions of higher learning, it seems have applied for full ownership of government housing erected their campuses In accordance with recent Federal legislation these colleges and unvers ties will receive without charge 727 housing projects accommodating 88OOO students and their families. The schools provide the sites and utilities for the structures which were moved to the campuses from army camps and defense workers, housing settlements.
 This temporary" housing has served real purpose in relieving local housing shortages and in making possible college training for veterans who otherwise would have been unable to attend school The buildings will not last indefinitely but they should remain useful for some time to come.

PEOPLE" PAY TAXES
(Daily Alaska Empire)

The Wall Street Journal says that lot of people are kidding themselves about taxes-ncluding some re- putedy intelligent and observant economists No mat ter which way you slice it taxes paid by people, and nobody else This financial paper notes that Pres- dent Truman recently suggested that the tax load be taken off people, and put corporations and that labor economist has suggested that the government tax wealth and use to money to pay subsidy to cut the cost of food for "people."
 The Commerce Department has just reported that that the total tax take of Federal State and local gov ernmens in the past fiscal year amounted to $52 OOO 100000 or 1862 for every man, and child in the country For family of four that if equally divided would $1 448 The average worker looking at his last years tax bill will realize that he isn't paying y that much and will conclude that the balance of his share is being paid by other people and by things Corporations and real estate).
 This is faacous reasoning of the first water, and high government officials and so-caed responsible economists rendering public service when they skip the real import of ''hidden' taxes. Who figure how much taxes add to the cost of suit of clothes pair of shoes bottle of milk? Or the rent of four-room bungalow? What difference does few billions for social security make so long the tra paid for by corporation eves and not by people?
 No matter how you cover 1t up try to hide it, it's people" who pay taxes and not things" The taxes that the little does not pay directly Gin income tax sales tax cigarette taxes etc., he pays indirectly every item of food and merchandise he buys-on every streetcar ride he takes every public utility he uses It's people" and nobody else who pay for every penny they let their government spend.
 The Wall Street Journal notes in it's comment this reasoning about taxes that the sale of aspirin is increasing and concludes with the observation: You can buy lot of headache for $362.
