John F. Curtin is a native Of
New York City and an engineer
graduate of New York Univer-
sity. He also studied at, the
Harvard School of Business
Administration. During the war
he operated the bus service at
Oak Ridge, Tenn. where the
atomic energy plant was built.
He started with Is buses and
by 1945 was operating 850., The
job also included operation Of
q railroad line. He gave up tine
job late in 1945 and joined
Mr.. Simpson.
Mr.. Zimring is the senior
among the four. Mr.. Curtin

Of the quartet, wearinga brown

he speaks softly.
The firm Of Simpson & Cur.
tin has worked for more than
100 transit companies in %
States and Canada over the
last four years, according to
Mr.. Curtin. For some they
merely serve as consultants and
advisers In labor relations and
In certain operating problems.
In other cases they helped ne
gotiate wage contracts. But
when wage negotiations break
down, arbitrations generally
follow and they have become q

Herbert Syme.
Much of the bureaus work
is in couhseling and advising
about 500 divisions of ANAL
gamated.
But each year a fight de-
velops in some Of the proper
ties" Mr.. Oliver said. "and
when that happens the ANAL
gamated division retains us to
represent it, Then follows
the big job of presenting the
case before the arbitration
board.
Arbitrations are usually a
battle of exhibits, with wit
nesses and arguments to back
them up. The research organ
izatiDns of the two firms amass
data as they go along on gen.
eral subjects. and work out
special data concerning the
property where the fight is.
Exhibits show trends and
practices in industry generally
and in the transit industry IN
particular. They cover wages,
overtime, hours Of work, lunch
periods, sick leave, retirement
pensions, group insurance. pro-
motions. holidays allowed and
other conditions of employ
ment. ..
When the union completed
presenting its case before the
arbitration board here the to-
tai number Of exhibits was 154.
The company's exhibits num-
bered 147.
Labor Bureau Gains
The transit industry comedies
that the Labor Bureau has been
uncomfortably successful In
representing the various Anal
gamated divisions. It complains
that the industry is whipsawed
between union gains in one city
and gains in another; that the
union. for example. will gain
holidays with pay or sick leave
BENEFITS in one city, and that
Mr.. Zimring and Mr.. Oliver viii
use that advance to gain SINH
lar benefits in another city.
Mr.. divers answer to this Is
Q cheerful admission that 1t Is
true. "It is progress by small
steps," he said, "and 1t is =
good thing for the industry be-
cause it allows it to adjust for
changes.
For example. we did not get
the 40-hour week until toward
the close Of the war. It was
general throughout other in
dustries, but the transit indus
try claimed it could not operate
on the 40-hour week. When

During the 1948 campaign Mr..
Clifford was scoffed at almost as
much as was his boss, "the candi-
ldate who wouldn't win" Men
who were to grow wiser said the

man who turned his strategy over

er seemingly oblivieus to the crit
icism. Asked by this reporter for
an oh-the-record explanation of
his confidence that "the boss will
make It," Mr.. Clifford gave two
points Of reasoning: First, he said.
"the plain self-interest" Of most
voters requires Truman's election.
and, secondly. the President will
have sold the voters on that self
interest" by election day. What
sounded like "wishful thinking"
that day In September proved true
when November came.
Mr.. Clifford's departure will
cause only limited weeping in the
Offices Of several Of the other top
White House aides. The, tall,
blond lawyer is not Of the "hail
fellow" school. He can be icily
cold. particularly when faced with
what he regards as stupidity or
self seeking on the part of those
dedicated to helping" the boss.
And. like competing courtiers
through history. the others, at
times. have been jealous and re-
sentful Of continuing publicity
picturing the legal counsel as one
who, if not smarter than the Pres
ident himself, is at least far su-
perior to others Of the inner cir
Gle. It is alleged that Maj. Gen.
Harry Vaughan, military aide and
star of a continuing White House
foot in e-mouth" act. first
dubbed Mr.. Clifford as "the
BRAIN" and the general was not
speaking in a complimentary vein.
Although many predict Mr..
Clifford would have relished ap-
pointment as Attorney General,
there has never been an incident
indicating he sought political ad-
vancement. To intimateS. he has
insisted that he would stay at the
White House only until the Presi-
dent agreed to release him and
then he would open up his own
law Office.
His friends believe him when he
says he wants a real" and not a

able, however. that, come January,

oring for legal assistance from

Respectful Opponents
In the current arbitration.
Mr.. Zimring and Mr.. Curtin are
the partisan members of the
board. The impartial members
are Alfred A. Colby, Washing
ton attorney with long expert
ence in arbitration. chairman;
Prof. Harry Shulman of Yale.
the arbitrator of issues arising
under the Ford Motor Co. labor
contract, and Charles A. Hor-
sky, Washington attorney, for
merly with the Justice Depart-
ment and also experienced in
arbitration.
Mr.. Simpson presents the
company's case, Mr.. Oliver the
unions. Thus they have more
to do than their colleagues on
the board. Each watches the
others case closely, they occa-
sionally get into arguments and
each apparently has consider
able respect for the others
ability.
On one occasion Mr.. Simpson
elected from one union witness
some information that had not
been given in direct examina-
tion by Mr.. Oliver. The wit
ness said he was sorry that he
had forgotten to mention the
fact before. Since it was IA
vorable to the union side, Mr..
Oliver said he was sorry, too.
Tension Relieved
I'm always glad to help
you" remarked Mr.. Simpson
urbanely. Mr.. Oliver found this
statement highly amusing and
Mr.. Simpson finally joined in
Mr.. divers laughter.
Company officials sit beside
Mr.. Simpson at one table. Union
officials sit beside Mr.. Oliver
at the other. Occasionally q
discussion develops that appears
headed toward rancor. This is
the cue for Chairman Colby to
interpose q wise crack to re-
lieve the tension.
Prof. Shulman also is ready
with a facetious remark. One
OF the stock tension-relievers is
joking reference to the ques-
ton whether the impartial
members Of the board are "pro-
fessional" arbitrators. Board
members and counsel have rung
charges on that subject jok-
ingly since the first day
II at any time you want to
get in touch with Mr.. Simp-
son, Mr.. Curtin. Mr.. Zimring or
Mr.. Oliver. perhaps the easiest
way would be to find out where
an arbitration board is hearing
a transit company contract dis
pute. It is a good bet that Mr..
Simpson or Mr.. Curtin, or both,
will be there for the company.
And Mr.. Zimring or Mr.. Oliver
will be there for the union.

Thoughts to Ponder
Are you going to take a vaca-

it? How are you going to take
it? Our bodies are made of the
sort of stuff that gets tired. Rest
is not the regular program of life.
Work is the regular program;
therefore everybody at some stage
of the game needs rest. Rest is
necessary to give your worn bodies
and weary brains, a chance to re-
cover; get yourself in hand, and
make ready for a fresh campaign.
An ideal vacation is one that gives
physical animation, mental refresh
ment, and spiritual uplift.

Betrayal

DCtI dy al
nEOPLE SOMETIMES think that
1 religion shuts mems eyes to
the ugly realities of life. Some re-
ligions try to do so; but not the re-
ligion of Christ. He knew the kind
of world this is; he never let his
disciples forget it.
On that last night, dark forces
were abroad. Jesus enemies
were closing in on him. One Of
his own circle would betray
him. Yet it was in that sort Of
atmosphere, heavy with betray-
al and hatred, that Jesus began
this sacrament of faith, hope
and love.
The true Christian does not live
in a fools paradise, he does not
imagine that everything is lovely in
the incest of possible worlds. The
sacrament which is the heart of his
worship is itself reminder of the
ugliness of the world which mans
sin creates.

TESUS TEACHINGS are so impor.
J tant, so full of wisdom and of
living power, that often some one
will say that Jesus was a teacher
and only teacher, and that follow
ing his teachings Is all that Chris
tianity is. Jesus did not think Of it
in this way.
True, his teaching is Of the
utmost Importance; but that
was not and is not all. AS Mid
dleton Murry said years ago,
Jesus was the only teacher who
has died for his teaching. But
he did more than that: he died
for those he taught.

teacher, he was a sacrifice.

single picture to express the mean

lures are beautiful, but many Of
them miss an important truth. What
shall it be? A picture of ship
wrecked woman clinging to rock?
Of a saint praying in long soli-
tary vigil? These leave out some
thing vital. For Christianity is a
fellowship. No Christian is COM
plete by himself.
At the heart of our religion is
Communion. Few if any
Protestant churches allow any
one even a minister, to give the

himself.
The true Christian never finds
himself, his true self, alone; only
in fellowship. A Christian belongs
with other Christians as much as
