ished its vacation Not being rich folk, we like
to take our vacation in state parks We pick
New York because that's where both sides of
our family come from.
''We rented from the state ee-bedroom
cabin in the woods on a lake. We had an oil
stove furnished by the state fireplace built
by the state running cold water and flush
toilet installed by the statae, There's swimming
with lifeguards whom the state pays and there
are boats which the state rents and there are
fish which the state has stocked in the lake.
There is also a wonderfully pleasant staff
whom the state hires to take care of everyone.
All this cost us $42 so for two weeks for the
whole family - not counting our food, of
course.
after reading MIR. Dulles attack on Stat
ISM we came to the conclusion that certainly
the state parks in New York must be part of
this 'Statism 1t might even be socialism-the
kind that Herbert Hoover is biting his finger
nails about. Maybe MIR Dulles feels that there
shouldn't be state parks wether families
have good time for little money. Maybe it
wrong of us to enjoy 'Statist vacation
like we did.

Dewey is a member of the same party as Mr..

Parks we would recommend them for your

Time For Plain Talk
BY TOM BURKE

MIR EDITOR of the Toledo Times has made
Nl startling discovery He now finds that
the pattern of labor relations in national emer-
gences set out in the bill l introduced to re-
place Taft-Hartley really works. ..-.
He used lot of words in long editorial
to point out its success in the steel case. In
fact, he could only find one thing wrong with
the steel case results-it is proposed that the
workers get something The one thing found
wrong with 1t was that they Didn't get
enough
Mr. Editor probably overlooked the fact,
in his excitement, that this was accomplished
without either injunction or seizure, And just
think after all his fine arguments that iniunc-
ton is the only way out in national emergency
labor disputes.
Several weeks ago, Mr. Editor took occa
sion TO use the editorial columns of the Times
to criticize me about various and sundry
things. You know, / am beginning to believe
that he would rather have someone else in
Congress from the 9th Ohio District
In his critical editorials he contrasts me
with his paragon of political virtue, Senator
Taft In fact he points out that Senator Tsfts
newsletter reaches his desk not by virtue of
the frank, but because airmail stamp has
been lovingly licked and neatly placed on the
envelope enclosing the Senator's great journal
istic effort
Possibly, Mr. Editor has forgotten that both
the Senator and /, as we'll as all other mem
bers of Congress receive, in addition to our
franking privileges, an allowance for air mail
and special delivery stamps Could it be that
the Senator uses the air mail stamps furnished

It is because close understanding between
Britain and America is SO obviously logical
that we too often overlook its Importance We
are more critical of Britain that we are of any
other nation--just in the same way as we are
more critical of our families than of our
friends. We know them-we are proud of them
and we expect more from them.
In the same spirit we too often minimize
what Britain has done in our hopes Of what
she would do We overlook the fact that she
was the first to enter what we afterwards adj
mtted was also our war, We overlook the full
year in which she fought alone against what
seemed to be insurmountable odds. For that
dark year Britain fought alone against the
evils of the concentration camp the cremation
ovens and the murder of defenseless people.
Until Hitler turned from his invasion attempts
TO attack Russia, even that power was on Hit
ler's side, We too easily forget the bombings,
the years of darkness the privations, the losses
that her citizens have known
We have taken the attitude that the giving
was all on side. We have given-but we
knew that we must have the buffer of Britain

by this allowance?
Frankly l don't know whether he does or
not If he feels that the contents of his news
letter are of such moment that they must be
delivered to Ohio by air mail, that's his privi-
lege II Just amounts to this-Mr. Editor better
be sure his idol doesn't live in stone house,
before he starts throwing his beer glasses
around.
Another thing that Mr. Editor seems to
object to is the fact that l do what every
predecessor of mine in the 9th District as
we'll as every member of Congress, has done
since the beginning of this great nation. That
is commit the terrible crime of occasionally
coming back home.

Mr. Editor | can't win. If l come home / get
an editorial on how wicked l am for doing

editorial telling all the folks that l feared to
face my constituents Where Mr.. Editor is
concerned, / have suspicion that whatever
l do will be wrong.
occasional trips home and also on the contrast
between Mr. Editors idol, the Senator, and
myself let's do a little exploring. According
to Mr. Editor, my trips home are deep-dyed,
sinister cloak-and- dagger politics l wonder,
what are the Senator's 100 days, chugging
down the highways and byways of the great
state of Ohio?. Don't tell me, let me guess!
All ha, I'll bet that comes under the heading
of pure and undefi1ed public service. OF course
the Senator wouldn't indulge in such Grass
and crude pursuit as politics. Perish the

more than something we should merely want,
or something for which, merely in our spare
time we ought to work It is an essential to our
way of life-for whether we like it or not, no
other country is as close to our ideals and our
fundamental beliefs in the sanctity of the indi-
vidusl and the responsibility of government to
the people,
We not only have common language, but
we think alike on the basic principles of free
dom Not only is our code of laws based on
that of the British, but their Magma Charta was
the cornerstone of our own Bill of Rights, with
all that it has meant to insure justice to all
without regard to race, creed or color.
Now, If never before, should work to-
gether. Not criticizing until we know the facts,
but standing side by side. ready to swap diff
ferences of opinion and to come to friendly
understanding of each others aims prob
lens.
And when savage attacks are leveled on
Britain, when loud-mouthed demogogues try
to drive wedge between us--let us stop and
think-"Who is doing the talking? And what
nation would it help to separate America and
Britain?" Don't be led by the nose by the
masters of subversive propaganda. Let the past
be the yardstck by which we measure the
future.

They All Had A Good Time

people refused to scare, so the boys have now
dug up "statism."

The Steel Decision

THE STEEL fact-finding board wrote
Il into its report what we consider
very poor concept of the economic facts of
life and a very fine concept of industry's
responsibility for the welfare of the peo-
pie it employs.
We believe now-as we did before the
board made its report-that the steel in
dustry is in an excellent position to grant
a pay increase and that such an increase
would stimulate our economy.
The fact that the board doesn't agree
doesn't alter our position one whit.
Nobody however, should let the "no
wage increase" recommendation interfere
with his or her appreciation of the boards
position on social insurance and pensions.
This was stated by the board as
Social insurance and pensions should
be considered a part of normal business
costs to take care of temporary and per-
manent depreciation in the human ma
chine in much the same way as provision
Is made for depreciation and insurance of
plant and machinery. This obligation
should be among the first charges on
revenues"
And, the board a d d e d. "the plans
should be paid for by the employers with
out contributions by the employees"
In several portions of the report the
board pointed out that it should be the
concern of management to see to it that
workers have adequate protection against
insecurity.
In the past, trade unions have obtained
and have failed to obtain-wage IN
cresses when they thought they were en-
titled to them, but never before has gov
ernmnetal body gone quite so far in spell
ing out such broad concept of manage
ment's responsibility for the health and
security of workers
The board deserves to be commended
for not quibbling about the matter
Here, In plain language, is what 1t
said;
The steel industry should give the
same kind of attention to the "deprecia-
tion of its machines and buildings.
This idea, of course, has been advo-
Gated for years by many trade unionists
but it was never given such widespread
public and governmental attention until
the Steelworkers forced the issue.
The great industrial system TO which
we often point with much pride has its
drawbacks as we'll as its advantages. One
of the more serious of the former is the
manner in which many industries place
more emphasis on the operation of its
machines. than on the welfare of its
workers.
Too many management groups have
shown ruthless disregard for what hap
pens to workers when they become i'll,
are laid off or are retired because of their
age
Too many of them have taken the
view that their responsibility ends when
they sign checks in payment for work
already done
The steel fact-finders boldly challenged
this old concept, thus going along with
the Steelworkers and other CIO unions
The steel industry, which has won no
medals for its humanitarianism, surprised
nobody when il announced il would not
60 along willingly with the boards recon-
mendations.
Despite another mo" from an industry
which seems capable of saying nothing
else, the Steelworkers and other CIO
unions are going to make determines
fight TO translate the boards concept into
reality-into contract clauses

MANY union officials hailed
WI steel fact-finders' report
as document containing excel
lent concept of industry's re-
sponsibility for welfare of its
employees.
Steel board said, in effect,
management should set aside
funds for depreciation" of
employees in much the same
manner as it cares for depreci-
alton of machines and build
ings.
And, the board added, social
insurance and pension plans
should be paid for entirely by
employers.
This is what Steelworkers
had contended.
4 Il
Union leaders were sharply
critical of mo wage increase"
recommendation of fact-find-
ers.
Steel n d u ry, unionists
claimed, is in good position to
grant wage hike. They argued,
too, pay raise would stimulate
economy.
Fact-finders, however, took
same position as management.
Board, however, said union
would be justified in seeking
more pay if higher productiv-
ity of industry is not reflected
in lower prices.
Most newspapers gave head
line emphasis to boards mo
wage raise" recommendation
and played down portion of
report dealing with insurance
and pensions.
Later, after writers had op-
portunity to digest report,
came realization that insur-
ance-pension portion was real
bone of contention.

paint Democratic candidates

An Open Letter
To My Friends:

1 am taking this opportunity and
this medium to express my sincere
appreciation to all of you who have
asked me to throw my hat in the
ring" as a candidate for City Com
missioner. I feel that it was quite
an honor to be asked so to run.
However, I am forced, under the
circumstances, to decline your Of
fer. For your consideration my
reasons for so declining are two
fold: In the first place, I feel that
the brevity of my residence would
be a hinderance to any chance l
would have of being elected. l
choose not to waste your time and
effort in supporting me for such
futile attempt. You who know me,
realize that have been in the prac-
tice of law and have been engaged
in community and civic work for
only a very short time. Not too
many persons know me we'll enough
to vote for me. The shortneSS of
nv residence in Phoenix bears di-
rectly upon my chances OF winning
an office, in this manner. Frankly,
I am uninformed regarding the
problems with which you and I are
confronted with in this community.
It is my opinion that one who runs
for a public office certainly should
know something, much more than
I, about the needs and demands of
the group that he is to represent.
My friends, I must admit am mot
now educated along those lines, the
reason for that is simple: haven't
been here long enough. To sum
this matter up in a few simple
words, we can put it this way; I
am not now qualified. A man who
is not qualified to represent you
will do you more harm than good.
But there is a more basic reason
why 1 decline to run. That is, the
practical politics involved. Shortly
