If You Can't Read
Maybe You Should
Become 4 Boss

New York (LPA)-You're really
going to have to spell things out
for your boss if DR.. Murray Lin
coin Miller is right.
DR.. Miller, chief of reading inn
provement at the Air University,
Maxwell Field, Montgomery, Ala,
says bosses can't read much better
than NEAR illiterates."
"When we tested the reading
ability of Air Force officers we
were shocked" DR.. Miller told a
meeting of the American Manage
ment Association here Nov. /.
"But we got over that when we
tried the same tests on doctors,
lawyers, and business executives
they were even worse"
He said executives read only 800
to $50 words a minute because they
still move their lips mentally-they
should read $50 words a minute,
speed which can be attained with
training. These speeds are not
reached by skimming, and fast
readers remember what they read
better than slow readers, DR.. Mill
er said.
He suggested reading courses
for executives. "They need it
most" he said, because they need
to do more reading and to compre-
hefd better"
Must have been thinking about
union contracts.

Buchanan Says Union Will
Resent Left Wing Slur

Washington (LPA)-The Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen anc
the United Mine Workers will be
mighty resentful at being calico
"left wing" organizations, Rep
Frank Buchanan Cd, Pa.) believes
Buchanan is chairman of the House
Select Committee on Lobbying Ac-
tivities.
What stirred Buchanan was the
charge by his committees Repub.
lican minority that the Public AT.
fairs Institute, one of the groups
Investigated by the lobby probers
was a pressure group financed by
left-wing organizations"
Fact is, the Public Affairs Insti-
tute, a Washington organization
which studies economic and social
issues, obtains it's principal finan-
cial backing from the Trainmen
Buchanan points out. In addition
the PAL has obtained support from
the Mine Workers, the Typograp-
hical union, the Teamsters, the
Musicians and the Carpenters,
None of these unions can be des-
cribed as cleft wing" Buchanan
points out.
The Republican minority was
angered by the interim report is
sued by the Lobby Committees
four-man majority. The report was
sharply critical of such groups as
the ultra-reactionary Committee
for Constitutional Government,
whose spokesman refused to iden-
tify his chief hackers. The major
ity should have pounced on the
Public Affairs Institute too, the
COP members felt. They were
especially critical because the PAL
was not a registered lobby.
But apparently the COP minor
ity didn't pay much attention to
Dewey Anderson, PAL director,
when he appeared before the COM
mittee in July, observers here say.
Anderson declared he would be per-
fectly willing to register if the
lobby registration law were amend
ed to include such research insti-
tutions as the PAL. In addition, he
presented an eloquent plea for leg
islation requiring full disclosure of
all groups attempting to influence
Congress for public opinion.
Buchanan makes mincemeat of a
charge by the Republican minority
that they never had chance to
study the interim report before it
was issued. Says Buchanan: "The
original draft of this report was
submitted to all members of the
committee as long ago as last
August. 1t was discussed in execu-
tive session, and suggested changes
were advanced by both minority
and majority members. 1t is there
fore difficult for me to understand
what the minority members mean
when they say they have not had
time to read the report thorough
ly."
Republican objectors were Reps.
Clarence Brown (Ohio), Charlie
Halleck (Ind), and Joseph O'Hara
(Minn.).

PUERTO RICAN FARM HANDS
GET TAKEN BY RACKETEERS

Trenton, N. j. (LPA) = The
Puerto Rican farm hands who
came to this country this summer
to work in the fields have had a
lot of trouble. First, thousands of
them in Michigan got stuck with
low wages and bad working and
living conditions. Now, in New
Jersey, 100 of them got fleeced of
$50 each by two flashily dressed
men who guaranteed them jobs at
an Illinois steel mill. The money
was for transportation. The strang-
ers showed the farm hands con-
tract which ugaranteed them ex-
emption from military service if
they went to the mill, which is non
existent. The workers had just fin
ished harvesting the crop in the
Glassboro, n. j. area.

Labor Denounces
Longer Work Week
Without Overtime

Washington (LPA) - Organized
labor has turned thumbs down on
the 45-hour work week proposed by
General Motors President C. E.
Wilson. Labor is willing and ready
to contribute to the defense effort,
but industry can afford to pay
overtime for the longer work sched-
ule, labor leaders point out.
Wilson's suggestion that over
time pay start at 45 hours during
the current emergency, instead of
the 40 hours now provided by fed
eral law, was offered as one way
of solving the manpower shortage.
. The average work week for the
nations 12,900,000 product t i o n
workers has been running we'll over
41 hours since midsummer. Union
spokesmen pointed out that labor
costs drop as the workweek length
ems, and pointed to World War III
records as proof that even with
heavy overtime there is no increase
in production costs.
An AFL representative recalled
that the recent AFL convention in
Houston pigeon-holed a resolution
for the 30-hour week, as a conces-
sion to defense needs.
+ United Auto Workers voiced i'm
mediate opposition to the proposal.
"There is nothing in the federal
wage and hour act or in UAW con-
tracts to prevent industries from
working more than 40-hour week
in order to meet civilian and de-
fense requirements" said Secre-
tary- Treasurer Emil Macy.
"What General Motors President
Wilson proposes is simply that
workers should work five hours
more each week without being paid
for the overtime as required by
law and contract.
"The UAW has pointed out twice
this month that auto and auto parts
manufacturers profits have reach
ed scandalous proportions. If sus-
tanned overtime becomes necessary
certainly those profits are more
than enough to meet the bill with
out any price increase either to the
government or to individual car
buyers"
Macy expressed the opinion that
credit restrictions, which have cut
car sales; steel and other material
shortages; and lack of defense
orders, "all point to layoffs and .un-
employment, and not to man.
power shortage-for at least con-
siderable time yet"

Steel Moguls Still Johnny
One-Note About SHORTAGES

Washington (LPA) - Some bis
industrialists have finally put tn,
finger on the steel industry for it:
failure to deliver the goods.
General Motors Presid e
Charles E. Wilson hit punch like
the old-time Joe Louis ones Oct. q
when he charged the industry doe:
not shave enough confidence in the
country to expand adequately
Since the end of World War III
government economists have beer
making the same complaint on be-
half of the American people.
When a man like Wilson Jumps
into the fray on the side opposing
them, the steel moguls are in nc
position to cry "crackpot New
Dealer" as they have been doing all
along. They merely try to explain
to him, very very publicly, that
he's mistaken"
Expansion figures most recently
put forward by the industry are
bigger than ever before, but moi
big enough. And their arguments
against expanding further have ar
old familiar ring.
They cut back after World War
ii because they said they didn't
want to be stuck with a big plant
when business conditions returned
to normal" In 1948, President
Truman got tough and warned that
if industry didn't build plants, the
government would. Shortly after
that, they got taken off the hook
by an economic recession, that cut
the demand for steel.
Last July, after the Korean
fighting started, the industry an
nounced a 100000 ton expansion
program. They denied any more
would be needed. Then the heat
was put on again, and last month
they came forth with voluntary
program to increase capacity by
100000 tons a year. They are
willing to do this, they say, if the
government will write off their
plant depreciation at the rate of
20 percent a year for five years.
(This will save them millions in
taxes.) The government is willing
Commerce S tary Charles
Sawyer has applauded this plan,
which will bring the nations steel
producing capacity to l09,000,O00
tons by 1853. Two other govern
ment spokesmen, however, Agri-
culture Undersecretary Clarence j..
Mccormick and Assistant Interior
Secretary C. Girard Davidson, say
it's not nearly enough to meet the
country's needs.
Production the last week in Oct
ober broke all records. Mills were
operating at 1925 percent of capa
city. Men and machines continued
to be pushed beyond the amount
they were supposed to be able to
turn out.
Even at this breakneck speed,
steel orders continued to pour in
faster than they could be met. The
National Production Authority had
issued priority orders for defense
equipment. II had also earmarked
10000 tons a month for repair
and production of freight cars, and
planned to issue similar "DO"
orders for oil and gas pipelines.
On Oct. 20, William T, Farley,
president of the Association of
American Railroads, warned that
the roads will probably ask NPA
for more steel, to build locomotives
and replace rails.
Civilian manufacturers can't get
the steel they want.
A special subcommittee on pre-
paredness, headed by Sen. Lyndon
Johnston Cd, Tex is Investigating
the steel situation. The Senate
group is due to issue its report
early in December.

Bear Opens Season on
Men, Ends In Disaster

Dr. Joseph Shelton and Keith
Lenhart know that grizzly bears
are out of season but there was
one grizzly last Wednesday af-
ternoon that decided that there
was an open season on men.
The results were disastrous for
the bear.
The two men had been check
ing out DR.. Skeletons seaplane
when they saw a black bear.
DR.. Shelton had rifle in the
plane so they landed on the
closest lake to the bear and
started hiking. When couple
of miles from the lake they
saw what they presumed to be
a brownie in the distance, but
no blacks anywhere. They turn
ed and headed back to the plane.
The bear had evidently seen
them also and suddenly the men
were most astonished to see it
ambling toward them, raising
its head and shoulders up and
out of the brush every now and
then for a better look.
The men stood still. DR.. Shell
ton said, "Now, bear, that's far
enough The bear kept on COM
ing DR.. Shelton raised his rifle,
at the same time warning the
bear that life would be more
healthy for it elsewhere The
bear kept coming.
When about 100 feet from the
men, the bear lowered its head
and charged like freight train.
DR.. Shelton dropped it with a
bullet through its head. The
bear Tipped end over end and
DR.. Shelton put another shot
into it. That was. all as far as
the bear was concerned.
The men measured the carcass
and found it to be over 8 feet
long and that it was grizzly
instead of a brownie.

to Alaska last November and

Suppose a man paid taxes ac-
cording to his individual con-
science and nothing else? What
then? A minute few would pay
more than their share. A very
few would give what they pay now;
but the vast majority would pay so
little Gf any that the government
coud not function.
Now God demands worship, and
it would seem to the Catholic that
subjective private judgment is just
as unreliable and self-favoring ir.
determining the amount of Wor-
ship God requires as in determin-
ing the amount of taxes a man
should pay his government.
Yes, God demands worship, but
who's to determine how much wor-
ship a man must give to God in
order to save his soul?
The Catholic claims to have the
answer - simle, logical, authorira-
tive. And this is it:
God knows the uncertainty ana
elasticity of the human conscience,
so when He gave man His revealed
truths, He founded a church, not
only to safeguard and interpret
those truths, but to guide His chill
dren in the use of those truths. To
accomplish this He gave His
Church the power and duty to
make its own laws in conformity
with His divine plan.
1t seems to us logical that God
would do this. 1t seems to us certain
that He did do it, in view of His
own words in the Scriptures. To

James Bible: Christ said to HIS

The
G.adGs Booker
BY Mildred Kirkpatrick

What are we going to do about
our young people and the liquor
question? A young man was
sentenced to six months in Jail,
with three months of that time
suspended, this week upon his
admission of having transported
beer outside the city limits and
serving it to juveniles.
1t is a shame, that this has
happened to blot the good juve-
nile record of Seward. Although
young himself, still this young
fellow is an adult in years, and
was perfectly aware that he
was committing serious Of
Tense in serving liquor or beer
to teenagers. He knew it, he
defied the law, he was caught
and must serve his sentence.
That however, does not clear
the parents of teenage children
who were at the party from
moral completely. Somewhere,
somehow, something has gone
wrong in our scheme of things,
when our children must resort
to clandestine drinking parties
for amusement.
This is not a situation that
can be laughed off. Almost all
the parents of teenage children
in Seward are connected in
some way with this now famous
party, because of the number of
young people involved. Many
families are shocked and angry
with their youngsters for having
thus Inundated them. Others
would not believe until confront
ed with the evidence.
Don't blame the kids too
much. The parents of teenagers
can one and all remember SINH
lar capers of their own, and
have probably talked about
them before the youngsters. The
shameful part of the whole deal
is that youngsters have to hide
out for their fun because there
is not enough entertainment in
town.
This column went into the
recreation situation at great
length some time ago, and can
only reiterate that there is not
enough opportunity for recrea-
ton in Seward. So far as l can
see, there is one solution, an ex-
pensive one, truly, but surely
not as expensive as the ruin Of
our youngsters.
The Police are doing all in
their power to prevent the kids
from buying liquor and beer,
but still they get it somehow.
They cannot wait to grow up
so they can enjoy the pleasures
that the elders so evidently
treat themselves to. If it were
not so much fun, why would
so many parents be openly
