THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Today begins Employ-the Physically
Handicapped week. During the next sew
eral days. drive urging employers to hire
the handicapped will be conducted both
nationally and locally
In view of the Tightening labor mar
ket. this years campaign should be a sue
cessful one Demands of the armed forces
have already been felt in some businesses
and trades and it is expected that the ex-
pansion OF war industries will create even
greater shortages in skilled categOries as
the defense program is stepped up
Many employers have Handicapped
ally since World War H-that it is good
business to hire the handicapped. Person.
mel managers agree that this group of
workers has shown itself to be highly proA
ductive and exceptionally stable. OF the
millions of veterans hired since the last
war, those with disabilities proved highest
in the qualities of consciousness and
Suitability
In these days of specialization, there
are few jobs that can not be filled as well
by persons with physical disabilities as
they can by the physically perfect. 1t is
common knowledge that may deaf, dumb,
or blind persons nave, as a result of their
handicaps, sharpened their other senses to
remarkable degrees. Similarly. a one-arm-
ed person frequently develops rare skill
IN his remaining limb for work that does
not necessarily require two hands
Approximately seven million physi-
cally handicapped workers in the United
States are gainfully employed Another
million are without jobs. If all employers
could be educated to the fact that it is
economically sound to hire the handicap
ped. labor shortage could be avoided or
at least alleviated, and one of this ma
tons sorest ills would be remedied.

ECLIPsEs AND HUMAN BEINGS

The eclipse OF the moon, witnessed
this week, passed off quietly, without
anybody becoming alarmed over the pros
pect that the world was coming to an
end.
That is, the people of the United
States We're not alarmed What would be
the reaction of the semi-civilized peoples
in various parts of the world at such a
spectacle IS unknown, but we must not
overlook the fact that not so many cen
turtles ago, the most intelligent people on
the face of the earth would have looked
upon the eclipse as a sign of the anger of
the gods
The human race has come a long
way in the process of learning the mech
anics of the universe. It has much longer
way to 60 The intelligence that we have
amasSed is not to be considered the final
word because the probability IS that the
best intelligence of the day is still crop
ing IN the dark about many important
matters.

co TO THE POLLS

An important contest is being con-
Quoted by the American Press, a public
alton devoted to the affairs of country
newspapers The purpose of the contest
is to get-out-the-vote
Participants are rural newspapers
Awards will be given to those weekly news
papers, semi-weekly and tri-weekly news
papers which, in the opinion of competent
judges, do the most between now and Nova
ember to stimulate voting in their COM
munities
The editors OF American Press have
undertaken fine project. 1t is gratifying
to note that the contest is receiving wide
congressional endorsement. The comment
of Senator A. Willis Robertson of Virginia
is typical: Il congratulate the American
Press on its sponsorship of contest which
will give recognition to weekly or other
rural newspaper which does the most bed
tween now and November to get out the
vote in this years election There never
has been time in our history when it was
more essential for all of the people to acc
eept the obligation of citizenship-and
certainly is a primary function of our
free press ~
The thousands of country newspapers
scattered throughout the length and
breadth of the land are a powerful force
for free expression that will always come

an asset possessed by no other nation.

ALASKA MANY CENTURIES AGO

Much of the thinking of man is direct
ed to the effort of ascertaining what the
future holds, in store and some of it e
given to.sthe task of discovering what
happened on the globe before recorded
history began.
Along the latter line, an early settle
ment has been discovered in Alaska,
where an archaeological expedition has
unearthed between 1000 and 5000 OBJ
jects in Northwest Alaska.
1t is interesting to note that the ex-
perts say that the razor-edged stone cut
ting tools found in Alaska are of a type
used nsAisia up to about 1000 B. C. and
that jasper blades closely resemble weap-
ons used in the Old World as long as
10000 years ago.
The experts, however, do not assert
that the settlements were existent that
long ago because they recognize that the
stone-cutting tools may have been used
in Alaska long after their disappearance
I'm other parts of the world. They feel.
however, that they have located "a def
mite link between ancient peoples in the
Old World and the earliest known peo-
pies in this hemisphere" They think
that the articles discovered are evidence
to support the long-held theory that the
first settlers in the New World migrated
from Asia across the Boring Straits.
There is no way of telling, of course.
whether this conclusion is correct or not
Nobody knows yet what may be discov-
cred in other parts of the Western Hem,
isphere, where little exploratory work
has been done. It may be established. in
time, that man was operating on the
American continents much longer than
we suspect. In fact, it is quite certain
that the age of man, like the age of the
earth, is much older than we formerly
suspected.

Two Thrown Out Of GIN
Are Held as Subversives
BY the Associated Press

LINDEN, N. j., Aug. 1.-Two
men who were thrown out of the
General Motors plant by fellow
workers after distributing leftist
leaflets were held under $4,000
bail yesterday on charges of sub
VerSive activity.
Magistrate Lester A. Simandl
fixed bail at $4,000 on each Of
three counts against Calvin de
Filippis of Lyndhurst.
Simandl said: II believe there is
evidence that the loyalty of these
defendants is not with this coun-
try but with the Communists. This
is not the time for divided 10y
atty"
Bail was set at $1,000 on each
of two complaints against Louis
Fischer of Elizabeth.
Both faced action by the Union
County grand jury. The COM
plants were made under State
statute of 1918, forbidding SUBJ
versive activities.

State. Yet what we do. ranging
from ore processing to producing
weapons componentS, is what is
done by a corporate form in in
dustry."
Lists Administrative Reasons.
Mr.. Wilson said there could be
Ihe ad commIasfon usE to- toward .I beeom1ng n ot
management committee. He
cited these:
/. That the general manager
was not doing a good job. CThe
commission ruled this out itself
in the statement it issued prais-
ing him when he resignedO
2. The assumption by Congress
that every commissioner should
know all that is going on. This
was emphasized a year ago, when
the joint committee investigated
the charge of incredible misman-
agement" brought by Senator
Hickenlooper, Republican, OF
Iowa. The committee rejected
the charge as not subStantiated.
3. That unless the commission
ers believe that focusing RESPONSE
bility at one point and delegating
authority below that point is the
successful way of operating, the
development of the commission as
a management committee is likely
to follow.
For the first couple of years, he
said, the commission operated
with a single point of response
bility. Then some restrictions
Congress applied tended to foster
the management committee de-
velopment. He gave as examples
of these restrictions legislative
riders governing construction,
cutting down fees for the man
agement of communities and re-
quiring "lots of red tape if bids
| for work exceeded estimates in
budgets drawn up six months to a
year earlier.
The trend to which Mr.. Wilson
objects began late last year, he
said. 1t was also late last year
that David E. Lilienthal submit
ted his resignation as chairman.
IT happen to believe that Lllien-
thai is an extraordinarily COM
petent administrator with great
understandings" Mr.. Wilson said
MY estimate of Dean is differ
ent. But I don't believe Lilienthal
is the only man who could handle
this"
Mr.. Wilson conceded the rela-
tionship between the Acc ano
the joint committee is a difficult
one.
"On the one hand, if the rela-
tionship is hostile it certainly
handicaps the progress of the
program, he said. Such handi-
cap resulted from last years in
vestigation, he believes.
"On the other hand" Mr.. Will
son continued, "a relationship
which is too close may have much
greater disadvantages"

ARMED Forces Begin
Checking Loyalty Of
Bridges Union Men
BY the Assoeiaied Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. IL
The Government says Harry
Bridges should be kept in jail
because the right of free speech
doesn't protect an enemy agent
in time of armed conflict"
And the armed forces today
took steps to subject to loyalty
checks all members of Bridges
CIO longshore union who work on
Army and Navy docks.
Government arguments were
placed before the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals yester-
day. The court is weighing sew
eral motions by Bridges attorneys
to free him on bail.
Conviction Awaiting Review.
He was on bail after his per-
jury conviction last April until
Saturday when Federal Judge
George B. Harris-at the Gov
ernment's request-revoked the
bail and labelled him menace
to the security of the United
States.
The conviction is awaiting re-
view before the appeals court.
Bridges lawyers have argued
that he was jailed for his "opin-
ions"
While he was free, Bridges re-
peatedly made speeches opposing
the United States war effort in
Korea.
5000 Will Be Checked.
Yesterday. the Government de-
clared:
This is the case of a person
swearing falsely that he was not a
member of the Communist party
Then, after conviction for per-
jury and while the United States
is engaged in armed conflict with
Communist adverSaries, actively
