all states, despite the fact that
Ohio is only 35th in area. Coal
is the chief mineral product, with
Ohio usually ranking fifth among
leading states. Our state ranks
18th in gas production and 18th in
oil. For many years, Ohio has led
the field in the production of clay

second largest producer of lime
stone and the leading lime produc-
ing state. The deepest limestone
mine in the world is in Ohio. Salt
is present under large areas of the
State, both in the form of brines
and of rock salt. Sand and gravel,
sandstone, silica, gypsum and peat
also are produced in quantity.

Danger Turks
Behind Barn Door

Danger turks behind every barn
door-but sometimes you have to
be looking for trouble to find it!
If you invited w. E. Stuckey,
farm safety specialist at Ohio
State University, to visit your
farm, he would start looking for
trouble-and chances are he would
find it in the barn.
Finding and correcting the dan
ger spots, he says, will make barn
chores safer and easier. To help
you locate these hazards, he makes
these suggestions, all of which
have been endorsed by the Ma
tional Safety Council.
Check your barn for loose OBJ
jects or things that may cause
falls-high door sills, abrupt
changes in floor levels, weak
boards, protruding cleats or other
tripping hazards. Do some house
cleaning and set things in order
if the alleywaNs or work areas are
obstructed with feed, tools, har-
ness, feed carts or other obstacles.
See that dangerous corners and
work centers are well-lighted.
Avoid storing loose materials over
head and keep forks and other
equipment in safe places.
Loft doors, feed chutes and lad
ders need special attention. A
stairway that is hand-railed and
kept clean provides the safest and
easiest passage to hay mows.
Stairwells used as feed chutes are
dangerous because loose hay or
straw makes footing uncertain.
Separate feed chutes with guards
above the loft floor are desirable.
If a ladder is used, see that it
extends well above the loft floor.
1t should also have well-spaced
stout rungs that are placed far
enough from the wall for secure
footing.

Steelworkers.
The Fortune article also reports
a claimed circulation for the labor
press of "20 million to 80 million.
What that statistic means, how
ever, no one seems to know. g..
The defenders of the labor press
see it as mounting force against
the distortion of news by the com
mercial press; its detractors pic
ture it mostly as an unread, sleazy,
scissors-and-paste-pot job, harping
with shrill Johnny-one-note on
the Grimes of business"
The article adds that the labor
press sis not the uniformly black
propaganda cloud occasionally con-
jured up by promoters to frighten
business men into spending sums
for 'counterpropaganda'. Certainly
its total circulation is matched by
that of US company house organs"

family members-to supply hi!
family with the living standards o.
our modern era.
But even this comparison does
mot do justice to the vast change ir
the circumstances of the American
working man. His and his family'S
requirements and living standards
are so much higher than those OF
80, 20 or even 10 years ago that
any comparison falls flat. The fac
ilities and luxuries within his
reach - automobile, refrigerator
washing machine, and the hundred
and one pieces of household and
mechanical equipment = were un-
dreamed Of not only by the workers
but by the overwhelming majority
of employers and rich people as
well.
Much as | admire the ingenuity
of the boys doing their daily stint
in the squirrel cages of Washing
ton, it is high time to expose their
distortions. They go well with a
recent report of congressional
committee which estimated the in
come of one-third of the nations
families at less than $4,000 per
year. Specifically the income of
half of Americas farm families
3.3 millions-was given at less than
$4,000, and of an additional IL
million families at less than 81 600.
However, what the report took
great pains to conceal was the most
important income element of these
families - food, shelter, etc. - in
other words, their non-cash income.
The report also bypassed those who
are retired from active work and
have supplementary incomes in
kind, such as home ownership, sup
port from their families, or who
own small tracts in suburban or
rural sections that supply their
needs. Thus an upside-down picture
has been painted which however
false is likely to play an important
role in the coming elections.
So much for government statis-
ties and the attempts of the politi-
clans and their bureaucratic words
to fool all of the people all of the
time.
The security and welfare of Am
erica, an observer recently noted,
are placed in greater jeopardy to-
day by slanted, distorted, dishonest
statistics than by all
the potential Russian spies in ourl
midst. When vast government
spending programs and major So
cial policies are based on deliber-
ately misleading statistics, mas
querading as facts the American
people have no way of reaching
sound conclusions How many
other fraudulent studies have been
served up to the American to bolst- |
er Administration demands for in
creasing federal control and the
of our social program
no one really knows except the per-
petrators thereof"
To all of which | say Amen.

News and Views
By ALEXANDER S. LIPSETT, Gan ILNS Feature)

| Last week this column elaborat
ed on some facts of our economic
life, facts unfortunately little
known or obscured by people who
ought to know better. Today let's
prick another balloon, this time
launched by government and in.
tended to scare the bejeepers out
of the citizenry.
According to the U. S. Labor De-
lpartment, the average weekly wage
of a manufacturing worker rose by
130 percent in the past decade; his
purchasing power, however, due to
tax deductions, declining value OF
the dollar, ETC., was only one-third
above that of 1899. If we are to be-
lieve the department, the real wage
gain of married man with two
dependent children was only 1881
over the course of 10 years.
Now it seems hardly necessary
to explain what is wrong with this
brew of government figures. Per
sonal experience demonstrates daily
to the American worker how in
finitely better off he is today as
compared to 10 years ago; his real
earnings and living standards have
improved far beyond the narrow
one third limit established by
Washington. This, from my own
point of view, is as it should be.
But why government should find
it necessary to play down the gains
of which the working people them
selves are well aware is a phenom-
enon best left to psychiatrists. Per-
haps they, delving into the recesses
of the bureaucratic mind, might
find an explanation.
X !. !.
What is wrong with these official
They are inaccurate and
dishonest because they ignore in
the first place the steadiness and
even excessiveness of employment
during the 1939-1949 decade over
any previous period. Second, the
time required to purchase
a given amount of goods and Ser
vices today is much lower than in
dicated by the departmental yard
stick of only one-third gain in real
wages.
The factory worker of 1948, a re-
cent survey of the National Indus
trial Conference Board pointed out,
needed to work only half the length
of time his grandfather or father
back in 1914 had to in order to pay
the family bills. While the wage
Garner of 80 years ago worked at
least 81 hours a week and needed
the additional income from family
members to make ends meet, the
worker of 1948 had to work only
81 hours-and without help from

erred press conference for LPA or
his way home.
Robertson knew, and was known
by, hundreds in Washington. He
counted Cabinet heads, presidential
advisers, members Of Congress
heads Of government agencies and
labor leaders as his personal
friends. He guided not only new
conner reporters in Washington, but
was often Of inestimable service to
freshmen members Of Congress.
Tributes by the score poured into
the office of LPA on the news Of
his death. Typical was this state
ment by Carroll Fitzpatrick of the
San Francisco Chronicle, who had
known Robertson for 10 years:
There was never a more honest
or more honorable newspaperman
than Nathan Robertson. And there
have been few who have worked sc
diligently in the public interest
He was completely selfless and
in his determination to up
hold the highest standards of his
profession"
Vance Johnson, also of the Sar
Francisco Chronicle, who worked
with Robertson on many stories
said, Il always found his ahead OF
the crowd in getting underneath
the surfac2 and finding out wha
the score really was. His passing
is distinct loss not only to hi.
friends but to his profession. Nat,
was one of the most conscientious
able, and energetic Of the Wash
Ington correspondents"
Robertson was the son Of Mr.. anC
Mrs. Thomas Z. Robertson. Hi.
father was formerly Commissioner
of Patents. He is survived by his
wife, Elizabeth; a son, Donald, Is

ege; and daughter, Judith, Is
