Can You Imagine Anything
More C0ckeyed?

friend, John Henderson, has sent
me from his home in Newton
Highlands, Massachusetts, a
Boston newspaper article giving
Bernard M. Baruch's views on
aging and retirement.
NO previous civilization has
ever enjoyed such a maturing,
healthy population, Baruch
told his interviewer. How won
derful an asset if properly used
How tragic a liability if abused !"
Baruch declared that with mems
increasing length Of life, and
their strength in what used to
be considered Old age but Is not
old age any longer, the retire
ment age should be set at
higher level
Baruch, vigorous and keen at
79, is himself a proof Of the
folly Of retiring men arbitrarily
at a certain age. He is only one
Of thousands upon thousands Of
men who have kept on working
efficiently after they have
reached 10. Every community in
the land has such men.
It would seem that there ought
TO be more sense about this sub
ject in universities and colleges
than elsewhere, since they are
supposed 70 be run by persons Of
higher than average intelligence.
But universities and colleges
have been conspicuously foelish
in their retirement policies. And
] doubt if any 0ns Of them has
made q worse exhibition Of
itself in this respect than the
University Of North Carolina.
Consider this, for example:
DR. Milton j. Rosenau was re-
tired in 1895, at the age Of sc,
as professor Of preventive medi-
cine and hygiene in the Harvard
University medical school. He
became, that fall, director Of
the newly created division of
public health in the University
Of North Carolina. He served in
that capacity for five years, and
when the division became the
school Of public health in 1910
he became the schools dean. He
was then ~. He was director of
the school for the two years
194l-43. He became dean again
in l943. He stayed on active
duty till April, 1916, when he
died at the age Of II. DR.. Rose
nau rendered excellent service
TO the University of North
Carolina, and everybody knew
that the University was fortu-
nate TO have him.
Yet, this last year the Uniyer-
sity retired" that is, turned
off, men because of ageD who
were several years younger than
DR.. Rosenau was when he finally
left active duty. If you are
puzzled as to why DIR. Rosenau
was eligible for work here after
70 and these other men were
not, will give you the reason.
1t has nothing TO do with these
mems fitness for work as COM
pared with his fitness. He 4OGs
eligible for W0yk here and then
fCeye not because he had been IN
the faculty of another institss-
ttOn and they had been In the
fGcHltg Of the University here.
Can you imagine anything more
cOckeyed? If you didn't know it
was true, you couldn't conceive
OF @ States or an institutions
following such an idiotic policy.
Ia defense Of the UniVersity's
turning of men obviously fit to
knen on doing good work. some

interpreted as blast at Federal
Security Administrator Oscar

The association also voted to
place all health and medical care
programs under official State
agencies charged with such re-
sponsibilities. 1t was pointed out
that in some States medical serv-
ices are scattered indiscriminately
throughout various departments
instead of coming directly under

Health Officers Asoi Compulsory Plan and Cut in H. Grants

Compulsory health insurance
and cuts in Federal grants for
hospital construction and health
purposes were condemned today
in resolutions adopted by the As
sociation of State and Territorial
Health officers.
The association adopted 18 re-
solutions as it ended a five-day
meeting at the Federal Security
Agency Building. Also adopted
were recommendations of the
Civil Defense Committee and
other committees.
This is the second year the as
sociation has gone on record
against compulsory health in

present health services and the
expansion of voluntary insurance
plans eventually will meet the
needs of the people.
Asks Restoration of Cuts.
The association called on Con-

Another resolution called for
establishment of a Department

Safety: Fires"
Firemen said the blaze was con-
fined to a bedroom on the second
floor. 1t apparently was started
in the bed. possibly by a cigarette.
They could give no estimate of
damage.
They were delayed several min
utes in responding to the fire be-
cause the first alarm did not give
any street address. The fire dis
patcher was tracing the call when
a box was pulled, giving them the
exact location.
Third Floor Affected.
Flames in the warehouse were
confined to storage space of the
Aircraft Industries, Inc, which
occupies the third floor.
Firemen managed to move desks
and chairs stored by the school
board on the second floor before
water seeping through the ceiling
damaged them. The furniture is
for the new Stratford Junior High
School.
The three-story warehouse at
1926 North Quincy street was fin
ally acquired by the School Boaro
earlier this month after County
Treasurer John Locke Green un-
successfully tried to prevent the
transaction.
James E. Mckinley, H. an en-
ploye of the Edward Baker
Frosted Foods Co. which is on
the second floor, and another un-
identified employe of that firm
discovered the fire when they
noticed smoke as they reported
for work about $50 am. today
F'iremen at first were hampered
by thick smoke, caused by some
tins of oil that exploded and some
rubber insulators which burned.
They used gas masks to 60 into
the building, and brought, the
flames under control within an
hour.
The first floor of the building is
occupied by the Hollinger Co.,
which makes wooden boxes.
The school board eventually
plans to use the whole warehouse,
but assumed several leases when
it bought the building. Mr.. Green
sued to prevent the purchase be-
cause he said school bond money
should not be used for the build
ing, but the court ruled against
him. The building is of cement
and cinder block construction, and
virtually flreproof except for in
terror trimmings and furnishings

US. Steel Opens Talks
With Clio That Will SET
Industry Pay Pattern

Wage negotiations of a possible
far-reaching impact on the Ma
tion's economy and Government
efforts to head off initiation began
today between the CIO Steelwork-
ers and the United States Steel
Corp.
Interest centered on the meet
ing because United States Steel,
with 155 900 production and main
tenance employees, normally sets
the wage pattern for the steel
industry. In turn the steel in
dustry'S wage pattern often is
reflected in many other indus
tries that are users of steel.
Negotiations of the steel work
ers' union with other companies
have been postponed pending the
outcome of the United States
Steel meetings. Those with Beth
lehem Steel, the country's second
largest producer, have been ad-
journed until November /.
Will Raise Prices.
Bethlehem chairman, E. G.
Grace, made it clear yesterday
that the company will raise its
prices if wage increases are grant,
ed to the steelworkers.
His comment came at a news
conference in New York after the
corporation reported a record
high net income of $90,8O4,414 for
the first nine months of 1850 and
its directors voted a 50 a share
dividend paid to common stock
holders December l.

put, according to meat industry
economist, Carl H. Wilkins. Ee
said a study indicates consumers
will demand an average of 155 to

least 5 more than the Agriculture
Department expects farmers to
produce.

Senate Profits Tax Bill
Nearly Completed
BY the Associated Press


The Senate Finance Committee
drove today for a quick windup of
it's job of writing multi-billion
dollar excess profits tax bill.
Chairman George told reporters
he hopes his committee can COM
plete by nightfall-or tomorrow at
the latest-its revision of the
House-passed measure. He said
he sees little likelihood of any
drastic reduction in the $3.4 billion
flrst-year revenues aimed for by
the House.
Republican committee members
planned eleventh-hour efforts to
revise the measure but conceded
they had little hope of winning.
Senator Butler. Republican, of
Nebraska told reporters he wants
the bill amended to impose a
milder excess profits tax, but to
boost the combined normal income
tax and surtax rate for corpora
tons from As per cent to a new
level of so per cent. Such a
change, he said, could raise the
81 billions Mr.. Truman has asked
Congress to vote in an excess
profits tax alone.
