COMMUNICATION

Editor Empire,
 Dear Sir:
 Wish you would publish this: An open letter to Mir. Frank Metcalf, Territory Highway Engin- eer:
 A few weeks ago I wrote you letter, an honest letter and meant every word of it. The other day, l opened tEe paper and saw where you had published an answer to it. I wonder, MT Metcalf, if you had the same smile on your face when you answered the Legislatures questions? I am still sure the women would make good on the Highway patrol, at least they would be very glad to draw from four hundred to five hundred month for doing the awful hard work your patrolmen do, and have plen- ty of time left over for hunting and fishing. Look, Bunny-duck, l am not mad at the patrolmen, only at you, for being so smart and snug in answering my letter; but, I am dam sure I will do my very best to obey all traffic rules and regulations from now on.
 Sincerely,
 (signed) Josephine Bonkowski
 Haines, Alaska
 P. S.-Some day I may tell you to your face what Bunny Duck is.
 The above relates to a letter to Metcalf in which the request was made for woman on the Highway Patrol Staff.

 The villages that overrun and reduced to ashes in the recent today the centers of the most fervent celebrations of Greece's Independence Day Greece has paid high price to keep this hoi- day and is ready to pay it again. No action has yet been taken proposals to include Greece and Turkey in the Atlantic Defense organization but the Greeks are proud of the tributes paid to the vigor of the people and the stamina of their army by General Eisenhower and General Hoyt Vandenberg. They are spending 45 per cent of the national budget on mill tary preparedness and have offered to increase their present army of 14700O to 500000 if the neces- sity arises.
 As one small nation that has stood the test of Communist invasion, from without and within the Greeks have manifested the will to national inde- pendence and earned the aid they have received from this county in their Homerc battle to preserve t. In or out of the Atlantic Pact, they are sure to re- ceive further aid if the attack is renewed On their Independence Day they have right to feel that they have fought their way to the vanguard of the free peoples and to be assured that the rest of the free world recognizes the debt they to the tough little warriors who held the front line against heavy odds.

Philadelphia convention in 1948- the same year Truman was reel ected. Thus he is a political oppo- nent, as wei as a military subor- dinate.
 2. Macarthur maintains his own personal publicity representative inside the Republican National Committee Brig. Gen. Bonner Eel lers. Gen. Fellers is in frequer contact with COP leaders on Cap itol Hill, helps to plant speechee in the House and Senate.
 ssN33 5. Macarthur has the vigorous support of some of the most pow erful leaders of the Republican par ty, has entertained many of the nations leading publishers, is the personal friend of Hugh Baillies head of the far-reaching United Press: also of Roy Howard, whose Scripps- Howard chain newspapers and United Press are controlled by the same interests. And it is obvious to the casual newspaper reader from the special, copyrighted inter views issued by MacArthur to his friends, that his press treatment is # a nature equalled by few other public figures-certainly not by Truman.
 The result nas been that some Truman advisers have wanted their chief to fire the 71-year-old Mac Arthur on the ground that he was long past retirement age and was paying more attention to politics than to Korea. Other advisers have turned pale at the thought of any open break with MacArthur, argue that it would only give the general an excuse to come home and at tack the administration.
 However, all groups agree that the political and military tug-of- war between Tokyo and the White House probably has been the most spectacular and difficult ever to exist between any president and a commander in the field.

Labor Smiles Again

Inside reason why the recent conference between labor leaders and their old friend Harry Truman went off so well was private tip passed out to labor in advance that defense mobilizer Charlie Wilson's wings would be clipped.
 The clipping would begin, labor chiefs learned via the grapevine, with the creation of the new IT, man mobilization advisory board, a superstructure that will pass on such hot policy questions as labor's demand that the wage stabilizatlon board handle disputes over work ing conditions as well as wages.
 The labor chiefs were also tip- ped off, as they headed for the White House. that the disputes issue would be decided in their fa- vor. In other words, the wage sta- bilization board would handle hours and working conditions in addition to wages.
 At the meeting the President went even further, promising that future control over all mobilization policies would be vested in the new l7-man board, rather than in Will son.
 To make sure that Wilson's wings are clipped, the President reported that he would personally "sit in" with the new board, com posed of four public, four farm. four labor and four management representatives "at least once a month"
 His labor callers took this to

Truman Listens

At no time during his chat with labor did the President criticize Wilson or indicate that the dy- mamie, former head of General FL ectric was on his way out as boss mobiiizer. He did not concur when CIO president Phil Murray bluntly declared:
 wilson is unpalatable to every man here except yourself. He is the reason labor has not been able to serve in its proper place in the mobilization program. Labor wants to serve and would serve if Will son and big business hadn't barred ds."
 AFL president Bill Green agreed.
 Labor has tried to work with Wilson," Green said. We are aware of the seriousness of the problems facing the country and have pat riotically endeavered to get along with him, but his overbearing con- duct makes it impossible"
 Truman said he understood la bors position, but added that diff ferences with management spokes- men were not insurmountable and could be worked out If you will be patient" until the new advisory board gets rolling.
 We want you back in-I need your advice and help as much as I need that of business" the Pres ident insisted.
 T get all the government advice I need" he added with a broad grin.

The Pullman conductor came

When the train stopped, Carver
found himself standing in line be-

toward the door, and Carver had the
old familiar feeling of arrivals and

shook his head impatiently. The

favor of the colored oleo bill. I ex-
pect many more this week.

On Tuesday, Jan. %, eleven new
bills were introduced in the House,
mainly of routine nature. One of
particular interest to us here was
introduced by Speaker of the
House Lawson Or. Millsboro)
which makes a motor vehicle own
er responsible for property damage
after his first accident which has
resulted in injury, death or proper
ty damage in excess of 800. In
other words, insurance would not
be required oy law so long as the
owner has an accident-free record,
but after the first, accident, COM
pulsory insurance would be neces-
sary. Another bill of interest to us
would change the Sunday movie
hours. The present 6 pm. to 8 pm.
curfew could be eliminated and
shows could begin at 2 pm. on
Sunday. OF course, the theatre
owners could still continue with
the present schedule allowing two
hours Sunday evening for church
services, which I sincerely hope
and trust will turn out to be the
case should this bill pass the two
houses. Under the present law,
theaters can open at noon on Sun
days and the proposed law would
set 2 pm. as the opening time.
A bill of special interest to own
ers and operators of filing stations
would allow a per cent fee cover
ing all state motor fuel taxes col
lected to cover expense of hand
ling, bookkeeping, etc. At present,
this work is done gratis for the
state as in the case in all types of
tax collections by any business
establishment, be it State, Federal
or otherwise. Most Of the other
bills were for routine appropria-
tions.

ACCIDENTS
CHILD KILLER
$4,000 Children Are Killed In
Accidents In the United
States Each Year
HOME ACCIDENTS HIGH

Accidents are the leading causes
Of death among children from 1
through IA years of age, says the
Delaware Safety Council. Nearly
$4,000 children in this age group
are killed in all kinds of accidents
in the United States each year.
Accidents to children also are an
outstanding cause of disabling and
permanent injuries. The Delaware
Safety Council also reports that
forty per cent of the accidents
caused among the children from
through IA years of age are home
accidents, thirty-four percent of
them are motor vehicle, and twen-
ty-six percent are all other acci-
dents.
A happy home, where parents
and children love and respect one
another can't help but be a whole
some and enjoyable place in which
TO live. More than that, it viii
most likely prove to be a safe place
too. Children are imitators, and
no amount of safety education the
parent gives his child can be COM
pletely effective unless Mother and
Father obey the rules, too. In
safety, as in everything else, chill
dren absorb the attitudes of their
parents and copy their behavior.
Telling Johnny to cross the street
only when the light is green is not
going to seem important to him
if he sees you dashing across on
the red. And if Mary sees her
mother standing on a wobbly chair
to get something down from the
cupboard she's not likely to use
q ladder or other sturdy support
when she needs to reach for some
thing herself. If you make sure
that your ways Of doing things are
reasonably safe and correct, you
will find that your children are
likely to develop safe practices,
too. They will take pride in act
ing as Mommy and Daddy do and
viii soon learn that the safe way
is really the best way.
