Assistant Secretary of State
Eddie Miller is one member of
the Truman administration who
will not move away from the
Capital scene with the advent of
the Republican regime, though
he was the first to submit his
resignation.
The man generally recognized
by both parties to have done
an outstanding job on United
StateS-Latin American relations
purchased a house in Washing
ton this past week. He and
his family have been making
their home these 31a years in
Washington in the Nelson
Rockefeller house on Foxhall
road which came complete with
furnishings. tennis court and
considerable grounds. Now that
they have decided to live here
permanently, Eddie and good
looking wife Carol, who par
ticularly wants to stay in WASH
ington. are eager to have their
own place and send for their
own furniture. They bought
the Spring Valley house on the
corner of Glenbrook road and
Forty-ninth that has charming
Grounds around it and it's own
little brook.
Despite rumors that Nelson
Rockefeller might have an i'm
portant post in the new admin
istration, he has not asked for
the house. though it may be
vacated at just the right time
for him.
Eddie will return to the New
York law firm Of Sullivan and
Cromwell which j. Foster Dulles
will leave to become Secretary
of State. The .latter's brother,
Allen Dulles, was also a mem
ber Of the firm before he be-
came Deputy Director Of CIA.
Eddie, who was with the firm
both before and after World
War II, will now have to spend
the better part of every work
week in New York and return
here for week ends. That, he
thinks, is just as easy to man
age as two or three hours of
committing daily in and out

Business in the Third District
continued to drift rather aimlessly
during April. Declines in some
lines were about balanced by gains
in others.
The pace of activity in Penn
sylvania factories slackened no
ticeably in April. After being
steady for four months, industrial
output fell considerably during the
month. All industries but one -
lumber - shared in the decline,
with the ajor decreases being
registered by apparel and furni-
ture. Many of the declines were
of a seasonal nature, but the labor
management dispute in steel also
was a factor. Employment showed
little change, but a reduction in
the work-week was evidenced in
lower payrolls.
Consumer buying was less active
in April. Department store sales,
after a special adjustment for the
later Easter, were below those Of
the preceding month as well as
the previous year. Inventories held
by department stores remained
steady and at the end Of the month

Mr.. Truman has tried to follow in his pre-
decessOr's footsteps. Emergency" bureaus
are never abolished. Taxes, which the Demo-
Gratis told the American people long ago
would be reduced as soon as the emergency"
was over and prosperity established, have
risen higher and higher. The Government
payroll, which the Democrats promised to
cut, is now astronomical, and every day sees
additional thousands recruited. Controls that
include programs for Government buying
and building, and sOcialistic schemes not only
for agriculture but now for business medi-

All this in the name of emergency

Running Bull With
Herd, Poor Dairying

Eighteen percent of over 100
farms visited in the Delaware
Greener Pastures Program this
spring had their herd sire running
with the herd. A recent study of
the University of Delaware indi-
Gates that the over all percentage
is probably four times as great.
This is too high a percentage
in this day and age when artificial
breeding is available to every
dairyman in the state" points out
Delmar J. Young, extension dairy
man of the University.
when we consider the danger
to our families; the time lost, ex-
pense, and hardship of someone in
jured by a bull; not to mention the
influence of a poor breeding pro-
gram, too frequent calvings, and
waste of vitality of the SIRE. there
are no good reasons for following
this practice any longer"
This year. in the Greener Pas
lures Program, points are going to
be deducted for each bull running
with the herd, said Young.

BABSON PARK. Mass, June 13-lnvestOrs seem
to feel that last weeks Supreme Court steel decision
was a victory for them against the labor unions.
This, however, is a mistake The Supreme Court
decision was a victory for every reader of this

Dictator without express Act OF Congress-, ana
that this Act must be constitutional.
Just now, with a President friendly TO the labor
leaders, they are disappointed but these labor
leaders should realize that the time may come when
someone may be President who is unfriendly to
Labor If the Supreme Court had upheld the seizure
of the steel industry, it could then become very
harmful to Labor. Therefore, all should be very

PENSION FUNDS FOR WORKERS
One of the basic problems now connected with

Naturally feel that pensions have their usefulness
in the of faithful executives and employees of
long standing. Like everything else in this world
they have, however, disadvantages as we'll as adj
vantages.
surely believe that all Pension Plans should be
approved by the stockholders before adoption and
should be very carefully considered from every angle
Unfortunately, too many executives are rushing

regarding pensions is whether ~ to have the Fund

One of these proposals, offered by

Senator Taft as infinitely tougher
on labor than the Taft-Hartley Act.
But the most sensible move appear

WHY NOT A NO WORK WEEK?"

The thought occurs that possibly a
specially designated mo work. Week-Or
be fitted into the general
scheme of things and made applicable to all
employed perSOns-hOwever essential their
activities may appear to be.
Strikes accomplish this for some workers
to the detriment of Others-and in order
that there be no partiality it would appear
reasonable that some specific time be desig
mated for a general shutdOwn-with tempo
rary suspension, of course, of all professional
services as well as those associated with
business, transportation, communication, en-
tertainment, and the like. If it is within the
power of organized minOrities to leave their
jobs, on order of their leaders-as is being
done so frequently of late-why shouldn't a
period be designated for everybody to take
a week or month off at the same time, so
that there would be no need for picketing or
viOlence-just an entire nation at leisure
AND WITH TIME TO THINK!
THINK, for instance, Of-all of sudden
finding yourself and family without water,
gas and electricity in your home and without
phone service, of course, as all of these re-
quire work by some peOple-and remember,
there's to be no work.
Patients in hospitals would receive no at
tentiOn from nurses or physicians, and, in the
event of deaths there could be no burials
during the mo work" period.
No mail deliveries, no newspapers
of the sO-called convenienceS, or even essen
tials" to which people have become accustOn-
ed-just a stOppage of everything at the
same time
FANTASTIC? Yes, perhaps, but no more
so than some of the things this country has
been undergoing possibly giving hint
at urgent need for correction of quite obvious
weak spots in the operation of government
under present auspices.
