The State may seize a struck
utility and operate it to such an
extent as may be required to
protect the public safety and
welfare. Any person employed
by the utility who will accept
employment by the State also
is entitled to his job, under
provision of the law.
Some SoIories
The status of employees of the
utility is not to be affected by
acceptance or. refusal of State
employment. During the seizure.
the Governor must observe pre-
viously established salaries,
wages and conditions of en-
ployment.
Picketing is unlawful after
the State takes over. Both
unions and management are
forbidden to discourage officers
or employees of the utility from
working for the State. Penal
ties range from $40 fine to IL
months in jail.
Expenses of State operation
are to be paid from gross rev.
enues received by the utility
during the period of seizure.
The Governor is not pledged
to maintain full service during
a strike. but he must prevent
substantial impairment or sus-
pension of the operation.
Union Spokesmen have de-
nounced the law as violently
anti-union. One leader termed
it "a yoke placed around the
neck of the laboring people,"

by the Commissioners. It takes
a long stretch Of the imagina-
ton to see why Mr.. Duncan
should be asked to resign.
When the Congress was de-
liberating on the Organic Act
OF 1878 which established the
commission form of govern
ment, an amendment was pro-
posed calling for the two
civilian city heads to be of op-
poslte parties. This was to
insure a non-partisan govern
ment for the Nations Capital.
However, President Hayes,
through Representative Gar
field of Ohio, later to become
President himself, requested
elimination of the specific Ian
guage as a possible affront to
White House impartiality in
District affairs. President
Hayes gave assurances that he
meant to act in the spirit of
the proposed amendment. It
was then withdrawn.
Reorganization cosuoIty
District Auditor A. r. Pilker-
ton has become the first real
casualty of the city government
reorganization.
Under one of the latest orders
of Reorganizer Schuyler Lowe.
Mr.. Pilkerton loses a good
part of the jurisdiction he has
had since 1941. That was when
the Commissioners split up the
auditing and budgeting func-
tions previously consolidated in
the late Auditor Dan Donovan.
Mr.. Pilkerton became auditor
and Walter L. Fowler budget
officer. Since then these two
have been among the most
powerful influences in munici-
pal administration.
Mr.. Pilkerton now will re-
tain only the accounting func-
ton. A former subordinate.
Frank M. HALEY, would head up
a new audit department.
Mr.. Pilkerton has been a good
public servant. Mr.. Lowe has

lie has made it plain he will
esign in January.
There is almost no chance
that President Truman will at
tempt to fill the vacancy on the
municipal bench before he leaves
the White House. And almost
no one would accept an interim
appointment for a period of a
few weeks.
Mr.. Truman already has had
a big hand in the makeup of
local courts. OF the 13 mem
bers of Municipal Court, eight
are his nominees. In U. S. Dis
trict Court for the District of
Columbia, nine of the Is judges
were appointed by him along
with seven of the nine members
of the United States Court of
Appeals here.
The period between now and
inauguration should give the
District Bar Association time to
develop a good slate Of recon-
mendations for Judge Casey's
successor.
SpoiIs Chose
There is something slightly
nauseating about the postelec-
tion efforts of District Young
Republicans to grab the local
appointive Offices from commits
Sionerships on down.
With Mr.. Donohue'S resigna-
ton virtually in their pockets,
they are hot on the trail of
Commissioner Renah Camalier.
Their most recent pitch has been
for the desk of Recorder of
Deeds John B. Duncan.
It is ironic that Mr.. Truman,
an ardent party spokesman, was
responsible for the recent legis-
lation plucking this Office from
the political plum tree. He
nominated an old crony whom
Congress refused confirmation.

1t was a pretty lousy dilemma.
He couldn't do without her and he
couldn't ask her to tame down
her dead-pan clowning or the
bookings went off, but gradually
it dawned on him that she was
''it" and that Sam Small had be-
come the stooge in the act and
Alice the Star.
AND then the first crisis hap
pened. One day the agent came in
with a couple of the top Broad
way musical comedy producers.
The agent told them he had some
thing wonderful.
Alice said afterward she thought
Sam had suspicious from the be-
ginning of what was coming be-
cause he was jumpy as a juggler
with a shaking hangover.
Its a big contract for a new
musical" said the agent. Its
terrific opportunity"
''So?" Sam asked.
The agent was embarrassed. He
hemmed and hawed and finally
said, "I1l be straight with you,
Sam. It's Alice they want. OF
course. there'l be part for you
too, Sam. They promised to write
in something for you but they've
got a part for Alice that's terrific.
Really terrific and sensational"
Sam just went dumb. Alice said
he looked the way he looks when
his stomach ulcers come back, only
worse. Presently Sam said, 'I1l
leave it up to Alice" and she said,
Give me tWenty-four hours to
think it over"
! don't know all the details but
l do know that Alice sat down and
had it out with Sam. She told him
that she loved him better than
her own life but she said there was
other things, like for instance
Little Sam and their old age.
Then she made him PROPOSE
ton. She said. "I'll take this con-
tract and handle the money so we
can put some aside. You'll get a
salary which you can spend. That

As started to leave. Alice with
the tears streaming down her face
said, I'm goin' to get out of the
show! It'll kill Sam if l don't!
I'm going to quit"
At that l read her the riot act,
even to insinuating that Sam was
a bum and there was no use in
wrecking both their lives. She had
the success and opportunity most
girls in show business would give
ten. years of their lives to have.
Alice just went on crying. :.
HE next day when Sam came
to, he went into the sitting room
where Alice was having breakfast,
heartbroken and alone, when she
ought to have been happier than
any girl on Broadway. Sam went
down on his knees and begged her
to forgive him and after while
everything was wonderful. The
physical thing between them was
what you might call terrific.
That's what made everything so
awful for Sam. He promised not
to sulk. He promised to 60 back
to his act single. He promised all
kinds of things.
Alice's show ran about two
years. When it finally closed, what
do you suppose happened? Alice
got another big offer as a star in a
new musical. Sam, of course,
wanted her to turn it down. He
wanted to 60 off to Miami or some
place and just horse around until
they'd spent all the money she'd
saved up and then they'd see what
turned up :. just like ham.
Of course, she turned him down.
Of course she had another hit but
this time she got him a pretty good
part in the show. But he was a
headache to her and everybody
else. He'd always worked alone
and he was always having temper
ament and making trouble. If he
hadn't been the husband of the
big star. they'd have thrown him
out twenty times.
Then the worst thing of all

way we'll save up some money to
educate Little Sam and maybe
have some for our old age"
And she added, Look at 1T that
way. You know how / love you,
and God knows I know that you
love me. but all the love in the
world won't feed US and keep a
roof over our heads when the
public is sick of us. We've got a
chance now. and I'm going to
take it."
Sam didn't really agree but he
didn't object directly. When they
went to the trouble of writing in a
special part for him. he wouldn't
take it. 1t wasn't big enough for
a guy with a name and prestige
like Sam Small.
Well. on the opening night Alice
had them in the aisles. 1t was
big show all about Paris and Amer
leans over there during the crazy
twenties, and Alice was a big beau
tiful gal who didn't know about
the birds, bees, and flowers but
was plenty shrewd and surprised
by nothing at all. That night
new star was born. as they say.
AFTERwARD Sam and Alice and l
went to a party to celebrate the
opening. and everybody waited
up till the papers came in, and
then there wasn't any doubt. The
notices Alice got were terrific. In
the excitement somehow Sam got
mislaid, and we didn't notice he
wasn't there until tried to find
him to show him the notices. /
looked every place for him and
finally had to ask one of the men
to look in the mems washroom,
and pretty soon he came back and
said, Hes there all right but l
can't get him up off the floor. You
and Alice 60 home. and Ill get
someone to help me. Well deliver
him."
Alice and / went back to their
suite, and the two guys delivered
Sam. We had a lot of trouble get
ting him undressed and into bed.
