failed to insti into the youth love for work and
desire to be of real service. Our communities are

training. Perhaps the school teachers are them

earned, group, about $23 per week. Today
they make about $66 per week. This represents an
increase of approximately 1870 in wage earnings.
Now l don't begrudge these workers this increase
not at all. They're not going to live too riotOusly
even at $66. l am glad they have benefited By way
of contrast, however, the most fortunate college
professor in a relatively small number of colleges
has received increase of only 400 during the
same period
What / concerned about is that those white
collar workers in community who, by the nature
of their training and experience have been our
leaders have not received the kind of treatment
as the production-line worker Does this mean that
the only way to get the problem recognized is
through group pressure? If top management does
not realize the nequites to this group of workers.
l am afraid they are inviting disaster.
LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE
Perhaps the one cOnsoling factor for the white
collar worker is that commodity prices and federal
taxes will probably not increase further in 1852.
This, however, is small encouragement for sub
santial block of most solid citizen On the other
hand, all should realize that raising wages is not
lem. Too many whte-colar workers have lost in
terest in their work and trying to do as little
as possible rather than much as possible. Only
when employers and all their workers forget them
selves and again earnestly cooperate for the good
of everyone will the indS.ioa problem be solved.

OR Is 1T NONE OF OUR
BUSINESS?

We are beginning to wonder how
a conscientious, uninstructed dele
gate to the Republican National
Convention is going to decide whe-
ther to vote for Bob or Ike And
with the score of committed dele
gates standing, as this is written,
at 367 for Taft and 338 for Eisen-
hover. the free-wheeling delegates
might well hand the COP a presi-
Dental candidate whose ideas, con-
victiOns and intentions are as much
of a mystery as that towering stone
idol in the valley of the Nile.
Blunt, OutspOken Senator Taft,
pounding home his fortnight con-
victiOns, day and night, wherever
people will listen, has consistently
demanded that the General declare
himself on the issues of the day
but has he gone as far as he
might
Forrest Davis, writing in The
/ Freeman, thinks Taft should find
out for Us, and for himself, whe-
ther Ike was merely a submissive
general Obeying the orders of Roos-
evelt, Hopkins, Truman. Marshall
and Acheson, or one of the
authors of the policies that have
produced our calamities?"
''Is the world view of Truman,
/ Marshall and Acheson likewise Els
enhower's world view" Mr.. Davis
asks. "Dops the soldier-candidate
for the Republican Presidential
nomination still venerate General
/ George c. Marshall as a global stra-
tegist, still regard Dean Acheson
as a wise and far-seeing states
man."
OF the three famous commanders
of World War II, Macarthur, Wed
emeyer and Eisenhower, Mr.. Davis
points out, "Only Eisenhower still
enjoys the full favor of the Admin
istration. and it is worthy of note
that both Macarthur and Wede-
meyer are supporting Taft"
There is not much time left for
finding out these things, and still
less time for public reaction to
reach those who will decide on the
candidate. The fact that Taft has
thus far failed to taunt a word
from his opponent, that Ike bar
red the press from his farewell tC
his staff, would seem to leave the
job up to U. S. newsmen.
The silence is becoming Oppres
sive.

Big Business Being Made out
Of Small Business ByU. S. Govt

Uncle Sam is making a big busi-
ness oht of helping small business.
This is a development which the
Chamber of Commerce, Delaware
Inc, pointed out this week in a
plea that "our Government in
Washington give some real help to
the nations small businesses by re-
ducing Federal spending, cutting
the taxes on the small businessman
and getting rid of bureaucratic red
tape and restrictions"
If Congress should vote the full
amount requested next year for the
small business" activities of the
various Federal agencies and OF
Congress itself, the Chamber figur-
ed the total bill to run them would
be about SS,OOO,O0O annually. Most
Of this money would go for salaries
of more than 1900 persons on var
ious Federal small business"
agency payrolls.
Representative J. Vaughn Gary

tions Committee added the number
OF actual employees on small busi-
ness activities in IL Federal agen-
cies and found that these alone to-
tailed 757 persons. On top of all

HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED
The 1858 $2500-a-year male school teacher
would need much today to maintain his 1858
living standards. How many school committees have
raised their teachers as much they should? The
result is that teachers bave constantly had to

whose salaries have increased most are the young
college instructors, who have had average rise

AND so TO PARIS


General Matthew B. Ridgeway,
the Army's top "swingman," who
took over the reins in Japan and
Korea from the depOsed MacAr-
thur a year ago last April, is now
about to relieve General Eisenhow-
er as Supreme Allied Commander,
Europe.
He reported to a closed session
of the Senate Armed Service Com
mittee that there had been a sig
nifcant" build-up of Red military
strength, in troops. airfields and
planes during the true talks" 49,
which had been closely watched by
his headquarters in TOwyo and by
the PentagOn as well. He was not
acquainted with the full facts on
the Koje Island uproar, including
the shameful Kidnapping and ran
SOM incidents on which our enemy
seems so fully informed.
Addressing a joint session of the
Senate and House, General Ridg-
way gave the following report to
the nation:
l. The germ warfare charges of
the enemy are false.
2. 1t is up to the Reds to accept
or reject logical, reasonable and
honorable proposal" for a Korean
truce. There will be no more bar
gaining. (He did not explain why
our truce team must continue to
sit and listen to Red insults and
investive.)
8. The United Nations Army (no-
tably the U. S. Eighth Army stands

fiant and confident" with a "recorC

of the reason for the new Oaklea

, We hope his next assignmen

never run for Office. He is quiet, undramatic
figure who has, so far as anyone can now
see no public following of any size. There
is a very real possibility that the Democratic
convention will be deadlocked, and will final
ly choose someone who is rarely if ever men,
toned nOW-Such as Speaker of the House
Rayburn.
Many Republicans still seem to feel that
it's all over but the shOuting-that their man,
whoever he is, is practically cinch to defeat
any available Democrat. This, of course, was
also felt in 1948, and the more objective pO-
litical observers think that those who still
hold it may be due for painful awakening.
The Democratic candidate will run on the
Truman platform. The President, regardless
of how badly his prestige may have slipped,
will be the biggest force at the convention.
All of the possible candidates have endorsed
Mr.. Truman's so-called "fair deal" That is
true of Kefauver, who has leaned over back
ward to avoid criticizing Che President and
his program. 1t is true, to slightly varying
degrees, of Russell, Kerr, Hartman and
Stevenson. The Administration is making it's
strongest bid yet for labor bacl1ing-as wit
ness the Presidents action in the steel crisis.
And it has been given the unequivOcal en-
dOrsement of Philip Murray and other labor
leaders.
People who want to unSeat the Democrats
often make the dangerous mistake of con-
sidering only the Administrators political
liabiites-and disregarding it's political as
sets. The Democratic platform of 1852 will
be, so far as basic principles are concerned
much the same platform with which Mr. Trl-
man ran to victory in 1948 when almost ne
one gave him a chance. From the Republican
viewpoint, OvercOnfidence could be politically
suicidal

Washington Letter - By Robert Nelson Taylor
WHO'S CONFUSED?

While il is quite probable that
by the time you read this, the Su-
preme Court may have handed
down its ruling on the constitution
ality of President Truman's seizure
of the steel industry; it now seems
a shame that they've been put to
all this trouble.
President Truman himself decid-
ed the matter at his Thursday press
conference. The President has the
power, he declared, to seize private
industries in an emergency, and
nobody can take it away from him,
because it is a part of his inherent
powers.
A reporter asked if neither Con-
gress nor the courts could take
away such power and the President
repeated that nobody can.
But he went on to say that he
was not prejudging the steel case
and that he would abide by the Su-
preme Courts decision. He saw
nothing contradictory in these
! statements. he said.
The day before, in his address to
the cadets of West Point in the
closing ceremonies of the 150th
anniversary of the Academy, Mr.
Truman 6welt at some length on
the Presidency being the most ex-
alted position in the world and fan
more significant than the man who
occupied it, and his vigilence in
maintaining the dignity Of that Of
| fee.
In case you've forgotten, or il
doesn't seem possible, this is tht
same President: Who cOndOneC

NATIONAL CAMPAIGNS ARE
BEGINNING TO SHAPE UP

So far as the Republicans are concerned,
the ending Of the primary season finds the
situation about as the forecasters expected.
In pledged delegates, Eisenhower and Taft
are, to all practical purposes, on an equal
footing. Taft has few more than his chief
rival but the lead is too small to be significant.
Neither man has anywhere near enough to
assure nomination.
Only one other active candidate can now
be taken seriously. That is Governor War
ren, who would have good chance in the un-
likely event that Taft and Eisenhower can
eel each other out. Stassen is far weaker
than he was four years ago.
From the point of view Of the political
writer, the Democratic situation is extremely
interesting. The only candidate who has
shown any ability to attract national fol-
lowing is Kefauver. He has amazed the old
line professionals, who were certain that his
balloon would collapse ANONYMOUSLY. In
stead, he has had only one minor setback, in
Florida, and even there he made a better
showing against the popular Russell than
was anticipated. If proven public sentiment
meant thing, he would be a cinch for the
nomination. But the top Administration
brass want no part of him and the chances
are that they'll be able to- stop him at the
convention something they couldn't do in
the primaries.
Potent powers within the party are be-

speaking, he is question mark He has
