Army Headquarters at the Pre-
sidio of San Francisco.
Mare Island, 40 miles northeast
of San Francisco, is a typical ex-
ample of the work civilian en-
ployes are doing. Ships and
submarines are built, repaired and
overhauled. It is one of the larg-
est Navy shipyards.
Civilians Do the Work.
| Although the military is in
command. the work is done by
civilians. There are about $4,000
civilian workers there and about
120 Navy officers.
Rear Admiral Bernard E.
Manseau, commandant at Mare
Island, is high in his praise of
the civilian workers there.
They're doing a terrific job"
he said. Its really their ship
yard"
Admittedly. there are some
"drifters" among the workers.
These employees wander from job
to job and don't contribute much
to the work output. But they are
strictly the exception, rather than
the rule.
One important thing to be re-
membered is that the effectiveness
OF our military effort depends to
a great extent on civilian workers.
That this job has been done eff
fectively by the civilian workers
was attested to by every military
officer we talked to.
Production Immense.
The extent of the Governments
production activities is immense.
The relationship between the
military and civilian also appears
to be generally good. Some en-
ployes have complaints, but the
military civilian relationship ap-
pears to be better than in Wash
ington where all too often the
military and civilians are doing
identical jobs. In the field, this
is not the case. thereby eliminat-
ing petty jealousies and other
frictions.
The cooperation between mill
tary and civilian personnel off,
Gals is also very good. They ap-
pear to work as equals and as
members of one team. There is
little friction between them.
Incidentally. Federal personnel
officials in Washington could we'll
follow the example Of their COL
leagues on the West Coast. The
Californians use less "gobblede-
cook" in their conversation and
seem to be more practical in their
approach to problems. They ap-
parently seem to feel that five
syllable words are not a prerequi-
site for a successful personnel
official.
Calibre Appears High.
The calibre of military and
civilian officers assigned to ci-
william employe matters appears
high. Their cooperation with this
reporter in compiling this ma
terial was of the highest. 1t. Col.
Milton B. Herr of the Presidio was
especially helpful in arranging the

White House Presses
For Quick Settlement
OF Railroad Dispute
BY The Associufed Press

A major effort to settle the
two-year-old dispute between the
Nations seized railroads and three
big rail unions is underway at the
White House. Presidential Assist
ant John R. Steelman said he is
somewhat encouraged"
Mr.. Steelman, acting Defense
Mobilizer and President Truman's
top labor mediator, said through
a spokesman he has been meeting
separately "for the last several
days. with labor and management
officials. But informed sources
said Mr.. Steelman called his first
meeting more than two weeks ago.
They predicted a settlement might
not be far off. More meetings
were called for last night.
Mr.. Truman seized the Nations
major railroads in August, 1850,
to choke off threatened strike.
Still involved in the fight over a
new contract are three of the
four big operating unions-the
engineers, the conductors and the
|f1remen-with a total membership
|of slightly more than 10000. The
fourth union, the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen, settled its
dispute in May of 1851.
Rules Are Hurdles.
Main stumbling block to agree
Iment is a railroad demand for
some changes in four working
rules which play a large role in
the workers day-to-day working
conditions and affect their pay.
As to wages themselves, the
carriers and unions have been in
substantial agreement on a pay
boost of 81 cents for those work.
ing in the yards and of 221a cents
for those in road service.
Mr.. Truman seized the roads
under a 1916 law dealing with
war; time seizures of carriers. The
law was still in effect in 1850. The
United States was at that time
officially at war with Japan.
The rail seizure, thus, is on
different legal basis from the
seizure of the steel industry. In
the latter. Mr.. Truman said he
acted under his constitutional
powers. During World War II,
President Roosevelt seized a score
Of individual plants and the ma
tion's coal mines, but in most of
these cases he acted under
special wartime seizure law, the
Smith -Connally Labor Disputes
Act, which expired in June, 1947.
Seizure Under Attack.
Both the rail and steel seizures
are under attack in the courts.
Mr.. Steelman's last major effort
to settle the rail controversy came
in December, 1850, when a mem
orandum of agreement" between
the carriers and the union was
signed at the White House and
later rejected by the rank-and-
file membership.
Mr.. Steelman was thought to
be making a special effort in his
present efforts at mediation be-
cause of the violent criticism di-
rected at the White House over
the snarled steel situation. OFF,
cials felt a rail settlement would
carry with it a victory for the
White House.
j. P. Shields, grand chief engi-
neer of the Locomotive Engineers
Brotherhood, said in a statement
yesterday that even if settlement
is reached. I'VE still must have a
test of constitutionality of seizure. :"
The three unions are seeking such
a test in the courts.

keneipp Ready 10 Ask
Periodic Re-Tesis Of
-
B-Year Old Drivers

Traffic Director George E.
: Keneipp viii recommend to theI
Commissioners this week periodic
re-examination Of all automobilel
drivers over IS.
The examination would be given
when the drivers permit expired.
Mr.. Keneipp told a luncheon
meeting Of the District Advisory
Board Of the American Automo-
bile Association in the Mayflower
: Hotel yesterday that q study made
in the District showed that drivers
s65 and over make up IL per cent
of all drivers and are responsible
for 2 per cent Of all injury acci-
dents.
The traffic director said it Is
reasonable to assume that elderly
drivers probably do less driving
than others. Consequently. their
accident record is proportionately
poorer than that Of other age
groups, he said.
- Furthermore" he said, many
drivers in this age group held per-
ll1its before examination Of pros
--pective drivers was required. Many
OF them as q result have never
been examined for vision or
knowledge Of traf1ic regulations. ;"
Mr.. Keneipp said his depart
ment receives many calls from
families asking that elderly rela-
tives be re-examined because Of
demonstrated incompetence to
drive safely.
Mr.. Keneipp indicated he is
considering recommending man
datory Jail sentences for drivers
who operate automobiles after
revocation or suspension Of driv-
ers' permits.
The Commissioners last week
approved the publication of names
Of drivers whose licenses have
been suspended or revoked. Mr..
Keneipp said the first publication
of these names would be made
within q few days.

Higher Rates, Not New Taxes 10 Pay For New Wafer System

City Councilmen meeting in special session last week present. ed a plan for financing the city's share of the new water project, which was satisfactory to APW's representative. R. T. Mathews, and still circumvented the necessity Of imposing a property tax. Instead will have their water bills hlked property owners and renters alike 50 percent. Here's how the tlnanc- ing plan works:
 The cost of the entire project is S675,000. The federal govern ment, through Alaska public works builds the system and con- tributes fifty percent of the cost. The citv's one-half share-S337,- O0G-is covered by the bond issue. Payment on the bonds and inter est do not begin until the sys- tem is completed. The debt cost amounts to S21.240 yearly when spread over 20 years. Cost of oD- erating and maintaining the water system was estimated at $5,C0). Thus, a total of S27,240 would have to be raised from revenues and other sources. Frank Brown reported on his survey of present and potential users who would be customers by the time the water system is finished next summer, showing an estimated

 NOTES
By Lew Hanks

We've had some nice potato digging and hay drying weather this fall. The day aIter I finished digging in the rain the weather turned fine. l guess 1 don't live right. From what I've been able to observe practically all the spuds in the Valley are out.
 According to reports there were about six hundred acres of pota- toes harvested in the area. This $ a few more than last year Yields are a little below normal. According to people l have talked with the average seems to be between six and seven tons per acre of salabIe spuds. Some grow CTS report normal or better yields while some report only half a crop. The quality seems to be good. Potatoes are smaller but there are less rough or bruised ones than normal.
 The grain crop IS ripening slow. If the weather is favorable we should be able to expect normal yields. In spite of our poor grow ing year our total production for the Valley should break all pre- vtous records as it often does.
 We are getting more land into production each year, but our needs are increasing faster than our production. We are almost certain to be short of hay and sil- age again. It speaks pretty well of our improvement in farming methods in that, in spite of our cold growing season, yields are as they are.
 I have an article before me that states that in the U. s. there is 8 d net gain of one person every thirteen seconds. There is a birth every nine seconds, a death every tWenty-one seconds and a few more people immigrating thar emigrants. That's a lot of new mouths to feed each year. We've got to practice some pretty good soil management to keep produc, ing ahead of that crowd.

275 residential consumers and 30 commercial users. Base rates of S6 monthly for residential users and S15.75 were established. When meters are installed, the base rates will be used as an average in deciding the rates based on actual consumption. From these rates, the city expects to realize S19,800 from residential consumers and S6,O30 from commercial customers yearly for a total of approximate ly S25.470. Added to this a yearly S3.00O payment from the city's sales tax fund an expected total of S28,470 would give the city a slight IeeWay in meeting its obli- gations and paying for mainten- ance of the water system.
