A Wasted Emotion
By Bruce Borton

TWO good friends. q furniture mer-
cnant and psychiatrist, were fishing.
Said the merchant: II figure I'm a
pretty lucky guy to be In the furniture
business. Mostly. when people come to
my store they're happy. Maybe they're
young couples just setting up house,
keeping. Or they're older folks who've
finally saved up money enough to buy
something they've wanted for years.
You can see dreams written all over
them. And I've thought to myself:
What would 1t have been like If my
fsther had been an undertaken, and I'd
inherited mortuary? II I looked into
eyes filled with tears instead Of eyes
filed with dreams?"
He regarded his psychiatrist friend
thoughtfully minute. and continued:
Even worse than being an undertaken.
I'd imagine. must be this business Of
being psychiatrist. People don't come
to see you unless there's something
wrong with them. Every patient has
a few buttons missing. Sometimes 7
wonder how you can stand it. :.
The psychiatrist- James r. Fisher,
NJ. D.. who. with Lowell S. Hawley, pro-
duced the fascinating autobiography, "A
Few Buttons Missing"-did not COM
nient. But what do you think was going
through his mind?
He realized suddenly that ''until that
afternoon I'd often felt sorry for him.
It must seem like futile sort Of life.
I'd told myself. merely buying and sell.
ing furniture and having no goal but TO
pile up q few more dollars at the end
Of the month. How could it possibly be

Wasted pity-how much Of it there Is

The amazing thing Is that the people
who most deserve pity seldom want it,
or even think they should have It, I

to be associated-the Institute for the

promoting virtues Of international eomnaerce
has done its best to choke such commerce by
seeking to wreck great projects like the Marshall
Plan.
More than that, In the economic warfare
that the men Of the Kremlin have beeh waging
against Yugoslavia, free Europe has seen how
these men have attempted to destroy what was
once a key satellite regime for daring to refuse
their enslaving trade terms. In the light Of such
evidence, together with the plain threat Of Red

another big lie. It will not fool the West

Brotherhood Week

The idea of q week in American life being
designated as Brotherhood Week is one that is
thoroughly compatible with the American char
acter and indeed with the very history Of our
country.
1t has been said many times and quite
truthfully that the United States is a great
melting pot OF peoples of all races and creeds.
The pattern Of our population Of today was set
in the earliest years OF exploration Of this COM
tinent as the adventurous men and women Of
many nationalities and beliefs came here to
settle A continuing strong tide of immigration
has both broadened and deepened this pattern.
Even our Involvement In two great wars, taking
millions Of our own people to all ends of the
earth, has added to our instructive feeling OF
kinship, for mankind as whole as against o
clannish form Of aloof society.
It is quite appropriate, however, that for
some brief period each year, in this instance
the week beginning today, there should be q
special dedication TO this principle of brother,
hood
It is deeply regrettable that in 1852 We
must approach this week at home while our
men are fighting and dying on field OF battle
in Korea. For these men are truly applying
the principles of brotherhood as they stand
shoulder TO shoulder not only with other Amer
leans OF Ill faiths but with the men of other
nationalities. It IS fitting, therefore, that the
emphasis Of our Observance at home should be
directed to . Nationwide campaign for blood
pledges by which nveS literally may be saved In
the cause Of freedom I'd dignity for oil mankind.

Annuitonts' Very Crave Plight

Opposition Of the Civil Service Commission
to the pending bill to increase annuities Of
Federal employees is based on sound reasoning
This bill would pay the increase out Of the pres
ent retirement fund, which, according to the
csc, already is operating In the red Less logi-
cal however, is the commissions reason for OBJ
jecting to an alternative plan for raising the
pensions by passing q special appropriations
plan which the Budget Bureau had indicated it
would not oppose
The commission told the Senate Post once
and Civil Service Committee that to make
special appropriation for the relief of civil
service annuitantS-who, 1t conceded, are fac
ing "a very grave and real problem -would be
unfair to thousands OF other retired employees
In the industrial field. But former employees Of
private industry are no more entitled to share
in annuity benefits for former Federal employees
than present industrial workers are to share in
the recent pay raise for Government workers.
This is the first time that such q suggestion OF
discrimination" has been made by the COM
mission
As matter Of fact, Congress, In effect dis
eliminated against Federal employees last year
when it authorized 80 per cent raise In pen-
sions for 250,000 retired railroad workers Presi-
dent Truman expressed pleasure over this action,
which raised the maximum annuity for railroad
employees to $165 month. BY comparison, Fed
eral employees who retired prior to 1948 receive
an average OF only $1,000 a. year and those who
retired after that date receive slightly more
than 500 month. If 1t Is right for the rail-
roads to increase railroad pensions, 1t is no
less right for the Federal Government to aid
its former servants in solving their very grave
and real" cost-of-living problems.

How often, m the books they read,
mems interests are like whales chasing
sardinesi They are mostly interested
IN social conventions. in polite protocol.
In books that tell how to assure success
and how TO capture attention and win
friends. Such tones are slaves to do
our bidding. Often they usurp the place
Of oceanic books, which are our masters
and at whose feet the wise sit to be
taught and illumined and inspired"
With them we can do business in great
waters.
A Dean of Harvard uttered singing

cans he watched at Rome. There they
were In the Imperial City, with every

irate professor saw that group settle

blurted out: what business have such

have they anywhere?' They were

Cleanup Powers

It Is proper that members Of Congress should
want to examine the reasons for the Presidents
request that extraordinary powers be given New
bold Morris to facilitate his investigation Of
scandals in Government
In his message, MIR. Truman said that II Mr..
Morris is to make an effective and conclusive
investigation he must be given the power Of
subpoena, the power to compel testimony by
granting immunity in appropriate cases, and the
power to administer oaths.''
There can be little question as to the need
for the first and third powers. Unless Mr. Morris
can subpoena witnesses and take their testimony
under oath his investigation will get nowhere
Those Congressman who have been clamoring
for real cleanup cannot in good conscience
oppose these requests
The recommendation that the adnainistra-
ton investigator be given power to grant inn
munity is in a somewhat different category. This
is distinctly novel proposal and it should be
examined carefully. 800
Senator Ferguson has suggested that it could
be used to give immunity baths to major Grim
inals and that, Of course, is possibility to be
considered Before one can put much stock In
It, however, he has to believe that Mr. Morris
would be party to the protection of criminals
instead Of exposing them and bringing them to
trial. If there is the slightest reason to believe
that this Is the case, Senator Ferguson has not
stated it. -
The purpose of grant of immunity, Of
course, is to make 1t possible to obtain testimony
from witnesses who might otherwise successfully
plead Decentralization. 1t is fact that this
plea has been invoked in many, many Instances
In recent years, and the courts have gone to
great lengths In upholding it. But the authority
to crcumvent this constitutional safeguard, espe-
cially If that authority is to be exercised in
closed hearings, raises some delicate questions.
Congress would be justified in wanting to explore
them fully and carefully.
This should not be used, however as pre-
text for refusing to give Mr.. Morris necessary
and proper powers. Some people have been pre-
dieting that the investigation would be white
wash because the President did not recommend
such powers for Mr. Morris when he was first
appointed. Mr.. Truman now has corrected that
error. The next move is up to Congress. If
those members who have been keeping their
fingers crossed are sincere, they will vote to give
Mr.. Morris the powers required to make the full
and comprehensive investigation that is so SELF
evidently needed
