BABSON Discusses Employment

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Sept. 5-As this is Labor
Day week, it is fitting to write about Jobs" This
year jobs plentiful for all who willing to
work. This however, may not be true in 1853
JOBS AND POLITICS
This year it has been easy to get job for three
reasons: Cd because of the great military expendi-
tures (2) because there has been almost no cur
taiment of peace consumer goods; and 60 be-
the present Democratic Administration is
spending all the money it to keep business pros
porous until after Election.
AS 1 have explained before, our country is no
longer under the Gold Standard, which prevented
Washington from making jobs artfcially. We now
are under Paper Standard" which enables Wash

does not necessarily that the "bust" will come

will stop initiating the balloon and perhaps gradu-
ally let the air out. This would be the safe thing
to do but it might make fewer jobs
WATCH IMPORTS
It may be that through increased advertising
and better selling methods consumer demands here
at home can be built up to offset the natural de-
cline in orders. If labor leaders will be reason
able, this be DONE Savings have been increasing
and wages continue high.
But what about imports? Every store you enter
is now offering foreign-made goods of all kinds
These are being made by people who work 10 to 12
hours day to keep their families from starvation
You say: Put on more tariffs to keep out these
foreign goods This is pOssible but it would surely
force these foreign workers into Communism and

If costs and prices here can be reduced, then our

MANY OFFICE HOLDERS WANT
A CHANGE

Some of the Democrat wheels" around
washington are starting to gloom up over
the picture of the once "safe" Federal en-
plOyee vote.
Time was when the Government worker
could be counted upon to vote for the admin
lstratiOn in pOWer-Or else.
mat time seems to be gone. The Cleve-
land Press recently polled a cross section of
$4,000 Government workers in that citv with
TINS result-41 per cent were for Dwight D.
Eisenhower, 80 per cent preferred Adlai
Stevenson, 29 per cent were undecided.
Robert Ramspeck, chairman of the Fed
eral Civil Service Commission, is quoted as
saying he believes there is a good chance
more than half of the Federal workers will
vote against the Administration.
Ramspeck shOred up his statement bv
pointing out that in 1948, three counties
bordering the District of Columbia (alI heav-
lily populated by Government workers) went
Republican.
There is good reason to believe this will
be repeated in 1852.
Do the rank and file of Federal workers
want change? Most of them are honest.
Woodworking people. They pay taxes, hate
corruption. Many, if not most, would bene-
tit by change of administration. The vast
majority, clerks and typistS in the lower
grades, stand to advance if Mr. Truman's
fat cats in the soft jobs are knocked off
and this can be done only by a complete
change OF adminiStratiOn-be it Truman or
Stevenson in the Democrat saddle.
Thinking along these lines, Democrat
hlgh-shotS in Washington are inclined to
speculate with considerable gloom on Novem-
Der 4th.

Letter By Robert Nelson Taylor

on the worlds number one thug
The General has no doubt been
warned, often and loudly, that he
faces not one, but two willy Oppon-
ents. And as the smooth Governor
Stevenson rounds into fighting
form, telling the LegiOnnaires that
he would resist pressure from or
ganized groups, teir's included; re-
marking on the Republican plat
form, at Asbury Park, N. J., that
nobody can stand on a bushel OF
eels", and of Ike that ''it looks
more and more as though he were
going to stand on our platform"
1t should be apparent, even to Ike.
that the Crusade" he faces now
will be the toughest of all for him
personally.
We have been asked whether or
not we are "fOr" Ike. We have been
accused of plugging for Adlai. Per-
haps this is because we have criti-
cized the General and applauded
the masterful platfOrm-presence of
the Governor. Frankly we would
rather Ike had decided his lob Law
in Europe. In fact, We believed he
would. But he didn't. He himself
cut the umbilical cord that tied him,
to the Army. He risked the perils
of the national convention. He en-
erged the standard-bearer of the
only group that can lead us out of
the fetid mOrass of the Double
Deal. And so, we are for Ike.
We can still admire the footwork
of the boy next door. And we can
still point out our brothers
faults....Do you think we want OUR
champ to get his block knocked off?

NATION FACES HARD BATTLE FOR
CONTROL OF SENATE

There are certain important phases of
the coming presidential contest that have
been ObScured by all the WhoOp-de-doo over
choosing the top candidates, and the tremen-
dOus amount of attention that has, quite ma
turally, been Centered on the views and per-
sonallties and backgrounds of General Eisen-
mower and Governor Stevenson. One of these
phases is the battle for control of the Senate.
AT the present time, the Republicans hold
40 OF the Senate seats, and the Democrats
%. The catch, from the Republican point of
view, is that 20 of their seats are in contest
this coming November as against only Is
for the Democrats. 1t is generally consider
ed that five Of these latter seats are too firmly
held to offer the COP a chance So, if thew
are to gain majority, the Republicans must
take three of the other nine and hold all the
seats they now have. Thus. great deal of
hard work will be done at the state level in
an effort to put the whole ticket over The
nope is that the Eisenhower campaign will
gather so much momentum, and that the
personal and political appeal of the General
will be so great, that he will be able tO carry
even relatively weak Senatorial candidates
with him. The Democrats, of course, hope
exactly the same thing for Governor Steven
son.
It would seem that both parties have
done pretty good job in bridging the riffs
that developed at the conventions. It's quite
trick, for instance, to reconcile such diver
gent figures as Democrats Byrd and Lehman
on the one side, and Republicans MCCARTHY
and Morse on the other The Democrats have
suffered the most from defections-for the
Irst time IN many a moon the Republicans
have a chance to break the Solid South and
pick up some electoral votes there. However.
It Is probable that as time rolls on more end
more OF the hOldouts will return to their re-
sspective folds There is nothing a politician
likes less than having his party out Of power
which means out of patronage-Snd the
vast majority of them will play follow the
leader regardless of differences.
a good many political writer's think that
the Democrats are working on one issue
winch could very easily backfre. This is the
argument that Governor Stevenson has fho
requisite experience for the presidency. Ev
virtue OF his stewardship in Illinois, and that
General Eisenhower has not, by virtue Of
the fact that he has spent his life in the

OUT.OF.ROTNDS AGAIN

For the third straight time in as
many years, the American Legion
got exactly nowhere with it's reso-
lutions demanding the firing OF
Secretary of State Dean Acheson
The day after the 1852 cOnven-
ton adopted the resolution without
opposition, and in which it stated
Our patience is exhausted. the
Legion had its answer. President
Truman, in his Thursday press
conference tossed it aside as bald
erdash cOncOcted by some young
boy. TO make his position entirely
clear, the President added that
Dean AchesOn was the best man in
the country for the job.
Mr.. Truman's devotion to his
crOnies is by now legendary. But
the fierceness of his continual de-
Tense of AchesOn is puzzling to
mere observers in psychiatry. Ach-
eson is no crOny, AO rOugh-and-

eson is very polished, very elegant,
He has had all the advantages. He
knows instantly which fork, which

use in any situation. He holds an
honorary degree from Oxford Uni

ence feels little in awe of his hir-
ed man?

WE'RE FOR THE TORTOISE
1t is expected in some quarters
that General Eisenhower will start
campaigning at Convention Hall in
Philadelphia at $3.50 pm. EDST,
Sept. 4th. And reports from those
"in a position to know" explain
that the Generals strategy is to
start slow and wind up fast, since
he believes that Wilkie in 1910 and
Dewey in 1914 and 1948 went down
to defeat because they set a pace
at the beginning that could not be
maintained.
Thus, either because the cam
paign had not yet begun, or in def
erenle to the easy start taltics, we
shall regard Ike's American Legion
speech as a pitchers wind-up Tath-
er than his delivery. We shall ig-

her husband about it, they reacted
to the menu the same wav I did.
Hayes loves it, as he does all for
eign dishes, so I didn't have to
worry about him, anyway!
Well, the day for the dinner ar
rived and so did we, at the desig-
mated hour. Rice, noodles and chop
suey were all passed and / tried to
spread them all around my plate
to make it look full, but I didn't
fool our host and hostess. Good old

MORE ST. LOUIS BLUES

Those Missouri tax cases that re-
suited last year in the removal Of
Internal Revenue Collector James
P. Finnegan from the service, are
in again. A House Judiciary sub
committee is seeking to learn
whether the Department of JUS
tice tried to squelch a st. Louis
grand juhy investigation of failure
to prosecute tax evaders.
On the stand, before the sub
committee, was Ellis N. Slack, act
ing chief of the Justice Department
Tax Division, and successor to the
amiable T. Lamar Caudle, who was
fired by President Truman in 1861.
Slack had just denied any cOnnec-
tion with an alleged "white-wash
report" by the grand jury to bring
to a close" and without action, its
