But what if take fifty baskets or perhaps

the buyer asked. For fifty baskets the price would
be one dollar apiece, and for one hundred baskets

differently. Each basket make with a design that
appeals to me- If make one hundred identical

So must charge more to make up for this loss of

This is what Thoreau, the handyman. says to me
in his profoundly simple definition of the cost of
things. There are in the world today two other
definitions that fail to consider the inner meaning
the human meaning, of cost. The Marxist says the
cost of a thing is merely the amount of labor used
to produce it. The hard-headed businessman finds
that the cost of thing is what he has to pay for it.

from public schools and common
colleges, from any association in
jobs and business, and from the
normal participation in civic af-
fairs which the Jew has fought
so long to secure. This is neither
possible nor desirable. Self-ghet-

So the only way in which in

increased emphasis by. the Jew
on his great heritage, Judaism.
The positive approach must be
stressed. The traditions, the his

be taught with skill and realism
so that every Jew will be an in

The Jew today in this country,

SEEING Things on the Wall

One of the most popular pastimes on the

well-deserved benefits from the COM

Ramspeck was announced his an
tagonistic attitude toward those whose
cause he is supposed to further has GER
tainly changed all those ideas. His cur
rent stand on the retirement annuity
increase is the most asinine (and I use
the word advisedly) on record.
In making the statement "that to vote

tions from the United States retirement
fund or any other source would be to
discriminate against private citizens who
are similarly situated" Mr.. Ramspeck
loses sight of the fact that annuitants
made worthwhile contributions from
their salaries over long period and. in
addition, these meager annuities are now
taxed to the point where it really hurts
and works undue hardship on many
aged people. The attitude he takes on
legislation to help this class of persons

posed for Government employees but,
strangely enough, this is the first time
any such reasoning has been advanced.

Il Mioht as Well Be Dead

For once in his life, Willie "the Actor" Sut-
ton was not acting when he told his police cap
tors: "I'm tired of it all. I might as well be
dead. You'll do me favor if you kill mel" It
was evident to the Brooklyn detectives who
nabbed him as he worked on his Car that "Slck
Willie" no longer was so slick The haggard,
grease -smeared Sutton bore little resemblance
to the dapper, gun -fourishing bank robber de-
scribed in numerous newspaper and magazine
write-ups of Sutton's exploits" If there was
ever any glamour in crime for Willie Sutton, 1t
must have vanished long ago.
Certainly there was no glamour in the fur
tive existence which Sutton was forced to lead
after he became one of the Nations ten most
wanted fugitives There was no night life for
the gangster who once thought it to be simple
matter to elude arrest by changing disguises
He seldom stayed out after 10 o'clock at night
because, he explained, his chances OF being
picked up and questioned by police were too
great then. He spent much of his time in an
eight-by- ten room which he rented for $6 a
week in a rundown rooming- house section OF
Brooklyn. The furnishings included an old iron
bed a night light with blue bulb, wardrobe
of cheap clothing and shoe-polishing kit.

his parents trouble. His mother, now dead, once

rested a few days later but were placed on
probation. Probation to Willie meant another
chance to get into trouble. He continued trying
to outwit the law. At 10 he was charged with
murder, but acquitted At "a he went to State
prison for five years for burglary, but was re-

Sutton went in for big-time operations. He was
identified as the leader of a number of bank
robberies and other holdups before he was finally
arrested again and sent to prison-this time to
Sing Sing for 80 years. He escaped within few
weeks however. The bank robberies continued
and once more Sutton was captured and i'm
prisoned He broke out again in 1945 and had
been at large ever since.
But Willie, now 50, had less than $4,000 OF his
earnings" when two alert detectives arrested
him this week Apparently he had been afraid
to spend what he had. Part of the time since
his last escape he had worked as janitor. He
mended his own socks shined his own shoes and
was changing the battery in his 1850 model
low-priced car when the police caught up with
him. Willie Sutton probably was giving it to
them straight when he told police he was tired

Ron1speck Incurs Wrath Of Pensioners

Editors note: Civil Service COM
mission Chairman Robert Ramspeck,
who as a member of Congress played
leading role in securing present
civil service retirement benefits, OPP
poses using present retirement funds
to pay for the proposed new benefits
on the grounds that it would jeopar-
die the fund which he declares Is
already actuarially ,insound. He also
opposes Congress voting additional
funds to pay for an annuity increase,
declaring that this would be unfair
to other aged groups throughout the
country who are suffering from high
living costs. Mr.. Ramspeck feels that
any aid to retired Federal employees
should come from action Of the Old
Age and Survivors Insurance Branch
Of the Social Security Administration
and be handled strictly as q "relief"
