Based upon conclusions reach

ings investigating the Ohio Indust-
rial Commission and the state
monopoly workmens compensa-

Robert L. Johnson, Medina. intro
duced today Fl. B. 803 which re-
cognizes the right of private in
sdrance companies to compete in
Ohio as now permitted in Al
states of the Union.
Johnson char ged that the seven
successive investigations of the
Ohio Industrial Commission have
each shown unbelievably bad ad-
ministration of the state work
mems compensation bureaucracy
and that permitting private insur-
ance companies to compete would
bring about correction that
twenty years of investigating COM
mittees had failed to accomplish.
The Medina County sponsor
states, "the new proposal requires
that an injured workman must re-
ceive his compensation check with
in fourteen days as demonstrated
by the prompt payment record in
other states by private insurance
companies, whereas the current
State Fund payments average
more than nine weeks delay"

Included in this felicitous
anthology are the varied and
frequently incisive observa-
tons of many Of Jefferson's
contemporaries - the young
Florentine Philip Mazzei. abb
gail Adams, the DUO de Ia
Observation-Disclosures, the
equity John Quincy Adams.
Isaac Jefferson-one Of his
masters slaves at Monticello
and a number Of others.
Mr.. Rosenberger has skilfully
paced his collection with oc-
casional bits Of poetical re1ec-
lions on Jefferson by William
Cullen Bryant. Karl Shapiro
and Archibald MacLeish.
There are also portraits Of
this remarkable huono uni
perSGle as an attorney. writer,
classical scholar, rel1gion1St,
traveller. soil conservationist
and ibertarian philosopher.
Jefferson is likewise held up to
the light by four Presidents
Lincoln. Wilson. Hoover and
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
OF interest to some will be
the less than enthusiastic mi
nority reports on Jefferson by
British historian, Thomas
Macaulay, and Dixon Wecter.
Old Tory Macaulay cava-
lierly dismissed Jefferson in
. 1857 as the progenitor of a de-
mocracy that must. sooner or
later. destroy liberty. or civili-
cation, or both" Mr.. Wecter Is
equally impious for different
reasons.

dilettante alike.

Crime Club.
Old Oliver Babcock simply
doesn't like women, starting
with his wife. He feels so much
better after q robber kills her
that he wants to help others
situated as he was in the iron
bonds Of matrimony. Sounds
simple, doesn't it? But the
author makes poor Oliver move
aimlesSly and almost endlessly
through one episode after an
other. It gradually develops
that it's Oliver, not the reader,
who is losing his mind. This
is some comfort.

The worth of an anthology
irrevocably rests with the sense
of proportion and the taste of
it's editor. Jeffersonians ought
to have no peeviSh recrimina-
tions with Francis Coleman
RoSenberger on either count.
His Jefferson Reader is pleas
ant, delicately balanced pot
pourri of writings about that
extraordinary 18th century
intellectual colossus who, as
the Marquis de Chastellux
said so we'll, had placed his
mind, as he had done his
house, on an elevated situa-
ton, from which he might
contemplate the universe"
Mr.. Rosenberger has wisely
seen to it that the many
faceted Jefferson is placed in a
spectrum in which his COM
mentators-the whimsical, the
frankly partisan, the earnest
debunkers-may quietly con-
template their protagonist as
he had contemplated the uni
verse.
The editor of this volume
has astutely eschewed the
composite biography. preferring
instead to guide the reader
knowledgeably past an eter-
nifty of Jeffersoniana into a
kind of scholars Elysium
