Washington Letter - By Robert Nelson TovlOr

in society should be above the law
or be permitted to disregard rights
of individual workers and employers
or the public interest in pursuit
of its own ends.
The law has been in effect six
years, long enough to demonstrate
that while not perfect it has worked
well and fairly, that it did not
destroy unions, and that the un-
bridled hate campaign against it by
union leaders was entirely unjusti-
fed. Nevertheless, President Tru-
man refused to invoke the law in the
long steel strike of 1852, and public
reaction against his unconstitution-
al attempt to seize the steel industry
undoubtedly was a factor in the
Republican victory that fall"
Mr.. Ball points out that Admins
tTatiOn advisors still think he COP
must buy" the union leaders, and
have not learned that these men
cannot deliver the union vote.
Only you, he says, can set them
straight, by writing or wiring the
White House, by writing, wiring or
talking with your representative
and senators-and the man who
collects Republican campaign con-
tributiOns.
Z LAS Of now" he says, ''it looks
as if only a flood of such messages
can keep Taft-Hartley from being
amended into a more One-sided anC
biased stature than was the ole
/ Wagner Act"
And don't let the Durkin dunking
fool you.

Frear added, From the hour of its
conception, this nation embarked
on a policy which was not KEYED

not oppose our friends overseas.
but in the historic moment when
the Declaration of Independence
was promulgated, we let it be
known that America would chart
its own destiny. That we have
done just that with abundant sue
cess is clearly evident. And now.
at this late date. when individual
freedom and liberty are on trial
over such a vast area of the

September IL, 1858
Dear Friends:
Every one all over the world
has been excited over the liberia
tiOns in Korea and this week the
excitement reached home in Mil
ford. We heard that the American
flag was waving in all it's glory
Labor Day at Number 607 South
East Front Street. That was the
day Mr.. and Mrs. Howard B. Hitch
ems, Sr., found out that their son
was among the last prisoners of
war to be liberated. Howard was
reported missing in October, 1862.
1t has been almost year since his
wife, the former Vera Ruth Vane
from Harrington, Del, his parents
and his sister, Mary Ann, have
heard from him. After ali those
months of anxiety you can imagine
with what jubilance his wife re-
ceiVed those wonderful words that
Howard was at last on his way
home. We're I'll so happy for all
Of them.
Good news to all Of our Air
Force friends, especially those in
active reserve status, is the news
that the RIFF has ceased. RIFF, to
those of you not familiar with the
term means Reduction In Forces.
During August when many thou
sands were informed they were
part of this economy measure, it
brought about chaos. You can ina
gine how such news would be well
coined in homes where the bread
winner had expected the Air Force
to be his life's career. Letters to
the Senators, instability among the
reserves, the fall off of enlistments
for the Air Force, the H-Bomb
across the waters; whatever the
reason, RIFF has become something
OF the past and life settles down
to nOrmalcy again.
Something that seemed normal
to MilfOrdians this month was hav-
ing Pat and Evelyn Humphreys
home again. They visited with her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Harold Short
while they were in the east on
leave. Know everyone loved havine
them home once more.

THE ONLY WAY

The Sixteenth Amendment to the Con-
stitutiOn which became effective in 1913 and
gave the federal government the power to
lay direct tax on the incomes of the people,
was the seed from which the sOcialiStic
welfare state idea grew in this country
Actually, not one Of us has a constitutional
right remaining to one penny of our in
come.
The unlimited power to tax the incomes
of the people reversed the basic concept of
government on which our republic is found
ed. 1t made government master of the peo-
pie, rather than their servant.
Most of us, still startled by the tremend-
Gus chunks of our income that went to pay
federal taxes last year, begin to agree with
the idea that the only way to prevent con-
fiscatOry taxation is to now limit by Con-
stitutiOnal Amendment, the income taxing
power of government. This is the only way
we can hope to preserve representative gov
ernment and a free economy.
Relief will never come from tax collect
ors but only through changes forced by tax
payers.

MORE SCHOOLING IMPORTANT

For their own good and the good of the
nation, the 100000 teenagers throughout
the nation who worked during the summer
should think twice before deciding to quit
school,
Last year One-ffth of the 16 and 17-year-
Olds failed to return to school after taking
summer jobs. AS a general thing, the fail
ure to get more education dims their future,
because statistics show that boy who fin,
ishes high school will earn during the next
40 years S14 200 more than his FELLOWSHIP
dents who quit after junior year. For girls.
the differential is nearly $4,000.
But more important-the nation needs
educated men and women to operate our COM
plex economic machine. We can't match the
Communist hOrdes in manpOwer. Only
through brainpOwer can we keep ahead of
them. We must look to the schools for most
of the trained technicians and professional
men and women who furnish that BRAIN
power.

Approach To Peace

The list of 3,4O4 Allied soldiers,
944 of them Americans, which the
UN Command charges have not been
returned or accounted for, is a
sheer fabrication say the Reds.
The demand of Major General
Blackshear NJ. Bryan, chief UN
commissioner of the Korean Mill
tary ATmistice Commission, for
prompt action" has brought only
Communist counter demand for
the recapture of the $1,000 North
Korean POW's liberated by Presi-
dent Singhman Rhee, and further
sneers from the Red radio. We are,
said Radio Peiping, "diverting the
attention Of world public opinion
from the fact that a large number
of Korean and Chinese prisoners
who desire repatriation are still
being forcibly detained by the
/ Americans"
The earlier comment of Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles that he
was mot aware of any evidence
that the Reds were holding back
U. S. or other Allied prisoners, was
not helpful either.
Meanwhile, UN officials began the

None Of Our Rnsiness

DR.. Charles Malik, Ambassador
of Lebanon, gave a little talk be-
fore the American Political Science
Association in Washington the other
day What we need, said the noted
political philosopher, is high non
political planning authority to work
out basic United States policy. He
also thought that "the notion of the
sovereignty of the people must .
be somewhat tempered in the pre-
sent age" Today's problems are
certainly nothing for us ordinary
people to mess with, for he says :
Fundamental policy, where whole
cultures are at stake, must certainly
be conceived and developed far
from the din of the masses"
Perhaps it's a mere coincidence,
but the same day it was announced
that the National Security Council,
which is the nearest we have yet
gotten to DR.. Malik's planning
authority" was reported as approx
ing our further involvement in Indo-

China. According to word from
French Premier Laniel in Paris, we
are to provide another $685., 5000, 900
above the four hundred million
already voted by Congress to help
the French in their jungle struggle
with the Communists. The matter
was also discussed by the President
and Secretary Dulles during the
latter's visit to Denver, we are told.
What about Congress? We haven't
got one not now. It's taking a five
months breather. Don't ask us why
We've been sounding off, and with
good reason, against losing our
freedom through gOvernment-by-
treaty. But certainly, invisible
government is just as bad.

LET'S STAY IN BUSINESS

Six weeks after a $9,OOO,OOO fire one
day last winter totally destroyed it, Phila-
delphla manufacturing plant was back in
buSineSS-prOductiOn resumed
Term it a modern miracle back
in business in six weeks!
If it had been your plant, would it be
in business today?
Would you be back at your old Job?
The record shows there are some TO-
600 such fires every year-nOt all, of course,
so costly.
For instance, mercantile fires-thOse in
the retail and wholesale trade, restaurants,
bars, repair shops, filling stations and pub
lie garages-last year tOtalled 47,929 Those
IN manufacturing factories, breweries,
canneries, bakeries, laundries, printing and
other manufacturing and prOcessing) total
led 22,6OO
There is no way of knowing just how
many persons were laid off as a result of
those fires. Nor is it recorded how many
died in them-Or as a result of them. Nor
is it definitely known how many firms failed
because of them.
Today, there is greater need than ever
before for fire safety AS a result of the
growing complexities of modern business,
one industrial fire can seriously affect the
livelihood of hundredS-even thOusandS-Of
POAOOAAO' 4AASAC cA4C IIlctA4y ways ny WulCIl
this can happen; among them are these in
direct but very real ones:
1. Loss of workers, who obtain en-
plOyment elsewhere after fire results
in plant shutdown.
2. Loss of custOmers-thOse who obtain
their supplies from others because
they cannot afford to wait for a
razed plant to get back into produc-
tiOn.
= 3. Loss of cash reserve resulting from
costly repairs for fire damage.
4. Loss Of competitive position brought
about by curtaiment of activity in
research and development
which now must be spent on subse-
quent rebuilding and production
changeOVers.
5. Loss to the community through de-
crease in trade as a result of reduced
earnings of workers living there;
sometimes even increased tax bur-
dens on you and your neighbors be-
cause property damaged by fire is
removed from the tax rolls to the
extent that it is not covered by in
surance.
Certainly 10000 fires should make us
stop and think what we individually can
do to stop them For no firm can afford a
fire and no one can afford to work for a
firm that fails to provide adequate protec-
tiOn for it's employees.

where your ball lies, in which case it is
pursued in weeds having the stature of

the player can afford, plus a bag, umbrella,
OvershOes, tees, towel, and as many other
gadgets as a caddy can carry.

Gated between a totally useless creek, three
gnared oak trees, and some excavations be-

The idea is to get the ball into each of 18
holes in the fewest strokes and greatest loss
of memory. After the 18th hole the player
adds up his score, stops at 81, vets himself
down internally at the bar and externally in
the shower, sings Working on the Rail

END OF AN ERA

The action of the Senate Finance Com
mittee in refusing, by vote of 11-to-4, to
approve raising the federal debt limit, in
spite of urgent requests by the President
and other top Administration officials, in
dicates the present temper of national think
ing.
Without going into the pros and cons
involved in this specific question, it is OBJ
vious that the American people want and de-
mand rigorous economy in government, and
Congress, naturally, has begun to reflect that
attitude. The era when the taxpayers would
accept unbridled spending with hardly a
