FIREMEN DID A GOOD JOB

Milford residents witnessed a sterling
example of devotion to duty this week when
menfsers of the Carlisle Fire Company, the
Ellendiie Fire Company and the Houston
Fire Company fought the fire which destroy
ed the horne of Ruby R. Vale for hours in
the bitter cold The men were on continuous
duty from shortly before midnight Sunday
night until long after the noon hour on Mon
day afternoon. Many remained even longer.
To add to the terrific job which confronted
the fiTemen, the bitter cold weather made
their battle against the flames even harder.
The water froze on the building and trees
to such an extent that it was almost impOs-
sible to work efficiently. It is fitting that the
people of Milford should know just how hard
a job the firemen had Statistics are unin-
teresting, but during the time that the trucks
were in action they consumed over five hum
dred gallons Of gasoline. The water in the
town water tanks were depleted and thou
sands Of gallons of water were pumped direct
" from the river.
Those fremen from our neighbOring
towns who did such valiant duty deserve
praise and thanks All who participated in
the long fight have earned an excellent repu-
tation for both themselves and their COM
panies. 1t is such demonstrations Of loyalty
to duty and devotion to their chosen public
service which endeaF the local fire companies
to their communities. The Vale fire is a DEM
onstration of the worth Of these organiza-
tions in our midst. They deserve the sup
port of all

POSTMASTER MAYHEM is DOING
A GOOD JOB

We hear TUnlbing that the incoming Re
publican administration in Washington may
take steps to remove first class postoffices
from Civil service regulations. 1t is more
than probable that many of the incumbents
throughout the Natipn are inefficient and
should be removed. But there are cities
where men of character and efficiency fill
these important positions. Milford is such
a place. The writer has had extensive bus
mess dealings with the local postofice for
almost forty-three years. Without qualifi-
cation or reservation of any sort we say that
John E. Mayhew, the present Milford post
master, is the best we have ever seen in this
city during this long span Of time
Not once during his administration here
has he ever refused any reasonable request
for service from the Milford Chronicle. The
newspaper is one business which must have
prompt and efficient handling if the readers
and advertisers are to get maximum bene-
fit from their chosen medium of information.
Numerous times Postmaster Mayhew has
gone out Of his way to see chat promptness
on the part of postoffice employees made it
possible that you, the readers, should get
your copy Of the Chronicle on time.
While we do not agree with Postmaster
Mayhem on political issues, he has a right
to his opinions just as have you or any other
one of us. So far as we know, he has never
used his Office for political party advantage.
He is doing a good job here in Milford. Mil
ford citizens, without political affiliation,
should see that he is kept on the job should
future developments indicate that change
is contemplated

CONCLUSIONJ
PROFITS PROSPECTS, STOCKS
AND BONDS

4S. For The year as whole
look for business profits to be
slightly lower than in 1852 Earn
ings will be better during the early
months. with a decline occurring
later in the year. Profits margins
will be cut by sitter competition
from both domestic and foreign
sources.
IA. Recently upped wages, plus
some additional 1853 boosts, will
also put heavier cost pressure on
profits.
As. Some companies that have
been hard hit by excess-profits
taxes may show improved earnings
when the excess-profits tax expires
June 3d.
46. There will be a cushion un-
der falling profits provided by the
current very high tax rates. If
profits slide, Uncle Sam will share
the heavier loss. This vevy fact,
however, will make it difficult for
Congress to reduce the rate Of tax
atiOn
AZ \ Stocks are high historically.
Milford chronicle., 1953-01-02

If you're still gullible enough to believe
that we can pay most or even a substantial
part of the incredible cost of government by
soaking the rich" some facts that Senator
Walter George presented in a recent article
will come as a rude awakener.
If Congress cOnfiscated all taxable income
over 100000, by imposing a flat 100 per
cent tax at that level, the amount of addi-
tlOnal revenue would be sufficient to operate
the Federal government for four hours.
If all table income over $4,000 were con-
fiscated, the yield would run the government
for three days.
If everything above $4,000 was taken
in toto by the tax collector, it would pay the
governments bills for 16 days.
Finally, if Congress shot the works by
imposing 100 per cent tax on all income
above $4,000, the additional revenue would
keep the government going for p days.
This being true, who must pay the great
bulk of the governments Spending-and who
must pay almost all of future tax increases
if they come? The answer is, people of small
and moderate means-the people who work
Tor wages and modest salaries, the people
who have little businesses, the people who
represent the majority of Americas pOpu-
latiOn and are the backbone Of Americas
strength.
They must pay~it for the simple reason
that no one else can. There just aren't enough
"rich" to make dent in the spending
N1OC&
THE RIGHT NOT TO BE ORGANIZED"
During the campaign President-elect
Eisenhower said that he would recommend
a change in one part of the Taft-Hartley
law, on the grounds that it might be con-
Strued in a manner unfair to labor. Senator
Taft has agreed that this change is desirable.
In a recent editorial, the Los Angeles
Times said that the law should be streng-
thened in one more all-important particular
sit should assert the right to work." The
Times added, 'We should protect the right to
organize, and do. But as a necessary cOrOl-
larry, and in fairness the right not to be or
gained must also be protected"
Here the paper was referring to the
closed shop and its variants, such as the
union shop. In either case, the worker must
belong to the union and pay dues whether
he wants to or not. If he refuses to Join the
union or resigns he loses his job. And So
as the Times also said, "he is at the mercy
of union officials against whom he has nc
recourse
Several states have written into law
fright to work" statutes of one kind or an
other, and have made the closed shop illegal
This was not done as part of "anti-labOr'
feeling or agitation. 1t was done to protect
the worker, and the public from the excesseS
and domination of labor leaders.
1t is as bad to say man must join {
union to hold job as it is to blacklist mar
because he belongs to union. The last was
outlawed long ago. The first should be out
lawed now.

War. But don't expect removal of
price controls to help profit mar
sins.
INTENSE COMPETITION
PREDICTED
3. Salient economic feature is
the fact that our productive capac-
ity has now been expanded to the
point where, barring World War
III, output can take care of both
arms and civilian needs.
4. The handwriting is on the
wall against inefficient operators.
Their days are numbered. The sue
cessful businessman next year will
be the one who can control his
costs and stay out front in his
market.
.. l strongly urge my business
friends to get out and SELL, and
SELL HARD next year; but hire
the best cost accountants you can
for the back Office. "Order takers"
will find fewer jobs as 1853 moves
along.
WAR AND PEACE
6. My forecasts for 1853 are
made on the assumption that World
War III viii not strike during the
year. However, I want to make it
clear that "all bets are off" the
day Stain dies or retires.
z. The H-bOmb gives us another
lease on time. Our first lease, from
Hiroshima in 1945 to the Russian
A-bOmb explosion in 1949, vas
frittered away in idle pickering.
This time we will have another
'breather." 1t may be our last
chance
8. 1853 will be most important in
the struggle for World Peace. We
will need more than an H-bOmb
to win the peace. We shall need a
great rise of spiritual strength,
which is not now evident
NO NEW BUSINESS BOOM
8. The long business boom fol-
lowing World War II was begin
ming to run out of steam when the
Korean War gave it Q new lease
on life. However, the stimulus of
defense spending is already fading
Barring further international trou-
bles, defense activity in 1858 will
be a floor under, and not new
stimulus to, business activity.
10. Capital expansion will move
into a readjustment phase some
time in 1858. This has been an
outstanding economic force behind
our long period of good times. New
ertheless, I do not now anticipate
any sharp break in business. If a
slide starts it should be gradual
not steep.
II. Big credit expansion has
been a powerful "shot in the arm
for business during the past two
years. / predict that in 1853 loan
repayments will become more i'm.
pOrtant than new credit advances
This could handicap overall bust
ness unless advertising expendi
lures are increased.
70. Under an Eisenhower Ad
ministratiOn 1 do not look for ex
Dansion of our money supplies as {
result of increased deficit financ
ing. Thus. another stimulating
, force will be absent next year de
spite the better confidence follow
! ing the Eisenhower landslide.

Postmen May Lodge
Protest on Letters
Marked Occupant

Spokesman for the National
Letter Carriers Association said
today they may lodge a formal
protest with the Post Office De-
partment because Of its new
"simplified addressing" order
which is increasing the flow OF
direct-mail advertising.
The order was issued two
weeks ago by the department. It
cancelled a previous regulation
that all mail advertising must
carry the name of the addressee
Now mail can be sent addressed
only to "occupant"-a practice
which greatly simplifies things
for advertisers but, according to
the postmen, makes life tougher
for them.
Volume Jumps.
According to the Letter Car
riers Association, a terrific VOL
ume of low-grade mail" has
started flowing through the Post
Office Department.
This interferes with the
prompt handling of regular
mail" spokesman said, "be-
to deliver anything anybody
cause the carrier is now expected
wants to dump on the house
holder"
A spokesman for the Depart
ment, however, said the new or
der saves clerical and carrier
time"
Under the previous regulation
the spokesman said, time had to
be spent sorting the mail ac-
cording to zone, street number
and name. Now the advertising
matter Is distributed in bundles
to each carrier and all he has
to do is make sure each resi-
dence gets a copy.
Load Is Limited.
The department spokesman
pointed out that each load OF
mail is limited by law to nc
more than 35 pounds. Also, he
said, carriers work an eight-houl
day with time-and-a-half fol
overtime.
"The Department." he said
"has a policy of Immediately ad.
justing any routes that are over
burdened or likely to become
overburdened."
The Letter Carriers Associa-
ton. however, says it's coins
to take the matter up at a boarc
meeting on october 5, with q
possible formal protest to follow
The department spokesman
indicated the department has nc
intention Of changing the order

0usted Dock Union
Plans Deals With
Shippers, AFL Says
By the Assoeiatsd Press


ST. LOUIS, Sept. 26. - The
AFL executive council declared
today that the longShoremen's S
union ousted from the AFL for
alleged gangSter control is try
ing to make "colluSive" contracts
with New York harbor stevedor-
ing firms.
A council statement called on
Federal, State and city authori-
ties as well as responsible citi-
zensP to appeal to employers
against signing contracts with
the ouSted union.
The AFL convention here this
week kicked out the Interna-
tional Longshoremen's Associa-
ton, long headed by Joseph P.
Ryan, currently under indict-
ment for misuse Of union funds,
and set up a rival union with
the same name. The convention
ended yesterday.
The ousted AFL group, with
10000 members on the Atlantic
and Gulf coasts and in Great
Lakes ports, was charged with
harboring criminal elements in
the New York waterfront area.
Charges Members Ignored.
The council said the ousted
group is proceeding on the COM
pletely selfish motive Of perpetu-
ating its control regardless Of
the best interests of the work
ers."
1t said the most glaring proof
Of this" is that the ouSted union
has reduced its wage increase
demands from so to 10 cents an
hour without consulting the
unions members.
The ousted union has been
negotiating new contracts to re-
place agreements expiring next
Wednesday night.
AFL President George Meany
told reporters the AFL was not
trying to stir up a New York
waterfront strike by appealing to
employers not to sign new agree
mentS with the ousted union.
He said the AFL felt, however,
a strike would be a lesser evil
than having the ousted union
signed to long term contracts
perpetuating its rule.
Chairman Elected.
Larry Long, St. Louis, was
elected chairman of the newly
chartered AFL longshoremen's
group. and E. L. Slaughter,
Duluth, Mimi, secretary. The
unions temporary headquarters
will be in st. Louis.
Mr.. Long said 95 locals of the
ouSted union, with a membership
OF 1000 mostly in Great Lakes
ports, already have applied to the
new union for membership.
Mr.. Meany said eight of the
New York Harbor locals have
indicated they may switch to the
new union. He declined to name
them and indicated the new
union will screen the leadership
of any New York waterfront
group before accepting it into
the new AFL longShore union.
