City Manager UzzIe
Is Doing A Fine Job

The Daily Record extends congratulations to DunnS
city council for its good judgement in retaining the
vices OF City Manager B Uzzle and giving him vote
of confidence.
We believe that Mr. Uzzle is doing splendid job here
city manager He is Conscientious energetic and hard
working official who endeavors to do the right thing
Citizens who have come in contact with Mr.. Uzze
official business matters have found him to be courteous
cannot agree with all citizens who call him with re-
quests but his decisions always backed up with good
logical reasons
Although he's pleasant, easy-going fellow, Mr..
Uzzle has demonstrated many occasions that he
be firm stick by his guns once decision is made
He has had the courage to frequently disagree
with the city and that IS fitting and proper We
do not need Eyes Man in that job When the board is
wrong it is the duty of the city manager to straighten
them out
We believe Mr.. Uzzle to be the sort of man who will
take them out not the sort of
man who will compromise his principles
We have had some unfortunate experiences with city
managers here and all the fault has not been the city
manager There something wrong with elected
officials when they proved they couldn't get along with
three different city managers.
Our hope is that the city council will let Mr. Uzzle
him who should be chief of police street sweeper ditch
digger.
The the city manager plan did not work here
previously was because of petty politics and the fact that
the mayor and commissioners not willing to give them
the authority prescribed by law
We have utmost confidence in Mr. Uzze We believe
he knows about running town than the mayor and
the board will know He has about 20 years of
perience behind him. and knows what should be done.
If the mayor and commissioners will lay aside politics
and give the city manager complete and absolute authority
then the town will make progress.
Otherwise, we'll continue to have the same sort of
mess wrangng and pickering that have had for the
past four years.

AS a result, Democrats decided
to let the Republicans stew in

"a strong Republican president

ABE LINCOLN'S BOAT
One day in December 1928,
young Abe Lincoln pushed a crude,
homemade flatboat out on the Ohio
River at Rockport, Ind, to COM
mence what some historians have
termed "one of the most important
trips in history.
Today, 125 years later, Indiana's
new Republican Congressman, D.
Bailey Merrill, has asked the Ma
tional Park Service to make Ma
tional shrine of the three-acre site
of the ferryboat landing from which
young Abe launched his homemade
flatboat at the start of that his
toric journey.
"Abe was only 10 years old at
the time" Congressman Merrill
tells the story. HE and his COM
panion, Allen Gentry. were taking
a cargo of farm produce down the
Ohio and Mississippi to be sold in
New Orleans, the emporium OF the
West.
six weeks later the two young
men from Indiana arrived in New
orleans, sold their cargo and flat
boat and spent several days roam
ing throughout the glittering met
ropolis of 10000 people.
New Orleans" recounts the
CONGRESSMAN, was the first major
city young Abe had ever seen. He
was fascinated by its great wealth,
its brilliant gardens, and the gen.
teel speech of the city folk,
But young Lincoln also got his
first glimpse of a slave market,
where men, women, and children
we're auctioned to the highest bid
der.
"Abe watched the proceedings
with unbelieying eyes, and, accord
ing to records of the Gentry fam
lily. remarked to his companion,
Allen Gentry, if I ever get chance
to hit that business, I'm going to
hit it hard
That" says the Congressman,
"was a turning point in Abe's life
in effect. a turning point in
American history The entire three
month journey had profound eff
feet on young Lincoln and helped
to mold his later philosophy re-
garding slavery.
"Inasmuch as that trip altered
history" says Merrill. II think the

the savings. Figures he'll have to
hire more clerks in New York to
take over from those fired in Wash
ington and where's the percentage
in that?
Accountant Newman said Gov
Seybold and Co., were doing a con-
structive job in Panama, all right
but a number of things still panied
him He meant items like the army
spending $230,000 to grade a new
subdivision to house the help and
then deciding that was bad idea
Down the drain" he said, was
where that $230,000 went.
A good deal of new housing is
being built in the Canal Zone ever
so, he continued, and Is percent OF
it is devoted to quarters for house
maids. He doubts the wisdom OF
this, because all Canal Zone maids
are Panamaians, who like to &C
home at night. Furthermore said
the portly Newman, if the army
had maintained its old houses q
little better it probably wouldn't
need so many new ones.
He weighs $50 pounds and wher
he went calling on one of his owr
men, who lived in a wooden house
built in 1907, his foot went through
the front stairs.
So along came Gen. Seybold with
some rebuttal. He said the weather
was SO hot and sticky that his owr
wife couldn't take care of her owr
house without a maid.
He said also that it cost like sir
to live in the Canal Zone, even il

WASHINGTON - Inside facts
do not bear out Speaker Joe Mar
tins optimistic, but somewhat
guarded prediction that Congress
will go along with Ike and continue
excess profits taxes.
Congressional leaders, including
Martin himself, agree privately
that if Ike is to continue excess
profits taxes he will have to come
down from the ivory tower and
begin slugging it out with his Cap
itol Hill foes. Even then, his
chances appear slim, despite the
Presidents popularity with the peo-
Pile.
Some Congressman think that
Ike has too long delayed a show
down with Congressman Dan Reed
of New York and other adversar-
les in the House. Kicking the Ad-
ministration in the teeth and get
ting away with it, so they figure
they can do the same.
Reed forces are cocky, well Or
ganized, and full of fight
Furthermore, they have the votes
as of noW-to beat Eisenhower in
a showdown on taxes. A confiden-
tial White House survey of Reeds
House Ways and Means Committee,
following secret meetings of COP
and Democratic committee men,
bers last week, indicates that Ike
can count on only one to three
Republican votes, plus seven Dem
ocrats, with about fifteen COM
nittee votes against him.
At the COP closed-door meeting,
Speaker Martin and Majority
Leader Charles Halleck Loyalty
stuck by Ike. Against them was a
stubborn, but silent, wall of oppo-
sition. Perceiving that a substan-
tial Majority of Reeds COP COL
leagues on the Ways and Means
Committee were standing with
their chairman. the Speaker didn't
pursue the issue. He urged every
one to vote conscientiously, but
warned that split in COP ranks
could only help the Democrats win
the 1854 Congressional elections.
Even more significant was the
secret caucus of Ways and Means
Democrats. Hitherto, Democrats
have been Eisenhower's best sunp-
porters. But this time, leaders Sam
Rayburn and John Mccormack
declared it was time to call halt
to the curious phenomenon of
Democratic congressman saving
the President from the under-cut-
ting of his own Republican party.
Obviously irked by Ike's speech
blaming Democrats for his prob
lens, Rayburn said he couldn't un-
derstand the Eisenhower logic of
lambasting Democrats one day and
pleading for their votes the next.
Mccormack, Rep. Jere Cooper of
Tennessee, and others also spoke
that if Eisenhower is successful in
suspending the Social Security 2

WASHINGTON = It's a small
matter, maybe, closing up the Wa
shington office of the Panama Ca
nal Co., down by Ford's Theater on
10th ST., and saving maybe half a
million dollars a year. Peanuts IS
what bureaucrat would call this.
Back in 1921, when Warren G..
Harding was President, a special
commission recommended that the
local branch office of the Canal
Company, Federal subsidiary, be
shut down. nothing happened.
Nothing continued to happen
through the regimes of Calvin Cool
idge, Herbert Hoover Franklin D
Roosevelt, and most of that of Has-
nv Truman. Now this snallish office
in its ancient red brick building
is in process of being shut down
Had it been closed 80 years ago
when the subject first was mention-
ed, the savings to US taxpayers
would have amounted to $4,000
900. Figure interest at six percent
compounded semi-annually and the
cost of that office, which the Cen
eral Accounting Office claims we
never did need, becomes astrono-
mical.

say word. He's doubtful aboil'
