KANSAS CITY c. or C..
STILL OPPOSED TO cO-OPS

TOPEKA-The state chamber of
commerce continues its opposition to
co-ops. Its tax and finance council
reaffirmed in December a 1851 state
ment that ''the exemption from taxa
ton of co-ops is not only unfair but
also places a handicap on the pri-
vate enterprise system" Leonard M.
Lowe, Kansas Cooperative Council
secretary d chamber member,
pointed out that no such exemption
exists and that the chamber is build
ing wall of i'll will between Kansas
businessmen and their farmer GUS
toners" One businessman, opposing
the action, said the decision twas
based on sentiment, not fact" The
Council then OKed tax exemptions
for new industries that might come
to Kansas.

served by the presence of a large

1t might be true, he said, that big

were relaxed" "But such action
would be, at best, temporary and
would be bought at the price of elm

Their increase of economic power and
ultimately higher prices all along the
line"
The League, Voorhis said, "has con-
stantly done what it could to pro-
tect the interest of genuine small scale
business, whether or not that bust
ness was cooperative.
Bills are pending both in the SEN
ate and the House to scuttle essen
tial provisions of the Robinson-Pat-
man act. Four bills-HR 635, HR
1901, HR ALTO, and HR 4931-before

State of New York, for the first

say it was time for change, and
perhaps that is so, just for the sake
of a change. But no adminiStra-

ever left Albany with a finer rec

recognition of Negroes is con-

was a trail blazer. Examine, for

Chairman Philip Young, Of the

out that in testimony before the

2,486 security risks among Gov

tied to the Government Services

sons and that this charge pre-

Young. Yesterdays account
quoted Baron Shacklette, direc-
tor of GSA compliance division.
as testifying in response to this
question from Representative
Yates, Democrat, of Illinois:
You mean of the 1853 there is
included those who died while
the investigation was going on?"
There were 100 examinations,
so destinations for their own rea-
sons and Is separations for other
causes. among which there would
be reduction in force and one or
two deaths"
Mr.. Young in his testimony
before the Senate committee
stated that the 2.486 security
risks included only those per-
sons discharged or those who re-
signed where derogatory infor-
nation was at hand. He pre-
sented a breakdown of the fig-
ures which included for GSA 100
discharges and so designations.
The 18 other separations re-
ferred to by Mr.. Shacklette were
not included.

the result that there is nothing

They urge a fourth rating step
such as excellent" to recognize
the employe who is above average
in his or her work and talents.
On the other hand, those ia
voring the present system say it
prevents favoritism and personal
patronage. whereby favorites of
supervisors received high ratings.
They said many abuses occurred
under the previous system in
