such private programs, while OF

hope to embrace the training
needs of the entire Federal

The administration bill would
allow agencies to send employees
to colleges or professional or
industrial establishments and
facilities for training purposes.
The employees would be paid
their regular salaries during this
period, which could be as long as
the agency deems necessary. Con-

What Minority?

wv f recently heard a political speaker
w express concern for the welfare of
the minority groups in the United States"
What minority groups?
Doesn't every American subscribe to the
principle that we are all immigrants or de-
scended from immigrants = that we are
"hyphenated Americans only because we
wish to perpetuate the culture and tradi-
lions of our nationality?
Why, then, worry about minority groups
when no such things exist, in fact, the
length and breadth of America?
X X
WE HAVE long felt that politicians
should look upon the American voter as an
intelligent person and abstain from linking
him with this, that or any other group.
The mere fact that we, for example, are
members of the Croatian Fraternal Union
does not set us aside as something to WOO -
]group-wise and cater to during election
time. That we resent for reasons of COM
mon sense.
Membership in the Croatian Fraternal
Union is something to be proud of. But we
don't take it to the polls with us when We
weigh the qualifications of those seeking
our vote for public office.
Membership in the GU, or any other
national group, is one thing; partnership in
America an entirely different matter. Poll
ticians should remember as much.

built by Andrew Carnegie
who, in his days, was consid-
cred as one of the richest men
in the world.
Many Pittsburgh old-timers
still remember this stocky
little man, with closely trim
med beard and a canny ex-
preston on his face.
Born in Scotland, he
came to America as a
young boy and soon after
wards settled in Pitts
burgh, which was becoming
the Steel center of the
world.
ID Like most other men of his
days, he started working in
the mills at small wages. With
his uncahny ability to learn
and observe, he soon worked
himself up and was on the
way to success before he
knew it.
He formed a partnership
with the late Henry Frick,
who also became a million
aire. Together they planned
and grew, adding more prop
critics and mills to their hold
ings. Soon they were to be-
come the biggest steel makers
in Pittsburgh.
Paid Laborers Poorly
But while Carnegie became
the great steel man, he also
had a heart of steel.
He paid his workers the
lowest wages possible, kept
them working for long hours
and otherwise tried to squeeze
the last drop of blood out OF
them. Many bitter strikes
were fought in his days with
the strikers invariably ending
on the losing side.
Once a friend of Carnegie
who was a little more liberia,
minded, asked him why he
didn't give his men a little
better pay, since he had be-
come so rich.
The little tyrant turned
abruptly to him and green
in the face with the rage
beloved out: Hell, why
should l give them more
money: I can get any num-

The Republicans in 1852 and again this

Wars and major depressions are nation

There is no sharp line that can be drawn
to show that from a certain point onward
war or depression was inevitable.
AS a matter of historical fact - the

several exhibits displayed in

son, which certainly required
a great deal Of time and pa

was % feet long when Tesla
produced it in his laboratory

The Tesla Luncheon
This luncheon was spon-
sored in cooperation with the
American Institute of Electri-
cal Engineers by the Tesla So
ciety. It was held in the Madi-
son Room from IL noon to
200 pm.
POSTMASTER at the lun-
cheon was Mr.. Anderson,
who introduced the speak
ers. One of them was Mr..
Elmer Gertz, who was gra-
duated from a technology
cal school but turned to law
and writing. His subject
was: "The Personality of
Nikola Tesla.
Mr.. Gertz is a wonderful
speaker, one who does not
raise his voice, a sort Of uni
versity professor lecturing to
students. Since this is also
the centennial of the famous
Irish play writer George Ber-
nard Shaw (born on July 26,
1856, in Dublin, Mr.. Gertz'
speech was a kind of compar-
alive study of two great men
in their respective fields. 1t
was very interesting and ed
vocational.
Testimonial A Success
! The other speaker at the
luncheon was Mr.. w. w. Will
helm, whose subject was: my
experience with Tesla.
Mr.. Wilhelm told us that
he worked with Tesla dur
ing World War 1 in Chica-
60, in 1916, at which time
Tesla worked for our gov
eminent. The nature of
work Was-turbine. .
Mr.. Wilhelm, who was
Tesla's assistant at that time,
described Tesla as a "kind
man to the workers.. 1t was
nice and pleasant to work
with him and for him. He ne
yer swore nor cursed.
Since the question of re-
ligiousness comes up now and
then, Mr.. Wilhelm said he
could not tell us much about
that, hut went on and told us
