Shorter Work Week

John L. Lewis who has always been a
tough, bitter, no-holds-barred fighter for his
mine-Workers, and who has gotten his boys
the highest pay-scale in Labor, has told them
flatly: "If you want to stop eating 50 much
and loaf more, we can get you the six-hour
day"
We've been thinking our days are pretty
long too 1t would seem like semi-retirement
for an editor to go to the 40-hour week. But
we just don't know how we'd buy the fish
hooks we'd need for all that leisure
And even if this crisis-torn nation didn't
go to you-knoW-Where in a hand basket
economically, we can't help wondering how
long the rank and file of us could physically
survive more idle time. Some would have
to work 40 hours-or more-just to rescue
the rest from the accidental shooting, drown
ings, highway mayhem and assorted immola-
tion associated with modern recreation!
1t is a tribute to 'sorely-tempted human
judgment-and a mercy, too-that a recent
Gallup poll has shown that people lin all
categories) are opposed to the shorter week.
Even manual workers voted only 80 per cent
in favor, SIS per cent against, six per cent
having no opinion.

Red China'S Friends


Pressures continue in many
devious ways to obtain the
diplomatic recognition of Red
China by the United States. This
is a clear pattern reflected in
mail which l receive weekly.
It is interesting that such mail
does not come from the people
of the 18th District, where there
seems to be almost unanimous
feeling that we should not do
business with the same govern
ment that we fought in Korea.
In fact, my public opinion polls
in 1856 and 1857 showed over
900 of the persons in the dis
trict opposed to formal rela-
tions with Red China. Instead,
the pressures break into three
general categories. The first is
economic in nature wherein
some business interests remem-
Der only that China is an i'm
mense potential market for
American goods and that in 1947
we exported $120 million worth
of products to that country
Today, of course, we do not
trade with the mainland of
China. Others cite a belief that
we should obtain absolute free
dom of international trade and
that SO long as we withhold
recognition, this freedom cannot
be obtained. A third group re-
fleets the attitude that whether
we like it or not the Red Chinese
government exists and we must
recognize it. This group ignores
the need to enforce international
morality and, in fact, works to
benefit Red China.
If the Communist regime is
recognized, it will be victory
of these presSures over the will
of the people. l do not believe
such a victory is at all probable,
although those groups continue
to work for their goal.
Opportunity for Education
Last week young men from the
18th District were nominated to
compete for Ohio's vacancies in
July 1858 at the Air Force and
Merchant Marine Academies.
Since the announcement, l have
received several expressions
from parents and young men
that they were unaware of the
competition for the nominations
even though it was announced
through the district newspapers,
radio, and television, as well as
through each high school super
intendent or principal in the
seven counties.
1t is important that possible

Deep down inside of him, every man
(we're not SO sure about every Woman) is
lazy and shiftless. We don't want to work
for works sake. We haven't been out of the
trees long enough.
But the hard fact is we can no longer
get banana or a cocoanut by merely reach
ing for it. We have to work to eat And since
it has become the custom to wear clothes
and live in houses and give our kids better
start than we had, it has also become the
custom to work What is called ambition"
is a liking for money, or things, or social
standing or leadership among our fellows
that is stronger than our dislike of work.
Thus, when labor leaders raise the issue
of a shorter work week, they are playing
with human dynamite And when they
explain, as Walter Reuther has, that they
are seeking not merely fewer hours of work
but a still fatter pay envelope the lure is
atomic!
Less work at higher pay means less
goods-at tremendously higher cost. And, as
we know from sad experience, when goods
are scarce, the competition is not to find
buyers but to find gs-to-sell-and prices
go through the roof. If you think we have
initiation now, just hold your hat!

Belle Valley

One of the six Incorporated
villages in Noble county is Belle
Valley, and located three miles
north of Caldwell. In the early
days it become a settlement of the
pioneer stock of newcomers in
this locality and continued it's
growth ever thereafter until its
present stage was reached. Today
the village has one high school,
one grade school and three
churches, besides a number of
places of business and many resi-
lenceS.
Perhaps the most prominent
md widely known resident of
the community was the Hon.
Chris Mckee, who resided a short
distance to the north and who
was the owner of the land he
later sold to the Cambridge Col
Eeries Company, which opened
deep shaft and continued coal
mining operations for many years
following or until the territory
was worked out. It was in this
mine that in 1913 an explosion
occurred in which the lives Of
some Is miners were snapped out
in an instant. Mr.. Mckee was ever
known for his acts of charity and
general kindness to all. He was
an extensive oil prospector for
many years, having drilled more
than one hundred test wells, but
never succeeded to any great eX-
tent in finding the coveted liquid.
However, the opening of the coal
mine did furnish great employ
ment for many years as did his
search for oil. So popular did he
become throughout the 9th-14th
Ohio senatorial district, that al
though a Democrat, he was elect
ed and served one term in the
state senate of the general assem-
bly,. He also was twice elected as
representative from Noble county
to the Ohio legislature.
Other prominent and popular
business men of the community
in the long ago, were V. E. (Ned)
Harkins (merchant and founder
Of the now First National Bank
in CALDWELL and his business as
sociate, Fred Combs, Cleve Dye,
funeral director; Dick Parrish,
hardware dealer, and numerous
others as the years passed, as well
as DR.. F. R. Dew and DR.. thinner
man, physicians.
While the Bellaire, GAINESVILLE
and Cincinnati railroad was being
built between Woodsfield and
GAINESVILLE in 1882, Belle Valley
was the diversion point between
the two places. Engine No. 7 was
shipped to Belle Valley and used
in building the track in both di-
r6ctions therefrom. John Ably was
the engineer.

a weather eye out for the
White House dinner list hon.
oring the King of Morocco.
People in private life can
entertain whomever they
choose and it's nobody's bust
ness but their own. But Who
ever the President and First
Lady entertain at a state
dinner becomes everybody's
business.
Little do the Eisenhowers
realize what a reaction their
dinner list for Queen Eliza
beth II caused in local draw
ing rooms.
The people who were not
invited and wished they had
been pointed out that Eliza
beth and Philip did not meet
a cross section of the great
names in America. They did
not meet the leaders in any
field of American science,
letters or art, although they
undoubtedly know many by
name through the British
press.
Strictly Business
Instead they met Sigurd
Larmon. president of Young
81 Rubicam, Inc. (advertis-
ing); Barry Leithead, chair
man of Cluett, Peabody &
Co. Shirts; Ellis Slater,
head of Seagram's (whiskey);
Lucius Clay, chairman of
Continental Can Co.; George
Humphrey, chairman of Ma
tional Steel; Robert Wood
ruff, chairman of Coca Cola;
Walter Hoving, head Of Bon
wit Teller and Tiffany's;
Bill Paley. head of CHS; Mel
son Rockefeller, Standard
Oil; Mrs. Floyd Odlum, head
Of Jacqueline Cochran Cos
metics and wife of owner of
Northeast Airlines, and so
forth. All big business plus
the Presidents own and Off
cial family and about four
social Westinghouse.
Now that the second sue
cessful Sputnik has been
launched, there's some con-
occurring as to what effect
the new science-minded cli-
mate Of the Capital will have
on the social picture.
Washington society will
take its cue from the White
House. The key man in de-
mand at the White House has
always been the ace that
would trump any hostess
soiree.
If the President gives So
cial recognition to the leaders
in science equal to the recog-
milton he has given them
publicly in his two recent
speeches. look for the rest Of
official society to follow suit.
1t wouldn't surprise Capital
observers If the state dinner
list for the King of Morocco
includes at least one or two
names such as DR.. James
Killian, special assistant to
the President on Science and
Technology: DR.. Harold Tell
er of the University of Cali
fornia, who developed the
hydrogen bomb; DR.. John P.
Hagen. director of Project
Vanguard (satellite) DR.. Alan
Waterman, head of the Ma
tional Science Foundation:
Prof. Lyman Splitter, jr.. head
of Project Matterhorn ex-
ploring peaceful uses of the
atom, or DR.. Joseph Kaplan.
head of the United States
Committee for the Interna-
tional Geophysical Year.
Even if all six attended the
same dinner, science would
have a smaller representa-
ton than business had on
the last state banquet at 1900
Pennsylvania avenue.

Twenty four thousand widows

1, 1857 may lose money unless
they apply for the higher death
compensation payments by July

teranS Administration,
which released the announce
ment today, said approximately
10000 widows already have ap-
piled for the higher payments.
VA originally estimated that
all the 114,O0O widows receiving
compensation for the service
connected deaths of their hus-
bands before January /, 1857,
approximately 100000 were quail
flied to receive the higher pay

The $4,000 who have not ap-
piled as yet have until July l

to receive the higher payments
retroactive to January 1 under
the Survivor Benefits Act which
became effective January l.
Most of the widows who apply
after July / will find that the
higher payment will become ef-
fective as of the day their ap-
plications are received, VA said.
Those who apply for the new
benefit but who would receive
more under old laws will be ad-
vised by VA against the wrong
choice of payment
VA said widows who do not
apply for the new benefit will
continue to receive death COM
pensation at the same rate as

may be eligible for the increased
payments under the Survivor
BENEFITS Act.
Advice about applying for the
