Your editorial, Cause for
Concern" indicated you are
quite disturbed because the
Government Unit is trailing
the business unit in quota
achieved In the UGF drive.
Your anxiety Is in sharp con-
trast to your indifference q
few months ago when Fed
eral employees were denied q
pay raise that was badly
needed and well deserved.
Have you noted that the
Government Unit quota was
increased IL per cent over
last year. whereas the bust
ness unit was increased only
IL per cent? And this de-
spite the fact that Govern
ment employees have had no
pay raises for nearly three
years. while the profits Of
business firms, the wages Of
their employees. and the prices
Of their products have spi-
raled higher and higher.
Your editorial states: Lack
Of q pay raise is not q good
excuse for contributing at
least as much this year as
last" Did you realize you
were distorting the picture
by not mentioning that Fed
eral employees are being asked
to contribute SO for every 81
contributed last year? Did
you consider that the same
pay check Of three years ago
win no longer buy as many
clothes. as much food or fuel
oil. or. for that matter. pay
the higher Assessment for
UGF?
Your crocodile tears over
the flag in contributions by
Federal employees to the UGF"
Is irritating because it is both
unfair and insulting to q
group that has always con-
tributed generously TO all
fund drives. What is vastly
more disturbing is that, like
50 many other groups and or
CARNATIONS. your paper does
not realize that, due to mig
gardly salaries. lack Of pres
tige, and constant irresponsi-
BILE criticism Of Government
employees. IL Is no longer pos
sible to get competent young
people to take jobs in civil
service. This should be your
real cause for concern.

18th Amendment

Regarding the disputed
Fourteenth Amendment. the
United States Constitution
Sesquicentennial Commission
has published THE Story Of
the Constitution" The fol-
lowing is an excerpt:
Secretary Seward made q
conditional certification Of
ratification on July 20. 1868:
but on July 81 Congress by
concurrent resolution de-
clared that the u4th) amend
ment had been ratified by 20
States and directed Secretary
Seward to promulgate it as
q part Of the Constitution,
which he did on July 20 In
a lengthy statement showing
that he acted under the
above order from Congress.
Since % States were the
required three fourths. and
New Jersey and Ohio had
withdrawn their acceptance.
1t appears that there were
only ~ States on record. II
is not surprising that Secre-
tary Seward was cautious in
his own defense when forced
to promulgate such an arbi-
trary resolution.
Since several States were
composed Of imported legis-
latures and since ratification
was a condition Of recon-
struction. 1t would again APP
pear to be illegal.
1t is the duty Of Congress
to summon a constitutional
convention and re examine
the Fourteenth Amendment.

Dear Sir:
What is your opinion Of
outdoor cookery
Il wouldn't have my hus-
band know for worlds. but !
am glad that cooler weather
has ended it here.
II was getting tired Of eat
ing meat raw on the inside
and black on the outside, and
saying that it was good.
My poor dear thinks he
can cook. but honestly he
can't do it one-tenth as well
as I can. II I do say it myself.
Il imagine that millions Of
American families sighed
with relief when the stove on
wheels was trundled to rest
for the season in the garage.
"Johnny-that's my hus-
band-thinks he is q cook.
and I humor him. as who
wouldn't. But actually he
can't boil water very well.
Il wouldn't say anything
before him. because he seems
to get so much fun out Of 1t.
But why does this style Of
cookery have to be outdoors?
II have tried to set him
UP as a chef in the kitchen.
but he spurns it.
why is this? What's the
matter with my nice kitchen?
Sincerely. MARY L. R."

It's a complex. my dear.
Men like to think of them
selves as brave outdoor crea-
lures. ready for any emer-

They also are. by nature,
gamblers.
Women like law and Or

like to gamble on the out
come.
No doubt they help give us
such civilization as we enjoy.
The modern fair for out

the fact that the armed

THE POLITICAL MILL
Pennsylyonio 6. b. p. Bestirs ITSELF
By GOULD lincoln

The Republican Party Of
Pennsylvania. badly split In
the gubernat0rial election OF
1854 and in the senatorial
election Of 1856, will try TO
stage O comeback next year
when a Governor. a Senator
and all 80 members Of the
House OF Representatives are
TO be chosen.
At present. there has been
no capitalization In the
choice Of a q. o. p. nominee
for either Governor or Sen
ator. But Harold r. 6tassen.
former Governor Of Minne-
sofa, former president Of the
University Of Pennsylvania
and at present principal dis
armament negotiator for the
United States. Is again inti-
mating strongly he win enter
the gubernatorial primary
next May. Since he gave UP
being Governor Of Minnesota
TO serve In the Navy during
the Second World War, Mr..
Stassen has tried twice for q
Republican nomination for
President-the second time
in 1852. when he claimed that
his candidacy was in reality
q help TO Gen. Dwight ID.
Eisenhower in Eisenhower's
race against the late Senator
Robert A. Taft Of Ohio.
Republican leaders in
Pennsylvania have shown no
enthusiasm for q Stassen
nomination for Governor. In
fact, o Statewide poll Of
party leaders last winter
showed only 5 out Of 217
thought he would be q strong
candidate. Mr.. Stassen, how
ever. has insisted he win 90

for support In q vigorous
campaign II he throws his hat
In the ring, and that he will
have q good chance for VIC
tory.
Leadership Lacking
Whether he can win or
not. Mr.. Stassen seems cor
rect in estimating that the
Republican leadership has
been pretty well shot to
pieces in recent years. The
last two Republican Gov
efnors-Duff and Fine--no
longer occupy dominating
positions. Mr.. Duff became
Senator and. running for re-
election last year. he lost to
Senator Clark. Democrat, be-
cause the Republicans were
unwilling to back him solidly.
President Eisenhower was
carrying the State in the
same election by 6O3, 900
plurality over Adlai Steven
son, his Democratic opponent
for the presidency. No longer
are heard the names Of the
Pews, the Grundys and the
Melons as leading figures
in the party. As Of today, the
Republican State chairman,
George Bloom: Jay Cooke.
the Republican National
Committeeman; Representa-
tive Richard NJ. Simpson. and
Representative Hugh Scott
are the most prominently
mentioned when @. o. P.
affairs m Pennsylvania are
under discussion.

Simpson have been men,

A long list Of hopefuls. for

of Allegheny County; Judge
Francis x. O,Brien Of the

Chairman Bloom and Q

Jay Cooke. who was once
Mr.. Stassen's campaign man

nomination. Mr.. Bloom is
the chief spokesman Of the
old Grundy faction and, as
State chairman, must be
reckoned with.
The Republicans believe
they have a good chance to
retain the Senate seat now
held by Senator Martin. who
has announced he will not
run again. and they hope to
regain the governorship. For

Union shocked the world with
its cruel repressions in Hun
gary. In protest. no Ameri-

at their famous october Rev.

its lowest mark since pre-
World War II.
But last night, at the
Soviet Embassy's annual re-
ception, Hungary was the
shadowy past and Sputnik
the ever-present reality.
And perhaps as great a
tribute as any to Soviet
science was the fact that all
