10th Anniversary Of Battle Of Manila Bay
Don't Give Up The Sip!

|NN SEPT. II, 1857, in the
~ office of the Secretary of
the Navy, Thomas S. Gates,
Jr., the Cruiser Olympia AS
sociation, Inc, received title
to the U.S.S. Olympia, flag
ship Of Admiral George Dew
ey, architect of one of Amer
icas greatest naval victories,
the Battle of Manila Bay in
the Spanish American War.
As a result the ship, built
by the Union Iron Works, now
the San Francisco Yard of
the Bethlehem Steel Compa-
ny, was saved from the scrap
heap and will eventually be-
come a national shrine as the
feature of a new marina be-
ing built for pleasure boats
by the City of Philadelphia.
The remarkable story of
how the ship was secured
for posterity is a fitting eli
max to the life of a vessel
whose service history pre-
sents many high points.
In addition to serving as
Dewey's flagship, the Olym-
pia at Murmansk in June,
1918, landed either the first
or second group of American
armed forces to set foot on
Russian soil during World

Poor Father

cHED A TEAR for poor old Dad. He may
- see Fathers Day June Is, 1859 pulled
from under him if too many people take to
heart what one DR.. Otto Won Mering of
Pittsburgh had to say about the family
breadWinner in recent speech.
DR.. Meringy of the Western Psychiatric
Institute and the University of Pittsburgh,
was addressing Family Living Institute
panel group April % when he let the sad
cat out of the bag.
Fathers entrance into the home,' ar
gued the good Doctor, lis often an Interrupt
ton of events In the home the mother is
child-centered and the father job-centered.
When he attempts to join in rearing the
children, he takes beating because he Of
ten does not have mothers experience. He
even gets beaten down by the children
That's what the man said!
Q We will not belabor DR.. Mering's COLI
tention that Ma has it all over Pa in the
matter of embarrassing experience. Show us
a good Mother who isn't superior in that
important respect.
But don't tell us that Father has to take
beating from anyone in the family circle
simply because he is a job-centered moron"
who has to work for living - whose mis-
sion in life is to feed so many hungry
mouths
AS the father of three children, we
would have DR.. Mering know that too many
parental hands in the family soup can lead
to revolution in which Nom and Dad bow,
as one, to their heirs apparent.
But not in our case.
Mrs. is the logical boss. The English
Editor who has to work for living, backs
her up 1909 in family matters - but does
not let the chips fall where they may.
And that's that, DR.. Mering.

Fraternal City

WYE SUGGESTED edltorlally more than
w year ago that the Mayor and Council
of the City of Pittsburgh be petitioned to
bring about the designation of this metro
polls as The Fraternal City,"
For the simple reason that Pittsburgh,
now in the midst of the greatest civic rem
aissance in the history of these United
States, is the home of
n@ more Fraternal Soce-
E ties than any other city
9Ss2S in the world
But nothing came Of
the suggestion and we shelved it until such
time as the idea might be included in
civic package deal of communicative in
terest.
That time is now at hand.
Now, yes now when this community
is beginning to look forward to great oc-
casion of nationwide interest.
r.
Q The City of Pittsburgh is planning
year-long celebration, beginning on Thanks
giving Day. 1858, of it's Bicentennial -
2OOth year - as All American center.
Even now the various local nationality
groups are "boning up on the roles they
will play in this celebration.
Even now the leaders of the Fraternal
Societies in this city are being asked to get
their members behind the Bicentennial and
help see it through to success.
Why not then, the launching at the
same time of a pedagogical drive to give
Pittsburgh name with a truly interna-
tional meaning "The Fraternal City"
X
. People the world over have long
known Philadelphia as THE City Of Broth
erly Love-; Rome as 1.-THE Eternal City,;
Portland, Ore, "The City of Roses; etc.
Names with meaning.
But none with deeper meaning to man
kind than "The Fraternal City,"
"F'raternalism, according to Webster's
New World Dictionary, is "a fraternal re-
lationship or spirit; brotherlness."
Without this spirit and brotherliness in
it's midst, Pittsburgh could never have un-
dertaken successfully the almost unbeliev-
able civic renaissance which has brought
it international attention and praise of the
first magnitude.
Why not then, crown her good with
brotherhood by calling on Mayor David
L. Lawrence and the members of City Coun-
Gil to name Pittsburgh "The Fraternal City,
on this the threshold of it's Bicentennial?
We rest our case.

Where 1t BeIonqed?

1t might be suspected that an AS
ISOLATED Press correspondent in Ware,
Massachusetts,. has failed to find "the
news behind the news" He filed story
that a distracted" income tax payer
mailed" his income tax return in a
trash box, but escaped trouble because
an observant policeman rescued the en-
velope and fed it into mailbox. The
policeman manifested devotion over and
beyond the call Of duty, and for this he
deserves commendation. There is
nagging thought, however, that perhaps
the taxpayer was not really distracted
at all; that he may just have made
cold FLOODED decision that his Form 1040
really belonged just where he put 1t.
Certainly there have been times when
most of us have felt exactly this way.

Sensible Counsel

Mariner s. Eccles, an influential
Government counselor in the New Deal
period of 1934-48, expressed some anti
New Dealish opinions before the Senate
Finance Committee this week.
Testifying on possible ways to COM
bat the current business recession, the
former chairman Of the Federal Reserve
Board departed from conventional New
Deal doctrine in three respects. He OPP
posed a massive public works program
highly favored method of economic
pump printing in those earlier years-as
"too slow" to produce desired results
He favored tax relief-but by formula
that would tighten the burden on corpo-
ration incomes as we'll as on all, small
and large, individual incomes. And he
blamed the demands Of organized labor
seldom criticized in those days-for
the paradox of steadily increasing prices
in time of business decline
In some respects, at least, his opin-
ions coincide with those Of the present
Republican administration. President
Eisenhower consistently has expressed
caution about the wisdom of huge public
works expenditures. At his latest news
conference, the President again warned
against spending billions for "tremen-
dous structures :. not needed by our
economy" pointing out that it takes
months and often years to create actual
employment through such a program.
And while the administration wisely is
still Withholding judgment on advisable
ity Of tax cut, spokesman have indi-
Gated that when and II one is recon-
mended 1t should benefit all segments OF
the economy.
AS for Mr.. Eccles' views about the
relationship Of labor costs to. prices, he
backed them up with one Interesting
statistical comparison. He said that
since 1850 labor's share of national in
come has increased 10 per cent while the
business share, represented by profits,
has fallen by 80 per cent. The profit
margin, he added, is not enough to alb
sorb constantly increasing labor costs
without some upward adjustment of
prices.
Obviously, Mr.. Eccles was not talk
ing politics" He was, instead, talking
sense-at time when sensible judg-
ment is needed.
