This is especially unfortunate,
coming at a time when Russia has
thrown the U. S. into a business
recession which employers as well
as wageWorkers are Euw suffer-
ing. Yet this is a time when a
Senator or Congressman thinks he
can help his reelection by claim
ing that capitalism is the carse of
the recession. All of this is most
unfortunate. Although govern
ment appropriations and other
gimmicks may temporarily help
employment, they will not be a
permanent cure.
How To Prevent Strikes New
Solution of the threatened strike
problems and shortening of the
present recession depend upon all
parties-labor leaders, employers,
and consumers - forgetting old
prejudices and accepting the fun
damental laws of sound impartial
economics. These call for manu-
facturers and retailers to willing
ly accept less profits, and for
wageworkers to ask now for no
increases.
This means that, as wage con-
tracts come up for renewal, labor
leaders should unanimously urge
renewal on present terms. 1t may
be necessary for employers to de-
mand cut in wages or fringes, but
this should be only to effect
compromise and renewal on the
same terms. This would give the
labor leaders some opportunity TO
show their union members what
they have accomplished for them.
1t would both increase employment
in the U. S. and prove a blow to
Russian propaganda.

Airman Indicted In
Fatal Road Crash

Clarence C. Arnold, 38, an air
man stationed at the Dover Air
Force Base. was indicted by the
Kent County Grand Jury, Monday
of this week on a charge of man
slaughter resulting from a fatal
automobile collision on June IA
The victim of the accident was
Lawrence Francis Sharp, 1S, of the
1000 block West Seventh St, Will
mington. He was one Of five Will
mington youths in a car operated
by William Lewis Bartlett.
According to the allegations,
Bartlett was driving south on U. S.
113 and Arnold, technical ser
geant, was driving north, when, for
some reason, Arnold crossed the
center line. The accident occurred
near the air base.
The Arnold bill of indictment
was the only one presented for the
action of the grand jury although
it had been intended to seek a
second-degree murder indictment
in the case of Sgt. Davis Vest, 27,

The case has been listed as con-
tinued until the September term
of court.
Judge William ]. Storey was on
the bench for today's grand jury
session. The session had been adj
vanced two weeks earlier than
scheduled to speed the Vest case.

ers and the Capitalists" so-called
Hence, they did not listen to what
these preachers and teachers were
telling their students. Furthermore,
if too many boys mentioned that
their economic instructors defend
ed labor unions and strikes, such
instructors often lost their jobs.
In the meantime, the labor lead
ers were constantly getting more
pay for their wageworkers for few
er hours of work. Hence, the wage
workers respect for labor leaders
increased as their respect for prea-
chers and teachers decreased.
Moreover, these labor leaders were
under attack from other ambitious
workers who strove to get their
positions. AS a result, the labor
leaders were compelled to win
higher wages and shorter hours
every year. or they would not be
reelected and the plum would go
to others. These plums were worth
from $4,000 to $4,000 per year.
This is the situation at present.
Labor Being Investigated
Finally, many labor leaders were
not content to provide feather
beds" for their union members, as
has so successfully been done by
the leaders of railroad unions, but
too many of them did feather their
own nests. This has resulted in
Congress making investigations of
both large and small graft. Sena-
tor Kennedy's bill has been tim
id step to stop such graft. He had
been succeeding until the Sher-
man Adams episode nearly wreck

History OF Labor Movements
Few readers realize that very
little attention was given to labor
matters by employers or govern
ment officials until 1913 when the
Department of Labor was formed
and w. B. Wilson was made it's
head and a member of the Presi-
dents Cabinet. Mr. Wilson was a
| friend of mine and | wrote his bio
graphy,-publishe by Brentano's
in 1919.
The founder of the labor union
movement in the u. s., Samuel
Gompers, was also friend of
mine. Forgive me for rehearsing
these details, but l know most
readers of my weekly columns are
members of labor unions. I want

Dear Friends:
1t seemed like such a little in

before we knew it we were rush
ing our Boston Bull. "Sambo" to
the vets for emergency treatment
AS soon as l heard the dog fight
l ran to the door. / know Sam"
took ON any dog any size and |
was sure he would be in the thick
of it. l yelled to Lynne to go get
"Sambo" and bring him home. She
was on her way and soon rushed
back home in Mysteries. One of the
dogs had gouged out our dogs eye.
1t was a horrible sight for anyone
to see and it seemed that every
child was there to witness it.
The veterinarian assured us he
had had other such cases and every
thing worked out fine. The dog
woulS just live with one eye. 1t
was hard for all of US to think
about. We have had this dog for
four years and he had always been
perfect pet-lovely to the chill
dren, good watch dog, fun to play
with, always hurt when he knew
he had upset us in any way He
was just another child.
We were busy the day after tie
dog fight with Dawn's birthday
party and later in the afternoon q
Fourth of July picnic with IL mann
mas and papas and children. 1t was
a full day.
This morning at $3.50 the veteri-
narian's shocked voice announced
to US that Sam had died during the
night Hayes and I can't even talk
about our loss; it hurts so much.
Therefore we just haven't been
able to conjure the right words to
tell our two daughters.

! RECESSION ENDING

From numerous quarters come encourag-
ing news. Those of us who have been worried
lest we become enguifed in full-blewn de-
preston have been reassured. And while we
are not positive that the recession has touch
ed absolute bottom, many think that it has.
And one can be fairly certain that this
readjustment was a recession, and is not to
be another depression-Which is one source
of relief to the worried. Spending is remain
ing high. Government spending is increasing
and pay raises have been granted millions.
Inventories are decreasing in many areas
and production has picked up in some.
There are many predictions now that a
business upturn will be felt in the autumn.
The summer will be slow, to be sure, but if
the upturn is to be felt in autumn, then, that
is not far away. The official forecast is for
the cost of living to remain relatively stable.
We might have seen the worst of the re-
cession, then. And as long as there is some
thing to look forward to that is better, it is
encouraging. In many areas the farmer has
already experienced better times this spring,
though not in all.
From the political standpoint, the ending
ef the recession could be a blessing to the
Republicans. From the economic standpoint,
the upturn will be good news to all Ameri-
cans. The United States, in these times of
challenge from Communism. certainly cannot
afford a depression. The recession has been
wcrrv enough.

LESSON OF THE RECESSION

According to news reports, business and
employment are picking up. This is good
news. But the recession of the past few
months reveals something that deserves a
lot of thought by all who value the ideal of
individual freedom That something is the
new relationship between government and
private citizens. At the first sign of down.
turn government was called upon to "do
something" in an economy supposedly dedi-
Gated to the principle of the free market
and competitive enterprise. The first re-
action to recession was an instructive at
tempt to pass the initiative to the central
government. And why not?
For more than a generation, the philos-
oIhy of the welfare state has been assidu-
0usly promoted At the same time corpor-
alton taxes, social security taxes, personal
income taxes, excise taxes, taxes by the score
have scared to the point where the average
person spends approximately third of his
productive hours working to pay them.
Aside from psychological conditioning for
acceptance of the welfare state, neither in
dividuals aor businesses under present tax
laws are permitted to retain enough of the
money they earn to cushion themselves a.
gainst normal exigencies. Basic industries,
winch furnish the necessities to an expand
ing population are faced with an increasing
ly grim problem which can be described in
three words--infiation Cor rising costs),
taxes and over-regulation. These three evils
are slowly backing the free market private
enterprise system into corner.
The recession brought demands for tax
cuts They will have to come. But there
also viii have to be tax reform to rebuild
some of the strength and resiliency of our
people and industries to meet the inevitable
ups and downs of free market, free enter
prise country.
This is the lesson of the current recession.
