States, the distribution of families by income
groups.
In Noble county, 35.8 percent of all house
holds are listed with net incomes, after tax
es, of at least $4,000 year, as against 244
percent in 1856
The extent to which a community's total
earnings are divided among thee population
is an indicator of the well-being of the mass
of the people, more SO than is revealed by an
average income figure. 1t takes note of wheth-
or not an unusually large share goes to
small group at the top, leaving the other
is we'll distributed.
The figures for Noble county show that
the 35.8 percent of the households with in
comes of $4,000 or more receive 61.8 percent
of the total income
In the $1,000 to $4,000 bracket are ST.
percent of the households. They account for
1875 percent of the total income.
Households with incomes of $4,000 to
$4,000 net comprisee 267 percent of the total
and collect $50 percent of the overall income.

munist infiltration of the
United States government.
Now there was recently pub
liShed - two years after the
Senator's death - a book about
him which is a tissue of false
hoods, innuendOes, sneaky and
snide implications, and some of
the Vilest name-calling | have
ever seen in print. 1t is, in
other words, a thorough smear
job with no basis in fact or
truth. Here are just two eX-
angles, among dozen, Of the
gross mendaclty of this smelly
performance.
The book calls Senator Nc
Carthy vulgar" and "profane.'
But 1t was a cause for cOntin-
ual surprise among people who
knew the Senator that he sell
dom used even the everyday
CuSS words SO common in most
mems language - even though
he had plenty of proVocation.
Another faVorite smear of the
author of this book is that Sen
ator Mccarthy drank himself
to death. The proof? That dur
ing his last days he was seen
'lurching'' down the corridors
of the Senate Office Building.
The man who wrote this calls
himself a reporter. But he
never bothered to find out -
or if he did, he failed to report
it--that the Senator's so-called
"lurch" was due to a steel
brace on very painful leg.
All this, Of course, is no more
than we can expect from the
author of this smear. He was
once an editor Of the COM
mun;st magazine New Masses.
Later he worked for the far
leftWing magazine The Nation.
Now he's known as a liberal"
one of that large batch of
fuzzy-minded individuals who
bathe themselves in a sea of
hatred of all those who fight
the Reds and their dupes.
Now what has all this TO do
with the responsibility - or
irresponsibiliay - of the news
papers | have named? In the
old days, a baseless diatribe
like this would have been
ignored, or would have been
dismissed for what it is - a
deliberately planned libel of a
man who cannot fight back.

Upper Brackets

Significant shifts in income brackets have
been taking place in Noble county
Families that were in the $4,000 to $1,000
income group year or two ago have moved
up to the next higher category. Their place, in
turn has been taken over by families that
had been at the 500 to $4,000 level pre-
viously.
And that has been the story all along the
line, with the result that smaller proper
ton of families are in the lowest brackets
and larger percentage in the higher brack-
cts than ever before.
The gains have increased consumer buy
ing potential and have benefited business in
general. Economic studies show that most
purchases of durable goods are made by fam
lilies whose incomes are on the rise. The Fed
eral Reserve Board finds that such families
buy durable goods Is percent more frequent
ly than do families whose incomes are stable.
The changes in income structure are re-
vealed in an analysis made by Sales Man
agement in a copyrighted report covering
1858. 1t shows, for every county in the United

More and more United States companies
are building factories in other parts of the
world where labor is cheaper to make it poss
ible for them to compete in world trade and
to continue to supply the demands of this
country.
These developments are tangible evil
dence that the warning given repeatedly in
recent years that United States labor is pric-
ing itself out of the market is justified. The
danger has now reached a critical stage, and
is serious threat to the nations workers. A
new approach to labor-management agree
ments is essential to the welfare Of the whole
population as well as of emeployers and en-
ployes in industry. Marietta Times

"Apply now. Don't get caught
in the Rush"
This advice was offered today
by The Veterans Administrations
Office in Cambridge to all Korea
veterans planning to start school
in the fall under the Korean CT
Bill.
1t is pointed out that with
some 10000 veterans expected to
be in training this fall, last
minute rush must be expected,
resulting in possible delays.
To help the veteran get started
right this eight-point check list:
was issued.
l. Since the law allows vet
eran to change his CT course only
once, he should give plenty of
thought, in advance, to his goal
and to the training program lead
ing to his goal.
2. If he is undecided about
what to train for, he may ask fori
VA vocational counseling.
3. He should be sure that his
course has been CT approved by
the state in which the school is
located. VA regional Offices
and not VA headquarters in
Washington, D. c. - can furnish
information about approved
courses.
4. He should make all his own
arrangements for gaining admis-
sion to his school before he even
files application with VA.
S. The CT training application
should be completely filled out
and signed. The veteran should
send it, along with a photostat
Or certified copy of his separa-
ton paper, to the VA regional
office serving his area.
6. The application should get
to VA as soon as possible. This
will enable VA to smooth out
any snags before school begins.
7. A veteran with dependents
should have the necessary proof
of dependency ready when VA
asks for it. For a wife, this
would be photostat of the mar
riage certificate; for a child, a
| photostat of the birth certificate.
8. A veteran should take along
enough money of his own to tide
him over the first two months
of training. 1t takes about that
long, ordinarily, for the first
monthly CT check to reach him.
The reason is that payments
can be made only after each
month of training is completed,
and not before. Further, before
VA may make payment, it must
receive a certification signed by
the veteran and his school, stat
ing that he had been in class
all month. VA is allowed 20
days, under the law, after receipt
of certifications to get checks in
the mail.

ELECTRICITY A REAL
RARGAIN

From the Edison Electric Insti-
tute we have Just received some
statistics regarding the electrical
industry. What particularly in
terested US in mulling through
these figures is the very small
percentage Of disposable income
that we Americans spend for
electricity.
In contrast to the overall cost
of-living index, which has
climbed 235 percent above the
1947-1949 base of 100, the cleo
tricity index, covering certain
fixed quantities of electricity
used, has shown a gain of only
80 percent. In 1858, while the
most f-living index advanced
3.3 percent, the electricity index
increased only l.3 percent.
The cost of electricity in the
family budget is very small, de-
spite the many services it per-
forms, and the steadily increas-
ing qualities being used. In 1857,
Americans spent 21.8 percent OF
their disposable personal income
(income after taxes) for food
81 percent for shoes and cloth
ing; 3 percent for alcoholic bev-
erages; 2 percent for tobacco
products; but only 1.3 percent
for electricity.
These comparisons of family
outlay for necessities and lux.
uries most certainly indicate thai
Electricity is definitely rea
bargain.

WHAT NEXT?

Here's one that really is for
the book. The Supreme Court of
Michigan has ruled that a man
qualities for unemployment COM
pensation when he is separated
from his job by reason of his
being sent to Jail.
But don't blame Michigan's
Supreme Court for what appears
to be ridiculous ruling. No
censure must be foisted on it, be-
cause it really made a ruling on
a ridiculous law which left it no
other recourse.
So, a Michigan ex-worker in
addition to being housed, fed
and clothed at the expense of the
State, according to the present
Michigan law, is entitled to re-
ceive unemployment compensa-
ton while he is in the poke" "
Almost unbelievable, isn't it? It
certainly is the heighth of asin-
Unity.
One is forced to wonder what
the Michigan legislator could
have been thinking of when they
enacted such legislation. Surely,
now the current Michigan Legis-
lature will act swiftly to correct
this rewarding Of any of its
worker citizens who get afoul OF
the criminal law.
Coming at this particular time
when Michigan is in the financial
doldrums, certainly the Wolver-
inc State can not afford thusly
to pamper its felons.

The place to find out about
your rights under Social Security
is the district office according
to Robert B. Youmans, district
manager. 'We see many cases
where failure to inquire in ad-
vance held up claims unduly
long" said Youmans. He pointed
out that district office head
quarters has a trained staff Of
employees ready to assist per-
sons with information that is
particularly applicable to their
situation.
Your social security situation
isn't exactly the same as your
neighbor's or your brothers, for
that matter. SO that you may
make your plans and be sure
that social security will play the
role that you expect it to, you
should get your facts and get
them straight.
You need to know how long
you have to work under social
security to qualify for benefits,
approximately how much your
benefits will be, what rights
your family may have. You'll
probably want to find out what
papers you'll need when you do
file your application. Possibly
you can't get birth certificate

other documents are acceptable
to establish your age.

Hard Lesson tO Learn

Labor problems cannot be solved salts
factorily to management and employees today
as has been the practice for long time. A
new formula must be found, and soon, to pre-
vent perhaps irreparable damage to unions.
Changes in the business situation of the
world make it apparent that increased wages
can no longer be offset safely by increased
prices.
Imports from abroad are making inroads
on American production and foreign goods
are entering American export markets be-
cause they are produced more cheaply.
This trend is noticeable in automobiles, cleo
trical goods, steel, machine tools, office eoiup-
ment and other articles and it is growing
steadily.

A RESPONSIBLE PRESS
B John T. Flynn

1t goes without saying that
one of the bulWarks of free
society is a free and respOn-
Sible press.
Certainly the press in Amer
lea, thank goodness, is still
free. But it is becoming diff
ficult to escape the conclusion
that small segment of the
American press is no longer
responsible. Ordinarily, this
would not be too important,
since we have plenty of respon-
sible daily and weekly news
papers to offset the small group
Of pagers which give evidence
of responsibility. But it has
now become Of great import
ance, because these papers are
not little fly-by-night sheets,
but among the most influential
newspapers in America.
| have in mind especially
the New York Times and the
New York Herald Tribune
which particularly in the case
of the Times) have a nation
wide influence, and the Wash
ington Post and Times-Herald
which eXertS great influence
in the capital of the United
States. These have all been fine
newspaper in the past. But in
recent years they have come
to be mouthpieces for the lib
era" "-leftists. And the "libera",
leftists are the most reaction
ary of all reactionaries. Facts
mean nothing to them. The
only thing which counts is
complete adherence to the Glib
eral' '-leftist line, regardless Of
facts, truth and even moral
VlaueS.
Let me give you an example
Of what | mean. Part of the
"iberal"?leftist line is hatred
and denunciation of the late
Senator Joe Mccarthy. l do
not pretend to understand the
source of this unreasoning
hatred. I know only that it
has been visited upon all those
who fight the Reds and their
dupes in America. 1t was, and
is, particularly cirulent in the
case Of the late Senator because
he was one of the most effec-
tive in mcovering the COM

member must then decide, ac-
cording to his own conscience, if
the bill in its final form is or is
not acceptable in a vote on final
passage.
Legislative Mechanism
This will not end the matter
and the Houses action this week
will not determine the final form
the bill will take. The differences
in the House and Senate bills
must still be resolved in a con-
ference. When the representa-
tives of the two bodies meet,
agreement must then be reached
on a bill which can be presented
to both the House and Senate for
a final vote. All of this will take
time even though there are no
unnecessary delays. What the
House does this week will influ-
ence the kind of reform legisla-
ton enacted into law or largely
determine whether any legisla-
ton, at all, is enacted. The mat
ter of degree and what kind of
bill we should have are the ques-
tions which will be fought out
and on this will rest whether
the argument bogs down again
this year into deadlock and
failure.
Few bills excite so much
popular interest as the labor
management reform bill, yet all
are subject to the same forces of
compromise and negotiation.
Coming at the climax of a long
and generally dreary session, we
are seeing a spectacular demon
stration of legislative mechanism
at work. -.-...5- -.

any labor from seeming trivial,

Thee into a prolonged field of
honor.
Grant us, we pray Thee, to
taste in these homeiest activities
the joy Of being the very knights

Thy fellowship which shall
strengthen our courage, and
transform our halting faith into
Christ's certainty of the meaning
