THE PERILS OF
PRIVILEGED POWER

Two greatly disturbing news
stories are in front of me. One
is an AP story out of New York
quoting AFL-CIO President
George Meany as saying, Labor
is going to be just as political
as it has to be to win its objec-
tives." The other, appearing on
the same day, is from Howard
Kennedy, Los Angeles Times
Leader Editor, reporting that
AFL-CIO detectives in California
have been charted "to exert pres
sure on legislators for removing
all restraints on labor from the
Taft-Hartley Act, and for going
slow on remedial legislation
against corruption and racketeer-
ing"
A good way for Americans to
start the New Year would be to
wake up to the perils of the
privileged power this sort of
political action may produce.
At this last Thanksgiving, and
again during Christmas week, l
borrowed for this column words
of inspiration and beauty from
my associate the Reverend Ed
ward w. Greenfield. But he is
not limited to this kind of writ
ing. Perhaps some readers would
be interested in seeing more of
the writings of this courageous
and forth-right spiritual leader.
The current issue of the journal
Faith and Freedom, which he
edits, includes his vigorous and
startling commentary on The
Perils of Privileged Power, deal
ing with exactly the thing men,
tened above. l recommend this
as a first-claSs waker-up, and
will be glad to send a copy with
out obligation to any reader who
writes me at Campbell House,
Box 877, San Jacinto, Calf.

The rate of self-employed persons goes

This will mean smaller take-home pay

Kickoff Dinner

Representatives of local health groups and
rural organizations met Tuesday night for
Kickoff dinner in the traditional campaign
against polio, which has been augmented this
year by birth defects and arthritis.
The dinner was given by the March OF
Dimes committee here, headed this year by
Fund Chairman Bobby j. Miller.
Arthritis and birth defects, together with
continued work in polio and patient aid for
its sufferers are included in the expanded
program of the National Foundation, any one
of which cripples as badly as the other.
State Representative R. A. Dauber at
tended the local meeting and he told the
group of local workers that ''the new areas of
the National foundation expanded program
are challenge to all of us. Obviously we
must begin to estimate the numbers affected
in our community. Our chapter hopes to aid
juvenile arthritis patients and children with
congenital malformations of the central ner-

Car Insurance

Do you ever wonder why your car in
surance costs SO much-and why it went up
again this week. If so, an article by Richard
Dunlop in the National Safety Councils mag
azine, Traffic Safety, will give you the an
SWer
First of all, Mr.. Dunlop points out, it
isn't because the car insurance companies are
reveling in big profits. They have actually
been paying out $116.70 for every 500 taken
in through premiums, and since World War
II they have gone $500 million into the red.
That is partly accounted for by inflated
prices, and by car designs which make re-
pairs extremely expensive-but only partly.
Chiselers of assorted kinds are involved in
the profitable business Of turning car acci-
dents into jackpots. Their fields of activity
range from garages which pad the bills to
ambulance-chasing lawyers.
But this doesn't end the story. AS Mr..
Dunlop puts it: "Juries give away insurance

vous system when our patient aid program is
started this year.
Rehabilitation for many of these pa
tents, said Mr.. Dauber, clearly resembles
that prescribed for polio patients. We also
hope to help improve facilities for the care of
patients of all ages. 1t has been estimated that
there may be as many as 10000 children with
rheumatoid arthritis each year throughout
the nation and that one in every 16 babies is
born annually with a significant birth de-
feet"
Chairman Miller also stressed the i'm
portance of the campaign this year and pass
ed out the necessary literature and material
A porchlight parade will be held and the
mothers will again solicit in the rural COM
munities of this county. Coin containers will
be placed in various business places and the
community is again urged to give this cam
pagn its whole-hearted support as it has in

to so-called "neutralist" coun-
tries who sway a little bit tow
ard the West while the dollar
giveaWays are flowing-and
then sway right back again
toward the Soviet Union. The
naivete of our leaders with
regard to these countries is
almost beyond belief. India is
a good example. We have pour
ed hundreds of millions of dol
lars down that drain. Last
month President Eisenhower
welcomed a new Indian ambas-
sador to the United States. The
President chose the occasion
to note the "close friendship"
between India and the Unit
ed States. He said this friend
ship was strengthened by the
fact that both countries share
the same political ideals. Sure
~ the President must be
aware of the fact that India
constantly plays footsie with
Soviet Russia. And could he
really mean that India and
America share the same poll
teal ideals"-when Premier
Nehru Of India, told his peo-
pie only year ago that there
would be mo retreat from the
goal of socialism in India?
Even worse than our playing
Santa Claus to the neutralist
nations-in the name of fight
ing communism--is our aid to
outright communist nations.
Your dollars are still flowing
to Communist Yugoslavia and
Com mum st Poland. Last
month the Communist dictator
of Poland sounded off with a
violent anti-American attack.
Shortly after this, Poland an
nounced she was standing
four-square behind Soviet Rus
sia in its attempt to end the
freedom of West Berlin. Sand
wiched in between these two
diatribes came the news that
Communist Poland was due to
get another 20-million-dollar
"loan" from the United States!
Meantime, we have been
having a cultural exchange"
with Soviet Russia. Droves of
Soviet delegations-no doubt
accompanied by the usual spies

swarming over the United
States, We even had the spec

Your
Election
Lows % .
L By Ted w. Brown :
Secretary Of State Of Ohio

There are two methods Of be-
coming candidate for election
to a public office. Municipal Of
ficers, however, in cities which
have a charter are nominated
and elected in accordance with
the provisions of that charter
Your county board of elections
will be able to advise you re-
garding applicable charter pro-
visions.
Persons wishing to become
candidates for municipal office in
non-charter cities may do SO by
filing a Declaration of Candidacy
as party candidate, or he may
become a candidate and have his
name appear directly upon the
general election ballot by filing
nominating petitions as an in
dependent or non-partisan can
didate. Persons who file Declara-
tons of Candidacy as party can
didates will be voted upon at the
primary election.
Ohio statutes divide munich
palities into two classifications
for designating the method they
shall use for nomination OF can
didates for their offices. Munich
palities of under 1000 popula-
ton according to the last Federal
Census must nominate theiI
municipal officers by nominating
petition-that is, they shall be
independent or non-partisan can
didates-and no primaries shall
be held in municipalities in this
group.
Candidates in municipalities o1
| over 1000 population may file
either as party or Independent
candidates. Such municipalltle'
are required to conduct a prim-
ary election unless all candidate:
filed as independents or non
partisan candidates, or If no
more than one Declaration o
Candidacy in party is filed fol
| each office to be voted upon a
the general election. The Genera
| Assembly at its last session alst
| provided that where the only
contest in a party is for the
| office of Councilman in a ward
the primary election shall b'
eliminated except for the ware
contest; and in that ward only
the names of candidates for ware
Councilman shall appear on th'
| ballot for that party.
The method and time of filing
petitions for municipal Office
will be discussed in the mex
issue of this series.

American, Ohio and Noble county work
ers are paying higher Social Security taxes
starting last Thursday and more than 1917
million persons now receiving benefits will
get larger checks.
Before this year is over the tax increase
will have affected an estimated "a million
workers. not all of them employed in any one
period.
The tax rate has gone up from 2H to 2la
per cent on the first $4,000 earned, effective
with the first paycheck received in January
For the wear just past, the tax applied to the
first $4,000 of annual pay.
1t is estimated that about IS million COW
cred workers will have to paw the maximum
II percent tax increase during 1859 Their
levy will jump from $9450 to $12O, due to the
combination of increased rate and higher tax
able salary rate.
EMPLOYERS will pay the same increase as
the workers, making the total Social Security

money with an almost incredible disregard
for the facts of a case" He cites a Texas wo-
man who claimed that merely witnessing an
accident caused her to suffer miscarriage.
Two obstetricians said this was poppycock-
but the jury awarded her $4,000. New York
State Supreme Court Justice Mcdonald has
said Eighty percent of jury awards are ex-
cessive and ten percent so grossly excessive
they may be set aside by the court"
One solution to this problem is to reduce
accidents. 1t can be done. Mr.. Dunlop gives
Butte, Montana, as an example. It's passenger
car insurance rate actually dropped from $l17
in 1886 to $35 at present, while the rates in
most other places were soaring. Butte did it
by breaking up the rackets and by putting
into effect tough traffic safety program
that worked. What Butte has done, any com
munity can do--if the citizens demand it and

STEEL MEN GO
A-VISITING

In 1858 an American delegation
of steel and iron ore experts Wis
tied the Soviet Union, and Rus
sian delegation came to the
United States. AS a result, much
knowledge was gained by each
country of the others steel in
dustry.
Our American delegation
learned that while the Soviet
steel industry is only about 40
percent as large as that of the
United States, it is operating at
full capacity and produced about
80 million net tons in 1858. This
compares with about IS million
tons production in the u. S. A.
Our visiting steel men also
learned that Russia has extern
sive long range plans for expan-
sion. Steel is destined to play
an important part in Russia's
determination to defeat the
United States in a worldwide
economic war Russian steel
products can be expected to ap-
pear in increased volume in
world markets, and most of
these exports will be heavy
steel products.
The outlook for 1859 steel pro-
duction in the U.S.A. is brighter.
This years output of ingots and
steel castings will be from 100
to ITO million net tons. a decided
increase over 1858, but still fall
ing considerably short of the
record of 1T million tons made
in 1855.
It's good to know however that
steel output is travelling up the
recovery road.

QUEER WAY TO FIGHT
COMMUNISM
BY John T.. Flynn

Are we for communism or
against it? That sounds like a
silly question. | can hear you
say: Of course, we're against
communism. And I know the
majority of the American peo-
pie are strongly opposed to
communism and all it stands
for. But / am not so sure about
our political leaders. They say
they are opposed to Tcoinrnun-
ism, and I suppose they are
But they have some strange
and devious ways OF showing
it. Here what l mean.
The American people are
groaning under fantastic taxes
A monstrous proportion of
those taxes go into the build
ing up and maintenance Of a
tremendous military establish
ment. We are told this is eS-
sential because of the menace
of communism Along with
this, the politicians have grab
bed from the people the in
conceivable sum of SIXTY
TWO BILLION DOLLARS for
what is called foreign aid
sixty-two billion dollars scat
tered around to countries all
over the world since the end
of the Second World War. Here
again we are told that this is
necessary in order that the
countries on the receiving end
of your dollars may resist COM
munist infiltration and aggres-
sion.
Now let's assume for the mo-
ment that all this is really
necessary in order to fight
communism-though the ques-
ton naturally arises as to how
we are protecting ourselves
against the menace of COM
munism when we spend our
selves into bankruptcy. But
what are we to think of politi-
clans who, with their right
hand, grab our hard-earned
dollars "to protect US against
communism" and, with their
lei hand, spend those dollars
to shore up communist regimes
end even to soften us up on
communism?
Some of your foreim-aid
dollars have been pouring out

OPEN DOOR TO TOMORROW

have just read a clergyman's
New Year Meditations, in which
he likens the New Year to IAN
open door that no man can shut" J"
The passage to the future is
always open-ended, and we have
to keep moving into tomorrow or
lie down and die. The process of
change is everlasting.
This is a true insight, but it
leaves something important un-
said. Actually, there are many
possible futures, each with its
own door, and we must choose.
Simply to move with the tides
of change is to be as dead as
standing still A stick Of wood
floating in stream, can
scarcely be said to be alive.
We as individuals and as a
nation will have a future, for
change is bound to take us some
where. The question we must
ask is which somewhere? Does
our open door head toward
tyrany or freedom, toward moral
decline or growth, toward spiri-
tual darkness or dawn?
The New Year is traditionally
a time of decision. In the fami-
liar words of John Oxenham toe
true ever to be trite:
g. Some take the high road
And some take the low,
And in between, on the misty
flats,
| The rest drift to and fro.
But every man decideth
Which way his soul shall CO.
