BABSON PARK, January 20 =
President Kennedy's proposed $1.25
minimum wage would result in
many employers reducing the num-
ber of their wage workers. They
must do so to avoid bankruptcy
But this is not the only dangerous
result of such legislation, if pass
ed.
WAGES CHANGES AFFECT ALL
GROUPS
If this $1.25 proposal could stop
with those now getting less, it
could have certain advantages. In
addition to aiding several million
deserving persons, it would come
back to farmers and manufacturers
in increasing purchasing power.
None of this increase would be saw
ed. This could be all to the good,
but such legislation could upset all
wages scales.
Wage workers think more of
prestige than they do of money.
Most people are proud by nature,
and well they should be. Further
more, workers who are now sat
isfied with $1.25 per hour natur-
ally would not like to see inexper-
fenced workers raised 25% with
out a corresponding raise for them
selves and others more expert
enced. Hence, the proposed mir
imum wage could upset the entire
wage scale for millions of workers
with resulting price increases for
foods and consumer goods and
services. Unfortunately, President
Kennedy's economic advisors have
never had a payroll to meet and
are wholly ignorant of the intri-
cate subject of wages and prices

Restoration Work
Continues At Fort

The meticulous care with which
restoration work is going forward
at Fort. Delaware was reported
Saturday at the eleventh annual
meeting of the Fort Delaware
Society, in Wilmington.
C. Edward Duffy, Chairman of
the Delaware State Park Com
mission, in prepared statement
which was read by Commissioner
Robert n. Downs, paid tribute to
State Park Superintendent Peter
Geldof for the manner in which
he has proceeded with the work
All officers of the Society were
reelected. They are Miles L. Fred
erick, Wilmington, President; Col
onel Donald L. Dutton, Newark,
Vice-President: Mrs. Allen G.
Schiek, Claymont, Secretary; and
Mrs. John Ray, Wilmington, Treas.
Members of the Board of Dir
ectors are W. Emerson Wilson,
Chairman; William P. Frank, Bri-
gadier General Norman N. Lack,
and William e. Craven, who re-
placed Miss Ruthanna Hindes.
Mr.. Duffy related now Mr.. Geld
IF planned to secure pressed
bricks, to match exactly those of
the hundred year-old Fort so that
restoration work would match
perfectly.
Mr.. Geldof sought out officials
of the Wilmington Housing Auth
ority, who were in the process of
demolishing East side residences,
after he discovered several of the
homes contained just the bricks he
needed.
Not only did he find three
houses on East Sixth, Penn and
Lombard Streets, Wilmington, but
Mr.. Geldof assisted in the de-
molition; had 1000 bricks hauled
to his staff headquarters and
cleaned; then had workmen re-
pair fourteen chimneys at the Fort
from the roof up. They now appear
as in their original state, Duffy
reported.
Mr.. Geldof took further pains by
securing white sand in Berlin,
New Jersey, for the mortar The
result, according to Mr. Duffy, is
a perfect match with the original
mortar.
Through his supervision, the
State Park Commission was able
to stretch $500 far enough to re-
pair the chimneys, the barracks
roof and the spouting, and there's
enough left to give the roof three
coats of paint this spring." Mr..
Duffy declared.
He passed along his thanks to
contractors, r b e TT Hawthorne,
Philadelphia; Elwood Skinner,
Wilmington; and JE Workman
Inc, for their cooperation on the
project
eve were so pleased with the
results of the brick work that the
Park Commission has authorized a
stockpile of 5000 of them for fu-
ture restoration work." Duffy con-
cluded
The State Park Commission
Chairman also promised Society
members that "if the General AS
sembly is kind to us" further re-
storation work will be undertaken
during the centennial years. One
project on the agenda is clearing
the moat surrounding the Fort
and having it become Operational
again.
In his annual report, Mr.. Fred
erick said a $500 contribution had
been received from Tidewater Oil
Company in 1860 and that he could
report the same sum would be
| forthcoming for the Society this
year as a part of Tidewater's con-
tinuing community relations pro-

FCC,S RESPONSIBILITY

lie Ld0QlS crlClClSIn Oh Cn0 regulatory
agencies will provide valuable guidance for
the administration. AS it relates to the Fed
eral Communications Commission it is of
particular interest to those concerned with
the present content and future prospects of
television. Those who remember the de-
bacle over ultra-high frequency channels
and have watched the degeneration of much
OF evening television Ito enumerate but two
shortcoming) have come to regard the
FEC as Intellectual.
The commission, as the public's guard
ian of its air waves, has primary response
bility in protecting the public interest. APP
parently the FEC was no exception to the
distressing tendency of regulatory agencies
to fall under sway of those they are charged
with regulating. Whether or not this ac-
counts for the vise-like grip the national net,
works have over this as yet unplumbed med
ium is open to debate. But there is little
doubt that the millions who become fasci-
mated (maybe even fixated) in their homes
every evening are getting poor shake in
the programming.
Some will object that the programming,
like little Eva, "just growed" private en-
terprise did it; it's what the people seem to
want, so that's that. This is not a sufficient
explanation. And one thing reinvigor-
ated FEC should do is to find out what can
be done to- get television onto another track.

A TIME FOR CRAFTSMANSHIP
Few commissions carry so heavy a re-
sponsibility as that which President Eisen-
hover has appointed to deal with the vex-
ing problem of work rules on this nations
railroads.
The commission is headed by Secretary
OF Labor Mitchell, who was approved by rail
road management and the interested rail-
road unions. 1t is made up of Is members.
OF whom five are sponsored by management
and five by the unions with the remaining
flve being public members without prejudice
III either direction. These members, who OBJ
viously will hold the balance of power have
distinguished backgrounds as educators and
|arbitrators, and can be trusted to protect
the legitimate interests of management, la
bor and the country at large.
The issue with which the commission
will deal is commonly known as featnerbed-
ding. According to the railroads, obsolete
work rules put into effect when operations
were far less efficient than they are today
cost needless and wasted $500 millions a
year. The unions deny this charge. 1t will
be the commissions duty, over. year-long
span of study, to decide where the right lies
and to chart a program which is fair to all
and which will best serve the needs of the
national economy and the national defense
in chaotic time
The recommendations, it is important to
remember, will be advisory only-not bind
ing on either party. However, it would seem
certain that public opinion, in view of the
high qualifications of the committee mem
bers, would in itself enforce acceptance OF
whatever changes in work rules are propos
ed.

UNFAIR TO MILLIONS OF SMALL
sToREKEEPERs

Eighty per cent of all shopkeep-
ers employ only one or two clerks.
These shops could be severely hurt
as they are now barely making a
living. Not only will most of them
be obliged to put one of their
clerks on half-time and thus re-
duce his or her "take-home pay
to 62h cents per hour, but mary
of the small shops will feel obl1g-
ed to close up and go out of busl-
ness. President Kennedy's profes-
sors say-"Very well, there are al
ready too many stores in every
CITY and town" Such a statement
is very misleading, as such sales
men and others who are now call
ing upon them will lose their jobs,
the local newspapers will lose ad-
vertising, and more vacant stores
will be seen on every business
street.
To a certain extent this same
principle applies also to the mer-
ger of railroads, banks, and var
ious other large concerns. When
the merger is announced, the
statement is made that mo execu-
tive or other employee will be dis
charged" The policy of mo fire
hut no hire" will be adopted. This
means that as employees die or
become 65 they will not be re-
placed.

U.S.. Female Rutio
Is 100 to 81 Men

The ratio of women to men
in the United States is now 100
to 81. Ten years ago, the ratio
was only 100 to SO.
The Census Bureau in an
nouncing these figures today
pointed to the continuing in
crease in the number of women
in the country, compared with
the total of men.
In 1860 there were 81 million
females and 1873 million males,
In 1850, there were 76.1 million
females and 75.2 million males
And 1850 was the first year in
which there were more females
than males.
One of the reasons for the ex-
cess of women is the fact that
there are more older women
than men. In 1860 there were
81 million women and rs mil
lion men IS years of age and
over.

berg who won an Academy
Award for his "On the Water
'front.'" flew from his Mexico
City home to Washington re-
Gently. 1t was for an unusual
series Of story conferences
about the screen version of At
torney General Robert Ken
nedy's book, THE Enemy With
in" The sessions also were
attended by movie producer
Jerry Wald.
The first conference was held
in a little room off the private
office of the Attorney General.
1t was interrupted by the ar
rival Of Kenneth O'DOnnelI,
President Kennedy'S aide, who
reported the close vote On an
Administration bill. They de-
cided to adjourn the story con-
ferences to Pierre Salinger's Of
flee in the White House. Sal
niger was familiar with the
racket investigation material
collected for the book.
Salinger then was called
away to handle the story of
Prime Minister Macmillan'S
visit with the President in
Florida, and then by Andrei
GrOmykO's conference at the
White House. Schulberg sighed:
I've never had such story con-
ferences before. They do inter-
rupt, terribly.
The author did have time to
inspect President Kennedy'S Of
flee, whose floors are still
pocked with the cleatmarkS
from President Eisenhower's
golf shoes, made on mis- way to
the putting green.
They decided to hold the
story conferences at the Attor-
ney Generals home in Virginia.
The phone call arrangements
were complicated by the fact
that whenever Schulberg
phoned he'd hear several re-
sponses on the extensions
picked up by the many Kennedy
children. who's thiS?" Schulz
berg would ask, and the answers
would come, This is joe" or
This is David" This is Kath-
leen," etc.
When they all finally got to-
gether at the Kennedy's home.
the Attorney General entered
wearing football shoes. and his
wife wandered in huffing a bit
and carrying a football.
THE ACTOR: Sir Cedric
Hardwicke's delightful autobi-
ography, "A Victorian in Orbit"
includes George Bernard Shaw's
much-publicized quote about
him: "Hardwicke is the fifth
greatest actor-the first four
being the Marx Brothers.
Hardwicke once told me this
never happened - that Shaw
really had named four better
actors. But nobody paid atten-
ton to Harwicke's ranking until
he himself invented the Marx
Brothers line.
THE CHANGE: A White
House secretary called Leslie
Hyam, head of the Parke Ber-
net Gallery in New York, to ask
why the Kennedys were not re-
ceiving the gallery'S catalogue.
She was told that the Kennedys
