Labor Calls For Stepped-Up Program
Is to IL Million More Jobs Are
Needed To Attain Real Recovery
WASHINGTON. D. C.-(LABOl

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(LABOR)
Leaders organized labor recently
challenged President Kennedy and
his Administration to act more
strongly against the present ''intol-
cradle" situation of sidle manpower
and idle industrial capacity" in Amer
lea. "Real recovery" they warned,
''is nowhere in sight,.
Kennedy, in contrast, expressed
confidence that the economy will
snap back fast from last winters
slump. ''The big problems" he told
reporters, Twill be to sustain it over
a period of time.
AS for business, the Commerce
Department reported that economic
recovery is broadening. Retail sales
at department stores in June showed
strong trend. Likewise, activity in
the big construction industry moved
ahead more than seasonally in June.
Also, further boost to homebuilders
is expected from the new. housing
bill passed by Congress. But in an
other key ndustry-steel-ou
has been slipping after an earlier
recovery.
Union chiefs, meeting as the ALL
Clio executive council, welcomed the
recent reports of higher business
sales, production and profits. But
these Surface signs of recovery,
they warned, are not enough.
'fThe most cheerful forecasts"
they said, "see an unemployment rate
of at least 6 per cent at the end of
the year, assuming the present up
ward trend of business continues
to accelerate"
In fact, AFL-CIO economists fig
ure that to get unemployment down
to prosperity-level 8 per cent rate
by the end of 1861 would require
opening up 8.4 million new jobs. To
get the unemployment rate down to
8 per cent by the end of 1862, they
figure, would require 11.8 million
new jobs.
These new jobs will be needed to
employ many of those now jobless
plus the new jobseekers coming into
the labor force and those now at work
who will be displaced by machines.
TNFLATION' SCARE
What can be done to open, up the
needed new jobs? Kennedy's recov-
cry program is largely good SO far as
it goes, the AFL-CIO executive coun-
Gil suggested. "But even if every one
of the Administrators proposals
were promptly enacted" they added,
''real recovery would not be attained
and the unemployment problem would
not be resolved"
The union leaders especially OBJ
iected to claims by Treasury Secre-
Bary Douglas Dillon and White House
aide Walt B. Rostow that new wage
increases may lead to more initiation.
On the contrary, the AFL-CIO men

of the team of protestants' attorneys
said the proposed rate base includes
gas reserve figures based on their
estimated value, rather than their
original cost. Reproduction cost new,
he said, can only be based on what
property cost originally.
P. j. Gilfeather, another member
of the professionals legal team, pointed
out the company has valued. as re-
serves, gas in place under lands
owned or leased, which the company
cannot know it will actually recover.
The Montana Constitution, he said,
prohibits tax assessment of minerals
in place, which cannot be accurately
valued until they are reduced to pos
session, after which they are taxed
as net proceeds.
WHERE DID $213,0Oo GO?
Company exhibits, Gilfeather said,
show that the company used about
as much of it's own gas reserves in
1860 as in 1858, but the net proceeds
tax for the latter year was only
$4,000 as compared to $540,316
in 1868. Mr.. Woy said he could not
account for the tax decline. since
he chad nothing to do with taxes"
and asked the question be reserved
for ]. ]. Harrington, company treas
urer.
At the end of the three long days
of cross examination Mr.. Woy ad-
mitted he had changed methods of |
computing reproduction cost new for |
gas properties between 1853 and
1861. In 1858 the company's evalua-
tion of it's gas system was $93,268,-
933 and in 1861 it is valued at
Sill, 485,6 1923.
Under questioning Woy admitted
that because of the change of method
and Substitution of actual condi-
tions for estimates, the increase
could conceivably result. Later, R. d.
Corette, company legal consel, had
Woy reverse himself with the state
ment there had been no change in
method and the upward trend was
based on prices actually paid for gas.
The utility's experts have taken
the position that uniformity of
rates in the interest of fairness" to
all customers is the basis for some
stiff rate hikes in some areas for

RATE "UNIFORMITY'' THEME
ABANDONED BY CORETTE

The fallacy of the uniformity, be-
came evident during the first weel
of the hearing when power company
president J. E. Corette admitted al
customers did not pay on uniform
basis and plaintively opined that per-
haps the Commission might pull them
out of this hole and ''find solution
in the light of historic practices.
For instance the city gate "uni-
formity" which applies to the Great
Falls Gas Company isn't a factor"
at Cut Bank and Shelby, the latter
two towns which will pay much less
than CT Gas Company. Then the
volume which becomes factor
with industrial customers such as the
ACM is eliminated in relationship to
the Great Falls company.
At Chinook, proximity to gas sup
ply ceases to be a factor" but is
the sole factor in considering prices
at Cut Bank and Shelby.
The span in price between in
dustrial customers has no relation
ship to uniformity, but depends
on the availability of competitive
fuels.
A large industrial customer with
choice of fuels is in position to
IDEAL" with the company. The domes-
tic and small business consumer, held
firmly in the vice of monopoly con-
troll over the only two practical
sources of heat supply, gas and cleo
tricity, has no bargaining power
ALL KINDS OF SPECIAL
NON-UNIFORM RATES
Carter Williams, frequent critic
of the company's preferential rate
structure, pointed out that special
rates for the Shelby and Cut Bank
systems. the Veterans Administrator
hospital, state institutions and hous-
ing authorities, add up to an annual
revenue loss of $184,272, which must
be borne by general rate payers in
the rest of the system.
Williams said the proposed jump
asked of Great Falls Gas Company
amounts to $956,355 annually or an
increase of 56.8 percent. 'This is by
far the largest increase you pro-
pose", he said. Frank Woy pointed
out that few relatively small Hiline
customers twill be hit harder than
that and the Shelby rate increase

AN EDITORIAL
Opening Of School

There's screw loose somewhere among the
powers that be who set the opening of Columbus
County schools each fall. For the last two years
well pubcized dale for school opening is
known by all and at the last minute, some one
decides that it's too early and a postponement is
announced.
Those who perpetrate this change may have
good intentions and reason, but obviously there's
been poor organization and little or no foresight
or such poStponementS would not be necessary.
The question is not whether the schools
should open on August % or August 29 or even
September - it's matter of setting open
ing date we'll in advance and then keeping that
date regardless.
There are undoubtedly some farmers who
really need the help of their children for an
other week. These same farmers will need those
same children even worse next spring when
planting time around. The time has
finally arrived in North Carolina when the edu-
cation of the child is important than his
servitude in the tobacco and cotton fields.
This waiting until four days before school
opening and then postponng school, works a
considerable hardship on many people. Take for
instance those teachers who live in other sections
of the State who move here each fall to teach.
Some have already rented facilities here, closed
up homes, left mail forwarding addresses, haG
electricity cut off, and many other details at
tended to that now must be undone for = week.
Also, consider printed teacher manuals,
booklets, schedules, etc, based on an August
%, opening. The delay throws the entire plan
out of killer.
We, therefore, want to pass out this sug-
gestion when the opening of school is set for
next fall by those in charge set that date after
much study and consideration. And once it is
set, leave it alone regardless of political pres
sure or clamoring from any source. It's the only
way to avoid confusion.

The Town Board of Com
misSioners met in special seS-
sion Thursday night to consid-
er a possible solution to the
problem of a town water short
age due to impairmentS to two
of the four town wells.
The special meeting, called
by Mayor Howard Harrelson,
was prompted by the loss of
one well and the serious NAL
functioning of another.
The well which was lost mad
been producing about 400 gal
Ions of water a minute, but
had to be shut down around
the first of August when il
began pumping sand ana
small rock into the main sup
ply.
The other, a well designed
to produce 500 gallons a min
ute. has been pumping only
about $50 gallons for the past
few months.
The two remaining wells
one pumping 800 gallons and
the other pumping about 100
gallons-are providing the
bulk Of the towns water.
c. c. Hildebrand, contractor
from Wake Forest who drilled
the 500-gallon well in 1855
and who has done the repair
work, met with the Board.
Repairs TO the well, which
were begun in March and
which have continued off and
on since, have not brought the
well UP to operating capacity.
The original repair work
was done on the pump. At that
time, the well was producing
500 gallons a minute. Suisse
quently, the well began pump
ing sand into the pipes, and
additional repairs were made,
by sinking a section of screen
into the well TO stop the flow
of sand.
This action resulted In a re-

ED"AkD WALL Probation Officer
Officers Applaud
Probation System

There are currently 81 per-
sons in Columbus County who
have avoided prison sentences
by accepting terms of proba-
ton.
Edward Wall, probation Of
fcer for the county, revealed
recently that number exceeds
the number of cases handled
last year for the same period
by two.
Law officers and the judici-
aary have applauded the eff
fects of Wallis efforts since his
arrival in Columbus county.
Before Ed came here, pro-
baton work was a hit-or-miss
situation" says Sheriff Berf
Duke. THE probation officers
had so many cases to carry
and such large territories that
they could not thoroughly fol-
low through on d case"
Wall has recently been re-
LEVIED of previously assigned
responsibilities in Brunswick
county and is now solely re-
sponsible for probationers in
Columbus.
In 1859 the North Carolina
Legislature appropriated funds
to allow the addition of So
probation officers in the state.
wall was one of the 80 en-
ployed in 1859; 20 others were
engaged in 1860.
I'VE still do not have enough
probation officers" Superior
Court Judge Raymond B. NAL
lard believes.
1T is astounding to realize
that $4,000 men were sent to
prison last year." Judge MAJ
lard said. IF we had more
probation officers many Of
these men would remain at
home and could be given prop
er supervision which would be
as purposeful as imprison-
ment."
Judge Mallard also noted
that one penologist reported
recently that it costs the state
$4,000 to apprehend, try. and
imprison a man for ten years,
THE probation system of
correctional supervision is far
less costly" Judge Mallard
stated.
Inc new probation Set-up
III the county has proven to be
a good device" remarked Lee
j. Greer, Clerk of Court and
Juvenile Judge. But one
should not be led to believe
that the road role of a person
ON probation is an easy one"
Wall disclosed that there
nine main rules of general
probation, but that the presid-
ing judge may alter the rules
according TO the case he has
heard
Practitioners must avoid VIC
ious and injurious habits: must
avoid persons or places of dis
reputable character.
They must permit the pro-
, baton officer to visit their
homes and must work faith
fully at suitable employment.
Furthermore, they must re-
main within specific area,
with no change in residence
without the written permis-
sion Of the probation officer.
Too, the probationer must
pay all fines, court costs and
resolutions required by the
court, and support their de-
:, pendents.
Finally, they must violate
no penal law Of any state or
the Federal government, and
be on general good behavior.
