will abuse and misuse 1t from
the moment 1t is in his hands.
Perhaps our efforts will
bring some gladness to the
hearts of these stone manu-
facturers.
There are three general
classifications of oil stones.
The coarse grade is for use
on large tools such as axes
and scythes or for smaller
tools that are very dull or
nicked. The medium grade is
the one best suited for the
home workshop. It is used for
knives, chisels and plane
blades. Oil stones are avail
able that have a coarse grit
on one face and a medium
grit on the other.
The fine grit stones are re-
quired for tools used in pre-
cision work such as those
used by instrument makers,
engravers and machinists.
When you purchase a new
stone, place it in a container
with No. 10 sac motor oil
and allow it to remain over
night. Remove it and wipe it
dry. Always use plenty of No.
10 oil when sharpening a tool
on the stone.
Failure to use oil will cause
the surface to glaze over and
it will not cut when in this
condition. Always wipe the
stone dry when you have fin
ished using it. Then put it
away to protect the surface
from dust.
If the surface of the stone
becomes glazed or gummed
up after repeated use. scrub
the surface with dry cleaning
solvent or household ammo
mia.
After long service, the sur
face of an oil stone will no
longer be level. This will
cause rounding of chisel and
plane blades when sharpened
on the stone. To bring the
surface level again, dress it
on the flat face Of an old
grinding wheel, using water
as a lubricant.
If such a wheel is not avail

able. use waterproof sill
icon carbide abrasive paper.
The paper should be backed
by a piece of level cast iron
or other equally firm and
level surface.
Since oil stones are brittle
they may break If dropped.
A break can be repaired as
follows: Place the two pieces
on a hotplate and heat to
drive out the oil. Wipe off
the oil as it comes to the SUR
face. Thoroughly scrub the
broken faces with dry clean
ing fluid or household am
monia.
When the stone is dry,
sprinkle flake orange shellac
on the broken surfaces, re-
heat the stone to melt the
shellac and then place in a
clamp until cool.

The Panama Canal Issue

4 MERICANS should take their eyes
off other Latin American troubles
long enough to understand the danger
ahead in Panama.
Within few weeks, the United States
will begin to renegotiate the treaty gov
erning the Panama Canal. Panamanian
officials openly admit their goal in
these negotiations is sovereignty over
the Canal Zone If U. S. negotiators
should agree to hand over U. S. rights,
the loss for the free would be as great
as loss of the Suez Canal.
Under the treaty signed in 1903, the
United States has perpetual rights to
the Canal Zone. A large sum of money
is given annually to the Panamanian
government. Business generated by the
canal provides Panama with the bulk
Of its income.
Panama wants larger payment. 1t
may be that an increase is in order. But
sovereignty is not negotiable issue.
The Panama Canal Zone is the most
important piece of real estate in Latin
America. Control of this canal and the
five-mile wide strip of land on each
side has been an objective for decades
Of the world communist movement. The
Soviet Union knows that a neutralst or
pro-communist regime in Panama, with
authority over the canal, would have a
strangle-hold on American merchant
shipping and naval movements between
the Atlantic and Pacific. The commu-
mist operation in Cuba long has been re-
garded as mere preliminary to seizure
OF Panama. Castro partisans sought to
grab control Of Panama several years
ago. They failed then, but, they may be
more successful with another attempt.
Panama is politically unstable. De-
magogs with leftist tendencies are a
constant menace to peaceful develop
ment. 1t is entirely possible that a Pan
amanian Castro could come to power in
national elections
For all these reasons, it is impera-
tive that the United States not relax it's
rightful authority over the, Panama
Canal. But the nation must be alert lest
there be sellout of U. S. interests
when negotiations begin in the near fu
ture.

need to be a supersalesman to
sell Congress on turning over to
him dictatorial powers.
Coming Steel Contract
The President is anxious to
establish the principle that
wages per hour will increase
only as production per hour in
creases. Management wants
the new machinery also to get
some wages This may be
okay for the steel corporations,
but the trouble will come when
all Of the other unions want the
same IDEAL" that the steel
workers receive. Many corpora
tons claim that, for various
reasons. they cannot reduce
costs further than they are now.
All of this means that labor is
tending more and more to ap-
proach a socialistic system as
far as duction, prices,
wages, depreciation, etc., are
concerned. This, of course, is
the big danger.
Meanwhile, the Presidents
Labor Management Committee
has been comforting on automa-
ton dilemmas. but no workable
program for dealing with auto
nation created unemployment
and retraining has been pro-
posed. Nor has a plan for stem
ming economy numbing strikes
yet been aired. Internal union
discussions further complicate
the situation. The Meany-Reu-
ther-Hoffa triangle may not be
eternal. but it will make for
rough and tumble disloca :

out the Administration is in
creasing and 1862 election
year politics may force the
President to send some strin-
gent new proposals for reducing
unemployment to Congress be-
fore too many more months
have passed.
Selling More Goods
JFK is emphasizing to both
management and labor that the
great need is for the United
States to sell more U. S.-n1anu-
featured goods - at home and
abroad and to keep prices
down. He believes this demands
an entirely new brand of tariff
powers an ability to trade.
This is especially important in
view of the European Common
Market" JFK believes that only
as he is given dictatorial powers
will he be able to meet dictators

believe he is correct.
In addition, the United States
is faced with a rising imbalance
Of international payments and a
resumption Of the gold outflow.
The nation really sits astride the
horns Of q dilemnA: II the un-
employment problem is met by
inflaionary spending. our gold
outflow may become a flood; if
we try to prevent gold loss
through higher interest rates
and lowered spending. business
may slump and unemployment
soar. The President - in trying
to boost foreign trade - Is on
the right track but he win

Legislative Reapportionment

The current clamor over leg
islative reappOrtiOnment should
send Americans scurrying back
to their history books to gain a
better appreciation Of what the
federal Constitution says on that
subject. The issue Of the mo-
ment has to do with the fail
IRE Of the State Of Tennessee to
reappOrtiOn its legislators IN
keeping with population shifts.
Because of this failure. the u.
S. Supreme Court has ruled
that federal courts can properly
entertain lawsuits aimed at
forcing reapportionment.
In eff e ct, the Court has
agreed with urban residents Of
Tennessee that their voice in
state government is minimized
because of the greater repre-
sentation given to less populous
areas. But not even the SUI
preme Court has gone so far as
to say that all legislative repre-
sentati0n must be based on alb
sOlute parity of population. Ten
nessee's essential error was in
failing to abide by its own
ground rules on apportionment.
It is an essential element of
the American system that rep
resentative government recog-
nizes both geography and num-
bers. This joint recognition was
one of the great compromises
of the Constitutional Convention
Of 1887. and was a real factor
in keeping the states united at
that critical juncture.
The larger states, led by Vir-
gina. sought a national leglSla-
ture in which power would be
vested primarily in the more
populOus states Virginia then
being one Of them. The smaller
states leaned toward the New
Jersey plan. which protected
the sovereignty of the smaller
states.
Out of that controversy came
the agreement which is inn
bedded into the Constitution Of
the United States: a Congress
of two houses a Senate which
gives equal voice to each state
regardless of its population, and
a House Of Representatives
whose members are apportionec
among the states on a basis of
relative population.
So inSistent were the smaller
states of safeguarding them
