The Old
South
BY Eve l.. Burweal

The DO 1t Yourself Trend -
Newspapers and magazines
are giving a great deal OF
space to the do 1t Yourself"
craze, that seems to be gain
ing popularity month after
month. Writers point out that
shorter and shorter working
weeks allows many a man
and woman to put idle hours
to profitable use. 1t may be
a hobby to some extent. but
the possibilities are SO great
that many needed improve
ments around the home can
be made by doing work your
self, that would be impossible
if high priced labor had to be
used.
There are SO many nice
tools to be used around the
home today which helps to
make the work easy, some of
them powered which aids the
movement to a great extent.
Books and articles on the
subject have made even the
beginner with tools able to
make Improvements, build
many a convenience, add
beauty and liveability to the
home. This is all commend
able and worthwhile. The on
ly amusing thing is that some
magazine writer's seem to
think they have a new idea,
that the movement is some
thing new.
When the truth of it is, that
those of us who remember
back fifty years or even long
er are aware that the average
head Of the household had to
be skilled to some extent in
carpentry. Much of the furni-
ture and odd pieces about the
average house were home
made.
1t was either to make ones
own, and it often meant ma

TAXATION HITS PROFITS

Referring to problems faced by bust
ness, Augustus c. Long, Chairman of
the Board of Texaco, Inc. says: in re-
cent years the ability of business to ope-
rate profitably has been severely handi-
capped by oppressive taxation and by
unrealsuc depreciation rates, by infla-
tionary wage and benefits demands, and
by government pressure and interven-
ton.
This squeeze on profits is one of the
basic obstacles to the recovery and
growth of our whole economic system.
Profits not only enable corporations to
pay a reasonable return to their owners.
but also to expand, replace inefficient
equipment, employ more people : yes,

of the aged : such as is now being COM
pleted by the Blue Shield, Blue Cross
and the American Medical Association.
Judging by the of many of
the editors as quoted by American Press,
expansion of government in the medical
care field was opposed for the same rea-
son that editors oppose government in
reference in other fields : deep and
abiding fear of big government and So
cialism.
Editors are a highly individualistlc
lot. The fact that they are near : unani-
o in opposition to government medi-
cine, is reason enough to taking another
look at this particular bureaucratic pill
before swallowing it.

KEEP GOVERNMENT SMALL

Keep government out of education :
Keep presidential power to a minimum :
Get out of socialization!"
That sums up the view of an over
whelmlng majority of the editors of the
nations smaller newspapers, as revealed
in a survey recently conducted by The
American Press. Typical of the general
antipathy of editors toward the whole
idea of "welfarism' is perhaps best ex-
emplified in the matter of proposals to
increase social security payments to
help provide for the hospital needs of
people over IS years of age. Seventy
eight percent of the editors expressed
preference for a voluntary non-govem-
mental plan to meet the medical needs

association, is to obtain workable defini-
ions OF executives, supervisors, and pro-
f~essionals who will be exempt from the
overtime requirements of the Fair Labor
Standards Act.
The point is that, as the government
exerts more and more control over the
affairs of business, and as its directing
hand touches more and more businesses.
varying degrees of disruption must
result. In many cases, the problems
created require expensive solutions, and
all business costs, let it be remembered,
must be paid by the customers of the
business : no one else can pay them. 1t
all goes back o the axiom that the less
government we can do with, the better
for us all.

FEDERAL POWER EXPANDS

It's one thing to pass or amend a law
but, On many an occasion, it's a very diff
ferent thing to put it smoothly into ope-
ration. Take, for instance, last years ex-
tension of the federal wage-hour law as
it applies to retail trade, and to various
other businesses.
The affected enterprises faced a pro-
blem concerning the rate that had to be
paid students who worked after school
hours and on weekends, and the kind of
work they could do. Retailers
have long employed many such young
people, ever though their value is limit
ed.
This matter has, at least in part, been
clarified. But there are more big hurdles.

MI. Long believes a complete about
face in the attitude of the public and
government toward business in this

says, seems to be getting pretty deep
rooted that everything business does is
wrong.
Our country is the greatest nation
on earth because of the American way
of life, which is the free enterprise sys-
tenn. Businessmen are largely responsible
for our growth and greatness. We must
protect that system, and in doing so in

part of the order dealing with
exclusive recognition also bars
supervisors and management
people from being part of a
unit recognized for exclusive
bargaining purposes. However,
it does add, Except where
otherwise required by estab-
lished practice. prior manage
ment or special circumstance. "
Some employe leaders take
this to mean that as long as
they have always had super
visors and management people
as officers. they will be able to
continue doing so.
But Labor and csc officials
say the language applies to
iva and Bonneville Power
contracts with employe unions
which have allowed supervisors
to be part of a bargaining unit.
They declare it has nothing
to do with the essential part
of the order which specifically
excludes from holding union
office-local or national-those
supervisors and managers con-
sidered an integral part of
management. Thus, it is clear
that any employe union that
wants any kind of recognition
informal, formal or exclusive
must adhere to this policy.
Administration officials point
out that even in tine cases of
IVA and Bonneville Power
where supervisors were allowed
10 be part of a unit for exclu-
Sive bargaining purposes. they
were not allowed to be of
ticers of these units.

tional union office. They are
stricter than some Of the other

In a rigid Interpretation of

agement program, Defense will
ban the holding Of union office
to anyone with an appreciable
degree of supervisory RESPONSE
bility.
This will not include persons
who supervise only several other
people in routine clerical or Of
flee work. But Defense officials
said employees considered an in
tegral part of management also
will be barred from union
office.
In order to give the unions
time for adjustment, the de-
partment will give local union
officers who will become ineli-
gible to hold office until July /,

that employees with "significan:
