Carpenter Who Played Politics
Now Safely on Federal Payroll
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
Washington, Feb. 6 (U.R) A carpenter from Buffalo is within
a 10-penny nail of becoming a $10,000-a-year executive in the
government.
He doesn t know what he s getting into, but I'm about to tell
him.
He doesn't know what he's
getting into, but I'm going to tell
about him.
The man is Harry M. Living
ston. And he'd just as soon you
didn't mention that a couple of
years ago he was building houses
with his hammer hand and play
ing ward-heeler with the other
in New York state.
We'll take the story down the
line.
Livingston is a democrat. Be
cause the democrats won the
election in 1948, he wae named
to succeed J. C. Shanks, a re
publican, as disbursing clerk of
the house of representatives. As
such, the man from Buffalo who
used to juggle nails now has
charge of distributing millions
of dollars each year in house
salaries and payments.
Shanks now is Livingston's as
sistant and isn't too happy about
it. But that's another story,
Rep. Mary Norton of New
Jersey has just introduced a bill
that would give Livingston a
$1,000 a year boost in pay. Mrs
Norton is chairman of the house
administration committee, and
it was her committee which last
year reported out another bill
which was passed, that advanced
Livingston's annual wage by $2,-500.
As of now, the man from Buf
falo gets a gross monthly income
of $758.54, or an annual gross of
102.48 it's a matter of rec
ord. The advance in pay, if he
gets it, would make his annual
wage slightly more than $10,000.
Livingston, though, is like the
rest of us.
Right now he gets $110.60 de
ducted from his monthly pay for
income tax, and another $45.82
comes out for a .government re
tirement fund.
At the time of the first raise
for Livingston there was some
fancy goings on behind the
scenes. Rep. John Taber, a re
publican from Auburn, N.Y.,
said he would go the limit to
oppose the raise. But when the
measure came up, Taber held his
fire. It was said that the demo
crats hushed his mouth. They
were said to have told the gentle
man from New York that if he

Parking Lot Jockey Shames
Traffic Jitters of Motorists
By WILLIAM GOBER, Jr.
Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 8 VP) Are your nerves set a-jangle by
i traffic tangle? Do you fret, fume or develop a near-psychosis
when you're blocked in by a sea of autos?
Do you get jumpy and start barking at the driver ahead when
you brush bumpers? Feel sorry for yourself because you have
o expend all that energy in just
driving an auto?
Well, you ought to be asham
ed of yourself, says a man whose
worries are about 200 times big
ger every day.

an average-sized parking lot in
a medium-sized American city.
The cars are jam-packed there
all day long.
Rich Made Poor
Laborites Brag
London, Feb. 6 VP) Reduction
of Britain's, rich income group
to 250 persons was hailed last
r.ight as the labor government's
"most important step of all."
Asking British voters in the
Feb. 23 parliamentary elections
to continue his labor party in
office, food minister John Stra-
chey said only 250 Britishers
now have more than 5,000
($14,000) to spend arnually aft
er they have paid taxes.
Before the war, he said In
Dundee, Scotland, 11,000 per
sons topped the 5,000 mark.
At suburban Brixton the chan
cellor of the exchequer, Sir Staf
ford Cripps, said during the la
borites' four years in office the
"ordinary people" had made
more progress than "in any other
peacetime period of our history."
At an earlier speech Cripps
said there was a "very great dan
ger ' reaction may sweep over
Europe but that a labor or "pro
gressive" government in Britain
was the "one great safeguard
against reaction."
The party's chief strategist,
Deputy Prime Minister Herbert
Morrison, appealed In a speech
at Wakefield for liberal party
support of labor candidates.
"The clear voice is between
a labor and a conservative gov
ernment," Morrison said, adding:
"The labor party . . has ab
sorbed into its own policy and
outlook all that is best in the
liberal spirit."
opposed the Livingston increase
his protege Shanks, would be
dropped from the payroll.
But there is some comment
on the high cost of living on
$10,000 a year in Washington
I got it from the guys who make
about that.
Look Livingston: Just that
extra thousand or so will make
a lot of difference. You'll have
to live up to your means and
move to an apartment that'll
cost you something like $250 a
month. Plus utilities.
You'll have to entertain, sir.
And do you know how much it
costs to pitch a hoe-down for
say 50 or 60 people? Well, fig
ure around seven to 10 dollars
a head, if they stay from five
to eight not including the glass
es they bust or the chair legs
they break,
When you make that kind of
dough, Livingston, you have to
travel a lot. People look at your
tailored suit and right away they
expect you to pick up the check.
You can't afford to eat in the
one-armed Joints, mister. What
if a photographer came along!
Take my advice, Livingston.
Stay put.
FDR Memorial Planned
Portland, Feb. 6 VP) Sculptor
Frederic Littman has been com
missioned by the reclamation bu
reau to execute a memorial at
Grand Coulee dam in the mem
ory of Franklin D. Roosevelt and
the builders of the structure.
Before 1921, there were few
mechanical refrigerators in do
mestic use.
Sheetz, who's 51 years old,
goes to work at 8 o'clock in the
morning and quits at 7 o'clock
at night. In between, he moves
200 autos on an ordinary day,
sluicing them into their proper
spots without nicking a fender.
He's the only parking jockey on
the lot.
This means that a couple of
hundred times a day he must
get into a car, start the engine.
shuttle it into its narrow niche
and climb out again a calis-
thenic chore that wilts the aver-
ace driver just thinking about
it.
Sheetz, who came here from
Harrisburg, Pa., is a former
football player, army sergeant
and railroader. He likes his
present job better than any he's
ever had. The exercise makes
him hungry. At night he sleeps
deeply.
"Most drivers just got lead
in their legs," he observes. They
are used to sitting on soft auto
seats, and when they have to
stir around they get unhappy.
It'd be good for most of them
if they had to rustle about and
get some real exercise. Nobody
ever was hurt by it.
The ex-soldier, who helped
chase Pancho Villa through
Mexico 34 years ago, has devel
oped an uncanny dexterity in
driving autos backwards.
In three seconds flat he can
zip into a space between two
parked cars, leaving four inches
on either side. In two years
during which he has parked up
wards of 100,000 cars he has
scratched only two fenders.
Sheetz Is half Navajo Indian
which, he figures, gives him
more stamina.
'Operation Blackeye' Tries
To Sell Northerners on South
Ft. Meade, Md., Feb. 6 (P) The results are In from "opera
tion black-eye" and now the army has to figure out what they
mean.
On a directive from Washington, southern style black-eyed
peas were served to 135 men here yesterday. The peas were
prepared with salt pork and chopped onions as Mess Sgt.
Richard Kindred of Rockwood, Tenn., explained, "Just like
my mother does them."
Well, 23 of the guinea pig GIs said they liked the dish,
24 said they didn't and 88 didn't care enough eithet way to
fill out a questionnaire.
Replies also Indicated 10 of the 23 "likes" had never eaten
black-eyed peas before and 17 of the 24 "don't likes" hadn't
either. Most of the men in the test outfit, company E of the
3rd cavalry regiment, are from the north.
Pvt. Thomas Hayes of Bronx, N. J., may have summed up the
arguments of the opposition when he quipped:
"I like them better than sweet peas, but then I hate
sweet peas."
