Certainly, if noth ing more, it brings to sharp focus the math ematical fact that governmental economy must of nec«wuiity cause dislocations and in conveniences. Government grows in direct proportion to the s«*rvices it off«»rs. For one who chooses govemm«mt service as a livelihood and a career, there attach«** a feeling of right for c/mtinuation of his employment. And no matter how carefully economy is propose, it in«*vitably striW«»* at «ome with the threat of un«»mployment. Any group of experts who sets forth a blueprint o f governmental reorganization is subject to error, no matter how qualified th«»y might be. In fact, the democratic char acter of our government establish«** the foundation for such error because o f Am er ica's refusal to accept every word of any individual or collection o f individuals as all- wise and all-powerful. The .scope of the Hoover Gommission is all-encompassing. The task they fared and resolved staggers the imagination and, from a viewpoint of non-partisanship, allows for an ex pec ter I margin o f error What must he accepted, in consideration o f the Hoover Report, is that the human values affected by its adoption would o ffe r the most vigorous objection. For those who wholeheartedly endorse the Hoover Report in full, as well as those who applaud any vigorous attempt to reorgan ize a sprawling governmental structure in behalf of «economy, ore* decision must be faced boldly. We must recognize what the functions of government are and take ser ies« note of what reorganization will mean in human terms. Government, to start with, is s«*t up for the service of the people. Bureaucrats and politicians, in the beginning analysis, are servants of the people whose aim as deter mined by law is to carry out tAsks .so out lined. Nothing in the framework o f govern ment makes allowances for guaranteed em ployment to anyone, particularly should cer tain services he declared surplus to the needs of government. It should not he the responsibility o f gov ernment to provide guaranteed employment for all, under our system The basic value of all such jobs should and must he in terms of service. Backing up such a contention is the restriction on lals.r unions in regard to striking against the government. The temper of the p«*ople, long .suffering under the burden of ever-growing taxation, is short. In a rising clamor, they demand that C-ongres* put an end to government waste and reduce the staggering tax tithe levied for federal purposes The postoffice curtailment will bring sharply hrane the dire effects o f government reorganization and economy. For those who rise up in arms over the lessening of mail deliveries, let them recognize fully that the wages o f reorganization is economy, not more governmental services. • • • YOUNG HOODf.UM GANG Shocking h«Hidltimism has been reported in Wofidland Acres neighborhood, on the eastern fringe of Beaverton on the Bertha- Beaverton highway. As in all such reports, to see this asser tion in cold, iinretractahle print will come as a shock to parents in the district. Yet in the home* of many such parents and over the minds of the smaller children particu larly, the dark shadow of young terrorism hangs like a Mack cloud. As related to us, there are gangs of boy* some o f them ev«*n t«*enager*~ who lay in wait for little guys who venture from their own "territo ry " and attack them by biting, kicking, punching, clawing ami hair pulling, ('andv ami other (lossf'ssions ar«* taken away from the small fry and the bullying w em « to l»e an insane delight to those passing out the punishment. For the time l»eing, this is a tragedy of oppression. The small tykes who are on the painful receiving end of the kicks and punch es suffer the most, now. Upon them, no doubt, will l»e visited long standing effects o f the fear ami nervous disturbances t h e s e attack« cause. Yet, in the long run, the young h o o d lu m s might find themselves with delusions of power and memory o f comparative im|>ort mice which stemmed from their enforcing the rule o f the lioot and the fist. The history o f Man records the resurg ence o f violence as a stage in social develop ment. The caveman started the parade with his stop«1 age axe and his elemental struggle against his environment. As the status o f Man improved and hr ¡»egan to accumulate evidence* o f wealth, he found it neressAry to protect himself bates r * * i Y e a r* T h r e « Z ma * re Ata .-nonthe C ottatloi £2 j O a *3 U t _ . n * ORBßCN One ? ear _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 30 O T H E R E T a TB O One T e a r ................ a * Aa h e con trol ,ot> agency fo r • ro fa d ly ¿ ro w in g -im m u n ity, the .oral o ffic e r jf the O regon State E m p loym en t i r r ' i o , o r it»d at H U U boro p erfo rm * m u iy atgnif- .eent eervteee fo r the general pub lic, e m p lo y e r* and c o rk e r* F r e e to everyo n e Alike, the H ill*. aoro o ffic e w ith a -rained s ta ff of *en perwnne :s th oroilgh iy -quipped to >nng -o g eth -r 'b e ju all fled w o rk e r and the suitable job W ith a S s -p o m t” plan a* 'h e fou n dation o f ita 'orw ard -took ln g p rogram the em poym ent v e m e # .a in terested p rim a rily n -he ef fe c tiv e p la rem er t o f "he job-seeker ind n ~o-operat.ru with the tom - u u n ity and the em ployer *o meet all k in d * o f •mplriL—nent problem * B ehind the local rep resen tative* are not on ly -he resource* o f O re gon* in em p loym en t ’o m m iisio n out al*o the com bined action* i f ao m e 1 AM o ffic e * o f 51 at a te and te rrito ria l agencies throughout the nation B r ie fly nere are the six point* around which the O regon State E m p loym en t's S ervice p rogram o f e n rtr* h built They w ill be es pial n erf m detail In ater article* p ro re**’ ’ In HUIabwro *1 th* locai o ffic e «»re lu m found rnoat o 4 -he itero* and minar, h c t o r i that go to m ake jp 'tu * s ig n ific a c i prte- •e*» W ith 'boussm oi X fr e * ' w o rk er* m o vin g ‘ rom iu u to state, tow n to ow n u h ! e w w u * - ìty to -om m unity. u> tr.er-»iepvo-i- ent system 4 « p e c t w e i . ì ' v .- w l* a necea*ìtv New Owners Plan Custom Cannery Operation Basis A *h » <*»tom ba**» at iOfRMf operation for Oarueo Hoaue Cotn- unity O lo c s / y ddUl S.

I'iir truth, we're affected too, you know' LkAr>KR.<r o r the Firemen’s union have called a nationwide strike starting with four great, railroads on April 26 These railroads are the N ew York Central, F’enn- sylvania, Santa Fe, and »Southern. The union claim that a second fireman ia needed on grounds o f safety is sheer hypocrisy. Safety haa been dragged into this dispute only in an unsuccessful effort to give a cloak of reaps* lability to vicious feather-bedding demands. After a careful study of the first de mands of fhia union, a Presidential Fact Finding fVMird on M ay 21, 1943, reported to President Roosevelt that there was no need for an e it r a firem an on diesel locomotives. Again, on September 19, 1949, after a ■arond hearing on the union leaders’ de mands, a second Board reported to Presi dent Truman that: "there presently exists no need for an additional fireman . . . upon sillier the ground of safety or that of t f ld m q r and economy of operation." extra fireman is needed for "safety" rea sons. Here’s what the Board had to say on that point: “ The safety and on-time performance of diesel electric locomotives operated under current rules have been notabfy good . . . ‘T p o n careful analysis of the data sub> mitted on safety, we have concluded that no valid reasons have been shown » * a support for the Brotherhood pro posal under which a fireman would be required to be at all times continuously in the cab of road diesels. The proposal must be rejected." / The real reason behind these demands is that the union leaders are trying to make jobs where there ia no work. In other words, a plain case of "feather-bedding." The railroads have no intention of yield ing to these wasteful make-work demands. "The Sofety Record of Diesels is Otrtsfandintjly Good...” P re sid e n tia l F act F inding B ayard R eport Read these excerpts from official nqiAirts o f Presidential Fact Finding Boards: "Th# safety rectYrd o f Diesels is out standingly good, and it follows that the safety rules now applicable have produced good results.” T he safety and on-time performance o f Diesel-electric locomotive« operated under current rules indicate that Diesel-electric operation has t>een safer than steam locomotive operation . . .** R em em ber!
