to on« per day, •wem* on the outlet a coun
ter move itnkinir oack at the aifitat.on
visited upon Gonsrr>*** to put into effect
Hoover Commitwior recommendation*.
Whether thi* m a retaliatory measure
aim**d at ConrreHsmen Aeek.nif re-election or
a dncere demonstration o f economy will he
clearly d«*f;ned by the ¡«mirth o f time the
order remains effective. 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

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

the safety rules now applicable have
