Oct. 30. 1948 Editorial Correspondence Mt. Kisco, N. Y., Oct. 23 Sorry to miss the football season In Medford this year with such a wonder team at the M. H. S. Wc particularly dislike to miss the chance of getting the taste out of the editorial mouth caused by that debacle at Klamath Falls two or three years ago when the Klamath rooters in our section of the grandstand were so insulting in their comments that the "Gentle man from Kentucky" took off his coat and wanted to fight! e e e e e We have taken several walks about the country and had our first invitation to ride yesterday. Yes, a smiling, middle-aged gentleman in a sports roadster stopped and asked if he couldn't give us a lift. We were so surprised we failed to take his license number. We would have liked to have known the name of our would-be benefactor and give him some favorable publicity, for surely he deserves it. We declined with thanks explaining we were merely out for exercise, to which he remarked he wouldn't think of cheating us of that. The people around here are very kindly and well mannered but we find they aren't much for giving aid and comfort to hitch hikers. This Is not only a "horsy" country but a doggy one. Here, as everywhere else, the cocker spaniel, especially the sad-eyed, creamy-brown type appears to be the favorite; but dachshunds, boxers, Scotties, French poodles and Borzoi hounds have been observed. There are three dogs belonging to this hotel, or rather to the help. They play around outdoors almost continuously and have a grand time. One Is a cocker, one a Welsh terrier, the third a perky black and white shepherd of some sort. There is one cat with a brood of six kittens, too. That cat chases the canine-trio all over the place if they dare encroach on her preserves under the back porch. Our Australian friend, strangely enough thinks the British empire is doomed, while the newspaper and radio man, just back from Europe thinks not. "The Britishers are too tough and deter mined to allow the empire to fall apart," declares the latter "and their opposition Is too scattered and too weak. Probably John Hull has passed his prime and will never be as powerful or as rich as he once was, but when you try to write that old boy off the map you take op a job as is a job, too big a Job for any one in sight at the present time. Probably every ompire Is doomed eventually but no one now alive will live to see the liquidation that Winnie Churchill promised would not occur as long as he was the king's first minister." The gentleman from Australia Is a loyal Britisher, but believes all British possessions In Asia, including India, Malay, Hong Kong are certain to become completely independent within the next de cade or two, and without these colonics, the empire, he says, will never ne me same again. He even believes it not unlikely that Australia and Canada will eventually break the thin political ties with the mother country and form alliances with the United States. He deplores all of this but believes it inevitable, n rnrlnin n that these golden-tinted autumn leaves scattered to me lour winds before says. Could It possibly be that President Truman's honeymoon Is already over? We doubt It. But we do know there has been a marked change in the tenor of the remarks In this hotel in tne past few weeks. As one of the older girls expressed it, as she glanced over the morning paper at breakfast: "If I see that mans self-satisfied toothy smile aeatn I am going to scream!" Thoy certainly keep up the around here. There are no bill leaves, everything Is as clean and spare parlor. R.W.R. ,l,ll,,,l(l,Mlfl,IM,ll,IIMnMI,l,MM,MI, On The Side-By e. v.

Horses k Women Miriam Hopkins recently mar ried a man eight years youxger than herself. That Is not unusual these days Many women In their late thirties are marrying much younger men. However, he initiative. Is not usuully taken by the woman. Seems many youn;l fellows of today prefer women In their late thir ties to the you.ie.er females. There are several reasons for this.

For ex ample, what woman would marry a man twice her size if she weren't convinced she cculd handle the ape. When a woman who has a female boss Is work ing harder than she likes to she wishes she had a male boss so she could lessen her lubor by pulling a littlo of that fast fem inine stuff on the poor impas sionnble sap.

Wants same for a song selection which includes at least one popular hit spng for each year from luu to l3 Marvin Lee, well-known song writer offers the following as being hits In 1901: "Go Way Back and Sit Down," "Heilo Central, Give Me Heaven," "Kip Van Winkle Was a Lucky Man. and for 1903: "Always In the Way," "liedelia." "Dear Old Girl," 'Ida, Sweet as Apple Cider" and "Sweet Adeline." Caterpillars "How fast can a caterpillar run?" Is the question that was asked Dan McCowan, the Cana dian naturalist. "Ask me that question In 10 days and I will tell you," said Dan. Then he secured a caterpillar, placed him on the highway and timed him. He found a caterpillar travels at the rate of one mile in 24 hours and 20 minutes. Wonder who would win In a mile race be tween caterpillar and tor toise? About 40 per cent of farms In California keep one or more milk cows. News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington. Oct. 30 More conclusive plans to stop the strike campaign have been dis cussed at the top-inside, the past days, in advance of the promised Tru man w a g e price speech. A project for a flat 10 per cent general wage increase found great favor. The very nature of - L i T4t Ift-iii4iistnal raut elalioo such a boost, however, raised doubts about the wisdom of It. The idea is not founded upon any claim of Injustice, of price level, or to any particular workers in any industry, but upon the vague politico-economic notion that more wages would furnish more purchasing power. e e e TTHE sounder advisers around wage advance policy should be based on merit instead of a flat generalized figure. The unions should be required to justify their claims in each case. The government decisions should be geared to dispense economic Justice, perhaps through a judicial new labor board not controlled by either the unions or industry, rather than upon the principle of a union WPA. Moreover, an Increase of any flat figure could not alone sta bilize business or production for reconversion. Stabilization is vi tally needed in this reconversion period, which is even more criti cal economically, than in the war. Absolute permanent assur ances for the future must be at tained for both labor and busi ness. A 10, 20 or 30 per cent In crease alone will not prevent another outburst of strikes to morrow, next week, next month. A settlement on that basis is merely paying the unions a sort of bribe to keep quiet a while. e e e A PPRECIATION of these facts " has brought many an admin istration mentor to the conclu sion that the no-strike pledge of wartimes must be renewed as part of the settlement. There must be more. The cur rent series of walkouts included many which are unique. A local strike of a few hundred team sters tied up two-thirds of Wash ington's incoming food and liq uor supply, caused goods to pile up at railway depots. The New York elevator strike tied up all midtown Manhattan business. The electric power plant walk out in Michigan sought to cut off light and energy to an entire community. The telephone strike tied up national communica tions. These are not In the familiar pattern of the oil, coal, lumber, auto and similar strikes, but show how a few hundred men pulled out in key cities could tie up this entire nation, indeed could starve it, isolate it, dark en it, cut off its fuel energy. without attacking the majority of industries, without support of the big union leadership, in war or peace, at will. Strategic workers' strikes could do the job of a general strike, allowing the bulking millions of employes Indirectly laid off to live from unemploy ment compensation (most state laws deny benefits to strikers but allow them to workers forc ed out). POSSIBILITY someday of a - new Kind or national paraly sis is what these admittedly test strikes have shown, and they have raised the question wheth er the government must not hasten to defend the public against such a chance. The settlement must include some system requiring the un ions to assume responsibility for what they do (compulsory arbi tration like the brotherhoods, in corporation of unions, cessation of the economic (but not politi cal) agitation part of the C. I. O.- P. A. C, Ball-Burton-Hatch bill etc.) These graver considerations are responsible, I think, for Mr, Truman quietly calling In John R. Steelman, the nation's single outstanding labor conciliator, as a temporary personal adviser. The newspapers were told he was to be a "general adviser, probably dealing with congress. but this was a diplomatic ex cuse to cover whatever hurt feeling Labor Secretary Schwel lenb.ich might develop. Schwcllenbach Is new at this business. Steelman knows unions and the problems of negotiations more thoroughly than any man alive, from his long experience in the labor department. Also, he has the proper objective type of mind. But unless Steelman's settle ment Includes the elements of permanency, he will have to be doing it over and over again for the next ten years as It has been done again, again and again in the past ten.

New Electric Gadgets on Way Reconversion Survey Reveals By Sandor S Klein United Press Staff Correspondent Chbago (U.PJ Madam, that new electric range you've been waiting for is positively on the way.
