A Nicholi' Worth of Comment On This and That Harouo Ntcholi was building Washington, Feb. 6 U.R) A carpenter from Buffalo la with in a 10-penity nail of becoming a $iu,uuu a year executive in the govern ment.

We II take the story down the line. Livingston is a democrat. Be cause the democrats won the election in 194B, he was named to succeed J. C. Shanks, a repub lican, as disbursing clerk of the house of representatives. As such, the man from Buffalo who used to juggle nails now lias charge of distributing millions of dollars each year in house lalaries and payments. Shanks now is Livingston's as- aistnnt and isn't too happy about It. But that s another story. Pay Boost Introduced Rep. Mary Norton of New Jer sey has just introduced a Din that would give Livingston a SI, 000 it 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 $2,300. As of now, the man from Buf falo gels a gross monthly income of $758. 54, or an annual gross of $9.102 48 It's a matter of rec ord. The advance in pay, If he gets it, would mnke his annual wage slightly more than $10,000. Livingston, though. Is like the rest of us. Right now he gets $110.80 deducted from his monthly pnv for Income tax. and another $45.82 comes out for a government retirement fund. Fancy Goings On At the time of the first raise for Livingston there wns some fancy gniugs on behind the scenes. Rep. John Tabor, a re publican from Auburn, N. Y., said he would go the limit to onposc 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 gen tleman from New York that if he opposed the Livingston in crease his protege, Shanks, would be dropped from the pay- By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Preu feature Wrltei roll. But there is some comment on the high cost of living on $10,000 a year in Washington. I got it from guys who make about that Look, Livingston: Just that ex tra 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 80 people? Well, figure around seven to $10 dollars a head, if they stay from five to eight not including the glasses 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 cat In the one-armed joints, mister. What if a photographer came along! Take my advice, Livingston. Stay put.

Truman Urged To Take Leadership To Halt Warfare New York, Feb. 6 ;U.R President Truman was urged to day to "take more affirmative leadership" toward halting inter national economic warfare and the arms race. The plea was contained in a letter signed by 156 prominent citizens of 28 states. The letter was drafted by James P. War burg, Henry B. Cabot, Henry W. Schacter, Norman Cousins, Stanley M. Isaacs, Hugh Satter lee and Robert E. Sherwood. Signers Applaud The signers "applauded" the "courage and confidence" with which Mr. Truman looked into the future. "Nevertheless," their letter said, "we are deeply concerned over what appears to us the dis creptancy between your affirm ative attitude toward building the peace and the preponderant ly negative emphasis in the for eign policies we are at present pursuing. The letter asked the president to take two steps to "end the conditions in which military preparations must play so large a part in our total foreign pol icy effort." More Leadership These were: "1. To take more affirmative leadership toward halting eco nomic warfare among the world's hard-pressed peoples, by bringing them together in a broad cooperative plan of re construction and resource devel opment." "2. To take the leadership in halting the arms race and in bringing about those conditions which will make eventual uni versal disarmament possible.' The letter added: Moving From Policy "We feel, Mr. President, that you are moving from a policy, the primary aim of which was to stop Russia, toward a policy, the primary aim of which is affirm ative leadership toward peace. We not only applaud this shift In emphasis, we urge you to accel erate the process of change. We urge you to narrow the discrrp oncy between our alms and the yet Inadequate means sug gested for their realization." The letter was released here by Warburg, who said it had al ready been forwarded to the White House.

BPW To Sponsor Scholarship Fund A carnival to raise money for a college scholarship for a Med ford high school girl student will be held at 7:30 p.m., Febru ary 15, in the Medford armory under the sponsorship of the Medford Business and Profes sional Women's club, it was an nounced by club officers today. In telling of the carnival plans, the club also revealed the qualifications required of the scholarship recipient. They are (1) grades demanded for college entrance, ( 2) a chosen career, and (3) a definite need for finan cial assistance. Need Important The club members feel that the third qualification is the most important, and therefore more emphasis will be placed on financial need than on scho lastic achievement. "There are probably many girls who desire a college educa tion who would do very well in their chosen profession whose grades are not above average," the club said. "It will be the pur pose of this fund to give such a youngster the chance to develop iier ability." In the event the proceeds from the carnival exceed the scholarship fund need, the ex cess will be used for other phil anthropic activities of the club, such as Girl scouts. March of Dimes, Red Cross, and others. The carnival will nave an kinds of booths and events, the club's announcement said, with many prizes to be given. There will be no admission cnarge.
