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-

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.
