LETTER CARRIERS’ PAY
The AFL speaks of the need to get
higher wages so there'll be enough
purchasing power to prevent a depres
sion as productivity Increases. But
Cong. Gordon L. McDonough has a
ieally bright idea for helping to bring
the depression on fast.
McDonough would set up a commis
sion to study the possibility of setting
postal employes' salaries on a regional
basis, instead of the present national
basis. Also, he’s keen for “greater
differences” between postal pay in
urban and rural areas.
Pres. William Doherty of the AFL
National Association of Letter Car
riers points out that if postal wages
were set on a regional basis the ten
dency would be to “lower all wages
to the level of the area showing the
lowest prevailing wage.”
Doherty also informs Economic
Bust Booster McDonough that “50
pounds of mail on a carrier’s back in
a large city requires the same stamina
as a similar load in a small town.”—

The atom blast that came to the public’s attention
this week was a thought provoking one for the man in
the street. Having the picture of the big explosion right
in the front room is an experience that is rather unusual.
Yet millions saw by television many of the details of set
ting off an atomic blast. Citizens queried each other
about whether they saw the big blast or not. Those
having television sets generally gave a spirited version
of their viewing the historic event.
Like the old farmer, we sometimes ask, “What’s the
world cornin’ to, anyway!” Here in the latest atom bomb
blast we get a double shot, not only do we know the darn
thing went off, but we saw it!
No matter how we shake the thing, it still rolls out
that each individual citizen has the last word on this atom
bomb and television business. The citizen has the say as
to whether or not the atom shall be used for peace or
war. The citizen that ponders the problem but a tiny
bit will tangle with the idea that in this monkey-business
with the atom there something pretty big.
We do not for a moment believe that the atom bomb
will destroy the human race or the earth. It may be that
the scientists will keep on until they singe their own eye
brows with something, but the human animal isn’t as
chimb as some preach.
The same genius that created the atom bomb can be
turned to the task of building a better understanding of
human lives all over the world. We believe that if gov
