SUBSCRIPTION RATES 6 months J6.50 By Mall ... By Mall By BILL JENKINS What happened to the good old days when we used to throw things 'away? The storage problem Is an in . creasing one and holds true for almost any business or home. Peo ple Just don't throw away old Junk any more. Not without malting copies at least. There are filing cases standing m around this office that haven't been opened for fifteen years but " the very thought of cleaning 'em out and throwing the old papers away is a terrible one. And all the time people are asking for more filing room. We're all like squirrels saving up for a hard winter. " Check your closet at home and I'll bet you'll find at least a half dozen articles of clothing hanging there that you never wear, and what's more won't ever wear. And " yet you don't throw them away. Z Closet floors are always littered .with a collection of broken and battered shoes. But toss 'em out? "Heck no. Perhaps It's the price of new things that causes us to save old ones. A subconscious sense of thrift. Or maybe it's a national m trend. I had some more to say on the Wuii l"iJHUil'. dial NEW YORK W How will hlS' torv rate Harry S. Truman, who -has staked out a "for rent" sign "on the White House? " When the partisan din of our .times dies away, the chances are .he will be allotted a greater niche than many of his critics now sus- pect. I This little man of big surprises .may rank as the most warmly hu man president since Abraham Lin--coin. J? For surely one of the greatest m sources of his appeal has been the fact he looked and talked so much like the average citizen. His great office was thrust upon "him unexpectedly, and any Amer ican could look at his picture and say, "why, the same lightning might have struck me.' " That was a big advantage- to "him any voter cculd imagine himself being put in Harry's spot. Even in his act of voluntarily removing himself from the 1952 ""presidential race the latest of many unpredictable acts some "people are sure to day, "well, there's a man that finally listened to his wife." And they will feel they understand him even better. If he now goes on and steps out "of the political scene altogether, Jhis final stature in the story of our nation will begin U emerge more clearly. The small legends of leadership will cluster around his name and fame, molding him into tbe pat- tern that after generations will know. How will they remember Harry? They will remember him as a man who would rather be senator than president, and would rather "be a Medal of Honor winner than 2 either. They will remember him as a man who could pitch a baseball with either hand and look in a horse's mouth and tell Its age. " They will remember him as a "man who went broke in busi ness, spent 20 years clearing off his $20,000 debts, and went on to -spend more money than any peace " NEW YORK tfl The dream of many en hourly worker Job (.security in the form of a guaranteed annual wage is one of the issues in the steel wage-price dispute. - The steel union is asking the 'companies to agree to pay at least three-fourths of what a worker .would make if he worked all year long, whether there's that much work for him at the mill or not "in any one year. 2 But the Wage Stabilization .Board is not buying any of that squabble. It is tossing back for -management and the union to dis- cuss further. Other issues will probably de "clde whether there's an agreement .or a steel strike. But the drive for a guaranteed annual wage will doubtless crop up again in other industries. Interest In it, at low ebb in periods of full employment, re vives when men are being laid off .and people start fretting about the .chances of another depression. Demand, as usual, will be strong est in industries having wide ups "and downs In Jobs where the work ers are haunted most by the fear -of unemployment. And here man- - in vninniiini-ninim i.in.i-rtii i' .. n "nij .agement will be the hardest to convince, arguing that It's hard to forsee these cycical swings, that Jlhey often are caused by natlon- wiae or worm-wide conditions be yond the company's control, that -to agree to such a plan Is to sign -a blank check. "No company, however strong financially, can long afford to pay Jfor work that Is not performed," the Guaranty Trust Company of New York points out. To which labor leaders reply "that. If financially obligated to pay 'Jot part of the time a man Is laid joff, management might have more incentive to plan steady employ ment. Labor points to some Industries, Jiow depressed, who over-produced jit a fast rate and how are under producing while getting over the Ainge but with many of their em ployes out of work meanwhile. La bor contends that a little better )nanagemcnt might have prevented Jhat. Another argument for the guar anteed annual wage is its tendency to stabilise wage-earners' purchas BILL JENKINS Managing Editor year $11.00 subject but I seem to have lost my notes somewhere in the pile that I've been saving here in the desk for the past few months. It will be Interesting to find out from the biological survey boys what the setup is on the ducks and geese this year. Old timers and sportsmen who shou'4 know claim that there are more ducks and geese, particularly geese, going north this year than any other year they can recall. I seem to remember recalling that each spring it seemed there were more birds than the previous year. But maybe that was only nostalgia. Anyway, there are a lot of the birds in the area and every day more and more v's of geese head out for the northland. Maybe there are more birds. Mavbe some from other flyways have switched over to the Pacific flyway to avoid storms and severe weather conditions in the Missis sippi flyway. Maybe a lot of things. The real test will come next fall when the shooting season opens. One tiling at least is sure. No matter how many birds there are tlie season will be set at least a month later than it should be to afford the best hunting. V time president in historv. Thev will remember him as a man who assumed his high office with a feeling of unpreparedness, but who went on to make vast de cisions of break-taking boldness. They will remember him for his fantastic, stubborn loyalty to his friends and be in more of a position to judge whether that was a virtue or a defect. They will remember him as one who rose personally unstained from a corrup political machine to prac tice the trade of professional poli tician with an art probably un matched since Lincoln. Historians are sure to write of him as a man less simple than he seemed, and they will label as tne greatest mistake of his enemies the error they made of consistently low-rating his profound knowledge of people in the mass. "mat Doy could plow tne straightest row of corn in the coun ty," his mother once said of Tru man. "He was a farmer who could do everything there was to do Just a nine oeuer man anyone else." But he himself said: "I've worked hard all my life. That's the only recipe for success I Know." Truman has always been proud of being a professional politician. How would he himself like best to be remembered this man who called the White House "the finest prison in the world." The key can probably be found in two statements be made during his presidency: 'Government is politics and in me nanas ot aoie ana nonest poli ticians government is likely to prosper. So many men who have been attacked as politicians while they were alive have gained fame after their deaths that I think the best description of a statesman is a dead politician. , "Nothing in my life amounts to anything but world peace. That is all I am working for." But it is too early to determine yet how Harry Truman will be most remembered. For the issues of his lifetime .are still undecided. ing power, helping the entire eco nomy. But the Guaranty Trust, in its April survey, holds that this stabilizing effect is "very uncer tain and probably very limited." It also calls the result of paying a worker for not working inflation ary. And the company, in assuming the cost of guaranteeing wages with or without products resulting, would pass that cost on in higher prices, the bank says. Companies with guaranteed wage plans that have proved successful have mostly been those In which employment is relatively stable naturally, or with seasonal rather than cyclical variations. Seasonal swings can be predicted and met. The steel companies argue that unemployment in their industry is cyclical, depending upon demand for steel, which the industry can't control. None of this, of course, answers the worker's question: How can he be sure his family l3 going to have the income it needs the year around?. The answer, the bank thinks, Is unemployment compensation ra ther than a wage guarantee. "Monthly Pains" stopped . or amazingly relieved In 3 out of 4 cases In doctors' tests!

Van Leirop was preaching his sermon at the Hope Presbyter ian church here Sunday morning, an ll-year-o!d boy slipped down stairs and set three fires in the church basement. The boy then rushed back up stairs and told some adults seated in the rear of the church that two other boys had set the fires. Later the boy changed his story and admitted to authorities he wanted to see the "big red engines" come and fight the fire. Damage was slight and many of the parishioners didn't even know the church had been set ablaze. Piremen said they planned to take the boy down to a fire station and let him climb over the "big red engines." Four Die In Ore.

The fight be fore the board has been going on for years. Transamer ca attornevs contend the company is being nrosecuted just because it is big. They say it iaces plenty 01 competition where it operates. The Reserve Board counsel ar. gues that Transamerica has a ma jority or close to a majority of commercial banking facilities in widespread areas. The reported decision follows generally the recommendation of the board s trial examiner, R. M. Evans, who is a member of the seven-man board. He proposed last year that Trans america dispose of all Its stocks In 47 banks In four states over a 2 14 year period, but retain its stock in the 530-branch Bank of jured Saturday In a fall from a crane at a Portland foundry.
