Concensus of the piece was. as

WASHINGTON W One of the
never-ending wonders of Washing
ton is the amount of virtue claimed
by both sides in a controversy. The
most recent example is the dispute
over postmasters.
Under the present system post
masters of the first, second and
third class are chosen by the Presi

proves. The Senate can kill his
appointments. President Truman
asked Congress to change this.
He suggested that all postmas
ters be put under civil service in
such a way that the President and
the Senate would have nothing to
say about appointments at all. He
said the postmaster general, a
member of bis cabinet should
make them.
The Senate rose in its wrath

We came across something the

condition of the farm markets

- From what we've observed of

the Senate approved "postmasters

the Senate of passing on them."
There's no law saying the post

postmaster general could do with
the first, second and third class
postmasters what he's free to do
with the fourth now.
For that matter, all four classes
of postmaster come under civil
service now. The classification of
each postmaster depends on the
amount of money taken in by his
office.
An office is in the first class
when it takes in at least $40,000
a year (there are 2.845 first class
postmasters); an office Is second
class when its' revenue is between
$8,000 and $40,000 (there are 5.954

NEW YORK i.n I, ml Irs. there
are storm aitnals In Iho news hint
lily that everything Is rising In
value today except wives.
Are wives over-lntlated? Should
lliry be put tinder coiiliols? These
Issues have been raised by two
recent Items of Interest to every
thoughtful woman, and by that, of
course, I mean every woman:
1. A British Judge, granting a
divorce lo a luikband whose wile
ran off with another man, rut the
husband's claim for damages liom
$700 lo $210. and aald:
"Her value lo her husband was
diminishing from year to year be
cause of disagreements."
2. Dr. Samuel W. Stevenson, a
Virginia professor, describing wom
en as "Ihe arch foe," called lor a
new St. George lo emanclpalo
American men and give them lour
new freedoms, to wit:
"Freedom from nagging, free
dom from backseat driving. Iree
dom to relax In old clothes alter a
hard day's work, and freedom Irom
Indigestion.
Observing wllh tad hilarity that
men no longer deserved the title
"mice" as women are afraid ol
mice, he said "e have become
worms.'1
It Is high lime, the good prolessor
added that men lorce the restora
tion of the word 'obey' In the mar
riage ceremony. He thinks men
also ought lo decide when thry need
a haircut, pick their own cloihiv.
and their wile s hats, and decide
whether "Ihe Joneses are lo be
kept up wllh or not."
But this was his most revolution
ary idea:
"No woman, married nf single,
nhall be permitted to speak ol her
Munition until she hd kept in writ
ing for one year an accurate ac
count ol all 1 r snap judgment
and has compiled a record ol at
least 60 per cent accuracy."
The average wile would leap al
this chance to show Dr. Stevens
up. Any woman Instinctively knows
enough about double entry book
keeping lo prove her Intuition Is al
least 99 per cent correct not a
lame 60 per cent.
Nor can we see many wives get
ting thin from worrying over the
professor's bugle call lor a mule
rebellion In America. II husbands
have become wuinis in this country
It Is through sheer lailnesa. the
abandonment of masculine respon
sibility to the philosophy of "let
the little woman, do It" Such
worms are unlikely to turn In re
volt. They don't want any more
aulhorlly. They'd rather go on be
ing spoiled and petted.
But that British Judge's decision
la an entirely dllferent matter. H
strikes at the very heart of wom
en's theory of power.
Does any wlfn want It written In
Ihe lawbooks Hint her value de
creases "from year to year because
of (llsngrrciiients"? It It an uneasy
precedent.
Husbands might alurt going Into
court, saying:
"Judge, I want a divorce, and
don't give me any nonsense about
alimony. My old lady and I have
had so many dlsngrepineiils aim
Isn't worth a plugged uirkel, and I
hereby give her awuy lice."
Wives have Just the oppusitn
view. They llgurn Hie (ears thev

"Why, If It weren't for the argu
ments I give my silly husband we'd

up.
