Wealth should be a side product, not the main objective. Service and
love of feUow-men sometimes does bring wealth as an Incidental, but
as an end in itself it is holly evil. He that hasteth to be rich hath an
evil eye—Prov. 28:22.
For Distinguished Disservice—To the U. S. A.
'AM/
Union Has Stability Key
SHORTLY the wajre-policy committee of the United Steel
P Workers will meet in Atlantic City to frame its demands
for the December wage talks with the steel industry. Once
again, a major union faces an opportunity to temper legiti-
mate aspirations with statesmanlike reserve—in the interer*
Jof a sound economy and a sure defense.
First of all, no thought should be entertained of using
it strike this time to enforce union demands. The U. S. re-
armament program, up to now somewhat behind schedule,
is at last getting into stride. A crippling shortage of steel
plight put it months off the desired pace.
. Apparently Defense Mobilizer Charles Wilson is optimistic
that the steelworkers understand this thoroughly. He said
the other day “I believe they’ll keep production going.” The
jiation must hope his confidence in their judgment of national
necessities is not misplaced.
WHAT of the wage demands themselves? The union, of
. course, has not yet made up its mind what to seek.
According to existing wage-ceiling formula, the steelmen
are entitled to just four more cents an hour. There is con-
siderable doubt that USW officials will be content with that
relatively meager advance.
What they decide, and what finally is agreed upon, are
of great im|«)rtance both to the wage strategy of other big
unions and to a country trying hard to keeps its economy
out of a dizzy inflation spiral.
Three courses loom ahead at this moment.
The union can accept the four-cent boost and remain
within present wage formula limits.
It can press for a higher increase, with the prospect that
if it succeeds the dam will be broken and a new flood of
wage-hike demands will pour in upon industry.
It can search for some new formula that somehow pre-
serves the current anti-inflation structure but opens the way
for increased rewards at the pay window.

THIS last may sound like a contradictory task, but it may
not be. In the well-advertised General Motors contract,
linked not only with the cost of living but with
wages are linked not only with the cost of living
productivity. That is, they may rise as the output per man
hour—prime index of worker efficiency—climbs.
The theory is that such increased efficiency spells sav-
ings, and that these may be safely passed on to workers,
consumers and stockholders without contributing measurably
to inflationary pressures. In contrast, other types of wage
boost add to costs—and prices—with no compensating offset
of efficiency.
There are hints that this formula may come in for careful
scrutiny by the steel union. The device has been widely
applauded on many sides, not least because it places a pre-
mium on heightened efficiency and makes a hike in wages
a reward for that sound accomplishment.
Plainly, the formula has merit, and it appears to be
successful where it is being tested. For the steelworkers to
accept it would be consonant both with their own ambition
for a better lot and the nation’s need for a stable economy.

THE STORY: On the first day
after her arrival at Black Firs,
Elizabeth Brownell, who is to nnrse
the invalid owner of the estate,
Mrs. I.Helen Stelnhart, is impressed
by the sombre surroundings. There
is a large family, including: two
grandsons and a granddaughter,
and a son Oliver, who is rather
eccentric. Elizabeth also has
learned that Bill Devanter, a young
man she met at the station, is not
popular with the Steinharts.

LIZABETH'S dark eyes watched
Oliver Stelnhart. Though they
mirrored his funny pudgy face and
scintillating eye glasses, they were
seeing Bill Dcvanter's strong mus-
cular fingers on the wheel of the
station wagon and the enigmatic
smile that twisted his lips as he
said, "I'm the Stelnhart nemesis.''
She spoke to OlUe:
"Mr. Devanter didn't mention
your land. You sec, we were to-
gether such a short while."
Ollic chuckled wolflshly. “And
being a smart young man. he
wasn't i.omu to waste time talking
about law suits.”
"Law suits!"
"There’s about to be one. After
all. he's trying to claim a great
deal of what we thought was our
property. We have to put up a
token defense."
"I didn't know his land adjoined
yours."
"It doesn't. I doubt very much

state does and he's the state sur-
veyor. He dug up some old records

"Is she very ill. Doctor?”
"You haven't seen Mrs. Stein-

"No, she was asleep when I ar-
rived last night!"
“Himnmm. Well it’s my opinion

TIE stared absently at the gilded
cherub holding the ornate cen-
tral chandelier and a faint specu-
lative glimmer came and went in
his alert little eyes. “Unless Emily’s
up to something,” he finished.
Elizabeth frowned wondering just
how good a physician Dr. Appleby
was. Was there a clinical deviation
in her illness that had him puzzled
and that he preferred not to admit
even to himself? Because it might

8till. if he had known Mrs. Steln-
hart all her life and attended her

"Just what is her condition
Doctor?"
"Hemiplegia. Left side. Hap-
pened a week ago. she should be
improving because it didn't seem
too severe and I administered the
latest treatment."
Elizabeth's mind raced over her
memory of materia medtea to the

homurrhage or embolism, may re-
sult from lesion of the spinal cord
or as a hysteric complication.

Possibly. The rest of the fam-

Elizabeth wanted to laugh. What
could be more Innocuous than a

was built upon a molehill! While

gaunt-faced inaid bent over her

GREENWOOD, Miss.—(U.R)—Liv-

Cotton's empire, Mrs. J. R. Oreene

offices and cotton compresses but

the wires look like hawsers and
carry a terrific weight.
It Is the “Danse Macabre" to
linemen. No situation in their
book presents the elements of
danger and fiendish working con-
ditions as does "the dance with
the ice.”
I was out in the weather yes-
terday and knew It was bad, but
came home around one p. m.
and shut the weather out. House
was warm, no fires to stoke. Can
remember when I had to rush
down cellar, throw on a hundred
pounds of coal, or thereabout,
yank open the dampers and wait
for nature to take Its course.
With combination of natural
gas and electric gadget, I do not
think of how or why the house
is warm. It just is.
Had an extra stint of writing
to do. Sat under the glow of an
electric lamp which never fal-
tered and only when I turned to
the telephone and glanced out
the window at the snow did it
occur to me just how important
to our everyday comfort Reddy
Kilowatt Is.
I can remember when El Reno
people shelved their kerosene
lamps and had houses wired for
electricity.
J. A. Masters either built, own-
ed and operated, or the city own-
ed the first light plant, but the
fly-blown cord ending in a car-
bon globe, which Josh Billings
so aptly described as a red hot
hairpin In a bottle, was ne plus
ultra.
This early day operation went
off every time the wind changed.
We hadn't any auxiliary power
to hook on to so a few lamps
were kept handy ns supplemental
materiel.
Then enme the tungsten lamp
so fragile the filament would
break if one blew on it. and the
holophane shade which difused
the glow or concentnrted it on
one spot. These were great Im-
provements.
I do not remember the date
when O. G. r.nd E. acquired the
property but it was then we
threw away our lamps and ex-
pected the superior service we
have had.
Being hooked up with a whole
family of distribution plants gives
us the security we need and we
are no longer orphans In a
storm.
Nothing appeals to me less
than municipal ownership of gas
and light properties.
The financial gain is not worth
consideration compared to the
service loss.
I've lived with both und speak
from experience.

Berlin Has No War Scare
Despite Russian Menace
gERLIN, Nov. 6 —(NEA)— When
Americans in Berlin read pieces
in the paper about people back home
building bomb shelters, they wonder
what the scare Is all about. Nobody
Is building any bomb shelters here.
There is no atomic bomb scare
here, and these people are living
right under the Russian guns.
There are some 2,000 American
civilians here, in addition to the
troops. Mostly they are wives and
fTtHERE Is a theory that if the Rus-
•R sians should march west, they
might by-pass Berlin. They surround
It now. Rather than trying to clean
it out as a strong point in their
path, they might leave it for siege
and starvation in another bloody
city war.
This is the threat that Berliners
live under and ignore.
Eighteen freight trains a day and
four passenger trains connect West
children of American officials. There ] Berlin with Western Germany, 103
are a hundred or so state depart-
ment people and civilian advisers to
the U. S. commander. Major Gen-
eral Lemuel Maihewson.
Western Berlin society is reviving.
Ever since the airlift, and the Mar-
shall plan, Americans rate high with
all Berllnerg. The wives of the
American officers have their club,
and they do relief work among the
refugees who stream across the
border from the east Russian zone.
There is plenty to eat and plenty
to buy. Life goes on.
"We don't need anyone's sym-
pathy.” says Mathewson, the big
blond paratrooper who has been in
command here since January. "But
we would like to have the people
at home better informed on Berlin."

In the Western zones, however,
business Is booming, despite the
terrible refugee problem—there were
6,000 arrivals last month, 200 a
day—and an unemployment of 25
percent of the million workers.
Industrial production In the West-
ern zones is only 45 percent of the
1936 level. But this is a three-fold
improvement over the 14 percent
of the blockade and airlift days.
There is no particular incentive
for this revival. Berlin businessmen
have to pay ten percent for short-
term money. But there is a determi-
nation on the part of the Berliners,
in spite of all Soviet threats, to make
Berlin again the capital of Ger-
many. Morale Is high.
There Is no question but that the
Soviet could push the Western pow-
ers out of Berlin If they wanted to.
Tempelhof airfield In the American
zone and all of Western Berlin, for
that matter, is In easy artillery
range of Russian guns. They could
pulverize any target they chose.
Yet so definite are the allied
commitments that the Russians
know any open attack on Berlin
would mean the start of World
war III. That is the only safety the
city has.
miles a way at the closest point.
Also there is the one autobahn, or
express highway over which the
Russians allow motor traffic to
move, with checks. But they could
shut all this off on a moment's
whim.
The only agreement which the
Western powers have in writing with
respect to Berlin traffic is the right
to use the air corridor over which
the airlift was flown.
This, as a matter of hindsight, is
the result of another American dip-
lomatic blunder. When the Russians
agreed to lift the blockade In 1949,
there was such a relief in Berlin,
In Germany and Washington,
London and Paris, that another
loose deal was made.
It had been feared that the block-
ade and the airlift might lead to
war. When the threat of this war
was evaded. American officials now
believe that whole new deal should
have been made over Berlin.
