NAT:UNAL REPRESENTATIVES ~ Alasks' Mewspapers, 1411 Wourth Avenue Bidg., Seattle, Wasi\. — e UR ACS PAYROLL Perhaps all Juneauites did not read and digest the information given out at a recent Chamber of Commerce meeting by Cel. T. J. Tully, ACS Com- mander. For instance he said that Alaska Communications System has an annual payroll in Suotheast Alaska of about $350,000, employing 120 persons, both military and civilian. Of this amount, $150,000 comes to Juneau | where 55 persons aré staffed. He said that present plams call for the expenditure of an additional $50,000 in Juneau, and $110,000 each at Skagway and Ketchikan for expanded facilities. He said* that ACS will be equal to anything in the States when present plans are completed. Some zood sized payroll for Juneau in itself that perhaps few here had stopped to consider. Colonel Tully also explained the many recent im- provements in service for ship-to-shore communica~ tions, telephone lines and radio broadcasting facilities. He said that ACS can now handle more business on its lines than can be transmitted to the States because, of “limits placed by Canadian and United States tele- phone facilities. “NUISANCE SHOPPERS” Here is a little item that perhaps may be taken, locally. The London Daily Mirror welcomes the news that a Lancashire food committee has given certain retail- | ers permission to refuse to serve customers who grumble and cause shop assistants a lot of trouble. The paper takes the line that courtesy in the' shops is a] mutual affair and that what stands for one side of the counter stands nlso for the‘other. It hopes that jclassified workers. | knocking what it calls “this tit-for-that move” means the end of the nuisance shopper. Strange Byrd (Washington Post) That great champion of Pederal economy and tax- of scalps to his collection. =During the harried hours !before the Eightieth Congress wound up, when the | Federal pay raise was being debated, he suecessfully harpooned the efforts to extend the increase to high Government officials and Cabinet members. ‘The re: Isult of this eagle-eyed ‘economy is to “save” the tax- payers all of one million dollars in legislation that will cost about ‘530 millions. Since he was so intent on saving money, pre- sumably Senator Byrd was not much concerned with the incidental effects of this exclusion. The exclusion, however, is in many ways more significant than the s raise that was voted. For the goats in the Byrd “economy” are the persons most intimately concerned with the carrying out of governmental policy. The heads of many Government agencies are now drawing | salaries that were set by law 20 or more years ago. They have suffered from inflation no less than have Affer much thoughtful considera- tion, an attempt was made in the Senate to win approval for raising the salaries of such offigials and of Cabinet ‘members an average of $5000 a year. In this provision out, Senator Byrd helped confirm the fact that governmental service on a high | { i | { i plane is becoming something only rich men can afford. | An even worse result of the Byrd “economy” is | the anomaly it creates with respect to subordinates. For example, a bureau head whose salary is set by | payers’ rights. Senator Byrd, has added another set|® JULY 27 Shirley King Guy Gaudet Mrs. Richard Peter Mrs. Ray H.

Wora- bec. From Haines: John Parminter, Mr. Ellinger, Tom Morgan and wife and law will continue to receive $10,000, but his assistant, who occupies a classified position, now may be paid {up to $10330. If that is good administrative prac- | | tice, then the whole idea of remuneration in accord- | ‘ance with responsibility it topsy-turvy. Altogether ll,he boteh that ‘emerged from Congress, to which Sena- tor Byrd contributed in large measure, cannot help but augment the hemorrhage of talent from the Gov- |ernment. How can the Federal service hold on to its top personnel, much less attract able men from private \life, when ridiculous inconsistencies prevail? = Thanks to Senator Byrd, the taxpayers are one million dollars !$feher—and poorer by many times that amount in the | damage that has been wreaked on the caliber of their Government. Hitting His Stride (Cincinnati Enquirer) Writing from Philadelphia, The Enquirer’s Lou Smith reports: “. . . Commissioner A. B. Chandler iis picking up new friends almost daily among the Eastern spmts~0r1ter fraternity. They are beginning | to appreciate that he is a two-fisted fighting guy who |is doing a good job of running the national pastime . Ever since Happy Chandler signed a seven-year $50,000 contract as the No. 1 man of baseball he has ibeen in hot water. Larry MacPhail was largely re- sponsible for Chandler's selection for this job, and then Happy found it necessary to crack down hard on the loquacious Mr. MacPhail. His action in sus- pending Leo Durocher created a tremendous hubbub, |and during all of these proceedings the Commissioner | frequently ruffled the feathers of the sports writers, iwho, as a result, said scme. harsh things about him. But Happy Chandler has been in public life a {long time, and he knows that this is part of the game. He took these criticisms in stride and went his own 1way doing his job as he believed it should be done.! Now we are glad to see (from Lou Smith’s report) that his most severe critics are finally coming to the con- clusion that Chandler knows his business and is doing a good job for baseball. We think he is, too—and 1 have thought so0 all along.
