The President has re- quested a law creating a permanent Fair Employment Practices Commission. Hverybody agrees on clearing the way for “fair employment” but there is a wide- open eplit about passing the job over to a government agency—which may ball up the whole question worse than OPA has dlene The Fair Empldfment Practices Com- mission is on “temporary” trial, and it will expire July 1 unless Congress appropri- ates another bundle of money to con- tinue it. There are other features of this prob- tem that are more important than the due thee of the commission. If the employers end the labor unions could agree upon-tfair and square programs, giving deserved 'pref- erence to former employes who have been in the armed service, and at the same time tightening up the rules so that shop fore- men would be the representatives of the employers and not under the control of —well, that would be a long labor header step forward Why not get back to some of the old philosophies’ For instance, Thomas Jef- ed: “A man who qualifies him- his calling never fails of em- ployment in it.” And some time ago, Daniel Webster observed: “Constant employment ehte)!-paid labor produce, in a country lke ours, general prosperity, contentment and eheerlulnenns.”’ ewe wat trying are Ph this old, NEEDED: PAPER AND TIN CANS fereon belie wolf well fe . The need for tin is increasing,” de- elares W. Thomas Hoyt, in charge of the Selvage Division of the WPRB. Mr. Hoyt reports that 70,000,000 ~ Pounds of used tin cans were collected dur- tig the first quarter of 1945, but that this is only about half the amount needed to keep detinning plants operating at capacity, Waste paper is another salvage proj- eet that should not be overlooked during the coming holiday season. Officials urge wheel children not to neglect collections becauve the necessity continues to exist, ‘ There also is a shortage of food for thought, it seems, ee Newspapers have their faults, it’ is but ke people, they have their good points, too true Ceteeeteeenemetcteese Fortune Gallo, the only opera impres- sarie who has made all of his operatic ven. tures pay, has an inspiration in his given name A few days ago President Truman said that congressmen were worth from $20,000 te $25,000 and should receive that amount, Later he reversed himself (and that is to tis credit) by admitting he was too precipi. tate end that he favored an increase only of $1,500, over and above the salary con- gresemen are receiving at the present time. new city charter had become a law, there taining a ‘provision that would abolish the S00 | lonly thing he could QUR VOLUNTEER FIREMEN It may be recalled that, before the was a great dea! of ballyhoo about its con- Key West Volunteer Fire Department. Key Westers, who voiced that rumor, did not say the charier specifically abol- ished the department, but the abolishment was doné inferentially, that is, by omission, mention is made of the volunteers. ‘It avill be recalled further that that type of propaganda died out among .op- ponents of the charter after it had been adopted, and now it turns out, just as Rep- resentative Bernie C. Papy had announced, that the department may continue to func- tion under the commission-manager form of government. John Roberts, secretary of the volun- teer department, read the entire charter to try to find any section that, by inference, would abolish the department, but, instead, he found two sections under which the’vol- unteers may continue to function as an or- .| ganization. Mr. Roberts said, the find in the new charter that affected the volunteers was a section that gave the city manager the power to appoint a chief, instead of having him named by the volunteers through the medium.of,an election. , Mr,-Robérts pointed out that Article VII, Section 2, of the charter creates a Department af Public Safety, which will exercise contro! over the fire and police departments, “together with such bureaus or agencies as already exist.” Now, it is easy enough to prove that the volunteer department is a “bureau” or “agency” of the y, under the old charter, because it names the fire chief, a city offi- cer, a power recognized by the charter. As Mr. Papy said repeatedly, the vol- unteer firemen may continue to carry on as an organization under the new charter, with a single change in their status, the power to elect their chief. Incidentally, “Here’s smoke in your eyes,” Miami- ans’wreet one another tearfully. That patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels has been definitely proven once again in the lives and deeds of the Nazis. Every one of the Nazi big shots had a blemished character and had run afoul of the law. NIMITZ WELCOMES BRITISH FLEET Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz re- cently stood on the quarter deck of a Brit- ish battleship to welcome the British into the Pacific war, to express appreciation for service now being rendered south of Owi- nawa and to warn his listeners against ‘Axis stories planned to drive a wedge be- tween the United Nations, The Admiral did not think that the enemy propagandists were as dangerous as the idle gossip of people without re- | sponsibility, who “either maliciously and willfully or ignorantly” take pleasure in | starting various yarns, The commander of our naval opera- tions against Japan pointed out\the possi- bility 6f trouble being made byjnegple who circulate stories to gyeake sh Ce i the high tommantiena Ps batts d sarily intentionally, “but to,create a, diver- sion, perhaps to have something to write about,” spread stories that tend to disrupt the harmonious relationship that exists be- tween the Allies in the Pacific war, The men who will really have a right to celebrate the Fourth of July are the | boys who are doing the fighting to protect the principles of the Declaration of Inde pendence, Loyal subjects of the Emperor are | ready to die for their country; many of |, them are finding the opportunity to do so, Regardless of their misguided courage and devotion, they offer every American an ox= ample of how to fight for one’s country, INSULT OR JOKE?

They’: air of little and dese’ what they'll surely get. But let ‘em alone. There’s nothing to be done.” Chester drove an old Civver.

I scratched and bit. But please forgive. me for being so mean—” She couldn’t speak for crying and Carey took the phone away from her. His though nothing had happened. There was no forgiveness about it. Vera was to come back ‘tomor- row and ev just as it should be. He sat on the si bed and smoothed her hair. “We can’t hold anything to a aid. “Haven’t you pattern,” he Must it change my whole life all that I know because you are you?” fi She drew back gazing at him in horror.

By grief, too, for Vera's going was the end of a part of her life. Why had this happened? had Vera called her “sel with that sweeping inclusive fi- nality?
