S. Coast Guard, jx indeed a tribute to the ingenuity, energy and intestional fortitude of America’s fight- ing men. It is fitting that these reports should be made public this week, the week in whieh the Coast Guard is observing its 155th birthday, because the Coast Guard played such a powerful role in limiting the U-boat campaign's effectiveness. Starting with 28 sea-worthy craft, a majority of them Coast Guard, Hitler's raiders were gradually driven from Florida waters. It was a long, slow, costly job. There ‘were 157 attacks launched against the wolf- pecks, 12 of them effective, according to the commander-in-chief’s valuation. Out of the 157 the Coast Guard was in on 31, Of the 12, the Coast Guard is credited with 5 sure hits. Three of these five are the only | three “probably sunk” credits scored in Florida waters. The daring, patience and total disre- gard for anything but the job to be done | will never be completely chronicled. Too much happened too fast. Most of the orders were sereamed across howling gales through a megaphone or by telephone be- tween Coast Guard headquarters and what- ever hamlet along the coast the patrol skippers happened to reach after their last job Killing subs was not, and is not, the Coast Guard's only job in Florida. It still maintains its huge aids to navigation sec- tien, which places and maintains the buoys which mark channels and anchorage on all our navigable waters. dt still operates its Marine « Inspection epi and Marine Hearing anits, which enforke all federal regulations for safety at sea and mainten- anee of discipline aboard ship. A war development, but one which will save thousands of lives and millions of dollars worth of property, is the Coast Guard's Air-Sea rescue task unit. Operating from the two Coast Guard air stations at Miami and St. Petersburg, more than 600,- 000 square miles of ocean are patrolled daily. Rescues and salvage jobs which would have been out of the question 10 years ago are now routine chores for this organization which utilizes the latest in communications and aerial equipment to save lives no matter what the cost. The Coast Guard’s combat record too is without peer. A salty old Marine at Sai- pan put it in a nutshell when he growled “The Coast Guard? Hell, that’s the Navy's | secret weapon.” “You have to go out, but you don’t have te come back,” old timers tell Coast Guard rookies. That’s why the Coast Guard’s motto of “Semper Paratus”, “Always Ready” has been true for 155 years. We are living in the air age but we have not altogether gotten out of the hot air age. When you are over-impressed with the shortcomings of men just renrember that CORNY SHOWS Mayor Carbonell informed The Citizen yesterday that he is determined, -while in office, to put an end to every type of in- decency, whether it proceeds from scanty clothing or sugyestive jokes,.in Key West, so that residents will not have reason for any further complaint about the type of en- tertainment given here. “Key West has been buffeted by our own people and visitors for allowing enter- tainments here that went beyond the pale of decency. Those people were right and just in complaining, but I assure them they will not have further cause for complaint while I am in office. sy = cy wg plays an important role in our lives, but hereafter it must be clean in Key West. Those who have complained will, I trust, bear in mind that I have been mayor only a few days, and that I have had to adjust myself to the requirements of the office. One of the re- quirements I am determined to put into ef- feet is tomake Key West a place in which everybody will have no reason to feel ashamed he is residing here.” More power to Mayor Carbonell’s de- termination. A performance does not have to be suggestive to be entertaining, though a few people in every community may think differently. Recently, we heard a woman remark — she is a writer of articles, and has more than a dozen songs to her credit —, “I was taken in last night by attending a show (it was not at the Habana-Madrid), and I wish I would have stayed home and gone to bed. I don’t mind spending money, indeed, I like to spend it, for a show. that is good and clean, but this one 3 corny.” | Ho One of the strangest developments in this nation is the number of poor people who worry what will happen to million- aires. MORE THAN JOBS NEEDED From Idaho comes one of the best plans yet for creating jobs. Gordon Squires, publisher of the Cascade News, says: “It is easy to make 60 million jobs, or 70 or 80 of 100 million. Simply forbid the use of iron, then everyone would have to grub from dawn to dark just to keep alive .. . Or for- bid the use of the wheel—even wooden wheels. Then we would drag everything along over the surface of the earth... “There would be plenty of jobs from the womb to the tomb if we forbid the use of sewing or washing machines; or mowing machine, going back to the scythe; or loco- motives, going back to the ox cart; or light bulbs, going back to the tallow dip; or power looms, going back to the spinning wheel.” Editor Squires points out that the pre- sent plans to create jobs contemplate more debt, more taxes, more printed money, and a super-duper WPA. He recommends that the way to reach the desired goal is by “increasing the out- put per hour and hence the earnings of everyone who wants to work in a free country where he can choose his job — which he can’t do in Russia, and soon will not be able to do in America,” if the spend- yourself-into-prosperity philosophy is con- tinued. He asks: “Is it jobs we really want? . All this talk about 60,000,000 jobs com- pletely distorts the picture. Who wants full employment for every man, and woman anyway? There &rd | 35;000,000 families in America. Wouldn’t we feel that our system had done a grand job if 35,000,000 heads of families—with only 35,000,000 jobs—could provide a happy living for all these famil- ies? “The way forward is the same way we have come. Its general direction was right. It is not to make a giant taskmaster of the state, it is to increase the earnings of the worker with better tools, new in- ventions, encouragement to savings and in- vestment, lower costs, lower prices, lower taxes, freedom from monopoly and privil- ege and drudgery—freedom itself. More freedom, not less.” Coal threatens to be more important in Europe this Winter than gold. People might become rebellious before they freeze. HITLER ALSQ PROMISED MUCH There should be a new definition for so-called “liberal” parties. They always seek public support under the guise of giv- ing the “common man,” whoever he may be, greater liberty, opportunity and ease of living. But, contrary to their preachings, they invariably seek to bind him with the shackles of state control.

Frankensteen faternational Vice President, United Automobile-Aircraft-Agricultural Implement Workers of America, CIO MR. FRANKENSTEEN OPENS: No one can question the desirability of guaranteeing annual income to work- ers in American industry. Uncer- tainty over the next paycheck is a bad thing for the worker and his family. It is equally bad for the com- munity that depends on the worker's buying power. Insecurity for Ameri- can workers is insecurity for America. Conditions in the automobile indus- try have often been cited as evidence that annual wages cannot be guaran- teed. Heavy seasonal layoffs bringing unemployment to hundreds of thou- sands were regular during the 1930's and when depression hit people sim- ply stopped buying cars. Executives of the industry themselves, receiving yery handsome guaranteed annual wages, ask how such an unstable i dustry can guarantee stable employ; ment ard stable wages to its worl ers? Our answer is that 1949 need not ‘be another 1929. For the first time in its history the auto industry can be sure of capacity operations for at least 3 post-war years. If profits and. pete mapew Suarantee the auto, ustry ey dustry thése guarantees of profits must now be transformed into wage guarantees. If industry can plan its expenditures for machinery, office workers and executives’ salaries, why not plan expenditures for its labor too? That is ‘part of the CIO program to keep matkets from collapsing after a quick war boom. Today, without risk for it- self, industry can give workers rea- sonable guarantees for an annual wage. This would help create stable markets for years to come, thus as- suring the,ability to guarantee wages far into the future. DB. WOLMAN CHALLENGES: No Post-war profits and markets are guaranteed the automobile industry or any industry. To use the word “guarantee” that way is to misuse it. The truth is the post-war outlook for the automobile industry, and many other industries, appears unusually good. If this forecast is realized, the automobile industry and its labor will Prosper together, for three or more years, and no guarantees are needed! After this, due to the accumulation of 5 years of unsatisfied demand, the industry stands a good chance of con- tinuing to prosper only if its costs are low, the quality of its product high. Guaranteeing annual wages will raise anticipated costs by substantial amounts—discourage both the con- sumer and employer. MR. FRANKENSTEEN REPLIES: Over 27 billion dollars is now avail- able in the U.S. Treasury to com- pensate industry for losses or for less than normal profits. This is a guar- antee of profits provided in the Rev- enue Act for a two-year period after the war or reconversion. This, plus assured markets, enables industry now to guarantee regular work and regular wages to workers without risk. By so doing industry will guar- antee itself efficient workers. The assured buying power of such work- ers will extend and stabilize post- war prosperity much beyond any “three-year period”.

WOLMAN OPENS: Labor can- not be guaranteed an annual wage in the U.S. we wish to retain the essential features of a privately owned, privately managed economic system employing and dealing witl free labor. An all-powerful centr: government doubtless can give some kind of work to large numbers of People at some Kind of an annual in- come. The price of an annual wage under such conditions would be the sacrifice of precious and irreplace- able personal liberties. I assume we | are not talking about that kind of j | guarantee. Contracting to Ruprantes an annual wage under our system of economic and political freedom would | } make conditions not better but worse | for labor and the rest of us. The prin- ; cipal reason for this conclusion is that , guaranteed annual wage, unless it is so small as not to be worth much, would act as a tax on employment. Taxes on employment discourage em- ployment. An employer confronted | with a fixed charge of large magni- } tude woul, necessarily try.to Reduce the+ were. a chance on ness. Such taxes on employment have been multiplying rapidly during the : past 15 years. They constitute the | most effective threats to good em- ployment and high living standards ; in the post-war. Sound policy should | counsel us not to add to these taxes but examine existing ones for the purpose of seeing how they can be kept within bounds. MR. FRANKENSTEEN CHAL- LENGES: An annual wage is a tax upon employment, says Dr. Wolman. Couldn’t the doctor argue more ac- curately that a wage increase is a tax | on employment? Why not, then, de- mand wholesale wage cuts with the } TEC ‘ORM elimination of social security taxes | to encourage employment and to de- fend free enterprise from the dread clutches of an all powerful totalita- | rian government. Dr. Wolman’s argu- ments evade the point entirely. The annual wage requires that manage- ment plan and stabilize its business for the purpose of providing regular ; employment and regular wages to workers. That is not totalitarianism or confiscatory taxation: it is plain j good sense. DR. WOLMAN REPLIES: The question is whether guaranteed an- nual wages are feasible under a pri- vately owned, competitive economic system. They are not. A general re- quirement of ae guarantees would discourage emp! involved in assuming the costs of guaranteeing a large payroll for some time in the future. In order to mini- mize these risks they would neces- | sarily keep their forward living down | to a imum. Under the circum- | stances, a relative minority of the ‘work-force would receive regular em- ployment and regular annual wages, while the balance would be eithes entirely unemployed or employed as casual or temporary labor, ———"~ yment for the sim- | ple reason that individual business- | men could not afford to take the risks } tem being installed in 17 of the bus company’s offices throughout Florida.
