Certain high German officials felt that this was part of the price which should have been paid for German aid in defending the West. Allied leaders refused to agree to this concession and stood fast in the position of refusing to question the sen- tences of their military courts, As a concession to German public opinion, however, they did agree that a review “board should be set up. This means of course that the sub- ject of returning prisoners to the German government will be an always-present subject of future negotiations. Under the peace contract with West Germany, war criminals will remain in allied. custody until their sen- tences have been served or until they have been released by a special review board. There are certain prisoners whose sentences are not subject to review, the big seven: Rudolph Hess, Walter Fink, and Erich Rader, all serving life sentences; Albert Speer and B. von Shirach, both 20 years; Constantin von Neurath, 15 years, and Karl Doe- nitz, 10 years. HOSPITALS OF THE FUTURE Dr. Jack Masur, of the U. S. Public Health Service, recently pictured to the American Surgical Trade Asso- ciation in Chicago what the hospital of the future will be like. He said that hospitals of the future will move to meet the need for complete rehabilitation and that there will be a growth in home care provided by hospitals. Hospitals will not discharge a patient as cured mere- ly because the fever is down or the stitches are out. Re- storing health to body, mind, and spirit will be within the scope of hospital treatment. In the opinion of Dr. Masur, fifty years from now hospitals will be located outside of congested city areas but they will be integrated with: clinics set up in the cities. The ward is on the way out, buildings will be com- pletely air-conditioned, and plumbing will be built into beds which will be operated electrically. Being born poor need not be a permanent handicap but only hard work will erase it. The measure of a person can often be judged by the length of time he keeps his high ideals. SLICE OF HAM “Pretty Polly” M. A. COFFEY of Chattanooga, Nation In New WASHINGTON (# — Thousands of government workers throughout the country are being fired as a result of sharp cuts the 82nd Con- gress made in appropriations for federal agencies. Although virtually all depart- ments feel the pinch, bardest hit are the six economic stabilization agencies which officials estimate will release more than 9,000—or over 50 per cent—of their 17,000 employes within 30 days. These agencies are the Economic Stabilization Agency (ESA), Office of Price Stabilization (OPS), Wage | Stabilization Board (WSB), Office jof Rent Stabilization, Salary Sta- bilization Board, and Railroad and Airline Wage Board. | Operating on $99,658,375 during the fiscal year which closed June 30, the agencies were cut to 60 millicns for the fiscal year which ibegan July 1. Other government departments, (their funds not cut so sharply, are {not expected to trim personnel so drastically. State Department officials for jexample, figure they will have to eliminate about 400 jobs here and | another 20 in the American mission jto the United Nations. They esti- | mated cuts could be made by not \filling jobs vacated through normal {turnover of personnel, and plan no immediate firings. The State Department was | Sranted 76 million dollars for fiscal 41953, a cut of $2,200,000 from last | year and $4,250,000 below the sum | requested. There were no immediate reports | ! from other government agencies on planned cutbacks, but the total | will run into additional thousands, | Officials predict. The economic agencies, set up) to control wages, prices, rents and jother economic factors, as of June |30 had a total of 17,089 employes | They imeluded: OPS 12.219; Rent | Stabilization 2,900; Wage Board 1,600; Salary Board 380; ESA 66; | Rail and Airline Wage Board 14. Of the 60 million dollars voted by Congress after lawmakers de- cided price and wage controls must end next April 36, officials said 21 millions are earmarked for reat stabilization, Another estimated eight million i jdollars will be needed to pay for annual leave to dismissed em } Ployes, leaving only 42 million dol j lars for operation of the other five | | agencies.

Thousands Of Gov't Workers Are Being Fired Througheut THIS ROCK OF OURS » BILL GIBB 00444 64444444444444444444444444444444 For nearly two years, this col-| umn has been urging Key Westers to face local problems and condi- towns are successfully coping with criminal situations through the functions of a “Crime Commission.” Please read the following letter and think avout the subject be- cause for the next couple of issues, “This Rock” is going to devote it- self to the subject: Dear Mr. Gibb: « . -you asked for information on methods or plans for setting up a local Crime Commission, and about ;2 “national headquarters.” There are no national headquar- : ters as yet, although at a confer- ence of Citizen Crime Commissions in Chicago on October 15th-16th, 1951, plans for establishing one were discussed and a committee is working on this now. This conference was r the of the Chicago Crime Commission, Virgil W. Peterson, | Operating Director, 79 W. Monroe | St., Chicago 3, Illinois. The Chica- go Crime Commission which was established in 1918 and is the oldest in the country. It has extensive files | and a considerable staff. Most of | the other Crime Commissions in the nation are patterned directly or indirectly on the Chicago Com- mission and its experiences. Enclosed for your study are co- pies of the Charter and By-Laws of the Hillsborough County Crime our ‘‘Application for Membership” blank and a copy of ‘‘Questions and Answers” on this Commission. Generally speaking, a Commis- sion such as this is established by a carefully selected group of in- ‘ terested, decent, and leading citi- zens of a community. If their Commission is to be a success, these people must have no other motive than service to the entire community through investigation and exposure of organized crime and official corruption, as well as promoting better law enforcement and respect for law enforcement.

To make a hole in the ground— whether for an oil well or a tele- phone pole—costs more every year. Present drilling methods have become so expensive that 42 oil companies and drilling contrac- tors are financing a two million dollar research project by sci- entists of Battelle Memorial Insti- tute. In their two-year search for newer and cheaper methods, the are considering such things as rockets, supersonic sound waves and electric ares. Drilling costs are up about three and a half times over 1937, Hum- ble Oil and Refining Co. reports. Freeport Sulphur Co. says it costs about $17 a foot to drill holes in search of sulphur. It spent $800, 000 last year in 20 exploratory wells along the coastal Louisiana marshes, where difficult terrain calls for drilling rigs costing a! quarter million dollars each. It sometimes takes as many as 20 wells to outline a deposit of sul- phur. It costs to dig a post hole too. The New York Telephone Co. says! a telephone post hole averages! $3.30 a foot, or around $20 for the | usual six-foot hole. The American Petroleum Insti- tute says the oil industry spent around two billion dollars last year in drilling 44,299 wells, at an aver- age cost of $42,000 a well—wheth-/; ¢r it produced oil or found none. | Only five years ago a well aver- | aged $32,000. Rising costs of drill- | ing were a big reason. i Another is that oilmen steadily go deeper in their quest for oil. Contractor costs range from $3.50 | Young Franklin, until Fagan came along, had only been assist- ant to Gottfried Rein- fpeetee iilar i fiths, thé Fearless Fagan story was practically written on the spot. “I'll never forget that ride,” Humeston recalls. “People would do the silliest double takes when we'd stop at a signal light and they’d spot old Fagan sitting there in the back; seat.” “°° * “We even had more fun than that,” Franklin added. “We showed up at a cocktail party that night with Fagan on a leash. Quite a beast from the time it was four days old. He spends every furlough away from Ft. Ord with Fagan. MGM paid Franklin and Grif- fiths $10,000 for the Fearless Fagan story. They split it three ways with Humeston who said he considered the money of minor importance. The fact that Fagan has a good tome at MGM is what's really im- portant. “The very least I could do for that lion is give it a good home,” says Franklin. “Look what he's done for me. He only needs 16 pounds of horsemeat a day. What other MGM star works that cheap?” There are 158 species and sub- species of living and fossil kanga- roos.
