Among other things, -it is johe of the biggest builders and developers of physical ' property. I Asgan example, it is estimated that, since World War .11, the chain store industry alone has spent $3,512,000,000 for construction and modernization of its outlets. This does not include the big investments the chains have made Trr warehouse construction and new equipment. Nor does it infclude the tremendous sums spent for similar purposes Jby stores other than the chains. ; Tliis spending has one primary purpose—to make it - easier and pleasanter for the consumers of the nation do-their shopping. The physical changes which have taken, place in typical retail stores in the last decp.de Lhuve been tremendous. The highest possible degree of has been attained. Displays are infinitely more .attractive. Stocks are far larger and more varied. And, in |he stores’ operating efficiency and economy have been 'greatly improved—to the benefit of the owner and the customer alike. . This trend is the ond of the many fruits of the competi jjtive gystem. If anyone had a monopoly on retail trade, * there. wOuld be small reason to improve a store’s physical *. attributes or anything else—the consumer would have 'to accept aFhat h'e found and like it or lump it. But, when competition is free, the store which lags behind the march ‘Of pufigrtess soon Finds customers are passing by its doors MS- drev es. Success goes to those who earn it. Socialism Threatens free Labor ; —Thft New York Timtes recently carried an article which Isaid Sipt Frank W. Jacobs, vice president of the Intema ‘Bbnai Brotherhood of Electric Workers, had .repudiated •Bfe-TJmon’S former support o*»soV*rM-ment ei«tW power ; {Jgvelopment, and that the union is definitely shifting in ■ fßvor_of private ownership. Mr. Jacob® declared that the public power program “has been extended step by step to the. point of peril to legitimate free enterprise and free •labor,” He added that the IBEW had learned “through hitter experience” that labor’s rights are not protected funder socialized power. ; short time ago the Chicago Federation of Labor, Jyhich comprises some 500 local unions with a membership «£- OQQ,OOO, repealed one of its constitutional provisions Sa*OMiting public ownership of power, gas, water, tele phone, and local transport facilities. The Federation president said that his organization is for “free enterprise JEBm top to bottom.” “diOSecent years, a number of other unions and individual labor leaders have expressed similar views—and some of UEm were hot and heavy for public ownership of utilities' ia-pript. has happened is that labor is finally tffraerstanding that its freedom can be maintained only if free entdvprise is maintained. Regardless of all differ ences between labor and management, the two freedoms >rs peas from the same pod. When socialism destroys free enterprise, free labor dies with it, • In all the communist countries, labor has been enslaved J-4nd socialism is but a milder form of communism. All elements of a nation must be free or none will be free.

SheV Peru, their catch frozen before the joog ttys £ckMij THE DEARTH OF ENGINEERS The past two wars conclusively establish that although the soldier 1 and sailor risk their lives, victory is as much a product of the fac tory, mill and mine as of the actual fighting on the fiehr of battle. The engineer then is not only a contributor to peacetime produc tion; he is of even more importance in time of war. It is estimated that there is at present a shortage of about 60,000 engineers, and that the number will increase. The term, engineer, does not include labora tory workers In the scientific fields, that is, biologists, chemists and physicists, the last so significant in atomic fission. Several causes are given for the shortage, the principal one being that during the indiscriminate draft of World War 11, too many boys were taken out of college. The ac celerated courses, which same schools employed, made it possible to distribute degrees, if not learn ing. but it did not help the young men who aspired to engineering and science. While it is possible to skim through a course in government, from Aristotle to Karl Marx, it is not possible to take the work hi the fields of engineering or science in one’s stride. The result is the present shortage. One estimate puts it that indus try requires about 30.000 engineers each year for replacement and growth; in 1952, there will be 25,- 000 new graduates In this course; in 1954, perhaps as few as 12,000. Obviously, these figures show that the • shortage will increase. Should we face a large* draft, the number of young men who will have an opportunity to stu<Jy engineering will be fewer. This is one of those vexed prob lems for which there can be no easy answer. Many parents and of ficials feel that a draft can be fair only if all are called on a basis of equality. They contend that what is involved t is a young man's life and that the smart boy should He required to make the same, sacri fices as the dull boy. 1 ~ without adequate equipment and that is a problem of engineering! Napoleon said that an army moves on its stomach, but today It moves in airplanes, tanks, jeeps and sub marines, requiring * the services of engineers. It also engages in chem ical and biological warfare and manufactures atom bombs; The en gineer and the scientist therefore keep the Army, Navy and Air Force in supply. Not all men are equal in their fitness for service in the engi neering and scientific fields. A mother once said to me that while her son was no good at trigonome try, he had a fine character, and that therefore the smart boy should have lio advantage over her son in , a democratic country. , The boy without mathematics cannot possibly perform certain es sential tasks without which we npt only can but surely will be 'de feated. It takes a special type of personality to work for hours and days in a laboratory to find a for mula. The extrovert Is not likely to have the patience for such la bor er even to accept preliminary disciplines for the development of the coldly logical mind essential, for any engineering or scientific work. Intellectual capacity does appear at very early years. It ls passible tb give high school students ab£- their milks fail at such is pote&l£ to know that, too. « , The problem then la^to boys are equaTta? the'eyes 6# the draft, or in Universal Mlttetiw Training.

WASHINGTON. rile House Commerce Committee, now investi : gating .Harry McDonald, might dig into a more important matter by investigating its own chairman Congressman Robert Crosser, Ohio , Democrat, who has been grinding a 1 political ax against McDonald, a Re publican. This is one backstage rea son McDonald's confirmation has been held up as new boss of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Inside story is that Congressman Crosser tried to bring pressure on the Securities and Exchange Com mission under McDonald cm behalf of financier Cyrus Eaten, who has been In trouble with the Sec. Eaton and Congressman Crosser both come from Cleveland. The SEC is investigating Eaton for promoting a lawsuit against auto manufacturer Henry falser as a trumped-up excuse to back out of a multimillion-dollar contract. The courts have already awarded Kaiser $3,000,000 in damages, and the Na tional Association t of Securities deal ers has suspended Eaton for two years for unethical conduct. Despite tips, Crosser Las repeat edly telephoned SEC. commissioners in oty attempt to Influence them in Union's favor When the SEC con * ,|inudti io rule against Baton. Cross -1 fPlumea YJlnFsMfs^reßEaftit 01 Eaton ought to be investigated by a congressional committee and shortly thereafter tlie probe started. CARRIES OUT THREAT Though-the probe Was undertaken by Crosser’s Interstate Commerce Committee of which he is chairman, he has kept in the background and assigned the investigation to a sub committee headed by Congressman Louis Heller of New York. When President Truman appoint ed McDonald to head the RFC, the Senate Banking Committee aSked for Heller’s files in order to study McDonald's record. But to the Sen ate’s amazement, Heller flatly re fused. The real reason was that the files contained nothing against Mc- Donald. Meanwhile, Crosser got busy be hind the scenes, arranged for $25,000 to step up the SEC investigation, Open telephoned South Carolina’s Chairman Burnet Maybank of the Senate Hanking Committee, explain ing that the Heller subcommittee was going ahead with its investiga tion and that Maybank ought to wait for the final results. This did the trick. Maybank summoned his Senate Banking Committee behind closed doors, grumbled that President Tru man had appointed McDonald with out consulting bis committe, and recommended holding up the confir mation.

Dr. Karl Gebhardt, who was hanged for performing the ex periments, testified that he- had dis cussed his wolk with Dr. Screiber, also that Screiber had received re ports on the experiments through official channels. Nuremberg Docu ment No. 619 also shows that Screib er was secoiid on a list of promin ent German medical officers who were detached to the SS for two days, May 16-18, 1944, to attend a meeting at the SS hospital In Ho henlychen.

Anybody want a ! rising young actor in 1992?” I have known this man cahtor for more than forty years. I re member standing one wintry night at the comer of Clark and Ran dolph, in that same Chicago, with three ambitious young performers —Eddie, a blackface minstrel, and a piano-player. We were all opti mistic. I don’t know about myrolf, but Cantor made it; and the otner ■ two were A1 Jolson and Irving Ber lin, who was plugging his number, a slow starter titled “Aleicander’s |. Ragtime Band.” Cantor Was in Vaudeville then as the "straight-man” Ibr a com edian, the foil for a fellow whose big climax was dropping an arm ful of crockery dishes. We had five big-time two-a-day theatres then and the town was hot. It was a legit show producer as well as a rUn stand for the best traveling troupes. The aristocrats Os the stage were ' “$2 shows’’—and no amusement tax; Ziegfeld’s "Follies” sold the best seats at that price. The big all-male minstrel companies charged $1.50 top, with names like Lew Dockstader, “Honey Boy” Evans, Eddie Leohard and Bert Williams. Jolson wasn’t yfet billed.
