Air Force officials are afraid they are out on an expansion limb which may be cut off. The last Congress provided money for a 70-group Air Force, but only for an initial period. If the new Congress con vening in January fails to designate 70 groups and provide funds, USAF may be caught in the middle. In addition, USAF needs legislation to provide for half a dozen research and other installations to make the 70-group force an effective deterrent to war.. Getting the bills doesn't worry the Air Force command. Getting the money ap propriated to carry out their provisions does. KOCH CASE ? Senator Homer Fer guson's committee probably will never air the controversy over Ilse Koch's prison sentence. As the "Witch of Buch ?enwald" she was'given a life term. The Army later cut this to four years and this stirred up a furor. Incensed over elementary shown the woman, who was charged with many ?unspeakable sadistic crimes, the commit tee considered some action. Now, it is understood, the group is quietly trying to have her life sentence restored. Senate observers; in fact, say that the committee was reluctant to hold hearings because they might embarrass Gen. Lucius D. Clay, United States military governor in Germany. Meanwhile, Frau Koch is scheduled for retrial before a German penal court. ^BARGAINING BOGS DOWN?Court and NLRB decisions have vastly expand ed the old Wagner Act's requirement that employers bargain with unions about a*wages, hours, and working conditions." A host of important payroll matters, whirh?proi ri ausly were segarded as the exclusive prerogative of management, now must be discussed with labor?even though the boss doesn't have to make concessions on them. Most recent decision was the Supreme Court's ruling that employers must bar gain about merit pay boosts if the union requests it. In addition, an appeal is now pending before the high tribunal of a circuit court decision that pension and retirement funds are proper subjects for collective bargaining. DIPLOMATIC INFLATION ?

Tod^y is Thanksgiving. Many years ago our forefathers set a side one day each year, usually just after i all crops had been harvested in the fall,; to pause from their labors and regular routine to give thanks to God for the many blessings which they had received during the year. The day to them was a day full of meaning. They were truly thankful for the blessings they had re ceived. | Today we wonder if many people have forgotten the real meaning of Thanks giving Day and look on the occasion as jusV another holiday for fun and frolic. If they do, they are missing the real blessings that come with such an occa sion. We all have much for which to be thankful, and if we are so ungrateful as not to take time on this Day to thank God for our many blessings, then we do not; deserve them. Just to live in America, the land of freedom and peace, is enough to cause every one to bow in humble thanksgiv ing. But by living in America we enjoy so many more of the good things of life | than those in many countries of the world today. Although the world has much un rest and men are at each others throats in many lands, we are not actively en gaged in war, another great blessing for which we should be thankful. Here in Jackson county we have had wonderful crops. Although there was a polio scare last summer, few of our chil dren fell victims. We have had no epi demics to strike down our people, no storms, or floods to take lives or destroy property. Yes, we have been wonderfully blessed. We should give thanks to God from the bottom of our hearts. Now that is has been demonstrated that hot dogs can be cooked by radar why not put those huge cyclotrons to some useful purpose ? for instance, frying hamburgers? Two red hots, please?one with chili sauce and the other with radio active horseradish! , Japs now make whisky of onions. Guar anteed, no doubt, to produce a double barrelled breath. bassadors in Washington. Others had! ministers. The difference is important. An ambossador represents the chief of | state and can call on the president. . A minister only represents his government. | He is entitled to see the secretary of state. I In addition, ambassadors get more money. Their salaries range from $18,-' 000 to $25,000 a year compared with $12, 000 for ministers. Since the war, the United States has envoy representatiion in many . small countries, including all Latin-America and Pakistan. Politically, it adds to Amer ican prestige abroad, but it has also raised the prot6col bill. AT-OM WAR PLANTS SCBAPPEDb? After all the arguments and surveys, it has developed that plans and not atomic war plants will be buried. Blueprints for placing American- war industry underground to forstall de vasting results in the event of atomic attack have been scrapped. Defense officials have been giving con siderable study to subterranean plants in Germany, Japan, Italy, Czechoslovakia and elsewhere. Their conclusion is: "Not economically feasible." Most of their planning now seems to be centered about the dispersal of in dustry to minimize the damage of a bombing raid. By HAL THE EDITOR'S CORNER" V * m' 1 \' o Iv TIh? Everyday CounioHor Bv RfcV. HERBERT SPAUGH. D. O A smile usually "pays* off'| w 11. In Har: isburg, Pennsyl-< vania, on November 10th smiles paid off in silver dollars. Accord ing to the Associated Press, .the >rrisburg Optimist Club on that day sent its members throughout .1 city with $1,000 worth of cer i ;cates for the best smilers. Na turally, you would expect a club vith the name "Optimist" to do -at. Th: word optimist means ne who looks for the best. The Harrisburg Smile Day stunt was to extend from 7 a. m., but long before the deadline, silver dollar certifi cates were ex hausted. There were more smil ers this year than last yciar when the Optimist Club tried the same stunt. "Last year we had to work 'ntil 10 p. m. to get rid of $750," ie Club President said. "It was almost unbelievable," declared a bus driver. I usually have a bus full of sour pusses in fhe morning, but today I saw noth ing but rows of teeth." All of this proves ihat it doesn't tnke too much effort to smile. Thousands of people in Harris- j burg smiled in the hope of re- j :eiving a dollar as a reward. ? But smiles produce far greater; dividends than a dollar. There's nothing like a smile ? to win your way with other peo- ( ale. You singly can't .pick a quarrel with a smiling man. Hev lisarms you at the outset. I re call two recent personal examples. I was in a traffic jam and almost bumped fenders with another driv. er. I nodded at him and smiled. He smiled back, waved his hand, nd went on. My wife, who was with me, asked, "Who was th t man who spoke to you and smil ed?" I replied that I didn't know him, had never seen him belore. The other incident occurred in Philadelphia recently, when I in advertently drove in to a narrow one-way street from* the wrong end. I met another car coming from the right direction. I smiled at him, nodded. He smiled in re turn, backed up to allow me to pass, and both of us went along in a good humor. There's an old proverb in the Bible. "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a brok en spirit drieth the bones." A smiling man or woman has a way of getting along through life so much easier than the grouch. Re cently we had an unprecedented example of a smiling little man, who even smiled when everything seemed to be against him. He is States. He is called "The Smiling President." Why not try it? When you and the Lord are in partnership, and He is in the driver's seat, you cer tainly have everything to smile about.
