Head of Highway Safety
Division
H. D. (Tarvia) Jones, head of
the Department of Motor Ve
hicles’ Highway Saftey Diviaioa
was assistant director of the
North Carolina Truck Roadeo, to
be held in the Greensboro Me
morial Stadium July S7 and 38.
The annual truck driver’s outlay
attracted driven from all corners
of the state. Entrants wore re
quired to have a one-year acci
dent free record to compote in
the Roadeo. State winners in
each of the three vehicle classifi
cation* — straighgt truck, single
axle tractor and tandem tractor
—will go to Chicago for further
competition on the national level.
Jones will automatically succeed
Edward W. Ruggles next year as
director of the Roadeo.
MADDEN POINTS OUT
PROFITS HAVE RISEN
FASTER THAN WAGES
Rep. Ray Madden (D.) of Gary,
Ind., points out prices must be
controlled before wages can be
stabilized,
“Ninety per cent of the wage
problem today is brought about
because of high living costs and
ineffective price control,” Madden
told the House June 27. "It is j
unrealistic to talk about trying 1
to stabilize wages at a time when
our over-all economy is not sta- j
bilized and prices and profits co?i- j
tinue to soar ...
“The vicious circle has been ]
expanding since 1944. In 19441
industry and business considered
their annual profit* satisfactory,
but during the last seven years
profits have increased 97 per cent
and wages increased, on the aver
age, only 26 per cent.”
HOUSE PATS PROFITEERS
ON THE BACK
The profiteer got a pat on the
back when the House toted June
29 to prohibit price rollbacks. j
“You may recall that last De
cember the President asked the
businessmen of this country to
voluntarily restrain from price
increases so as to make manda
tory controls unnecessary,” Rep.
Clinton McKinnon (D.t Calif.)
said in the House June 29.
“You know what happened . . .
A lot of good American business
men did hold the line . . . Unfor
tunately ... a number of Amer
ican businessmen . . . took ad
vantage of the situation. ...
“Now ... we say in effect that
the irresponsible and unpatriotic
businessmen are to be rewarded.
. . . We . . . pin about a billion
dollar prise on the guilty and un
deserving. We are legalising un
necessary—in many cases—price
increases. ...”

RALEIGH.
Tobacco fyr«i Head For Canada.
The migration of tobacco carers
to Canada, chiefly the Province of
Ontario, has started as usual each
season from North Carolina. Us
ually around 1.200 experienced
curers from this State go to Can
ada to handle the curing for
Canadian growers. Many of these
Canadian growers, incidentally,
are North Carolina natives who
migrated to Canada in years past
and started tobacco growing in
their adopted areas.
Compiling Job Descriptions
Job descriptions of four of the
ten different job classifications re
quested by National office of
USES have been completed, one
each by the four occupational an
alysts in the State office. The
four jobs for which descriptions
have been written were for
switchboard operator, in the
Southern Bell office in |Uleifh;
sheet metal worker, at Bakers A
$79™’ Wfifh; packer, at Tay
ler Food Co., Raleigh, and sched
uled for today, cylinder pressman,
at Capital Printing Co., Raleigh.
Six others art to be handled.
Each analyst writes a descrip
tion of the job, the descriptions
are sent to Washington and these
are compared with the job de
scriptions now in use, the object
being to seek complete accuracy
in the descriptions to be used.
Workers For Tobacco Harvest
Numbers of local offices are
busy supplying workers for to
bacco growers in their areas as
the tobacco curing process ap
proaches a peak in the Border
and Eastern growing areas. Most
of these green tobacco workers
are secured by personal recruiting
activities, including opening local
offices at 5:30 in the mornings to
direct workers to the growers.
Newspaper articles and radio an
nouncements supplement the re
cruiting efforts.
Extra Help For Claims Taking
A mill in the Sanford area
closed down for the week July
23-28 and special arrangement
were made for taking the claims
of the workers, since several hun
dred workers were involved. L.
Garland Scott, manager, made ar
rangements for taking the claimsj
July 30, and two or three inter
viewers from office in the area1
will assist in the elaims-taking,
Henry E. Shepherd, area super
visor, reports.

70*s Items For Orphanage
The campaign for items needed
for the children at the Methodist
Orphanage here, conducted for
two or three weeks by W. Thom
as Arthur, has now ended, al
though Tommie reports that he is
still receiving and delivering
items. Approximately 700 items,
all of which could be put to good
use, were contributed by Caswell
building workers and have been
delivered. A “thank you” letter
has been received, with assurances
that the items needed by the chil
dren would be distributed among
them. Tommie also says “thank
you” to all who contributed items
and thus helped make the canvass
a success.

LEHMAN. BENTON
THINK CONTROL BILL
VIRTUALLY NO GOOD
Two Democratic Senators think
the Senate's price control bill is
about like having no coatTol law.
Herbert Lehman (N. Y.) and
Bill Benton (Conn.) considered
the measure passed by th Senate
on June 29 so bad that they didn’t
want to vote for it.
When the Senate forced Leh
man and Benton to take a stand
on the bill, they announced they
would “reluctantly” vote for the
measure.
“I cannot see how we as Mem
bers of the Senate can in good
conscience wash our hands of the
obligation to provide for the gen
eral welfare in the matter of
controls by the passage of this
bill which does not truly control
inflation but merely legalises it,”
said Lehman.
Benton considers the bill "so
weak that under it those in au
thority lack the power to de the
great job of stabilising the econ
omy which we must seek to do in
this time of crisis.”
I FEE CENT BOOST IN
COST OF LIVING ADDS
$2 BILLION TO PRICES
Inflation is a billion-dollar busi
ness — with billion-dollar profits
for the profiteers, and billion-dol
lar losses for the American peo
ple.
“Every 1 per cent increase in
the cost of living adds $2 billion
to the consumers’ bill for goods
and services,” Economic Stabili
ser Eric Johnston wrote to a
Wheeling, W. Va., businessman
June 19.
The businessman, President W.
F. Kennedy, had criticised John
ston for trying to control infla
tion,
“Already inflation has cost the
American people some $21 billion
since January a year ago,” John
ston continued.
“That $21 billion is an appall
ing sum, especially when we con
sider that the consumer got no
benefits. Instead he got it in
I the neck.
“It’s more than all farm fam
ilies received in income in the
peak year of 1947. It’s more than
all of us spent for housing or
much as all profits after taxes
clothing last year. It’s almost as
from all businesses in I960.”
