They have officers devote their full time to the organization KTsd who crow old in the service and white ar offkv trc.rkcrs who keep the headquarters one of the leading unions. International submitted to a vote of the membership a proposal to increase salaries Jjroviae pensions for long-time service officers.

President of ITU, Woodruff Randolph, published a statement in the union's journal. "Are be asked, "doing for our employes as we are asking our employers to do for us? If the members vote favorably on this amendment, we Site. If members vote against the amendment, we are not" First Vice President of ITU, Larry Taylor, made a statement to the effect that if the amendment is defeated, "negotiationg committees might as well forget their ambitions to induce employers to recognize their responsibility to provide some measure of security for long-time employes who are 'too old to work and too young to die." We will have advertised to the world that the members of ITU do not believe the cost of pensions is a proper charge against the cost of doing business." The members defeated the pension proposal by more than two to one and rejected the salary increase for officers. The Chicago printers had been through a 22-month strike and many blame the ITU president for the long and costly work stoppage. The Chicago local turned down both proposals, and the local in Indianapolis, home town of ITU headquarters, rejected the pensions amendment- When the members voted on these proposals, they probably were expressing, not their attitude toward -the principle of pensions, but resentment toward the management of their own organization.

Phog Allen Raises A Point St. Louis Phog's shooting his mouth off again." Such is the elegant reaction of the journeymen members of the college football coaching profession to the latest blast by Kansas University's Phog Allen about the sizable salaries secretly paid to famous amateur athletes. The more dignified master-members of the University Executives chancellors, provosts and just plain silent about such scandalous talk of five-figure salaries for backs who can fill a stadium. Privately, however, some of them are worried; and worried about the very point raised by Allen. His point is that these athletic salaries are not being reported to the Collector of Internal Revenue.

And with knowledge of the play-for-pay system becoming more widespread, it is risky to expect officials always to refrain from looking through the veil of ivy. Perhaps that is why the president of one Big Ten university fearfully told some of his colleagues: "This whole thing is going to blow up in our faces one of these days." Probably there are not so very many football players in the five-figure bracket. Considering their drawing power and the competition for their services, it's amazing how cheaply most of them do work. But, according to Mr. Allen, there are plenty of boys even in the junior colleges of his state who get $60 to $100 a month.

And that's more than the 5600 a year with which income tax liability begins. There is no compelling reason why college football players should not be paid as other performers are paid. But if they are paid, they should be paid frankly and openly. In a sport that is supposed to be character-building, there ought to be no fiction of amateurism. After all, there is nothing in the moral codes which makes athletics for fun more commendable than athletics for pay.

But every moral code does condemn falsification, hypocrisy and the contamination of the young. One often hears complaints about the lack of integrity in politics and business. But what is to be expected if those charged with the training of the young lead them to believe that it is all right to profess one standard of values and to act according to the opposite? That's why Phog Allen can't be laughed off. The Upper Room If anyone attended the executives club dinner meeting last night expecting to witness an exchange of accusations and hot words, he was disappointed. Dr.

Nash, spokesman for an organization to spread the gospel of World Government, stuck to his subject and held the undivided attention of his audience. He did say that two organizations have passed resolutions denouncing United World Federalists. The communist party and the D.A.R. both took such action. The idea of a United Nations with sole power in international relations is too big for me to comprehend.

Dr. Nash says the United States of America with its federal constitution seemed a dubious venture at the beginning. Need of common defense pushed the colonies into union, and the ratifying votes in several states were very close. There were many doubters at the birth of the republic. The same need exists today and similar doubts.

The World Federalists lay great stress on the merit of federalism as a means of maintaining peaceful unity. In our federal system, we started with a group of states, all British colonies. There were only small still unmelted lumps of population. The English language, social and political traditions and background eased the way to union. There were various religious inclinations, and the Founding Fathers got around that obstacle by deciding for religious freedom, and no state church.

World Government, to which all nations will transfer their power in international that's the idea. Its advocates say we will take this or else. I don't expect to live long enough to see the thing become a reality. There could be no secession; once in, a country must stay in: try to break out and the World Government would apply coercion, an arrny made up of internationalist robot mercenaries with no national affiliation. So many astounding things have happened in recent years that one hesitates to say anything is impossible.

Maybe within a century or two, World Government will be a going concern. Nations have been obliterated before; it could happen again. M.

rust suits used to be titantic legal struggles that lasted for years. Now they've apparently become itantic propaganda struggles, at east if the current case against the A food store chain is -my indication. Both sides are screaming that heir litigation ain't cricket. But 'very day finds the word-war getting hotter, with more participants. Justice officials say that A started it by buying full page ads in 2000 newspapers throughout the country, to tell their side of the story.

A spokesman for the bod chain gives the company's reasons for the ads: "Our 30,000,000 customers vanted to know what was involved in the suit. So did the thousands of suppliers who do business with us, as well as our em- jloyes. We took out the ads to ell" them. It was the best way." To counter the effect of the ads on the pubic mind, Attorney General J. I a i rath and chief Department Justice truat- auster Herbert A.

Bersson hit he banquet trail. They began LO make public speeches denying Larsen what was said in the A ads, and supplying some opinions on the case which weren't included the original court brief. With the help, of the efficient public relations staff of the Department of Justice these speeches got wide play in the press and on the radio, A countered with another set of full-page ads 2000 papers. Then more speeches by Bergson and Mc- Irath.And more A ads. At his writing A has placed 'our sets of ads in 2000 Dapers.

Company spokesmen say that there will be more if there is need for further enlightening customers, suppliers and employes. And Bergson and Mc- Urath aren't planning to stop talking. Old Hand At It But those are just the activities of the main contestants. Rep. Wright Patman from Texas, the ong-time chain store hater, couldn't resist the chance to start sounding off.

For a couple of weeks he made speeches on the floor of the house almost every other day, castigating the A P. And, as is his privilege, he had close to 50,000 copies of each speech mailed out to newsmen and interested persons at government expense. Next voice to roar out in public against the A was an outfit called the National Federation of Independent Businessmen. It placed full-page ads in 500 papers around the country. George .7.

Burger, the vice president, savs the organization has 136,0 )0 small that it is the largest of its kind in the country. Burger says the decision to support the department of Justice was made by the board of trustees. According to Mr. Burger, his federation is just beginning to sound off. National radio' programs and more ads are in the mill.

His organization's interest, he is simply to see that the country's anti-trust laws are erly enforced. A P's supporters haven't become too vocal yet but thev will. American Trucking association and several state granges have announced that they are ready to get in the propaganda fight. And other big merchandis ing outfits are about ready to throw in with A P. They see it as a death fight for the right to mass purchasing and mass buying.

No Room for News At the rate this thing is developing, in a few months there won't be any newsprint or radio time left for anything but the A suit.

ing brief Dec. 9. It will probably be next spring before the case can come before a judge. attorneys will ask the court to handle the charges as a separate litigation, divorced from the former case against the company which resulted in a S175.000 fine. They say that the old case was settled once and for all and that new issues are involved in the present suit.

If they are successful in this appeal it will lengthen the time of the case considerably. Justice department attorneys are claiming that the present suit is part of the older suit because the has not stopped those illegal monopolistic practices for which the company was fined. They contend that it is part of the old case. If this argument holds, there should be a quicker decision. The contention in the current suit that should be broken up into seven separately owned units was not part of the former suit.

JORDAN, M.D. Lobar is the most common of the pneumon- caused by a germ called the pneumococcus. The disease is more likely to develop when the body has become weakened by disease, poor nutrition, or old age.

Germs can be breathed in large quanti-j ties from some- one else who is! harboring them. A typical casei lobar pneu- monia starts sud-j denly with a severe chill which may last for as long as half an 1 hour. Soon after Jordan the chill, the temperature begins to go up and it rises rapidly to around 104 or 105 degrees. At the same time a person corning down with pneumonia may have general aches and pains with headache. Pain in the chest or side like that which is present in pleurisy, is also common.

Cough which produces pain and does- not bring up much mucus starts early. The breathing becomes rapid and each breath is shallow. Typical Slgnt Develop Unless steps have been taken to treat the condition promptly, the typical signs develop by the second or third day. By this time cold sores around the lips jire likely to be present, the facial expresssion shows anxiety, the pain in the side or chest is severe and the breathing is rapid. Cough brings up a fair amount of sputum which is likely to bs tinged with blood.

The temperature stays high, at 104 or Now there is only one chance in 20 or 25 or dying from the disease instead of one chance in three, lyobar pneumonia has dropped from being one of the most important causes 1 death to being one of the least important of the major diseases. Of course, diagnosis must be made early and treatment started promptly, because the results treatment are never so good in the person who has been ill for several days.
