Gibson indicated today that he really meant business when he stated that a further study would be made of losses in wholesale liq uor transactions which occurred prior to his administration. The Governor said he would confer with Atty. Gen.

Clifton G. Parker shortly as to the advisability of appointing special counsel to investigate the matter. The special legislative committee which investigated the operations of the Liquor Control Board over six-year period reported to the Governor that the state lost money on wholesale sales in the fiscal years ending in 1944 through 1947. Losses in this period amounted to some $85,000. An audit of liquor board accounts performed by Peisch, Angell It of Norwich for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1946, called attention to such losses and recommended that they be Investigated.

However, such losses continued until Peter A. Bove of Rutland was named chairman of the control THE NEIGHBORS ft'T-sw tJ mniiiiN" As Addison County Court Opens New Term MIDDLEBURY.

The decision is to suspend any movement or wage rates unrelated to the level of output.

But it leaves the door wide open to nigher earnings through improved productivity and greater efn ciency." Attlee said he wanted labor and management to study the whole problem of incentives of how to induce people to work harder. Botn statements focussed atten tion again on the key problem of incentives in a Socialist state. Harder Work Necessary Britain cannot get out of the red without a great increase in industrial production. That entails, among other things, harder work by most workers. The Conservatives have said that Socialism kills off the will to work hard.

Their argument is that many. reel mere is no good reason to work hard when the state gives them a high degree of job security and does a lot of other things for tnem. The Big Question The big question is how to put the idea into operation. Attlee, pretty much tossed the job to the unions and manage ment. Sir Stafford Cripps, Chancellor of the Exchequer, has said openly that incentives are more of a prob lem for industry than for govern ment.

The Trades Union Council, re presenting 8,000,000 organized work ers, has been wrestling with the problem for many weeks and in a statement last week asked for "payment by results." But It did not make any more specific proposals. Typical Plan In a typical plan, operated by a heavy machinery plant at Tipton, Staffordshire, workers take ten per cent of the first 20,000 pounds profit made by the firm and 20 per cent of anything above it. Shareholders get straight five per cent on share capital. me treasury provides the In formation cheerfully. Nevertheless there is doubt whether Cripps, the treasury boss, is in full accord with Attlee and Morrison on the idea of payment by results.

Cripps several times has ex pressed opposition to wage Increase demands by "anybody at all." it Britain begins paying union members by results the nation will be adopting a Communist policy adopted in 1935. The Hero Stakhanov In 1935 the Russian miner Stak hanov mined 102 tons of coal in one shift 14 times as much as the Russian "norm" and became a hero overnight. Soon "Stakhano-vite" Russians were getting extra pay and extra privileges. The Russians embellished the idea by punishing laggards who fellbelow the average in production. Conservatives sometimes recall an old Crippsian warning.

By George Clark tual fighting in or around Bethlehem, visits by pilgrims became a precarious venture. As a direct result of the Pal estine conflict, thousands of Arab refugees flocked to the area. There are now 55,000 such refugees in the village and the surrounding hills. The normal population is 12,000. Have Two Hopes Left The people of Bethlehem have two hopes.

One is that Christians of the world, especially in America, will lend a helping hand. Nasser said food or money is needed. "But." he added, "we prefer work to char ity, ii we could nave lobs we would need no help." I he other hope is that the Holv Year proclaimed by Pope Pius XII starting Christmas Day will bring large numDcrs oi pilgrims to Bethlehem. Nasser said he hopes for 50.000 visitors between Christmas and taster. Religious leaders say possibly half that number may come.

Sen. Flanders Conlinucd from Page One Declaring that every proposal for improving society should pass through the fire of conservative criticism, he warned against the "emotional liberal" who votes for whatever is in a package. The sen ator defined such a liberal as one whose emotions are stirred when he reads a tag. "If the tag says 'pro-union' he votes for whatever is in the package, whether it actually helps members of unions or not. If the tag reads 'anti-rail again he is for It no matter what the effect on the price of goods for the people or their in vestment In life Insurance poll cies." The senator continued: "All this is pretty usual and pretty bad.

In the first place, it deals with comparatively unimportant a t-ters.

The senator deplored the 1 s-heartening experience of each one of ns in the two houses of Congress anxious to tut appropriations for everything except our own particular region, our own particular constituents and our particular Interests." He said, "We will have to move on a higher plane than In the past if we are to serve the Interests of those we represent."

Last year the hospital received a federal grant of $200,000 which was matched by $400,000 on a two to 1 basis. Of this latter amount more than $300,000 was raised in public donations and the remainder came from money previously in a building fund and from funds available from other sources. New Grant Assures Building Bids opened on Sept. 23 this year exceeded the money available at that time but with the new grant and other funds the financing ofl the project is now assured.

Britain Seems Borrowing Idea From U. S.f Russia Idea Is That Harder Laborer Works More Pay He Should Get LONDON. Dec. 6 Britain's Socialist government appears to be borrowing an idea from both the Russian Communists ana me American capitalists in its attempt to solve the economic crisis. The idea: That the harder a man works the more pay he should set: that the hard worker should make more than the laggard even if the two work side by side as members of the same trade union.

In Russia they call their hard workers "stakhanovites" and make heroes out of them. They get extra nav. In America management tries to push along and reward the work-: ers who really produce. The Socialist Idea In Britain Socialists generally have long argued that any two factory workers in the same job should get the same pay. In the past trade unions even have put dampers on members who plug too hard.

The subtle but significant change; first became apparent a couple of weeks ago when Deputy Prime Minister Herbert Morrison said hv speech: "The man or the team who do a better day's work than the next man or team should be entitled to correspondingly better earnings. "They should be looked up to as people who are helping to earn the nation's right to full employment and social and military security." A few days later. Prime Minister Attlee in approving the British Trade Union Council's deoisior to exercise "restraint" in claims for general wage increases said: "This is not a 'wage freeze' in the sense that no one can earn MARINE PAINT Best For All Purposes CIIIOTT'3 87 King St. Tel. 1308 Body ond Fender Repair Work Pointing-Polishing Three Experienced Men in Our Body Shop YANDOYV MOTOR GO.

Pilgrim Traffic Dwindle The pilgrim traffic that once supported the bigger share of the population had dwindled to almost nothing.
