ARKANSAS DAILIES New York Chicago Detroit Oklahoma City CHECK OUR EMPLOYES BUT NOT KNIFE THEM POLITICALLY By James Thrasher Smack on top of Rep. J.

Parnell indictment on a payroll-padding charge comes a similar accusation against Rep. Alvin E. of Wisconsin, who, like Mr. Thomas, is a Republican. League for Political Education has charged Mr.

with buying a weekly newspaper in his home state, then using his congressional payroll to help pay lor the paper and also to compensate the former owner for running it. We know, of course, whether the charges against either congressman are true. Nor do we know how far this whole business may go. But if political charge and countercharge are to be in order, the accompanying publicity and, perhaps, aroused public opinion may endanger the livelihood of several hundred people. For nepotism is an ancient and accepted practice of Congress.

Our legislators support even more relatives than Hollywood movie executives, though not on so lavish a scale. And they support them with government funds by appointing them as clerks, secretaries, executive assistants, and so on. This is not only common practice but, we should imagine usually legitimate. A member of Congress has to have assistants. And there seems to be no reason why, if they are willing and able, a wife or son should not serve as secretary, or why a competent stenographer should be ruled out just because she happens to be the daughter of the Cousin Minnie.

But it is also possible that some of these family retainers might be dogging it on the job. Say a congressman appoints one of his kinfolks to represent his interests back home. The kinsman might spend his time looking out for his private interests or shooting pool. It would be hard for the colleages to check up on this. In fact, they might not even want to.

Now, if the accusations stir up a nest of publicity, some such check may be demanded. And if cases like the hypothetical one above should be found, in which a person is receiving government salary for little or no government work, then a long-avoided and delicate question would have to be answered. The question is this Is it any worse for a congressman to divert public money directly to his own pocket than to do so indirectly by letting public money support someone who would otherwise be his own responsibility? That is a hard one to answer, for there are probably a lot of border line cases. Any investigation of the subject would be difficult and perhaps inconclusive. Maybe it should be tackled anyway.

But care would have to be taken that the investigators were aiming at honesty and economy, and not availing themselves of a handy political weapon. A Polish bride kissed 308 wedding guests. Oh, well, past onion season in Poland. IN AUTUMN, FRUITS We do not seek to gather fruits in spring Before the petals drop from fertile blooms And fruits have formed where now those petals (A season intervenes ere fruiting comes). Nor do we doubt there will be fruits in time When first we see the branches stark and bare.

Our faith presumes that when the interim Of growing ceases, fruit shall be hanging there. Believing this, we rush our nascent dreams To premature completion and we rail Against a fate which shrivels formed If seasons will not rush, can man prevail? Spring is the season planned for growing: In autumn, fruits: of and knowing. P. Sala A clothier says the college man no longer is a style arbiter.

WA5HIN0TQN COiUMW Holiday Rush Stresses Plight Of Uncle Sam's Post Offices peter emon annual Early for warnings have extra meaning this year. The )am in the Poet OOce for the next few months, reaching a peak in the holidays, is going to he the worst In history Uk year's Otrirtmas rush was shout a third heavier thsu any before. This rush Is expected to be 25 to 30 per cent heavier than that.

It comee on top of six months in which the volume mail handled each month has been greater than last year's ma business, Which set an all-time record. Two things In particular have happened to throw this extra burden to the packs of Uncle Sam's mailmen. first Is that Railway Express agency, having upped its rates three in the last 1ft months, has now practically priced itself out of business. Postal oActals say that it now costs about 15 times much to ship by express as by parcel post. From 90 to 95 per cent of the business that Railway Express has lost has gone to the Post Offlica.

Second point is that the volume of all other classes of mail been up stingily. In the last IS years, the increase has been over par cent. POWAL facilities have been given no comparable increase to take of this business. There has been virtually no expansion since lift. Today the Department could use about 300 more buildings for roctoflkea, annexes and increased terminal facilities.

Rsilwsy Mail wince hds fewer poet office ears than it had at the beginning of the This is due to wearing out of old equipment and lack of steel for the railroads to build new. Freight cars are now being used. What all thie adds up to Is that the U. S. Post Office Department Stand? to lose over $550,000,000 in the year ending next June 30.

Tills is Just a beginning. The railroads, to which the Interstate Commission last February gave a temporary 25 per cent for carrying the mail, has now asked for a permanent 65 I raiaa. And foreign and domestic airlines have asked Civil Aeronautics Authority for a 110 per cent Increase in their pay for i the mail. it Jan 1 there will be slight increases in postage rates on all and second class mail letters, newspapers sitd will go from live cents an ounce back to six cents. Soecial will go from II cents to 15 cents.

And so on ------increases are expected to bring in to the government $110,000,000 a year, but only about a fifth of what's needed to Risks up the deficits. QKLY two classes of poital service now pay thetr own way One is lottar wall, the other la Interest on postal savings.

Bradley takes leaf from Navy in training 18-year-olds; Senator Lodge urges care In picking new army officers. Washington By a queer quirk of fate, Henry Wallace, when Secretary of Agriculture, fired a group of liberal employees because some of them were supposedly too left- wing.

But though in the group, Wallace did not fire Alger Hiss, now charged by Whittaker Chambers with giving out secret State Department documents to a Communist agent. Hiss was assistant counsel for Agricultural Adjustment Administration, and had written an opinion that triple-A benefit payments for curtailing the cotton crop should go to sharecroppers as well as to landlords. This caused a lot of criticism in the South. Other clashes of opinion occured between triple-A lawyers and top Agricultural Department executives regarding the milk-marketing code and the meat-packing code. Some of the young AAA attorneys and consumer representatives were vigorous in opposing bcth Wallace and Chester Davis, then AAA-administrator In the end.

Wallace sided with the big Southern cotton men and fued most of the rebels. Among those purged were Gardner Jackson, so hated by the Communists that he was beaten up in New York bv a Communist agent. also Fred Howe, a Woodrow Wilson Democrat; and Frank Shea, who later occupied a position of importance in the Justice Department But Hiss was not purged, even though he wrote the opinion. However, he was subjected to such criticism bv his associates for remaining on the Job that his old friend, Felix Frankfurter, now Supreme Court Justice, then professor at the Harvard Law School, telephoned Gardner Jackson asking that the critics lay off. Hiss had been a protege of Frankfurter's and had been recommended by him for a job in Washington.

Today's Outlook Bv DEWITT MACKENZIE AP Foreign Affairs Analyst OPPRESSED PEOPLES MAY RISE SOME DAY TO END RED DOMINATION There lie before me on my desk two news items which come from widely separated places and have no immediate connection but which, by an association of ideas, combine to convey f. striking message.

Mrs. Roosevelt, who was a pioneer in framing the declaration, told a press conference that it cannot be kept from the peoples of the world despite state control of information.

Mrs Roosevelt said the declaration will give strength to the man-in-the-street.

Besides, I can cut you out of my will now and you needn't go around asking about my health and wondering how much longer 1 am going to Donna had put that money into government bonds. Her parents had never had any financial worries about Donna. They had never had any worries sbout her at all. Donna was no lource of uneasiness to her parents ar to her friends.

During the week that followed her first assumption of New York residence, there were three days of extremely inclement weather, with rains and gales of near-hurricane proportions. What a blessing that Donna had a quiet room in a nice place right there In town! Jean Collwell devoutly thanked God that her daughter had fallen heir to such priceless privilege. Her removal, over a period of weeks, was so gradual as to be virtually unnoticeable. A suitcase of clothing now and then, and a hatbox, a clock, a vase, a few books and pictures. Donna still lived at home.

Always she returned for week ends and frequently on extra nights during the week, especially when Mark Banister was at home on leave or others of her especial friends were furloughed from wartime obligations. Reasonable and desirable, from every point of view. On one day when Donna had an afternoon off from her work she Invited her mother for luncheon and a matinee, and they were giving their orders she remarked offhandedly, we do not dawdle too much over our food we will have time to catch a bus uptown to give you a look at the boardinghouse before the matinee."
