EMPLOYMENT OFFICE HEAD AT PHILADELPHIA SESSIONS Mrs. Gertrude B. Erb, manager of the Hanover Employment office, is attending a three-day conference on "The Problem of Making a Living While Growing This conference is sponsored and presented jointly by the Temple University School of Business and Public Administration and the Bureau of Employment Security of the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry.

The speakers include Ewan Clague, special assistant to the Secretary of Labor of the United States; David M. Walker, secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, and Dr. Robert L. Johnson, president of Temple University. The conference is being held at the Broad wood Hotel, Philadelphia, Pa.

No Plan At All (From Philadelphia Inquirer) George M. Leader, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, has based his appeal for votes mainly on his pledge to abolish the State sales tax. How he would manage to do this without a miracle or some alternate tax, has been one of the best- kept secrets of the State campaign. The reason for this secrecy has now' been made plain. Mr.

Leader doesn't know how he replace the sales tax. He has no financial plan for the State of Pennsylvania. He even sure what the financial picture is: he is going to call in some experts to tell him about it later on, in case he is elected. Mr. Leader wants the people of Pennsylvania simply to take him on faith.

Once they make him Governor, they'll discover soon enough what it will cost them in new taxes. We have said before that the Democratic candidate has been perpetrating a hoax upon the voters. His speech in Philadelphia on Tuesday supplies confirmation. This is what he said: me say first that as Governor, and the Democratic Party in the Legislature, will refuse to reimpose the general sales tax. It will die on August 31, 1955.

if vou elect me. we will not pass a flat income tax or wage tax for the State. we will not welsh upon the pledged obligations to our schools, our public health program or our program to fight stream pollution. in view of what I have just said, you have the right to ask w'hat are we going to use for Obviously. So what is his answer? answer is that we must provide the State with the revenues it needs and we will raise such how? That is what Mr.

Leader has been asked repeatedly and that is what he still fails to state. He sav where the needed revenues will be coming from. He only says that they will have to be raised. What he calls a program consists of the following measures: He will, after he is elected, an advisory group of skilled accountants and tax and with them he will determine the state of Pennsylvania's finances. In other words, another survey.

The truth of the matter appears to be that Mr. Leader know what taxes may have to be imposed to meet expenses, that he has no tax plan for the State and never had one. His statements on finances have been a combination of vague promises, omissions and dodging of the facts. They are born of political expediency and the hunt for votes, and they hardly enhance his qualifications for the high office of Governor of Pennsylvania. PUBLIC LIBRARY NOTES (By Lillian L.

First Quarter, Nov. 3. (From Boston Herald) Secretary of State latest flying trip to Paris will bring his total logged time on diplomatic journeys to 170,000 miles in 21 months, a record which even the peripatetic Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt might envy. Admitting that the Dulles diplomacy has been paying off lately, people are again asking if he come to roost.

the Secretary spare himself by operating from his desk in Washington? he send somebody else on the jobs where leg work is necessary? The answer is that he could but he want to. The Secretary likes to do things for himself. He likes face-to-face diplomacy. And it obviously works for him. In this day of fast air travel the Secretary can go half way round the world and back in less time than it took his pre-Civil War predecessors to get to New York and back.

Traveling is no hardship for Mr. Dulles and it has even been hinted that it is easier for him to get his work done flying several thousand feet over the Atlantic than it would be in the hubbub of the new State Department building in Washington. There are, of course, several schools of thought on the value of personalized diplomacy. Sir Winston well-known desire for across-the-table discussions with the new masters of the Kremlin has been effectively squelched by his cabinet colleagues. And Washingtonians are still shaken by the Truman proposal to post Chief Justice Vinson to Moscow as a pre-election eye- catcher in 1948.

But Mr. shoulder-rubbing has not been with the Reds. Indeed he was widely criticized for his virtual boycott of the Geneva conference. which the Communists dominated. His personal touch has been reserved for our allies, whose friendship, ironically, the crats claim he has been alienating.

If Mr. winged diplomacy has been bad for the country, then the Korean peace, the SEA TO pact, the Caracas declaration, and the most recent London agreement are strange results altogether, if the country is wise it will encourage the Secretory to take to the air as often as he thinks necessary. Now (From the New York Times) There is a pleasant sense of romance and a decided fitness in seeing Anthony Eden become a Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. Winston Churchill, his illustrious compeer in the same Order, was for so long the of our century that it took months to get used to calling him "Sir will come easier Both men, as the statutes of the Order require, are English of the and only because thev had no titles. The Scots and Irish have their own similar Orders the Thistle and St.

Patrick. There is an aura of romantic chivalry about all of them, but most of all about the Garter, which has come down in unbroken line from feudal times. In those days a subject served his Sovereign by deeds of military glory on the battlefield. Nowadays the service is usually rendered in the embattled halls of diplomacy and parliament. On those fields Sir Anthonv Eden has served his Queen well, as he did her father and grandfather.

The diplomatic triumphs of recent months have been so impressive that they won the acclaim of the world and brought honor to England. The accolade was fully merited, and Sir mariv friends in the United States will rejoice with him. The school visits which always coincide w-ith the birthday (43 this year) bad to be postponed this week because the sidewalk in front was not finished. They will be here next week.

He said that it will not be for at least two months and that consumers will be notified when they are to be billed at metered rates. Masemer, in his September report, again stressed the need for the continued conservation of water even though, through the voluntary7 efforts of consumers, a daily saving of 225,500 gallons had been achieved over the daily average for September, 1953. The daily average then 2.294,767 gallons while last month's daily average was 2,069,267 gallons. Water consumption in September, 1953, was 68,843,000 gallons, and in September, 1954, was 62,078,000 gallons, a saving of 6,765,000 gallons during the 30-day period.
