LEONARD LYONS OH, TEACHER By Wayne Campbell V. K.S Peg. 18 Saturday, Jan. IB, 195S SS Slightly Out of Focus Unemployment estimates running to a possible '5 mi! lion by swing occasions melancholy comparisons in some, "quarters. A few pessimists moodily note that 5 million persons out of work would represent half as much joblessness as there was in the days of the soup kitchens.

But such recollections are hazy in detail. Unemployment actually was estimated at 12 to 15 millions in the worst of the depression, although 10 millions was the accepted figure immediately prior to the outbreak of World War II. A consideration more important is the much larger present work force. Back in the depression days Henry Wallace was considered a visionaiy when he spoke of ari economy employing 60 millions. Now the work force totals more than 65 millions.

With that number of employables a temporary idle "float" of about 3 millions switching from one job to another is considered normal. There shouldn't be much alarm if 5 millions were temporarily idle in a work force of 65 millions. And indications are that unemployment will be only temporary. lt. FitW Eottcpr.io.

Chess may be a game for but it's the young fellows who excel at it. the new" United States champion' a 14 year old Brooklyn schoolboy named Bobby Bobby is the youngest person ever to win the national title, and no other country has ever had a champion.

that young. Most of the outstanding players, of the past were impressive while they were still in short pants, but didn't win any really big championships until they were older. The new champ replaces Samuel Reshevsky, who bad been winning American championships so regularly that he seemed to have a permanent lease on the title. Sammy is a former child prodigy himself. Coming here' from his native Poland as a small boy, he toured the country giving simultaneous exhibitions against scores of adults in various cities.

Grown up, he became perennial national champion and an international grand master, who finished third in a tournament held to select a new world champion after the death of Alexander Alekhine a decade ago. Now he is pushing 50, and tournament chess is a young man's game. Surprisingly, it takes a lot of physical stamina. Young' Fischer, who deposed Reshevsky, has' been playing in tournaments for several years. Last year he won the U.

Doug's excuse, for letting 400 acres Of this virgin Douglas fir get out of the taxpayers' hands was an old mining law and the excuse that the' Al Sarena was going to mine gold. Various people, including this writer. Congressman Charles Porter of Democrat, and Sen. Diet Neuberger of Oregon, claimed the excuse was phony and that no ore would ever be mined.

The other day Senator Neuberg er reeieved an interesting letter from the United' States forest service. It stated that no mining activity of any extent has occurred on the Al Sarena acreage since 3935. Earlier, at senate' hearing a forest ranger' testified under oath that he had observed no mining in 13 years he had: served in the Rogue river national forest. This 'writer also exhibited pictures, of the' Al Sarenn' mining shacks 'showing were falling apart. and that; no human hand had their cobwebs or rusty hinges years.

Nevertheless, Secretary. McKay handed over this rich domain' to a private company after, his subordinates had ruled against him. also after his cabinet colleague Secretary Agriculture Benson had recommended against him, but after his Republican friend from Congressman. Ellsworth, had repeatedly badgered him. As or today, here arc the payoffs: Pay off No.

I am 19 years old and attend the College of San Mateo, In the midst of my research, a speech on, "Why 13 year olds should be allowed lo vote," some very interesting thoughts occurred to me. I pay taxes: sales tax, excise tax, income tax, and if I should inherit any money or properly, there would be inheritance, and property tax. Now of course there is nothing wrong with paying taxes, provided by doing so. I am' being properly represented by the state as well as national It's quite obvious, to me, as it must be to you, that I am being not properly represented at all. Therefore I see only two alternatives: one that I do not pay taxes, or two that I do become properly represented (tax stion without representation).
