Telephone No. ED We Can Be Calm We're a remarkable people. The first time that something new or startling strikes the American scene, our reaction is almost juvenile and our enthusiasm or interest borders on the hysterical For the, last several days, atomic explosions of one type or another, probably a bomb or similar weapon, have been occurring at the secret test base in Nevada. When the first one let go, the population nearby was excited, not to mention a little fearful. After all, they had read and heard about the terrible effects of A-bombs and the mysterious after effects from radiation.

They also knew, as do the atom scientists, that no one is quite certain what insidious side sults might have terrifying effects later. But by the time the second blast took place, even though it shattered windows in a wide area and jolted the dice on the the gaming citizens tables at Las Vegas, thereabouts and elsewhere in the nation were taking the matter in stride. The third blast was a and was touched off at the eerie hour calculated to cause some degree of fright. So what pened? No one even bothered to be curious. The all-night gambling games went on, the bering citizens continued to slumber and the early risers merely commented it made quite a light in the sky.

The fourth caused some excitement but not much. That might be taken as evithat you can get used to anything. Actually it probably means that Americans can become blase. over any incident that takes place twice or three times. The implications of those tests, of course, can't be told they certainly are reassuring to those who might be fearful of our defenses.

Of greater long tance than those tests, perhaps, was the report of the atomic energy commission issued while the tests were under way but which had nothing to do with the blasts. The AEC informed the nation that ities all atomic going production facil-1 were at top speed, that progress has been in research in fields other made, those of war and that we are closer to the answers on atomic benefits in medical and power fields and that some day the atomic age will mean everyfore could visualize it only as thing to a people that heretothe dawn of destruction. Whose Future? This past week, President Truman made an informal address in which he remarked with pseudo-regret that the only thing wrong with his job WAS that there was future in it." Mr. Truman, of course, was having a little fun among friends. His observation was facetious and referred to the fact that after the presidency, no man could hope for more.

However, it would seem that the president didn't mean quite what he said, in fun or otherwise. -Any president has a future, a niche in American and history which coming generations will recognize or not, depending on how well he has done his job. That fact alone indicate that the president's appears to is of even greater importance to him and to his country than his ambitions for the present. Also, no president' can divorce his future from that of his country. He is sworn to serve his office to the best of his ability in the cause of general welfare of his people and the safeguarding of his nation.

If the president rises to the situation and meets the challenge with inspiration, then he go down in history as a "good" president. If he goes heyond expectations in his cities for doing that, he is likely to be known as a "great" president. That, we think, should be enough "future" for anybody.

house conference or labor and is management leaders. Lewis and his mine workers, they With the exception of John La pledged strikes and no lockouts for the, duration. They could not promise no disputes. How then could their disputes be settled? Mr. Roosevelt created a the WLB to handle them.

It had public, labor and management representatives. Since big labor disputes are was trying to keep over wages, and the government wages in line, WLB had to control wages. Hundreds of thousands of queries, disputes and complaints had to be handled during the war: Workers wanted more pay and employers agreed to give it. Okay with WLB? or employers refused to give it. What then? The one WLB couldn't handle at all that.

It up smaller WLB's around thee country, called regional boards, to solve as many local complaints as possible. When a local board failed, WLB had to step in. Now the present WSB will have to set up a squad of junior WSB's around the country. The very core of WSB's job in controlling wages is to control them as fairly and smoothly as it can, to keep down disputes, while the same time trying to keep wages in line with controlled prices. One thing which the old WLB did was to set up a general formula intended to be generally fair in controlling wages.

The WSB is trying to work out a formula of its own. WLB came up with the "Little Steel" formula, but not suddenly or easily. It reached it after months of pecking away at the wage problem. The formula was reached in July, 1942, as a decision on the wage demands by workers in the smaller steel companies. Between that time and Jan.

1941, living costs had risen 15 per cent. So, roughly, WLB said: Any workers who hadn't received a 15 per cent increase in wages since Jan. 1, 1941, were entitled to that much. The formula held up pretty well. The present WSB is wrestling with the problem of a formula which will fit present conditions.
