Mitchell Questions Wisdom
or Right To Work Laws
By PAUL HARVEY
The stock market has frequently
been a poor barometer of the busi-
ness weather. The public has come
to attach undue significance to
temporary stock market trends.
The stock market is delicately
balanced — ready to respond in-
stantly to the emotional whims of
seven and a half million investors.
WASHINGTON (—Secretary of
Labor Mitchell says he doubts the
wisdom of state "right to work"
laws. But he says he won't ask
Congress to deny the' states the
power to enact them.

WASHINGTON W-A top busi-
ness organization leader says the
Senate rackets disclosures may
lead to "corrective legislation"
against labor such as followed
certain industry "sins" in the
1930s.
John S. Coleman, president of
the U.S. Chamber of Commerce,
said "I am asking labor — as a
friend—if it believes it can escape
from a similar fate unless it
sweeps its own house?"
Coleman said in remarks pre-
pared for the Chamber's National
Labor Relations Conference the
general public seldom under-
stands some of industry’s regular
complaints against unions for sec-
ondary boycotts and union "mo-
nopoly" tendencies.
“But today, there is a differ-
ence.” he said. "Everyone under-
stands the' testimony which is now
unfolding before the Senate com-
mittee (Investigating racketeering
practices*.
"Much as I regret that innocent
representatives of labor should be
tarred with the brush of the
guilty, It is only a matter of fact
that everyone understands the
language of pinball racketeering,
call-h ouse arrangements and
dickers between public officials
Mrs. E. D. Criddle, Normal
Avenue, who sustained six broken
ribs in a fall and, who has been
under treatment in a Dallas hos-
pital since, writes that she ex-
pects to go to the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Bennett Wooley, 4235
Bordeaux, Dallas, in a few days.”
The broken ribs are still a source
of considerable pain.
“No, I don't get to Denton as
frequently as I did a. few years
ago,” said Homer Lamb of the
Krum community. "The cattle
have kept me pretty busy, espe-
cially before we got some good
pasture in the count. And, too, a
big part of the going I do is to
visit the Stock Exchange neigh-
borhood in Fort Worth."
Like The Emperor’s Clothes
“Whence comes all the supposed clamor that "the
Federal government spend more money?" That ques-
tion is asked by the Wall Street Journal.
The obvious answer, constantly made by many men
in government, is that the people are demanding ever-
bigger spending and that their wishes must be obeyed.
But the Journal points out that, according to official
reports, mail received at the White House, the Treas-
ury, and by Congressmen has been heavily weighted
with expressions of alarm at the high spending, and
with pleas for economy. Businessmen, housewives,
and farmers are among the letter-writers.
So the Journal concludes: “We wonder what would
happen if some shrewd politician were to ask, Where
is all this large public clamor for bigger spending?
We suspect he would find that, like the Emperors
clothes, it was never there at all.”

Who "Minds The
Store’ When Ike
Out Of Country?
WASHINGTON um - Dwight D.
Eisenhower took the presidency
right along with him when he
sailed out of the country this
week. _____ __________
With Eisenhower, Vice Presi-
dent Nixon and Secretary of State
Dulles all out of the country, the
question arose: Who was left in
charge?'
The answer: Nobody.
With Eisenhower headed for
Bermuda by way of tropical wa-
ters. Nixon is touring Africa and
Dulles is not yet back from a
Southeast Asia meeting in Aus-
tralia.
There is a line of succession
starting with the vice president
to cover the case of a president
who dies in office.
But there is no such thing un-
der the Constitution as an acting
president, comparable to a lieu-
tenant governor who takes over
when his chief leaves the state.
Nobody took over officially even
when Eisenhower was out of ac-
tion for a time when he suffered
his heart attack in 1955.
Some scholars believe the fram-
ers of the Constitution intended
the vice president to move in
temporarily when a chief execu-
tive is incapacitated. But there is
a question whether the vice presi-
dent could constitutionally gives
the office back if he did assume
it. Another question is just how
to determine that a president is
incapacitated. Congress is now
studying proposals to cover that
ground.

a president who is only out of

Sherman Adames, chief presiden-

Sherman Adams, chief presiden-

Nixon's job of presiding over
the Senate has been taken over
by senators. They frequently do
so even when he is in the capital.

Denton County Easter Seal Appeal
Easter seal will reach more than 10,000 persons
in Denton County. When you receive your packet of
seals, we suggest that you give generously.
Seventy-seven per cent of the gross proceeds from
the Easter Seal drive in behalf of crippled children
and adults will remain in Denton County. Only 23 per
cent will go to the Texas society.
The Denton County quota is 11,400, and we are con-
fident our citizens will meet that goal. These funds
are urgently needed to pay for the care and treatment
of hundreds of thousands of cripplod children and
adults.
The money raised in the once-a-year campaign not
only gives direct aid to many permanently- dis-
abled children, but it provides for the education of
professional workers, parents, volunteers and em*
ployers, leading to realistic solutions of the problems.
These funds also pay for research into causes, pre-
vention and treatment of crippled conditions.
Last year 144,630 crippled persons in the United
States were aided by the Easter Seal Societies. Of
these, 119,547 were children.
The drive will continue through Thursday. You
should be getting your letter containing Easter Seals
within the next three days. Don't throw it away.
Open the letter, open your heart and open your purse.
A Busy Youth Is Seldom
A Juvenile Delinquent
The teenager of today is no worse than the teenager
of yesterday. But his parents may be.
The apparent increase of criminal activities among
our younger generation, here in the greater Denton
area as well as over the nation, has brought forth a
wave of righteous indignation and a well-publicized do-
sire by many do-gooders to help solve the problem.
Everybody wants to do something for our young-
sters. Our observation has been that we might be
doing too much for our young people. “Okay," they
say. “So I am a delinquent. Do something for me."
The point we are trying to make is: let youth do
something for itself. We may be coddling our, young
people too much.
William G. Long, a noted juvenile court judge of
the Superior Court in Seattle, Wash., has observed
“Most young people today get into tangles with the
law because they have nothing else to do."
Well, let’s give them something to do. But we don’t
need to coddle them. Judge Long says he has seen
many youngsters whose lives have been salvaged
plain, old-fashioned work.
The judge believes we should do away with our an-
tiquated child labor laws, which make it difficult, if
not impossible, for the average youngster under 18 to
take a useful job even when finds one. These laws
generally force all adolescents into idleness, partic-
ularly those who are not doing so well in school and
are eager to get out into the world and start making
their way.
Child labor laws that protect the health and welfare
of the child are well and good. But necessary protec-
tive measures do not need to be unreasonably restric-
tive—so restrictive that they drive youngsters into idle-
ness, mischief and eventually crime.
Work never hurt anyone—at least not like idleness
does. Through work, rather than play alone, our
youth of today can avoid the physical and moral flab-
iness which comes from idleness. Through work they
can toughen their spiritual muscles sufficiently to car-
ry the responsibilities of adult citizenship and help our
nation produce the things that conquer poverty here
at home and protect our heritage against enemies
from abroad.

said the Eisenhower administra-
tion will not request repeal of a
section of the Taft-Hartley Act
that authorises the states to pass
"right to work" laws.
Seventeen states already have
such laws, which ban compulsory
union membership. Indiana will
become the 18th when a measure
passed by its Legislature becomes
law sometime late this summer-
or early fall.
Mitchell told the businessmen-
delegates he "never quarreled"
with the right of the states to
enact such laws, but that "what
I have done is to question the
wisdom, of the states in so doing.”

So, as we wy in the Ozarks,
"Let's shuck right down to the
cob": America’s factories and bus-
inesaes last year poured forth a
record 412 billion'dollars worth of
everything.
Americans in 1958 produced
more—earned more-epent more—
and (this is important to contin-
ued prosperity) we saved more
than ever. . .over before. In 1958
we took in 825 billion. We put out
266 billion. We saved 21 billion
where the year before we had
saved only 17 billion. That's the
cushion.
