( laimant attorneys are credited with stymying busi-
ness efforts to whittle down fees permitted in injury
cases. Texas fee schedules are the highest in the na-
tion — a $3,000 or more maximum in some cases.
This would mean that an injured workman who
goes to court to adjudicate his claim might end up with
a shamefully small share of what his employer has
paid for his benefits. This is one of the chief draw-
backs of the present law.
Texas employers, working through the Committee
of Employerg for Improvement of Workmen’s Com-
pensation, have tried diligently and sincerely this
year to secure effective legislative action. But the
House of Representatives on April 29 drastically
amended a bill embodying principles generally agree-
able to all sides. The net result is that benefits, in
some instances, are increased in a manner making
them disproportionately expensive to employers, yet
the root problems involved in pre sent laws are left
untouched.
Blame for the House rejection of business appeals
is placed on the general lack of interest shown by em-
ployers in contacting legislators. That is where you
can help now. - — s--e

For each of the past two years, a food chain associa-
tion has conducted a national competition among
10,000 super market managers and has singled out
the 12 who made the highest scores as "Good Citi-
lens.”
The purpose of the competition is to recognize and
encourage good citizenship and community leader-

cited by the Freedoms Foundation and other organiza-
tions for constructive achievement
This year’s winners represented a good cross-sec-
tion of the whole country—from California to New
York, and from eWst Virginia to Minnesota. The honor
they received is a high one, and they are deserving of
congratulations. But there is a deeper significance to
this than the well-merited recognition of a dozen fine
citizens. That signifance is that the chain stores—like
all other kinds of retailing—are an asset to the mod-
em community, and are vitally concerned with com-
munity progress and betterment.
This to not because chain store people are any
more civic-minded than the seat of us. It to because
the progress of the store depends upon the progress
of the town. If the town goes ahead the store will go
ahead. If the town goes backward, the store goes back-

The two most distinguished
Democratic leaders — former
President Truman and would-be
President Adlal Stevenson — at a
party get-together here over the
weekend cautioned Democrats
against slashing into Eisenhower’s
budget. ~r—-
But while they were blinking _
their amber light, the party’s t
leader in the House, Speaker Ray-
burn of Texas, was talking of cut-
ting the budget by billions.
This was an echo of what Ray-
burn’s opposite number and fel-
low Democrat Lyndon Johnson,
the Democrats’ Senate leader, has
already been saying.
Southern Democrats, in an ef-
fort to kill civil rights legislation

But the Democrats’ advisory

an anti-union shop amendment.

Publication today of testimony
by top Pentagon leaders before a
House Appropriations subcommit-
tee revealed that committee
questioning stirred the Air Force
and Navy into renewed argument
about the vulnerability of carrier
task forces.
Charles Thomas, until recently
secretary of the Navy, and Adm.
Arleigh Burke, chief of naval op-
erations. testified that a carrier
force would be difficult to locate
in the open sea. Even if it were
located, they said, the missile and
countermlsaile defenses of the
force would give it a high degree
of protection from attacking
planes.
The testimony, was given in
Jantary, and February — some

the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
