To remedy this situation, Sen. John
Tower (R.-Tex.) presented a bill to Con
gress which clearly states management’s
right to close down a business. The Sena
tor states the case simply: “Just as a
worker has a right to quit his job, so the
most fundamental right of an -employer is
that he is free to quit.”
There is no doubt that the NLRB has
gone far afield of the original intent of
Congress by assuming policy-making func
tions and invoking life-imd-death preroga
tives over business. Concerned also over
the NLRB decisions which have permitted
secondary boycotting and encourage black
mail picketing, Sen. Tower has filed a sec
ond bill to “divest the board of its judicial
function, and transfer unfair-labor-practice
cases to federal district courts.”
It seems that in fairness to all parties
concerned, this remedial legislation should

Horatio Algor Story
Comes To End in S. C.
Fifty or sixty yean ago, popular author
Horatio Alger flooded the country with his
books. There must have been a hundred
or so different ones. But they all told the
same story, but in various settings.
Alger was an inspirational writer, and
his stories dealt with the poor, but honest,
ambitious boy who made good.
Million* of his books were sold, and, of
course, were read by many millions of peo
ple—including practically every boy in the
land.
And, we suspect. Senator Oiin D. Johns
ton of South Carolina, who died Sunday,
was one of them.

Studying law, he was elected to the leg
islature, twice went to the Governor’s of
fice, and served the past twenty years in
the United States Senate.
He was a friend of the downtrodden,
the poor, the worker—the big shots could
take care of themselves.

Babcon’s Point of View
On Harvesting The
Ocean’s Riches
By ROGEB W. BABSON
Babson Park. Mass.. April 23—The population
of the earth is expanding at such a pace that it
may not be too long before the land resources
alone will not be able to provide man with suf
ficient food and industrial commodities. Hence
the mounting scientific interest In the endless
supplies of nearly all basic human and Indus
trial requirements that are there far the taking
in the 193 million square miles of water covering
three-quarters of the earth’s surface.
RESEARCH FINDINGS
HIGHLY PROMISING
Oceanopraphic research is coming up with
new and fascinating possibilities every day,
probing all the way from the continental shelves
stretching out from the land masses to the
ocean’s deep abysses. The bathyscaphe is a
vessel that can explore as far as 36,000 feet be
low the surface; sonar, oil, and geological drill
ers, compUcatedly equipped divers, and other
ingenious devices are investigating the riches
of the ocean depths. While a cubic mile of sea
water contains some $83 million worth of gold,
millions of tons of magnesium, sodium, and
sulfur, and vast quantities of cobalt, nickel, sil
ver, and other valuable elements, the big prob
lem is still bow to extract these treasures profi
tably—or at least economically.
The solution may come eventually. Mean
while, attention is being focused on the vast
storehouse of minerals on the ocean floor of the
continental shelves. There is as yet no public
or private U. S. program for exploring the
shelves in search of valuable lodes of metals
and minerals, despite the fact that ocean-bottom
oil and gas supplies have been successfully ob
tained for a long while. It is encouraging to
note, however, that last June an international
convention agreed to each country’s having ex
clusive jurisdiction over and access to the re
sources of its own continental shelves.

Spruce
The Old French name for Prussia was “Pruce,”
whch was derived from the German name “Preussen.”
“Pruce” passed intact into English, but, over a pe
riod of a couple of centuries, acquired an “S,” changing
the spelling to “Spruce.”
The word also was used to denote a product of Prus
sia. For instance, “Spruce fir” meant Prussian fir, and
“Spruce leather,’” Prussian leather.
Because Spruce leather was used to make neat,
smart-looking jackets, the word “spruce” came to de
note fashionable attire in general.
The word now is used to denote a neat or trim ap
pearance.

Tax-Raising Spree
Tax reductions, accomplished and pend
ing, are given a vast amount of publicity.
That isn’t true of tax increases.
As an example, increases in the social
security tax will, for large numbers of
taxpayers, wholly or largely offset any
federal reductions. And that is not all.
Store is what U. S. News A World Report
has to say: “State legislatures are headed
for a tax-raising spree like nothing ever
seen before if they foBow their Governors.
All across the country. Governors are call
ing for increases in sales taxes, income tax
es, cigarettes taxes, many others.” More
money, it seems, is wanted for just about
everything — highways, education, health
programs, welfare plana, and so on.
The much-needed federal tax reduc
tions are designed to spur consumer spend
ing, business investment and generally to
pour new financial horsepower into the
economy. But it is certainly obvious that
tax programs which put dollars Into one
pocket, while taking as many or more dot-
tem from another pocket, can hardly prove
helpful.
