Not that I want to live 100 years.

My reaction is purely unselfish. Again I'm thinking of my son, who, before many more years pass, will have to consider the now gruesome business of choosing a career. Gruesome In the sense that unless he happens to be a professional man he will run smack into a series of roadblocks which, unless lie has unusual fortitude, will reduce him to a sheep almost overnight. Ordinarily an average man with ambition and talent could carve out quite a nkhe for himself within a reasonably short space of time. Then came the dawn of the Utopian complex in the upper echelon of the great fraternity known as labor.

The word "dawn" makes me laugh, now that I look back at the last sentence. At our present rate of progress in God bless this civ ilized world your young man and mine will need most of his hundred years to really master any unionized business. There Just won't be enough hours for him to command in his own behalf. At the very moment he is on the verge of making a forward step some other sheep will nudge his questing shoulder and say: ''Look bud, your time is up, it says here." I don't care if you and you call this an anti-labor attitude on my part at all. I don't care because of what my conscience and common sense tell me.

And a man can't run out on such splendid companions, such true and tried friends and still wear pants. He belongs back in a nursery if he does. My opponents in this discussion will say "How absurd; there's nothing to slop a young fellow from pursuing his trade for as many hours per week as his heart desires." They'll argue that maybe his work week is only 30 hours or 33 hours or All he has to do is let the boss exercise his contractual privilege of paying ambitious Joe time and a half. Simple, isn't it? I wonder how many successful men today got that way at time and a half. Or did they sweat for their rewards although heaven knows the successful man under our wonderful concept of life isn't getting a fair return on his investment.

He, does only a little better than the sheep. Nowadays it is possible for a man to spend 10 or 15 years In a business without learning anything simply because he hasn't got the time. He has to go home when the bell rings. And, honestly, wouldn't the boss be a darned fool if he encouraged him to stay except in emergencies at time and a half? You see the splendid results in all the trades, the reflex action to the wonderful contentment, the beautiful security, the lack of worry the sure conviction on the part of Joe that lie is married to his job. You see it many times when you buy something that never quite works right.

Just some little ng that causes you to look at it and say: "What's the use of kicking? The replacement probably will be worse." Why? Do you suppose It is because the well-paid guy who set it up hasn't time to really learn his job? Or am I merely being unfair to labor? Then maybe after a while Joe decides he's in the wrong business. What happens? Does he go out and scratch some other type of gravel? Not on your tintype. He sits down snd quickly reaches the conclusion that guaranteed security everything. What Is ambition but sucker stuff a pretty, reactionary word. Good, bad or indifferent, he's in, isn't he maybe for life.

I'm not against labor unions. I am merely against their lack of realism, the things they do to discourage the great Amerirar. dream of conquest by an individual. Their unfaltering determination to make the mediocre share and share equally with the brilliant and honestly ambitious even If it threatens the future of the business involved. A little security is a wonderful thing upon which to It gives a man a comfortable feeling.

But his Incentive to remain an individual evaporates and he becomes a second-rate craftsman when he finds there is a rule for everything, a governor on his dreams. And no urge to increase his own security personally. Sometimes in reaching for Utopia a man dies a little. He sells his soul for a few gains today at the expense of tomorrow. I want my son to learn his chosen business the hard way and reap the reward, but honestly I don't know how to tell him to go about it.

Commander Augusto Vars Or-rego, head of the base, said on several occasions during the bright Antarctic night he and his men saw flying saucers one above the other turning at tremendous speeds.

However, it was pointed out that self incrimination may also be "induced by exceptional kindness and psychological influence." It is believed that the defense will charge that the psychiatrist who interviewed Leyra before his confession soothed him by rubbing his temples and eyelids, and that the accused man may have fallen into a hypnotic trance as the result of these relaxing attentions. As far as could be established, no other defendant charged with a major crime in this State has ever offered the defense of having been hypnotized into making a confession. Attorneys Leo Healy and Frederick Scholem were assigned by the court to defend Leyra after the defendant had taken a pauper's oath that he had no funds with which to retain counsel. Assistant.
