Piqued by Pickets

NEW YORK. Apr. 1-3 ou will pardon the expression, I got a bellyful of pickets. AIL kinds

of pickets. ‘Pro pickets and con pickets, good i pickets and bad pickets. Pickets give me rickets

We have come to the point now where the picket is a skilled rabble rouser, an inciter to riot, a shouter of ‘dirty epi totally unconnected

cause he espouses. 3 x irked Over Noise and Clutter

THERE WAS A time in my memory when the sight of a picket-line automatically sponsored a sympathy for the -picketer. I don’t think that's 80 any more. There has been sormuch picketing —80 much '¢ Al’ and unjust, as well as righteous and warranted strolling up and down— that my personal reaction is merely annoyance at the noise they make and’ the clutter they cause. A good example of what I mean was a raucous war dance in front of a sports-goods store called Modell's here in New York. The pickets’ gigns said they had been locked out. A

‘sign on the store's window said the scrap was

purely a jurisdictional dispute in the union, 3 I wouldn't ‘know, Didn’t ask. on purpose, All I know was that the pickets were leaping and screaming like Comanches, and fouling up the

Cost-Plus

WASHINGTON, Apr. 1—My favorite building contractor believes $5,412,000 is a little steep for remodeling the White House. She knows. She reJiggered her own white-painted house and it didn't cost that muchs First quality plumbing throughout, too. } I'm talking, of course, about Hilda Othman (related to me by marriage, as it happens), who became a contractor in spite of herself. She got out her pencil, Mr. President, and she calculated that even with peach-colored tile in the bath, lik hers, she could do the job for less. . What brought this mittee on Public Works

executive mansion.

That's Still Only a Guess

THE lawgivers discovered that $5.412,000 is Just a guess on the price of making the White House a fit place to live. According to the engi-

___—peers, the only part of the house that's worth

sions expenses would ‘amount to about $30,000 without pounding in a nail. And $50)000: siready

has been spent on a survey of the White House!”

to see what needs to be done. z My contractor claims this is ridiculous. She said, Mr. Truman, that she first considered hiring a contractor, herself. But he offered to charge whatever the job cost him, plus 20 per cent for overhead, 13 per cent for profit, and 12 per cent for insurance, stepladders and incidentals. This is known as cost-plus. .

Just Cut Out That Cost-Plus

PARTICULARLY the plus, she added. Cut it out, like she did, and $5 million would buy a jot of de luxe bathrooms. About 4800 of ‘em and all fancier even than hers, she figured. I told her, Mr. President; that this was absurd. She said it just goes to show what you can do
