It is good to note that among the measures congress did not pass before adjournment is the bill providing for socalled loyalty checks on government workers. It stays on the hook until the 1948 session, by which time its inherent dangers may become obvious even to the backers cf this ill-considered legislation. The sponsors had good motives, but their methods were bad. A letter to The Times from Representative Helen Gaha-, gan Douglas of California points out that the bill presents three great evils: "1". It sets aside the traditional procedures of Anglo-Am
erican law under which men are nresmnpd to be innocent one of those phony, flag-wavers.

When the customer wheeled her baby to the store in a squeaky buggy, he remedied that with his oil can while he helped her plan her day's menu. He always took time to hunt a tap or screw for the tricycle that needed it. He was never too busy or tired to carry the customer's groveries to the parked car. He never stopped working. It seemed he never sat down and seldom walked. . Always he went at his work in a run. He
never spared himself the hardest
jobs; he seemed to hunt them. Yet he asked no rewards, no recognitions. In fact he was a
shv and humble person who
sought no praise.
His loyalty to his family, friends, employer, and customers are well known. His devotion to
his job, his complete trustworthi
ness are almost unique in this modren world in which most men ask for the job that pays the
most for the giving of the least.
