Os twenty-one veterans who completed trade or business courses at the school, eleven are earning a monthly wage in excess of $l4O a month. Disabled veterans with cardiac conditions, stomach disorders, her nias and blindness have been able to resume responsible positions with former or new employers. As an example one World War II vet eran unable to walk because of a wound received in the Normandy campaign landings, apparently doomed to a life of dependence is realizing a neat profit from a ra dio repair shop he is operating after completing a training course in radio repair at the vocational school.

Submarine (Relaxing a wartime blackout of news aboard submarines, the Navy invited reporters to a “fighting’’ cruise aboard the USS Scabbardfish outside the Golden Gate. The United Press was rep resented by Frank Bartholomew, His story follows). By FRANK BARTHOLOMEW United Press Staff Correspondent Aboard U. S. Submarine Scab bardfish. 45 miles off California coast.—(U.R)—lf you'd like to know what goes on board a submarine pointing downward toward the bot tom of the ocean, picture a vigor ous young captain, his executive and 10 officers and crewmen, as well as the three correspondents, crowded into a space eight by 21 feet. A good deal of this space is taken up by instruments and two peris copes. There is standing room only, shoulders touching. The hatch above Is slammed shut and secured. Through a hatch in the deck at your feet you can see the diving officer below—Lt. (J.G.) J. B. Hall of Metropolis, 111. The conning tower is pressurized. Your ears ache for a moment. "We are now T diving.” the Com manding officer, Comdr. P. G. Molteni, of Johnson City, Tenn., tells you. An automatic timing clock is started. In two minutes you are 80 feet down in the inky black, cold waters of the Pacific. Michigan Mirror by gene alleman Charles M. Ziegler, state high way commissioner, believes in do ing things differently; well, at least, not according to the tradi t.onal Lansing pattern. He keeps a vigilant eye on de tails and dollars, believing that both contribute materially to ef ficiency of the state highway de partment. For example: Whereas his Dem ocratic predecessors built up the state highway dept, as a strong centralized agency with a large staff of employees, virtually state wide in scope and hence of major political value at election time, Ziegler has proceeded deliberately to reduce the department person nel by farming out state highway maintenance to 61 of the 83 coun v highway commissions.

Convenient Terms May Be Arranged WYANDOTTE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1946 “We are now going to 100 feet,” says Molteni, who looks like Clark Gable with modified ears. Then, down the hatch at his feet: "What’s your trim look / like, Jim?” Voice from below: "We are light aft” "Okay, let me know' as soon as you get your trim.” Then Molteni explains: "The diving officer has to cal culate all the changing weights on the submarine, Including extra passengers and supplies taken aboard. We are sensitive to changes as small as a thousand pounds. Not a great deal of weight in relation to our 1800 ton displacement.” From below: "We are in trim and under complete control.” The captain: Okay, take her down to 100 feet.” The sleek ship glides silently downward. Every navy man watch es his dials and controls. The news papermen watch the face* of the submariners. The next order Is "Up peris cope!” You are invited to have a look. You see the smooth swells of the Pacific rolling toward you in the afternoon sun. You see our escort ship —USS Seagull which will also be our target. We stalk the escort vessel for a half hour. You understand how the Scabbardfish was able to sink a Os course, perhaps unfortunately for his Democratic predecessors, these same county highway com missions are largely Republican in politics. Ziegler has many friends in the county organizations, whereas Murray D. Van Wagoner, for example, did not have. • • • And another thing to illustrate our point. The state civil service commis sion, under its constitutional act, possesses legislative as well as exec utive powers. It lays down the law for state departments, subject only to possible Supreme court review. For many months Ziegler has been contesting the right of the civil service department, as repre sented by the commission and its director, Thomas J. Wilson, to have the final “say-so” on six-month salary increases which the average state employee is eligible to re ceive, PROVIDING his services are found to be “satisfactory.” Now many state officials might shrug a shoulder and promptly pass the buck to the civil service office with an excuse, “The people gave the civil service commission the power to act on salaries. So the matter is out of my hands.” • • • But not Ziegler. No, sirree! In this respect, the state high way commissioner is a bit old fashioned at this state capital where more and more spending has been the rule, rather than the con trary, and where payrolls keep climbing in numbers and amount, administration in and out, regard less of the party in power. A dollar is a dollar to Ziegler even in 1946. He rolls up his sleeves, wades into voluminous reports by the hours, and if he thinks he can save a few dollars and do so con scientiously, he proceeds to do it without delay. This zeal for economy and effi ciency probably accounts for the Ziegler disposition to load him self with details, whereas other administrators are inclined to del egate details to their subordinates and to spend much of their time meeting the voters.
