The payroll expansion results from two factors: 1. An enlargement of the GATCi plant which will nearly double production pacity, 2.

The insurance company argued that the Korean actioai was a war; A million-doll- j j high-plac- Americans got their The speakeasy of convenient compromise operates in a manner of speaking. Mr. Alexander Bootleg betterments in wage hikes and Improved working conditions get through for reasons that are peculiar to the mores of the country. Not to stretch the analogy too far, it appears that the Verwoerd Government nd private employers have such a fcrosoeritv in being, and need its con- imuance so much, that they strive to an tielpate grievances. They shove good things across the table before Labor begins to pound the table for more. Back m 1922, Prime Minister Jan Smutsj it vas explained to me, "had to shoot it out with the miners" who went on a forbidden strike. Considerable caution is exerted to insure tijat it doesn't happen again! There, were serious work stoppages n 1946 and '47, but without major violence. The Industrial Conciliation Act, as amended in 1956, forbids trade unions to have any affiliation with political parties and candidates." Theoretically, at least, Labor stays out of politics and concentrates on internal improvements by a sort of ambassadorial relationship with the Government and booze. . .' top-secr- J - industry. The latest figures show. 91 unions for whites, 35 for Colored Cmulatto), 58 for other racially mixed peoples, a total of ! This is a large enough number, apread through virtually jail the trades, to make trouble. But docility or (as the Government"' insists) satisfaction is the rule.

The Government is sedulously recruiting tjrhite immigrants from Britain and West Europe. Blacks from neighboring African colonies and republics pour in for relatively high pay, eight-hoJobs. But, here again, the Government is quietly moving to protect its own people. A plan is in the works to seal off the 2000 mile? of border between South Africa and her African t neighbors. Benevolent paternalism may not be n the; democratic ideal, but it flows by gravitation downhill from the . uplands of political power to the! inhabitants of the economic lowlands..

The prevention of Accident Committee last year organized 4702 ambulance teams, a jump from 408 teams over the previous year. Mine officials and the Mining Unions Joint Committee are negotiating over pensions, which are already very generous. The Unions will probably come out with most of what they want. Bantu wprkers have no unions, but the Bantu. Administration meets with small and somewhat grievance committees to nip any serious difficulties in the bud. I have visited a private enterprise gold mine at Doornfontein, going underground about 400 feet into a maze of tunnels where Negro workers and white supervisors blast the ore loose from the rock formation and bring it to the surface by mechanical carrier. The work is not very strenuous, mainly because there are many hands to perform it. The blasting is done in on fuses after the shifts have been cleared. Bantu workers come from their tribal homelands on contracts that run for either six' or nine months. In the intervals the tribesmen go back to their farms with jingling pockets to rejoin their harems Of wives who, meanwhile, keep things going at home. The Bantu miners live in a compound with all expenses paid, free meals, free native beer in reasonable quantities, athletic fields for soccer and bowling greens. They make their own beds, mostly as a concession to privacy, but other housekeeping chores are performed for, them while they are in the shafts. In his annual report for 1962, the President of the Chamber of Mines made this statement, which illustrates the prudent effort of industry and Government to spread contentment and head off embarrassing demands: "Following the introduction, of changes to the Liquor Law, permitting the sale of liquor to Natives, mines have applied for permission to sell liquor to their; Native employees. This has been done with the object of making available to Native labourers, in surroundings familiar to them, the privi-legarising from the new legislation. Kaffir, beer, the Natives own traditional drink, which will continue to be issued as part of their free rations, will also be available for sale."

The Democratic Party that was lampooned many years ago as a donley no longer exists. It may not be any wider than it used to be, but it is more numerous; actually the majority party in the United States. More properly, if should, be known as the. Democratic parties, because there are two of them North and South. Some cartoonist should make a picture of that. A beast, maybe. The Republican elephant ) is outmoded.

New Names Needed There should be a return to the colorful political phraseology of 40 years ago. The words liberal and conservative ; as applied to politicians have just about lost all meaning.
