. BEHIND THE SCENES
m WASHINGTON

notice. II the constructive con-
structive contribution of ex-sol-
diers to the state of the nation
after the last war is any criter-
ion. it may give q clew as to
what the veterans of this war
will be able to offer, and what
they'll be able to get.
This statement may be chal-
lenged, but when you add every
thing up, the principal contribu-
ton of the veterans of the last
war to lettering their country
has amounted to seeing that the
veterans of the last war are well
taken care Of.
Before you start throwing
things at that, stop and Think
The formation of veterans
party as a political organization
could never be realized bec;> Sc
an Army and Navy are made up
of men from both the major par
ties and the issues they have to
back are not of such transcend
ent Importance that they over
ride the platforms Of Republi-
cans or Democrats.
The vets of the last war could
not even unite in one big organ
ization to promote veterans af-
fairs. There is the Aemrican Le-
gion with a membership of
million, and the Veterans of For
eign Wars with a membership of
a quarter million, and several
minor outfits besides. But no one
big union. Furthermore, the
membership of all these organi-
cations takes in less than one
man out of three who wore the
uniform from 1917 to 1919.
NO POLITICS RULE
The Constitution of the Legion
provides that it shall be non-po-
litical, shall not be used for the
dissemination of partisan princi-
Piles, nor for the promotion of
the candidacy of any person
seeking public office. In spite
of that, numerous individuals
have tried to ride the coattails
of the veterans organizations for
public offices both great and
small.
Leonard Wood was a soldier
candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination in 1920,
but couldn't get enough dele
gates to win the C. o. p. nomi-
nation at Chicago, and Harding
was the result. Republican Han
ford MacNider of Iowa and DEM
ocrat Paul v. McNutt of Indiana
are both ex-national command
ers of the Legion who have look
ed longingly at the possibility of
becoming presidential candi-
dates.
In the ~ ,sent Congress there
are 1873 World War vets in the
House and Is in the Senate. That
has grown from nothing
in 1918. It has increased in ev-
cry Congress, and it will con-
tinue to increase.
But even in Congress the ex-
soldiers do not form a bloc of
any power or influence and do
not act together. Even on veter-
ans legislation, the non-vets are
apt to be found pitching just as
hard as the old soldiers to gain
whatever there is to be gained
rom catering to the ex-soldier
vote.

tons have done tremendous

Secretary of the Interior Ickes
yesterday refused to cancel a per-
NIT to the United Golf Association
for the use of the Anacostia Park
golf course by participants in a
national tournament for Negro golf
ers August 18 to 81.
The refusal was contained in a
letter addressed to Frank P. Ran
dolph, secretary of the Southeast
Council Of Citizens Associations
which last month asked that the
permit for the four-day event be re-
scinded and that the department
discourage the holding of large
meetings or sports contests in the
Capital parks for the duration OF
the war.
Mr.. Ickes, in refusing to act on
the associations protest, pointed out
that plans for all large gatherings
in the National Capital Park Sys-
tenn are subject to review and last
minute cancellation by the civilian
defense and military authorities
All permits, he said. are granted
with this understanding.
Permission to use the Anacostia
course for the tournament was
granted last August IA, the Secre-
tary said, after careful considera-

duration during which street lights,
with the exception of traffic signal
lights will be prohibited.
These blackouts may be unan-

Col. Barrett expressed the opinion
that better cooperation and bet

the shorter blackout period than
during an all-night test and the
shorter trial would work fewer hard

Grab Meat Pasteurized
To Make Shipping Easier
b the Associated Press.

b the Associated Press.
A method of packing crab meat
which its developers say will obvi-
ate any hardship on the industry
from wartime restrictions on the use
Of tin cans, has been developed in
laboratories at the University OF
Maryland.
j. M. Lemon, head of the uni
versity's fish and wildlife service
said the new process, which in
wolves pasteurization, retains the
flavor of the crab meat almost in
definitely.
Mr.. Lemon said present practice
was to put up crab meat in tin cans
with holes in the bottom to allow
for drainage. AS result, he said
meat frequently spoils in transit
and is seized by Federal food and
drug officials.
Pasteurization, he said, prevents
the formation of liquids in the con-
tainers and makes the openings un-
necessary.
He predicted that impending
spread in the use of glass contain
ers to save vital war metals would
lead to wide adoption OF the pas
teurization method.

Mead Offers Bill
ToAdjust Pay
Of U. 5. Workers
Overtime or Flat
Percentage Increase
Provided in Plan
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

The wartime pay adjustment bill
for Federal employees introduced in
the Senate yesterday by Senator
Mead, Democrat, of New York will
be submitted to Government agen-
cies for study before the Senate
Civil Service Committee begins con-
sideration of it.
The bill follows the general out
line of compromise plan previously
discussed in House committee, to
provide either for overtime COM
pensation or a fiat percentage in
crease.
Calling for a work week of not
less than A hours, it provides for
time and . half compensation
above 40 hours, but only on the part
of an annual salary not in excess
of $4,000.
Permits Increases.
For those who cannot receive
overtime pay, the measure makes
possible a 10 per cent increase, but
not to exceed $500 a year.
Although members of the House
Civil Service Committee have con-
sidered similar plan, no formal
action has been taken in that
branch. It was indicated recently
the House will defer action until
fall.
Introduction OF the Mead bill In
the Senate yesterday, however,
opens up the possibility that the
Senate committee may work on the
measure in the meantime to ex-
pedite a final decision later in the
year.
Another Bill Pending.
There is already pending on the
Senate calendar a separate bill,
dealing only with custodial workers,
public building guards and mechani-
cal craftsmen in Government de-
partments. That measure is de-
signed to correct inequalities among
employees in the lower brackets and
has passed the House.
Another pay increase bill was in
troduced in the House yesterday.
Representative Barry, Democrat, of
New York offered a measure pro-
viding for a Is per cent increase in
the salaries of all civilian Govern
ment employees.
Mr.. Barry said War Labor Board
findings that the cost of living had
risen IS per cent since January /,
1941, and that compensatory wage
increase be given to labor had
prompted his bill.
