A Thought for Today
Father Draft

The favorable turn which the war has
taken is reviving and intensifying op-
position to drafting Of "pre-Pearl Har-
Dor" fathers that is, of men whom
it is impossible to suspect Of having
become parents merely to avoid the
draft. It is unfortunate that such
dividing line must be drawn. Father
hood goes on, war or no war, and the
vast majority Of those who have be-
gotten children since December 7,
1941, are not draft-shirkers. They are
Just normal family men. However,
there are few in their number who may
have imagined that having child would
help them to avoid fighting. Since the
draft was necessary, 1t has seemed wise
10 assume that he who begot child be-
fore we were at war had no reason to sup
pose that he might be forced to leave
that child fatherless, while he who as
sumed parenthood after we were at war
did it deliberately, taking his own
chances
In any event, the dividing line has
become Pearl Harbor Day, and there Is
vast undercurrent of opposition to the
drafting of pre-Pearl Harbor fathers
an undercurrent that has broken
through with the flat refusal OF some
draft boards to induct such men, This
recalcitrancy rest only in part on senti-
ment. In part it is economic, arising
from a feeling that mothers OF small
children should not be forced to live on
soldier earnings even plus the gov
eminent subSidy-eXcept as a really last
resort. Underlying both these consider
atoms Is another which, in the long run,
is even more important. Millions Of US
do not believe that there is any necessity
for drafting such fathers. We do not
believe that the armed forces need them,
or are liable to need them.
The fall of Italy Is only minor victory.
The hard tests of the war are yet to come.
But we already have in the armed forces
all the men we can use advantageously,
in the opinion Of many intelligent OBJ
servers. #, from now on, we cofine
ourselves to replacement of casualties,
there would be no scarcity Of manpower
in uniform even for the terrifically hard
fighting remaining before U.S. There still
are many young, healthy bachelors -
and benedicts without children - hold
ing down Jobs which could be filled by
pre-Pearl Harbor fathers. You know or
them and so do we. That being the
case, 1t is time for the draft agencies to
revise their plans unless they would prefer
to have Congress, which Is very alert to
this general feeling, take charge of the
revision

The Honorable Howard w. Smith, con-
gresham from Virginia, has introduced
a bill in the House Of Representatives to
amend the National Labor Relations Act
so as to specifically exclude supervisory
personnel from the term "employe".
Under the wording Of the present act,
the National Labor Relations Board rec
ognizes no limitation on the term "em-
ploye", says Congressman Smith, :. Z.
even the highest officials OF corporation
or employees Of the corporation, for the
purposes Of the act.
"This creates an intolerable situation
from the standpoint Of management. II
there is to be collective bargaining there
must be somebody to bargain on each side
of the table"
John L. Lewis, president Of the United
Mine Workers Of America, has taken
advantage of this situation and in
Structed local unions to proceed to en-
roll the 10000 management representa-
tives of the bituminouS coal companies,
and under the present construction OF
the National Labor Relations Act, they
have no ready alternative but to join
the union and pay $40 initiation fee and
$3.50 month dues, whether they wish
to or not.
"The issue is not confined to the BIZ
luminous coal industry" says MIR. Smith.
IF representatives of management IN
that industry are within the terms OF
the National Labor Relations Act and may
thus be taken over, the same thing could
be done in every industry in the country,
and the theory that there can be free col
lective bargaining under any such condi-
tons, is pure fiction"
In their own interests, labor unions
should not condone such acts OF their
leaders, for they, and not the leaders re-
sponsible for such policies, will suffer
most in the long run.

There are many ways in which
young people today can hold their
own with any generation Of young
people that ever lived, and whether
the sum total Of virtue possessed by
our forebears amounted to more
than the total possessed by us is an
open question. One thing, how
ever, the people Of that day did
seem to have was deep conviction
that life Is something to be taken
quite seriously. to be planned for
and to be viewed ct long range.
They believed that married people
should have one objective. namely,
making something quite definite out
Of their lieves together. To this end
they felt. therefore. that the thing
to do was TO get ready TO raise q
family. probably 9 fairly large one
10 get settled IN some sort Of life
work, and indeed 10 look clear 10
the end Of life 10 the day when
they would be called 10 their re-
ward.
We can never 60 back and do lust
as our fogebears did. but certainly
we can be helped by observing some
Of their attitudes and practices,
They may have lacked much. but
they undoubtedly possessed 9 stabll-
ny Of purpose which We might well
emulate.

Initiation Defense

In a report by Emerson P. Schmidt,
the economist Of the Chamber OF Com
merce OF the United States, it is
pointed out that the fundamental
cause of initiation rise Of money
means of payment or buying power OF
the civilian population" - has not been
dealt with. The point is made IN a
listing of the factors which will prevent
collapse if properly employed
The survey was undertaken to pro-
vide an answer to the question, "1S post
war collapse inevitable?" The chambers
answer is a confident no, provided
certain policies are adhered to IN the
planning for the postwar period. OF these
policies one of the most important Will
have to be the maintenance Of less IN.
flated price level than existed at the end
of the last war.
This will require full public support
of several essential tasks, including IL
nancing Of the larger war costs by Tax
alton and purchase Of war bonds by m
dividuals rather than by commercial
banks: expansion Of consumer gooos
production to such an extent as will not
interfere with the war effort.
After the war, the chamber believes,
inflationary forces may be just as pro-
nounced as now because OF pent-up
consumer demand. This demand may
be a factor in the nations postwar
economy, because if the people expect
prosperity and act accordingly, pros
perious period Is likely to result. The
reverse IS also true. If the people ex-
pect a postwar depression, one will likely
result because then people with spendaole
money will withdraw their purchasing
mower and produce stagnation.
In the chambers view, therefore, the
neople will have much to do with postwar
Economic soundness and with prosperity
as against depression.

There'll Come a Time

Sometime, in the not far distant
future, this fair country Of ours will eX-
tend the welcoming hand to old-boy I'm
dustrial Reconversion" That will follow
the great days when our armed forces
will come back from fox-holes, rough
seas, and out Of the skies.
At the time our countrymen began to
put on their uniforms, a million persons
were employed in less than half dozen
industries engaged in the production OF
motors, steel, rubber, electrical equip
ment, petroleum refining.
These countrymen of ours will find
their way back into all parts of the 48
states to their homes, and they will re-
spond to the calls to reconvert the activl-
ties of those five industries. Small bust
ness has even more jobs to offer them
than big business.
Farm employment holds the lead in
the total number Of jobs, where there are
normally between ten and eleven million
workers The farms need all the help
they can get when the time comes to wei
come home the men from the battle
fronts.
Statistics of employment before the
war, showed 52,840,762 workers. Less
than month ago the Government had
proposals under contemplation to expand
the nations rubber tire plants by sepnd-
ing 05 million dollars. The Stepping-up
Of gasoline and oil production to an all
time high Is only question Of time.
Il should be taken for granted that the
Government will give the automobile in
dustFy the big green light. as soon as the
war-euns are silenced. That will be the
signal for local dealers, service stations,
road builders, hotels, roadside stands -
and all the countryside, with its vast
stores OF natures products, to accept the
new peace-tiEne challenge and whoop-up

Note: Friends of MacArthur's
are divided regarding the signifi-
canoe Of breaking that mirror.
Some say that the bad luck from
the mirror led to MacArthur's de-
feat at Bataan and the surrender
at Corregidor. Others point out
that the seven years Of bad luck
had run It's course long before
Bataan, and that Macarthur had
had pretty good luck anyway be-
fore Bataan. So they conclude
that either breaking a mirror may
not mean much after all, or else
the bad luck omen was dispelled
by the fact that the mirror was
smashed on MacArthur's head and
that 1t was his wife who actually
broke 1t.

That something has been wrong
with Intelligence operations in
both services is indicated by the
steady turnover Of their chiefs.
No chief has remained more than
about year in either Naval or
Military Intelligence. Latest to go
Is Admiral Harold Train, easy
going, likeable chief Of Naval In
telligence, now being relieved.
In three years, the Navy has
had the following quick succession
Of Intelligence officers: Admiral
Walter 8. Anderson; Captain
Alan G. Kirk: Capt. Theodore
s. wilkinson; and Admiral Train.
The Army's record Is similar.
Since 1910 Its Intelligence has
seen the following turnover Of
chiefs: Col. e.. r. McCabe; Maj.
Gen. Sherman Miles; Brig. Gen.
Raymond Lee; and Maj. Gen.
George v. Strong.
Meanwhile the efacient FBI
has been under one man for
well over . decade. J. Edgar
Hoover has grown up In the
service, has picked good men,
and Is responsible not only for
the tough life Of kidnapers
these days, but for the amazing
lack Of sabotage In the U. s. A.
One reason attributed for in
efficiency inside the Naval and
Military Intelligence has been the
practice of bringing in blue
blooded young men from the best
families and giving them cello
plane commissions (you can see
through them but they protect
from the draft. This practice
started before the war when the

Poorly made coffee Is boiled coffee
enough to drive a good man to

Here's how to make good coffee
and keep your man purring:
!. Purchase coffee In small quar1ti-
ties so that 1t will be consumed
soon after roasting.
2. If It is in the bean, grind only
enough for the brew each tina;
If It is ready ground, keep 1t in
tightly sealed container.
8. See that pot, percolator or what
ever gadget you use to make cofft >
Is thoroughly clean. A mere trace
Of previous brew tends to impair
the flavor OF the present brew.
4. Add a little cold water to the
quantity Of coffee you use for the
brew. Let IL stand at least fifteen
minutes cold--no harm II 1t
stands sold over night. The cold
water extracts and holds the
aroma or flavor well.
5. When you are nearly ready to
serve, heat the coffee up nearly
but not quite to boiling. Watch
this carefully-do not let It boil
even a moment, but snatch the
pot from the FIRE Just before she
boils.
8. Oh, yes, II you use white Of egg
or whole egg or just egg-shell,
put It in the coffee and stir well
before heating. II you prefer to
settle the coffee without egg, let
the pot stand o few minutes after
removing from fire, then dad a
few spoonfuls Of cold water Just
before serving.
Z. Serve the coffee as soon as 1t has
cooled enough to be drinkable.
Remember this, every brewer Of
coffee: When you can smell coffee
all over the place, that Is irrefut-
able evidence Of crime In the kit
chen.

Here in this fen where marsh flowers blow,
Where rushes twist and turn,
Where club moss spreads its mat below
tangled fringe Of fern,
Where the wild wings beat criss-croSs line
Fluttering bridgtly by
Seeking to Irvine and integtwtne
The painless paths Of sky,
Where, laced In sun adm fiecked IN shade,

Curling through glen and grassy glade
And purring like cat,
