Released Soldiers Taking
Jobs In War Industries

Washington, D. C.-The Owl re-
ports that a majority of servicemen
being discharged from the armed
forces are accepting employment in
war plants where, despite their dis
abilities, they are doing good job
and are becoming real factor in re-
lieving manpower shortages.
Relative few are taking advantage
of the opportunity to obtain vocation
al education at the cost of the Gov
ernment, but the Veterans Admins
tration expresses the belief that many
of those who are now accepting en-
ployment in industry will request vo-
cational training if and when their
present employment ends.
To date at least 100000 veterans of
from the Army, Navy and Marine
Corps. The Army released 585,000
from Pearl Harbor through Septem-
Der 80, 1943. The Navy discharged
1873, ,155 from Pearl Harbor through
October 81, 1943, and the Marine
Corps discharged 34,759 during the
same period. Of this discharged, &c.,
900 were released from the Army for
medical reasons and 46,961 from the
Navy and Marines for medical rea-
sons. The remainder have been dis
charged for number of reasons, the
most important of which is over-age.
Of the total number discharged, 26,-
600 have applied to the Veterans Ad-
ministration for continued hospitali-
zation and $500 have applied to the
same agency for vocational rehabili-
tation. The bulk of the remainder

DRYS ENDANCERINC
RATIONINC SETUP
BY HARRY N. BULOW

The entire concept of consumer
rationing of any product is based on
the desire to assure an equitable dis
tribution of relatively scarce mer-
chandise to a public anxious to spend
it's greater earnings. The success of
any rationing plan therefore depends
first on the correct determination of
the amount of goods that will be
available and second on the proper
appraisal of the number of consumers
who will demand these goods Should
either of these estimates prove far
wrong, the whole rationing program
becomes seriously endangered.
The rationing of liquor poses the
same problem in an even more inten-
sifed manner Monopoly States who
are making sincere attempt to as
sure an equitable supply of bottled
merchandise to the residents of their
States find that they have little diff
Guilty ascertaining in advance the
amount of liquor which will be made
available by the distillers for any
given period But they are having con-
siderable trouble setting out proper
rationing basis because of the willful
registration for liquor ration permits
of non-drinkers.
In particular, it appears as though
the important dry elements in these
monopoly States are vigorously seek
ing to discredit liquor rationing and
hence, they hope, the entire distribu-
tion of legal liquor. The favorite ac-
tivity in this connection is reported to
be the mass registrations of drys who
hope (1) to upset rationing calcula-
tions and (2) to make coupons avail
able to drinkers either for fee or,
in order to hamper the equitable dis
tribution of liquor, for nothing
While thus far counter measures
have not proved particularly success
full in restricting these malicious ac-
tivitieS, certain steps can be taken
which would go far to end these unde-
sirable practices.
First, it would be wise perhaps for
the rationing State to give the fullest
publicity to everyone applying for a
liquor ration card. This ought to be
done locally, county by county or town
by town, over the radio and in the
newspapers. In this way not only
would the drys be forced out into the
open and any chicanery exposed, but
it would be possible to find out which
| of the alleged drys really are alcoholic
| beverage consumers in the confines of
| their own homes--those who preach
abstinence yet who secretly indulge in
the condemned liquor.
| Second, the States should impose
and enforce stringent rules regarding
the transfer of liquor coupons. Thus
anyone caught selling or giving his
coupons away would be penalized by
stiff jail sentences and fines.
If steps along these lines are taken
rationing can be made the effective
emergency instrument it was intended
to be. Without it or without the public
support of these measures, any sytem
of rationing will collapse through no
fault of the rationing authorities.
