Notes From a
Broadcaster's Diary

The following two viewpoints re-
ceived recently are interesting. Here
is the first:
Neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude except as punishment for
crime whereof the party shall have
been duly convicted shall exist with
in the United States or any place
subject to their jurisdiction. from
the Constitution of the United States.
The President swore to uphold the
Constitution-the national service
act or the labor draft is involuntary
servitude or human slavery. That's
what he called it in Berlin and Tokyo
and he wants it here. What are we
fighting for?
And now for the second viewpoint!
General Eisenhower said we can
win the war in 1914 but everyone
must do his part.
Something must be wrong some
where for him to say that. He knows
it is not the armed forces. So it
must be on the home front. For the
armed forces operate on a function
al algnment-from commanding Of
ficer down, orders are given and
obeyed. Servicemen cannot bargain
with their commanders as to wages,
hours, fighting conditions or make
contracts on cost-plus basis. Their
objective is to win battles.
But on the home front, the objec-
tive is to make money (see Truman
Report. Ships, planes, tanks and
guns are secondary.
We can have functional opera.
ton at home by installing total con-
scription of men, machines, materi-
al and money.
These boys were conscripted to
die. Then why not conscript the
ones at home? If it's good enough
for the armed forces, it's good
enough for the rest of us.
Who can say he is entitled to
more?

pretty hard to be really objective.
Anyone who has watched political
campaigns in the making, has a
hard time not to attribute partisan
motive to any act or word spoken
in Washington in an election year.
AS far as taking the railroads over
goes, that might have been prompt
ed by a real and honest fear that
transportation would have been in
terfered with at a moment when 1t
was as vital to the war effort as
division of fighting men. What pos
sible excuse could there be for let
ting such thing happen?
Again, whether or not there was
to be a strike, there was a strike
threat. At the same moment, there
was a strike threat in another vital
industry-steel. That was called off
by putting pressure on Phillip Muir
ray, head of the c. I. o. But could
that pressure have been applied UNI
less Mr.. Murray could have been
told: Remember, the chances OF
acceptance VI yum soCAitoAANO NJ WAY
steel men will be lot better It
they are afraid the government will
take their industry over too. The
railroads are a warning"
And then, if you want to take one
highly unofficial explanation from a
nobody as far as officialdom goes,
but from man who has fought in
his own little sphere for things he
believes in, I'll throw it in for good
measure.
The comment was applied to the
Presidents call for national serv-
ice act, not the seizure of the roads,
but it applies to both. This observ-
er observed:
Politics? No. The guy just wants
to win the war;"
And come to think of it, that might
have had something to do with 1t
too.

DISCHARGE PAY:
House Votes $500

Arguing that higher payments
would represent a soldiers bonus
which should be left for later discus
sion, the house passed bill provid-
ing for mastering pay of $500 to
discharged vets with so days serv-
ice and 500 to those released be-
fore so days.
With is, 900, 900 vets including
th0se already discharged standing to
benefit from the measure, total cost
of payments was estimated at 31s
billion dollars.
After passage by the house, the
bill was sent for approval to the SEN
ate, which previously enacted legis-
lation providing for maximum pay
ments ranging from $500 to vets
overseas for 10 months or more, to
5000 to those with less than IL
months service in the U. S, Unless
the senate okayed the house bill,

the two chambers to get together to

MILK SALES:
Bottles or Containers

Chicago's big battle to determine
whether milk shall be sold in paper
containers as well as glass bottles
still has not gotten out of the courts,
even though the state Supreme court
ruled that paper containers could
not be used under the wording of
the city's disputed ordinance govern
ing distribution of the product.
At present, Chicago diaries will
continue to package the milk in pa
per containers pending filing of a
motion for a state Supreme court
rehearing of the case. Since the
courts have declared no interest in
the sanitary aspects of the question
of bottling, but have merely con-
fined themselves to the wording of
the city ordinance, rewriting of
the law would permit legal use OF
paper containers.
