These days it is popular to crit.
CHE Democratic methods for their
lack of speed. The legislative mills
do grind slowly as we have noted,
with many of the measures delay
ing readjustment to the peace to
come. But in the case of the first
steps toward preparing for de-
mobilization which have brought up
such hearty isagreements, it so
happens that. quite unobserved by
most observers. the machinery has
been grinding steadily ahead just
the same.
This was achieved by executive
order, and, on the surface at least,
it appears that work has been done
while congress was disagreeing.
Since February "a. when the execu-
tive order creating it was issued, the
Retaining and Unemployment ad-
ministration has established more
than 5000 information centers which
will be the contact point with dis
charged veterans and war workers.
1t also erected the framework of a
system which can be expanded to
take care of the peak demands when
rehabilitation starts in earnest.
These information centers are the
vital points of contact between gov
eminent agencies and the citizen,
veteran or civilian who is starting
on the road back to peacetime
existence.
The philosophy back Of this whole
readjustment plan is based on the
idea that a man or woman can best
be served by his own friends and
neighbors. The government, local or
federal, helps, but the local com.
munity whose own prosperity de-
ponds on the prosperity and happi-
ness of its members. is the best OF
guides, philosophers and friends.
The Retaining and Reemploy-
ment administration is the child OF
the Baruch-Hancock report, which is
a lengthy document embodying the
results Of long study and presented
as suggestion for appropriate
legislation. Since the lawmake
were slow in their law-making, the
President issued his executive order
under his war powers.
He put the new administration un-
der the Office of War Mobilization,
its head, Mr.. Byrnes, named Gen.
eral Hines, head Of the Veterans
administration, as Administrator Of
the Retaining and Unemployment
setup.

Army Needs
Nurses Immediately

The Army needs 1000 nurses
immediately, Paul V. McNutt
Chairman of the War Manpower
Commission, reported last week
Men wounded in battle must have
adequate care no matter how
quickly the war ends, he pointed
out in deploring the fact that nurse
recruitment had slowed up along
with growing belief that the
European war is about over. The
VINO chairman urged inactive
nurses, especially in outlying COM
munities, to return to nursing duty.

The average civilian motorist

Administration Eager
To Make Good Shouting

Since the Democratic administra-
ton is open to sharp criticism if
any phase of the adjustment pro-
gram drags, considerable effort will
be made to show results. Pressure
applied to congress to hurry the
legislation was exerted, too. with
the Republicans perhaps in the less
advantageous position since the
original measure offered by the ad-
miniStration was considerably al
tered, first in the senate and later
in the house.
When the President was asked for
comment on Governor Dewey
charge that the New Deal was afraid
of the peace because it was uncer-
tain that the economic problems
would be satisfactorily solved. the
President merely said we could say
that he smiled broadly.
Meanwhile, some members of the
administration not sure whether
smiles were in order have been out
in the field attempting to find out
just what has been accomplished
toward opening the way to full en-
ployment, which is generally adj
mitted to be the one sure answer to
the danger of a depression The
work Of the Retaining and Reem-
ployment administration if it can
show good record can be an ex-
ample Of one of the first concreta
steps.
Reports of the informal investiga-
tors have not been made public. We
do know that in some communities
the local people have responded
well. Many energetic mayors and
chambers of commerce are ready
and anxious to show their local in
dustries the benefit of the possibili-
ties of expansion. They have been
active in making plans which will
get the returned veteran or war
worker a job, or get him in contact
with the proper source for training
which will make him a potential
benefit to the community. In such
places the committees are quickly
and easily formed and are prepared
to function-in some cases are al

MACHINE TESTS
ATHLETIC TALENT
By GEORGE MASTERS

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. 7.
-(P)-An electrical machine for
measuring a potential athletes APP
titude as a grunt-and-groan artist
or as a gridiron star has been dev-
eloped at the University Of Min
nesota by DR.. L. F. Keller, acting
director of athletics.
Disclosing that the machine was
devised and used for a series Of
tests on both high school and uni
versity athletes as on nonathletes,
DR.. Keller, said today that it might
well be used in determining the
sports field an athlete should en-
ter. He said he already had writ
ten of his findings in a recent is
sue of the research quarterly OF
Ann Arbor, Mich.
The tests, he said, bore. out his
conclusion that youths ability to
move his arms, legs and trunk OF
his body quickly was major fac
tor in athletic success, especially
in team competition such: as base
ball, track, basketball and football.
Coordination of such movements
with the movements and signals
of others, he said, were. of less
Importance to wrestlers and gym

Describing athletes of the tests
as those who had survived the
gruelling competition for a place
on a freshman or varsity squad,
DR.. Keller said he found that in

erably more BODILY quickness'
than the. non-athletes. rs.
The Keller machine. operating
through light signals, records the
lapse of time between signals and
the responses in varied tests.

SPORTS TRAIL,

he-boy-in-the-dark fear the other
teams experienced when up against
the perennial champs.
There is no denying that such
an apprehension existed. It was an
intangible something: the same
something about the Yankees that
made players who were classed as
just every day, journeymen ball
players when with other clubs sud-
denly develop outstanding traits
when they suddenly found them
selves on the champions roster.
Naturally the Yankees had SUI
purb pitching in those days, but
we think the real reason for the
complex of the other clubs was the
presence Of gents like Bill Dickey,
Joe Gordon, Charley Keller, Joe
Dimaggio and Tommy Heinrich on
the roster. The OPPOSITION knew
any one of these men might break
up the ball game at any time, and
consequently were in a continual
state of filters.
Some of those Yankee sluggers
may come back after the w IF.
Comparatively young fellows like
Dimaggio and Keller and Gordon
and Rizzuto. But by then the other
clubs will have overcome that
sense of futility.
Meanwhile, as Mr.. Mccarthy
says, there's nothing wrong with
the Yankees that a little hitting
and a couple of well pitched
games can't cure. A profound OBJ
