Film Firm Offers To Subsidize CI Soldier-Authors
2Oth Century-Fox Offers $1,50O Fellowships-
 Must Have Outline

HOLLYWOOD-Any CT with the urge of authorship will be given a break by 10th Century The movie company is offering 25 or more fellowships of $500 to men and women of the armed forces who submit promising story outlines. Dis charged veterans are eligible too.
 The fellowship will pay off at $1OO a month over a l5-mOnth pc. riod. During that time the CI lit. erary fellow is expected to develop his outline into a book or play.
 If he can get the story published the author will receive $18,500 more from the 20th-Fox. If 1t isn't pub lished but the company sees movie material in it, the additional price will be $8,500
 The movie company explains its offer as a gesture toward postwar rehabilitation. The $lOO monthly is barely more than unemployment insurance, of course. But for a CI with premonitions of genius there is that gamble on making ii an even $2O,OOO.

President Green Sees New Era Of World Peace
By William Green

With victory over the enemies of democracy almost within our grasp and the promise of peace drawing ever closer to fulfIlment, the workers of America have deep cause for rejoicing on this Labor Day.
 They know the satisfaction of a job well done--a gigantic job of pro- duction which has helped to crush the enemy and which has saved the lives of thousands of American boys fighting in the battlefronts.
 They know the thrill of victory the victory of free labor over the slave labor of the Axis forces.
 And they are looking forward to an even greater thrill-the sight of their sons and daughters and loved ones returning home safe and sound when the fighting ends and peace is once more restored.
 Likewise, our now inevitable victory ln this war constitutes a guarantee that Labor Day will continue to be celebrated by free American workers i'll the future as day of dedication to renewed efforts to improve living standards, widen the opportunities which our democracy affords and make our country a better place in which to live.
 For the forthcoming triumph of American democracy over the forces of fascism must be the forerunner of finer things to come, the beginning of new era of world peace in which all the peoples of the world will be able to grow and expand and prosper in an environment of friendship and security.
 That is labor's foremost postwar goal, toward the achievement of which we invite all human beings of good will to join with us.
 War has required the American people to make many harsh and heavy sacrifices. The coming of peace may likewise invoke tempo rary hardship until the problems of adjusting industry and produc- tiOn to new economic conditions are met.
 But the workers of America will face the challenge of the future as they have responded to the impact of war-with their heads held high and their spirit undaunted by any difficulties that may impede the march of achievement.

LoUe Is Here To
 Stay, Unior, AUers

Local 6, Hotel X Restaurant Employees Intl. Alliance (AFL) New York, now has an official position on love.
 The ruling was made after the headwaiter at a swanky ho- tel roof garden complained that he saw a waitress sitting on a walters lap in a secluded part of the roof garden. The head waiter called on local 6's busi- ness agent, Charlie Martin, to order the two to stop ''such gO- ings-On.
 Me-" replied Martin, ''who comes from a long line of Frenchmen, he asks me to stop people from love! For what did my ancestors fight" So Martin pondered the case for a while and came up with this decision:
 ''You cannot stop lOve-but love should not be made on the boss time. That makes every body happy, no?"

Thorpe Is Named
 State President

The recent spirited election of Union Officials to represent Council l6, A. F. of L. Conn. Association of State, County, and Municipal Employees, which elected George Thorpe to head the streamlined or ganizatiOn as president, by un- animOus acceptance moved the association into a position for action on State and Muni- cipal employee programs.
 What I propose is action the campaign pledge of Presl- dent Thorpe was reiterated in his acceptance speech.
 ''In Henry Couch who has done so much in Hartford for the mu- nicipal employees in organizing the Police, Fire and Street Depart ments as we'll as in the Board of Education in Hartford and other cities, I have the support needed to clear up the Iaissez faire policies of the past year." MT. Thorpe stai- ed. We can look forward to re- suits instead of promises from those who have seen fit to prOcrasti- nate."
 The International Association as the parent body represented by Ellis Ranen of New York City, pledged the support of that body. Ranen stated that While the tools of labor in con- tract and strikes are not ours to work with, we can by unionization present our demands with the collective strength of the largest labor move ment in the world.
 While we remain good citizens and loyal employees always, we can with the freedom of Americans, voice our demands for fair treatment and clean and efficient administration of Civil affairs"
 The resolutions adopted to inves- tigate the administration of the State Merit System and the Munich pal Civil Service Rating in Hart ford through the parent body by its Civil Service Counsel has already been inaugurated and the City and State employees through their un- ion organization will get results i'll the immediate future, was the message left with the local group.

 Finally the House as a commit tee of the whole, passed its version of the George bill by 162 to 39 vote and then passed it before the House itself on a voice vote. Elf forts to force a roIicaIl failed for want of enough support to bring it about. Not a single Republican stood up when Rep. Herman P. Eberharter (D.Pa.) moved for a roll call vote.
 The only amendment accepted that would liberalize the measure in any way was offered by Rep. Thad F. Wasielewski CD. Wis., to set up an advisory board of 12 members from industry, labor, the public and gov ernment to consider reconversion problems.

 In one of the final actions, Rep. Henry Jackson (D.Wash.) sought to include the merchant seamen in the unemployment cOmpensa- ton features, but Rep. Tabor Ob- jected from the Republican side again with another point of order and the seamen were left stranded.

CHURCHILL ASKS
p05Tp0nEMENT,
RELATION DEBATE
Discussion Of Controyers,
Over DeGduIIe' S Com
mittee Stalled

LONDON, June Ia. - British
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
has obtained postponement or
the full dress debate by the House
of Commons on the controversial
issue of British and American re-
lations with the French Committee
of Liberation. Parrying demand
for a showdown, Churchill made
the assertion that "it will do more
harm than good now"
In his first appearance before
the House since his trip to the
Normandy beachhead on Monday
Churchill made scant reference tC
the progress of the war, declaring
that any anxiety over the deGaullt
Committee questions should prop
erly be directed toward our gallant
soldiers who have great operations
in progress which give hope as wei
as anxiety"
Churchill commended that full
discussion of the subject should be
held off until negotiations among
the French, United States ano
Britain can be completed.
The Commons turned to other
subjects after Churchill said he
would not be seeking a delay I'll
l had no hopes of a better solu-
ton than I can announce at the
present time"
