As We See It
 by THE STAFF

F. D. R. has already been en- dOrsed by sixteen State Federations of Labor for reelection to a fourth term. These State Federations have taken this action: Alabama, Ari- zona, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Washington, Mas sachusetts, and New York.
 HEARST should talk about regi- mentation! At one stroke of the pen he degraded every one of his employees to the status of a fellow worker of Westbrook Pegler |.
 Newspapermen used to say: Don't tell mother Pm working for Hearst; she thinks I'm playing piano in honky-tonk." Now what can the poor devils say
 TIM COLLINS will present his first annual report as president of the Connecticut Federation of La bor to the convention early Friday morning. We expect that the re- port will be as progressive and ag- gressive as Collins himself is, and we know the delegates will listen closely.
 WHAT we want to know is, why did the woman who placed the fol- lowing ad in the Montreal Herald want safety pin and a piece of string?
 "WILL THE middle aged serv- iceman Che will recognize the de- scription), who produced the safety pin and piece of string at the right moment and in the correct way for the dark lady in grey, near Peel and St. Catherine on Monday eve ming about ten o'clock, when all seemed lost, please write to Box 6951 Herald Office SO that contact may be established and thanks properly proffered. To be honest, am quite interested apart from the Pin and String"
 TRANSFERS JOINT Council No. 64, and Local l9l will hold open house for delegates to the convention at l9l's meeting hall, 1920 Main St., across the street from the Stratfield. If hotel rooms become available for this purpose, announcement will be made at the convention. An enterprising organ ization, those Teamsters!

and woman power in the production of the necessary weapons of war. American labor can be depended on, l know, to continue to de- vote itself primarily to that task.
 Once the forces of ty- ranny have been overcome, we shall be faced with difi- cult problems of transition from war to peace. There will be matters of interna- tiOnal arrangements as we'll as questions of internal ecO- homie policy. What we do in both spheres will affect our success in attaining a durable world peace "a peace which will contribute to the progress of mankind, and will give to all who work and produce, an op- pOrtunity constantly to bet ter their own lives.
 In the solution of these problems we will need the cooperation of free Ameri- can workers, free American employers and free Ameri- can farmers. | am confident that we shall have it in days of peace as we have had it in days of war.

Secretary ForrestaI
Washington Post)

Washington PosD
The late Dwight Morrow used to cite Rule as
one of his favorte rules of conduct. When asked
what it was he replied, DO not take yourself too
seriously" He would then be asked about the other
five rules. There no other rules, he would add
laconcaly Well James Vincent Forrestal always has
been a living example of Rule 6. He has never taken
himself too seriously The characteristic of course,
makes for dangerous livngif you don't take yourself
too seriously possibly other people won't, and your
dignity may suffer in consequence. But Secretary
Forrestal doesn't think so, did some very i'm
mortal Rule Sixers such as Abraham Lincoln Emer-
son and oliver Wendell Holmes
The fact is that the new Secretary of the Navy
has won the respect as we'll the esteem of both
Congress and the White House. Proof is that when
Secretary Knox died, only one name was heard on
the Hill, and that his The President seemingly
was in no two minds about Mr.. Knoxs successor.
With CELEBRITY which is most unusual for Mr..
Roosevelt he named Mr. Forrestal to the vacancy.
Richly has the honor been earned. No small share
of the credit making the Navy really second to
is due to the seepless credit of Mr. Forresta as
Undersecretary The Navy was born in the ship
yards it muntioned in the nations factories.
The job belongs by law to the Nays Undersecretary
He has done it without fuss feathers but in
which will leave shining mark in our country S
annals. The entire personnel of the Navy know and
appreciate what Mr. Forrestal has accomplished.
That is why the keenest hope prevailed in the service
itself that Mr.. Roosevelt wouldn't go outside the
department for the appointee
The new Underseretary, whoever he may be, will
inherit the benefit of Mr.. Forrestals organization.
He will find two sides to it, Mr. Forrestal has been
saving money we'll spending it. mark OF his
shall we say it?-iberasm is to be found in the care
has taken to that Navy contracts properly
negotiated He got together for this purpose as
capable and fair-minded and pubc-spirited a
committee as can be found in Washington Now he
must leave all this work to his successor though we
have no doubt that his will want to take
advantage of his counsel and his Judgment.
Mr. Forrestal becomes Secretary of the Navy at
time when the word has gone out to prepare the
plan for combined department of war. Out of his
experience he knows the waste involved in maintain
ing separate procurement systems for Army and Navy
1t may be that he might help to anticipate the Or
ganizatona reform by trying to work sort of interim
arrangement for the prevention of overlapping in
curement 1t would be job that might justifiably
be expected of him The Secretary is stickler
for precedens, he hasn't lost his youthful zes for
change, his zeal for reform He is the sort Of man
who wants to be part of progress. Having grown
rather than swollen at his post in Washington, Sec

SOCIALIZED HEALTH BILL

Powerful argument against the Wagner-Murray
socialized health bill now before Congress is con-
tanned in the following sxpoint blast at the measure
by the American Bar Association.
l. Local disagreement must be preserved IN
our Federal system State governments directly re-
sponsibe to the will of the people best adapted to
exercise such supervisory controls as may be instituted
over the health and medical care OF our citizens.
g. The Wagner bill seeks to invest in the surgeon
general who is not an elected servant of the people
and who is not amenable to their will, the power
arbitrarily to make rules and regulations having the
force and effect of law which affect every home.
g. The measure furnishes the instrumentalty by
which physicians for their practice hospitals for their
continued existence and citizens for their health and
that of their families made to the purpose
of Federal agency.
4 The bill fails to safeguard the rights OF pa
tens citizens hospitals doctors with respect to
disputes arising or rights denied through arbitrary
or capricous action of man.
S. The bill fails to provide appeal to any court
from action of the surgeon-general.

lican as his running mate. Prob
ably this dates from his reading OF
the life of Abraham Lincoln and
the fact that, in the war election
of 1864, Lincoln, Republican, pur-
posely drafted a Democrat, Andrew
johnson, to be Vice President.
Various Republicans have been
talked about or scrutinized by the

PATTON SPEECH LEAK

The Army is still irked over the
manner in which General Patton's
London. speech-that England and
America were destined to rule the
world-leaked past the censor 1t
was supposed to have been stopped
by Col. Jock Lawrence, press re-
lations aide to General Eisenhower
and one of the ablest public rela-
tons men in the business.
Lawrence was public relations
counsel for the motion picture in
dustry before the war, and worked
with Wendell Willkie to smooth out
the abortive Senate investigation
of Hollywood in 1941 Since Pearl
Harbor, he has been in England
and one of his jobs has been to keep
the censor's muzzle on Army Brass
Hats.
However, General Patton got
away from him, letting his speech
be published by the British Press
Association before Lawrence had
time to clap on the muzzle. All
Lawrence could do was to add the
word Russia" to Patton's original
declaration that Britain and the
United States were distined to rule
the world. This was why Patton's
speech, as reported one day, named
Britain and the United States as
the worlds future rulers while, next
day, it named Britain, the United
States and Russia.
The War Department has now
warned Patton. that he is to say abb
solutely nothing.

is First Lieutenant Clinton B. Mills,
veteran of los combat missions in
the Mediterranean theatre of War,
with the 332nd fighter group.
Recalling the part he played in
the invasion at Anzio, the fighter
pilot said: 1--WE were patrolling the
beachhead when suddenly about
20FW 1905 dropped out of the
clouds and began dive bombing
our landing troops. My flight of
four P40s caught the last flight of
four ferries as they released their
bombs and leveled off.
Il was in a hard bank when 1
caught one of the Nazis in my sights
and blasted 30-degree directonal
burst at him. I hit his cowling and
as his engine started burning he
whipped oyer into a tight spin.
THE pilot bailed out and l fol-
lowed him down to see if he'd land
behind our lines. However, lucky
(for him) gust of wind carried him
to about 20 miles behind the enc
my lines.

ceived about eight flax holes, one
