UNFINISHED BUSINESS

General Pottons lightning liberation OF France
wos one Of the great military teots OF history Dur
il had an unfortunate and probably unavoidable OFT
er-effect 1t started people thinking that the war IN
Europe was as good over. It not only sPurred me
necessary planning for reconVerson and postwar oos
but also impeIIed many workers to leave their
Jobs to seek work that paid less but promised future
stability.
II is known now that General Potton's dash was
halted principally by lack Of supplies. One cause or
that shortage was the foct that production hoo
sumped with the good news So now postwar plan
nina must be slowed down while an effort is made
to keep war workers on the JOB, and 10 ger DOCK
those who have left.
Undersecretory Of War Patterson has revealed
that production Of five important items Of Army sup
DIV is from II to 40 per cent below present minimum
needs. Henry J. Kaiser has hooked UP the critical
SHORTAGE of attack transports with the fact that in
three months he has lost 70 600 workers from one
shipyord, 70 per cent Of its total force.
What is being done about the quit rote9 There
has been q government campaign, and Mr.. Kaiser
has predicted that the President will shortly appeal
personally to workers to stay their war JOBS But
perhops more local and Immediate appeal is need
ed from management and union officials.
A modest program Of this sort that has attracted
considerable attention in the Eost has been inoueu-
roted by the Edo Aircraft Corp, small factory on
Long Island This program stresses facts about post
war employment on the theory that tocts are the
best means Of building confidence and that contI-
dence is q potent ontdote for the poncky feeling
that peocetime Job must be found quickly before
sudden victory leaves the worker high, dry and un-
employed
The Edo programs chief instruments are thrice
weekly editorials in q local newspaper, postwar es-
say contest among workers, and weekly eorIy-eve-
nina broadcast from New York radio station which
gets big listening response from day workers, and
which is pped into the plant for the night SHIFT to
hear.
1t may be impossible to determine whether gov
eminent or local appeals are effective in per-
suodinq workers that the is far from over, and
that nothing is to be gained by sudden, harmful,
misdirected effort to find immediate employment Sc
curity But surely cooperative endeoVor toward this
end can do no harm. In foct, it might serve as on
encouraging preview Of future operation toward
creation Of 100000 promised jobs when the war
Jobs are finished

NEW YORK-Planning Off
Gals from all over the United
States are visiting New York to
ask about this citys 81 ,270, 000,-
600 public works program, pre-
planned to employ 100000 men
at the time when unemployment
arising out of military and in
duStrial demobilization-is ex-
peCted 10 be heaviest.
The program prepared under
direction Of New York famed
Parks Commissioner r o b r I
Moses, is no mere listing Of wish
full dreams. 1t is a very specific
carefully considered compilation
OF public works, for many Of
which working plans and blue
prints actually are completed
or in process of preparation.
There is nothing spectacular
about many Of its elements. Thu
biggest, the Brooklyn Manhat-
tan tunnel under the East River,
VIII require S38,O00,OOO for COM
plCtiOn. Work was we'll under
way when war restrictions inter-
Vcncd.
SO far as future expenditure
is concerned, the largest project
Is a new water supply system
that Will cost, eventually, Sl06,-
100000. The city proposes to
spend another $4,000, 900 for ad-
dItOnal equipment for existing
SubWays, and S57,00O,000 for
new lines and connecting faClll-
ties Sewers and sewage treat
ment plants Will take more than
S8O,OO0,O0O, while Sll5,O00,000
IS aIlOcated for public housing.
TAKES Up SLACK
The New York program is not
designed to use 100000 men all
the time. 1t is predicated upon
the theory that the unemplOy-
mcnt TO be ameliorated will ap-
pear gradually, rise TO peak
and then disappear gradually as
private industry is converted
from war work to civilian goods
production, and takes up the
slack.
Peak employment will be at
tanned 10 months after the pro-
gram starts. For slightly more
than half a year the maximum
of 100000 men will be employ
ed. Then, for most of a year,
II Will taper off until, winding
up, only about $4,000 men will
remain on the payrolls.
Moses believes that this Coun-
try must choose between a Siz-
able program Of intelligent pub
lie works on the ono hand, and
a return TO depression relief
methods on the other.
He estimates that, for the ma
ton as a whole, interim jobs
must be found for around 5000
100000 men, while industry is
rc-toollng and preparing 10 re-
turn 10 a peace-time economy.
TO give useful jobs TO the recon
period unemployed. UNI
til normal employment Is avail
able, he estimates that SIS bill
lions must be spent over a two
year period.
The problem, as he poses it, is
this: OF the current national
income $50 billions represents
government spending and So,
billions civilian spending EN-.
plovmcnt now is 81 millions

We seldom write about Holly
wood parties. They're usually
pretty dull affairs at which you
sip bum Scotch, nibble on tired
hors d'oeuvreS and talk to peo-
pie you don't know about things
you (and they) don't care.
This party, though, promised
to be different. And brother, it
was.
"Ole Olsen and Chick John
SON." the invitation read, are
going back to New York. II is
an occasion of JOY in Hollywood.
Now yeace and dignity will re.
turn TO our community. We want
you TO be in on the fun when
we gang up on Chick and Ole.
The SHAMELESS start at midnight
at the 1t Cafe-COmmlttee for
the Preservation of Peace and
Dignity in Hollywood
"Shambles" was the correct
word.
Olsen and Johnson were
"tarred' with chocolate syrup
and sprinkled literally with
feathers. They squirted settler
water. They dismantled the
room. Everybody drew pictures
on the walls. The orchestra and
walters were dressed in night
gowns and pajamaS. We ate
scrambled eggs and ham and ears
Of corn decorated with pictures
of Olsen and Johnson.
1t was a night There has new
er been a Hollywood party like
It.
1t all started off peaCcably
enough. A hundred or SO mem
bers Of the SFTPORD in II we're
conducting themselves in a high
~ respectable manner, bother
ing nobody at all.
INDICTED!
Then Leo Garlic got up and
read an indictment against Olsen
and Johnson, charging them with
grand theft - that they had
willfully and fCloniouSly and
with malice afOrethought, stolen
certain antique gags from Fred
Allen, Jack Benny, Eddie Can
tor and others, including the
estate Of one Joe Miller, deCcaS-
ed"
1t was further charged that
Olsen and Johnson had used said
gags in their alleged motion
pictures, Ghost CatChers" and
See My Lawyer and that they
had been getting away with
murder for years.
Without leaving the room, a
jury decided they were guilty.
Olsen and Johnson were forth
with "tarred" and feathered
and then dumped into diversified
mail pouches consigned TO Mayor
FiOrcllO La Guardla at City Hall,
New York. The shipping tags
read This parcel contains un-
cured ham. Open at your own
risk
Olsen and Johnson, however,
did not aCCede TO such treatment
without a struggle.
Olsen became the spokesman
for the team and in an Impas-
stoned defense sought 10 con
vince the Hollywood experts
that their type of humor was
legitimate They Squirted self
ger water in comedian Henry
Youngman's face and then ask
ed him If such a prank WASH t
funny. Youngman, with a froz-
en- pan, said he didn't think so,
although he admitted there was
a certain element Of surprise,
Johnson then produced a Gus
tard pie and applied il with per-
feet craftsmanship to Young
mans face.
You'll admit that's funny,
won't you?' shouted Chic.
Youngman, still dead panning
wasn't convinced. He denied
there was anything particularly
humorous in getting a pic in
the face.

business make up and how
quickly? The best we can po.,
sibly expect is a national post
war income of S12O billions and
employment totaling so million
people"
Many evils Of depression
made-Work programs, in the
opinion Of Commissioner Moses,
arose out Of the fact that there
was no prepared program, so
that leaf-raklng and similar ex-
pedlents were used in despera-
ton.
RESTORE PLANTS
Major public works, necessary
TO restore War-negleCted plants
an dCreate war prevented addi-
tons and expansions, cannot be
planned overnight, he warns. It
takes from six to 10 months to
prepare such projects for actual
construction. Already, in his
opinion, many communities and
states-and the nation as a
Whole-have delayed too long,
SO that they cannot even now be
adequately prepared TO give
productive employment on ne
Cessary public works TO the de-
modified - fighters and war
Workers-Who viii begin clam
oring for jobs when government
contracts are cancelled in bulk
Nor can communities, or even
states, finance, out of their own
resources, enough public works
TO take up the dangerous slack
in employment during reconver-
sion, he says.
II think it will be necessary
for the federal government TO
contribute in the form Of grants
as much as so per cent of the
cost of purely local postwar inn
provements other than improve
ments Of regional significance,
if a total program running 10
anything like SIS billions, en-
ploying a maximum Of 5 mil

immediate tWo-year postwar pc
Rod, is seriously contemplated. "

A WAY TO CRACK DOWN
ON ARMAMENT BUILDING

tons that might come before the
Assembly would be the limita-
ton of ornaments. The Assem-
bly, might agree upon a conven-
ton for world disarmament, and
submit it TO the governments of
the world for ratification. If one
nation should refuse to ratify
and should 60 on building up its
ornaments, then the Security
Council of the United Nations
organization might move in and
crack down. The General AS
sembly would be obliged to refer
such cases to the Security Coun-
Gil for enforcement.
Other questions on which the
Assembly might act would be
tariff barriers, how large powers
should treat dependent colonies,
regulation Of white slavery,
opium traffic, or even the inter
national distribution of obscene
postcards.
The important thing to re-
member is that on any of these
questions, the Assembly could
only recommend. 1t would be
up to the individual member ma
tons to act.
Another job designated to the
Assembly is the coordination of
policies Of existing international
cooperative agencies such as the
lnternationsl Labor Organiza-
ton and the United Nations
Food and Agriculture Organiza-
ton, and to set up such addi-
tional cooperative agencies as
might be necessary. The General
Assembly would not exactly he
boss" over these agencies, but
it would oversee them.
THE ASSEMBLY is A
GENERAL HOUSEKEEPER
Other functions of the Assem-
bly, are largely in the nature of
housekeeping for the United
Nations organization. The Cen
eral Assembly could make its
own rules of procedure.
Further, the General Assem-
bly, may elect its own president,
may apportion the expenses Ol
the member nations in maintain
ing the United Nations organiza-
ton, and it may make the bud
gets for those expenses.
Finally, the General Assembly
may exercise certain checks up
on the Security Council. The
Security Council may nominate
the secretary general, but the
Assembly will elect him and if
the General Assembly turns
down a nominee, the Security
Council must suggest others
until an acceptable one is found.
Similarly the Security Council
may recommend new members
for the organization and recon-
mend that others be expelled.
But it is the General Assembly
which gives final decision to
such recommendations.
The General Assembly is not
empowered to veto any actions
of the Security Council, but it is
the General Assembly which
determines which countries shall
be represented and elected to
the temperament seats on the
Council, so the General Assem-
bly, indirectly controls the Coun-
Gil in this manner. Functions OF
this Security Council will be
discussed in the next article.

It's recommendations might
take the form of conventions
which would then have to- be

But if any countries, by not

Points Out Some
InfIotiionory Signs

Elements that might contribute
to initiation continue to be seen at
the end Of the second quarter of this
year as compared to the end Of the
same period last year, according to
data made available by the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics. Demand
deposits in country banks, consist
ing largely of checking accounts,
were up % per cent-an increase
partly accounted. for by large de-
posts of government funds. These
checking accounts would be infla-
tionary If used to bid up the price
of land and scarce goods. Another
inflationary sign is that average
per acre value of farm real estate as
Of July was up is per cent over
a year ago. For the quarter, cash re-
ceipts from farm marketings were
up six per cent over a year ago and
prices paid by farmers for the
things they Bodybuilding interest
and taxes-Were up five per cent.
The only non-inflationary factor,
more than offset by increased re-
ceipts from farm marketings, was a
decline of one per cent in prices
received by farmers.
