Driscoll pointed out that about 40 percent of the armed forces will be involved in the readjustment problem of the postwar era and cited the various means so far adopted by the unions in meeting the problems. MT. Driscoll stated that definite provisions ar ecalled for in all union contracts which eventually will aid the returning veteran.

BAYEUx PEOPLE
 TICKLED SILLY
French of Town Ten1pO- rariIy Berserk With Joy
 as Germans Evacuate
By ALAN MOORHEAD Representing Combined Allied Press Distributed by United Press)

 Bayeux, France, June 9-(UP)- The French of this town have gone temporarily berserk with the joy of freedom, after four years of pent- up hatred for the Germans and welcomed the opportunity to punish the collaborationists.
 The chief collaborationist of Bay eux, who also is the head of the ''anM- Bolshevist league" has just been showed through the main street by an hilarious and demonstrative crowd.
 A grey-haired, squat figure, blood was running down the side of his head. His shirt was half torn of, his right leg was scratched and a wreath of roses crowded his head in an ironical take-off of cere- monial.
 His eyes were filled with fright and he stared wildly as he tried to dodge blows aimed at him. A young French guerrilla armed with an Allied rifle tried to keep the people back but they kept surging forward.
 A while ago the crowd grabbed one of the collaborationist police men and he was being beaten by the screaming townspeople.
 Thus France was observing her liberation.
 NThe delight of the people, was mingled witha sudden outburst of four years pent up hatred of the Germans and their followers. This was quite different from Tunisia and Italy. Hatred of the Germans overshadowed all else here.
 For the moment the people were too dazed to celebrate. Their main thought was to grabe the enemies who have repressed them since 1941.
 GA similar dispatch filed by John Hetherington said the towns-people of Bayeux started a roundup of pro-vichy residents but that most of them had fled with the German arTnies.)

trial management.
TT SOUNDS like diabolie scheme
L for leading worthy war veterans
to their economic slaughter.
Instead of being rewarded and
compensated by grateful people as
they should be, the veterans would
be crucifed by the Ickes formula on
a cross of demagogy.
Mr.. Ickes would let the veterans
take the rap of economic failure IN
order to serve a temporary dema-
gogic purpose as irritating competl-
ton to regular unsubsidized business
concerns, which Mr. Ickes loathes.
Irrespective of the realities, Mr.
Ickes, unfurling his blue sky banner,
had the temerity to say:
eve must make sure that the
ownership and control of these plants
come to rest in the hands OF those
who are interested in their con-
tinued, full operation and haze hopes
of a rejuUenated and eUen more
rigorous America. ----------
81 know of no better lOay to dc-
comptish this than to Uest the gunner
ship and control of these government
plants in the men and Donen Who
haze served In our armed forces.
These are the people rUho, Ue can be
sure, Dill be interested in maximum
production and maximum, employ
n1ent.
"GiUing to each of them share
in the ownership and control of a
giant segment of American industry
wouid amount to giving them stake
in the future economy of America
Dhich they are fighting to preserve"
THIS is a sample of the lack of
4 financial acumen which has
guided the strange menagerie of
bureaucrats assembled by the New
Deal to exploit the credulity of un-
sophisticated persons.
This proposal of Mr.. Ickes is in
character.
For more than eleven years, the
country has paid a terrible price for
such incompetent federal misman-
agement.
The need for better and more
prudent national housekeeping is
now more acute than ever before.
The November election will give
the people a chance to unseat the
wordy and incompetent, and to send
to national leadership persons with
a genuine understanding of what
makes the wheels go round in our
national life.
Heaven help the nation if such
perverted schemes as Mr.. Ickes CON
cocts were to represent American
policy toward business concerns
which have periodically COM
through with war goods in unpre-
cedented quantities, on the one hand,
and toward our brave men and
women in the armed services, on the
other.
Let us hope that the screwball
thinkers will soon be eliminated from
the national scheme.

TTARoLD L. ICKES, secretary of
II the interior IN recent address
before the Commonwealth Club IN
San Francisco, made a fantastic eco
nomic proposal for giving gold
brick as 4 bonus 10 Veterans at the
end of the war.
He proposed a specious bonus IN
kind-in the form of ownership
shares in government-owned war
plants.
Mr.. Ickes vaguely proposed that
such plants be owned and managed
by war veterans, and operated IN
competition with established and
well managed business corporations.
AS leader of the bonehead school
of New Deal economies, the self
styled curmudgeon doubtless is un.
aware of the implications OF his III
considered proposal.
If Mr.. Ickes were private cltl-
zen, il would not be worth while
going to the trouble of auditing his
remarks, which are usually vitupera-
tive in tone and silly in content.
But Mr.. Ickes has been entrusted
by President Roosevelt with major
business responsibilities, not only as
secretary of the interior, but as a coal
and petroleum administrator.
TN AN election year occurring at a
l. critical juncture in the nations
history, it seems important to meas
ure for the people the caliber and
economic intelligence of New Deal
stalwarts such as Mr. Ickes.
At the outset, it should be made
clear that the Hearst newspapers, III
opposing Mr.. Ickes bizarre proposal
for bogus bonus, do not criticize it
on the ground that it is too generous
to our fighting men, but, Oh the eeh-
trary, because his scheme would not
adequately repay the nations debt
to its brave fighting men.
These newspapers want our vet.
Grams to be compensated not only
with hard cash, rather than frozen
and speculative assets, but also with
genuine educational and business OPP
portunities.
The veterans of this war are the
flower of our young manhood, and
are destined to become the new lead
ers in public and private affairs IN
the coming generation.
Through sheer ability, helped by
the appreciative attitude toward
them on the general public, these
veterans will man our most success
full industries and achieve posts of
high responsibility in business, gov
eminent and the arts and sciences.
TN FACE of such prospects, Secre-
L tary Ickes, with his abysmal
ignorance of practical business,
would consign these war veterans to
second class economic citizenship,
He would block their normal ex-
pectancy of advancement in going
and successful business concerns, by
shunting them off through his crack
pot scheme into would be second
grade competitors of the great com
panies. AS bonus he would give
the veterans title to war plants and
war machinery.
Ickes knowingly or ignorantly
overlooks the fact that many of these
plants and much of the machinery
are special purpose in character
designed to produce war munitions
in large quantities.
Such capital will to large extent
become obsolete with the advent of
,nnnnn nnd much nf Il nnn1lct he

THE ideal time TO pay the
bonus from an economic
standpoint would be several
years hence when the pentup
demand for goods has been
filled and business decline 10

Now Mr. Jones has been maxi

banks would not take and he
not only runs his RFC without

Mr.. Jones is smarter than the
