Home Front Wins

Decision Of ne War Production
Board 10 permit resumption Of man
utacture Of certain vital materials
IS a break Tor the home front. Not
that civilians are u have been clam
orIng for TINS move at the expense
of the armed forces, aSSuredly they
have not been. But they have been
longing and looking for the time to
come when the War might reach the
stage where these things would be
possible.
Mass production Of materlel for the
fighting men has been At SO fast a
pace that it is now possible Tor a
reconVersion in certain lines, and
the public VIII be grateful for this
for two reasons; one. that the war
is that near provided for, and, two,
that essentials can be anticipated
again.
The home front thus wins in one
instance, as not long hence it should
in many others. All the people have
been through privations Of n kind
or another, from the supreme sacrl-

and willing to part with them as long

Patton Moves Up

Unanimous approval by the Senate
Military Committee of 1t. Gen,
George Patton's nomination by the
President to the rank of major gen.
eral means that full approval by the
Senate as a whole is assured. Nor
will there be widespread objection,
despite the soldier slapping incident
in Sicily last year.
The general erred; there isn't any
doubt about that. He had no more
right to vent his anger upon a sick
soldier than a private in the ranks
would have to accord him like treat
ment. And, according to general
understanding, this is not the only
instance of his temper getting the
best of him. But with all that, he
is a good soldier.
An evidence of the esteem ir
which he is held in the Army ane
in civil life, too, for that matter, il
seen in the Presidents nomination
to elevate him in rank, the Senate

Union officials believe they
will be divided about evenly
between veterans of World War
l and World War II.
Thomas issued the following
statement:
"The unemployment and re-
habilitation of the soldiers fight
ing this war is the most impor-
tant single item in any postwar
plan. How that problem is han
died will determine whether our
soldiers are being kidded about
fighting a war for real democ-
racy or whether we really mean
it.
eve in the UAW-CIO believe
that the people best equipped to
write out in detail a veteran S
program for our union are the
union members who are them
selves veterans of one of the two
World Wars. They know. from
experience the needs and prob
lens of returning soldiers. The

withhold from soldiers publica-
tions which they want to read.
"No such request was made,
directly or indirectly.
"We recommended several
ways in which this responsibility
could be effectively carried out.
One way would be for the Army
to state the facts on war produc-
ton officially to servicemen i'll a
manner similar to the recent
Truman report. Another way
would be to permit labor or
ganizations to make their own
publications more widely acces-
ible to the soldiers, a privilege
now severely curtailed by Army
regulations.
"Labor's complaint was that in
news the soldiers have been re-
ceiving, stories about strikes
have been overemphasized out of
all proportion and that the con-
structive achievements of the
war production program and la
boris contribution thereto have
been for the most part subordi-
mated. The War Dept. state
ment indicates disposition to
dodge a fundamental RESPONSE
biIity. We consider this decision
a grave mistake"

Control

WASHINGTON, March % =
(FP)-It was news in Washing
ton, March 27, when Pres. Eric
Johnston of the U. S. Chamber
of Commerce testified before
the Senate Banking g. Currency
committee opposing any amend
ments to the price control act
that might result in an in
crease in prices.
Johnston spared with Sem
ator Robert A. Taft (R. ID who
is going down the line for high
er prices.
A smooth witness, Johnston
argued I'VE must not increase
thee cost of living. If amend
ments result in increased prices,
l say these amendments should
not be passed"
When Johnston said he fav-
ored increased consultation by
OPA with industry advisory
committees, the Ohio Republi-
can declared: "The only pur-
pose of industry committees is
to get higher prices" But
Johnston responded: IT h t
isn't true. Sometimes it is just
to get better administration"
