be interviewed In a comfortable
sitting room full Of deep leather

Old Job Ruled Out.
Mr.. Bennett told OF . 23.year-old
marine who came to the center Just
before noon one day. He had worked
In = meat market before the war
and was being discharged from the
service for malaria. The doctor on
duty at the center examined him.
cautioned him against work that
would expose him to sudden changes
OF temperature or heavy exertion.
That ruled out his old job.
The vocational guidance consult.
ant at the center asked him what
he'd done in the service. When it
was found he had spent two years
in radar unit the center located
a vacancy for radio inspector in
the Sd Naval District. Another con-
sultant helped him file q civil service
application. An immediate rat
ing was established and an appoint-
ment with the employing ofiicer.
At $50 the same day the marine
called to say he had the job.
Sometimes, however, it takes many
days to get the veterans Strengthened
out. One of the interviewers told Of
veteran who had enlisted before
Pearl Harbor and had spent most of
his service in the South Pacific. He
had married just three days before
he enlisted.
When he was discharged, he went
back to his home town to find his
wife was involved with another man.
ne felt the whole town was laughing
at him so he left home and came to
New York. He wanted to get lost"
In the big city. He knew he was
drinking too much, knew he ought
to do something about getting job.
Came Out Gradually.
All that came out gradually. When
he came into the center, he'd simply
said he was looking for work. The
interviewer asked him if he'd like to
60 to psychiatric clinic. He thought
he would. Then she referred him to
the USES with special recommends
tions on the kind of work he wanted
to do. And finally she arranged for
q place for him to live where he
could meet people his own age.
The problems are varied. One
boy came in to complain his father
still treated him like a baby al

gave his father his mastering

Turning to the contemplated prof.

Mr.. White said, There seems to a
notion that the United States must
have a favorable balance OF pay
ments indefinitely.

THAT Is nonsense" he said.
Given full employment and a high
national income. this country would
import large quantities of goods,
many Americans would travel
abroad and many. too, would send
their dollars overseas in the form
Of investments. thus creating a de-
mand for foreign exchange"
THAT foreign exchange would be
available for dollars rather than for
gold, thus requiring no drain on
our stocks of the metal"
Taking note at that point of
some suggestions that America S

cause 1t is lying idle at Fort Knox

1T we adopt trade policy that

going to buy. then it won't attain

BRETON WOODS, N. H. July
5.-Harry D. White, head Of the
Treasury's monetary division,
came to vigorous defense today
of the projected international
currency stabilization fund he Is
seeking to pilot through the
United Nations Monetary Con-
ference, but cautioned that it
will perform no miracles"
Acting as official conference
spokesman, the American delegate,
an assistant to Treasury Secretary
Morgenthau, lashed out at critics
Of the proposal after reporting to
newsmen that first conference ses-
sions have not yet brought decisions
on any controversial issues.
Representative Somers, Democrat,
lof New York, observing the parley
as an adviser to the American dele
cation. told a reporter he had noted
what he termed an encouraging at
titude Of compromise on the part
OF the a participating nations and
added. I'm much more optimistic
and far less critical than when
first arrived"
Value Will Be Constant.
Specifically, Mr.. White replied to
those who have contended this
country would be pouring $4,000. .0O0,-
600 in giant rat hole" to those
who have said the United States
must maintain permanently its pre-
war foreign trade position of exports
larger than imports and to those
who say Americas vast gold hoard
Is useless.
First outlining again the function
OF the proposed fund as a mechan-
ism for providing all nations with
the moneys Of other countries they
need to pay their foreign trade
debts, Mr.. White emphasized that

THE COST-PLUS BOYS
CARRY ON

It is alleged that there has de-
veloped in railroad circles what
amounts to a scandal. The travel
ing public, which includes con-
gresham and government inves-
tigators, not to mention civilians
on important public business,
often find it impossible to get
Pullman accommodations. It has
come to light that the real rea-
son for this situation is because
some of the big companies which
have war orders do not depend
on ten-day reservations. They
buy up whole blocks of berths
a month in advance on trains
from Washington, Detroit, Chi
cago, Los Angeles, New York and
other cities.
Not only do they thus deprive
people of pullmans who would
otherwise have such accommoda-
tons but under their cost-plus
contracts with the Government,
they charge the cost of these
berths, plus meals and liquid re
freshments to- the Government.
It is said that the War and Ma
Wy Departments follow this same
plan and that the railroads now
have a standing order for so per
cent of their Pullmans booked up
a month in advance for service
officers.

WE WONDER

This week a large number of
draftees from Dickinson county
have left for the Navy. Accord
ing to report, four bus loads of
men left here on Wednesday and
Thursday for naval training sta
tons, and two additional buses
left Thursday filled with men go
ing for physical examinations.
We regarded this as a bit Of
news that friends and neighbors
of the men would like to have
and tried to secure a list of those
who were navy bound but for
some reason known only to the
clerk of the local draft board,
we were refused these when we
asked for them. Such censorship
of information by the clerk of
this board leaves us wondering
just wby SO much secrecy is
necessary.
