Commando Kelly
 Joins Fight InNY
 For C. Is Ballot
Noted War Hero To Join International Teansters
 Union

Sgt. Charles E. (COmmandO) Kelly, who killed SO many Germans and brought Sack so many alive that he got his name in the papers and was awarded a Congressional Medal of Honor, is going to Albany, N. Y., with organized labor to try to bring back the right to vote for New York state men and women in the armed services.
 Kelly IS one of eight initiators of the Citizens Non-Partisan Committee for the Serviceman's Vote, which has called an emergency meeting in All Abany 70 urge Gov. Thomas E. Dewey to let New York soldiers use the federal ballot. The meeting was set for two days before the deadline for ] states to certify acceptance of the fed eral ballot. AFL and CIO unions in the state are pushing the fight for the CT vote and will be at the meeting, de termined to make Dewey act. / Dewey has refused to certify fed eral ballots fer use in this state de spite demands of labor and other organizations. At present soldiers . must write to this country for an application, have the application reach them on the battlefront, sign the ap- plication and mail it back, then wait for a state ballot to reach them, fill it in and mail it back SO it reaches here at least five days before the cleo tion.
 Because of the red tape in the ! Dewey-sponsored state law, New York has one of the lowest rates for soldier ballot applications in the na- tion.
 Kelly, leading the eleventh hour drive to win soldiers votes, is also about to become a union man. His application to join Local 249, Intl. Bro. of Teamsters (AFL.) in Pitts burgh, has been approved and the local is awaiting the end of his tour to initiate him. His brother was a long time member of Local 249 and Kelly was teamster before the war. His application was in when he left.

Here's What To Do 2 To Get Assistance

By utilizing community re. sources and taking advantage of the Federal program pro. vided by the U. s. Department of LabOr's Children's Bureau for families of servicemen in the lower four pay grades, Connecticut mothers are able to secure medical care for their sick children stated Martha L. Clifford, M.D., Di- rector Bureau of Child lily giene of the Connecticut State Department of Health.
 Under the Emergency Matern- ity and Infant Care Program, the wife of serviceman in the lower four pay grades is able to ob- tain hospital and medical care for her sick infant provided the child is under one year of age. The . care is provided without cost to the patient through the coopera- ton of physician, nurses, and hospital personnel.
 To eliminate lost time in filing applications, mothers may obtain application blanks from the local health officer, local Red Cross or . the Bureau of Child Hygiene, State Department of Health. Payment for all hospital and medical care given the infant will then be paid for . from the Federal funds provided by the program.
 Mothers of well infants should take advantage of the medical and nursing services available in every commun- ity in Connecticut through the Well Child Conferences. These are jointly operated by local health departments and visiting nurse associations. No sick infants are permitted to attend these conferences. Mothers receive advice for the care of well infants and pre-school children who are given routine physical examinations. Ser vicemen's children as well as children of civilians are eligible for such ser vice.
 With the increasing number of , doctors and nurses joining the armed forces, mothers should take every precautiOn to keep children we'll. Vaccination against smallpox should be given at three months or less, and immunizatiOn against diphtheria at nine months. If the child is to be protected against whooping cough ,immunization should begin when the baby is 6 months old.

Unions Prevent School Board From Giving Hundreds Of Thousands Of Dollars To Copper Mining
 Company In Montana

Coming to the rescue in the nick of time, labor of Silver Bow cOun- ty, Montana, prevented the school board from handing over hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of school property to the Anaeonda Copper Mining Co. i'm return for land dangerously honeycombed with underground mines.
 Underground mining, carried on by Anaconda through the Butte Copper & Zinc Co.,, had already destroyed the site of the Garfield school, owned by the country. Once appraised at $1O0,- 900, it is now completely worthless. Its walls had settled and notices were up warning it was dangerous to en- ter. But the school board, acting through five of its members, suddenly announced it would release the min ing companies from all liability for destruction of the building would trade the land for another piece of property near the high school.
 The deal sounded funny to the Silver Bow Trades X Labor Coun- cil so it appointed committee to investigate. The union investiga- tors found that the piece of land which the mining company was go- ing to give the school board was just as badly undermined as the old site. Since the property was near the high school, the committee took a look at the city school site to be on the safe side.
 The high school was brand new building, but they found great many cracks in the walls big enough to lei in air from the outside. The build inl was in the process of disintegra- tion from underground mining-$250,- 900 worth of damage was already done, they learned.
 Another strange discovery was a provision in the trade that Anaconda could mine under the land that was to be given to the school board with out any liability for damage to any buildings that might be built on the land.
 Results of the investigation greatly excited the citizens of Mon- tana. Acting through the labor council, they went to court to con- test the school boards action. While an attorney from Anaconda sat in the courtroom carefully talk ing note of the proceedings, Judge Jeremiah J. Lynch granted an in- junction against the school boards action and announced to the pub lie that the board had no power to give away its property.
 "The citizens were afraid that if tho school board was not checked in its generous career" said The Mon tsna Labor NezUs, expressing relief ac the quashing of the trade, "the next move would be a trade of the high school for the Big Ship, an old com pany boarding house abandoned Is years ago, and that in the trade there would be release from all damages t. the high school"

Lack of Planning IsPeril iltoNation,
 Fleming Asserts
Nothing Yet Done To Pro. vide Jobs After Shooting Stops Declares EVA
 Chieftain

General Philip E. Fleming. a soft-spoken but unusually capable army man, who made an outstand- ing record as chief of several gov ernment agencies and is now Fed eral Works Administrator, this week returned to a war that is close to his heart-a fight for planning now to ease she pains of conversion from war to peace.
 He protested that states and com munities which should be making preparations to provide jobs for mil lions of workers are pursuing the primrose path of procrastination, , while at Washington legislation which might be helpful in meeting the prob lem gathers dust in congressional com mittee pigeonholes.
 Fleming recalled that 20 years ago this summer, as the first World War was entering its final phase. Franklin K. Lane, probably our greatest Secretary of the Interior, called for a program of public works, to provide jobs at the end of the conflict.
 This advice, Fleming declared, was disregarded. Congress, he added, was more interested in economy" and got it, but in a very short time unem- ployment was mounting throughout the country.
 "For the last two years," Fleming said, from the same office used by Secretary of Lane, I have been preaching his gospel. It remains to be seen if history will repeat.
 Peace, if it came suddenly to- morrow, would find us no better prepared to provide jobs than we were November II, 19l8."
 There is no basis for a widespread belief carefully fostered by those more interested in economy than in the welfare of human beings Fleming declared, "that the states and local communities have prepared blueprints of vast public works pro groms, so that Federal assistance isn't needed.
 'sIt just simply isn't true that state and local communities are getting prepared for peace,' he asserted. ssMost of them haven't even begun to get ready to start. The great municipal programs you read about, in most instances, are nothing more than lists of good in- tentions.
 Tn my opinion, there must be Federal stimulation of planning if we are to have a real public works pro gram ready on time. This is a Fed eral responsibility, for the problems of the postwar period, including that of full employment, are national prob lens that only concerted national action can solve"

To keep up the purchasing power of those who are forced into idleness, interim placement benefits" are set up, ranging from SIP to $35 a week, with most jobless war workers receiv- ing the higher amounts.

These payments are substantially more than are provided under state unemployment insurance laws or the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act. The Federal Treasury would make up the difference between what is allowed under those laws and the sums payable under the Kilgore bill.
 Ex-service men would be treated much better than under the ''C. l." bill. Veterans who are single would get $2O week while jobless; those with one dependent, $25; with. two, $50, and with three or more, $35.
 Many other benefits are provided
