need FOR JOBS
TO BE GREATER

WASHINGTON, June Il --R-I
After victory, says the Senate's
special postwar planning Commit
tee, business and industry in the
United States must employ to 10
million more people than have ever
been employed before in peace
time.
A report presented today by
Chairman George (D.-Ga.) estima-
ted that even if 2 or 3 million men
are retained in the armed forces,
full employment must be avail
able for between 54 and So million
people. Thic compares with the
pre-war peak of approximately 46
million employed, reached in 1929,
1887 and again in 1910.
This country never has had and
never will have real prosperity
without full employment" the re-
port declared, adding that the huge
number of jobs that must be pro-
feed presents challenge almost
as grave as the challenge of war"
Present employment in the
country was estimated at about
SO, 0O0, 600 persons, exclusive of
those in the armed forces. The
overtime work they're putting in
was reckoned the equivalent of an
additional 100000 persons.
After the war, the committe
said, 4 or S million of the war
workers will want to return to
school, or Withdraw from the labor
market entirely. Off-setting this, of
course, will be the veterans dis
charged from the army and navy.
The first six months following
final victory will see the greatest
accession to the civilian labor mar
ket, ''the report stated. Beyond
doubt this will be the most critical
portion of the. Transition period.
THE armed force will be de-
modified at rate of from 500, 900
to 900, 600 per month. All war pro-
duction will cease. This inevitably
will leave large pools Of unem.
ployed in war-boom areas, regard.
less of the overall national EN-
ployment situation"
The committee declared the only
answer to full employment pro
blem is "a much greater gross ma.
tional production than this countr,
has ever produced in peacetime.
The report listed Is ways IL
which it said Congress could hell
businessmen work out the bert SO
luton Of the problem, and it urges
that no extended congressional re
cess be considered until they ar

Players Attitude
More than the physical obstacles
to be erased, however. may be the
attitude of some Of the players who,
no matter how safe air travel
might be, won't leave the ground
even to make q flying tackle.
Sammy Baugh may have some
thing to do with this alergy to the
air.
Also, there is the element of air
sickness, as star fullback debark-

self his resignation, but he always
talked himself out of it until finally
his resistance was worn down and
one day he regretfully accepted the
writ of detachment. Telling him
self how he hated to loose himself
from the organization in that way
but if he thought he'd be happier
without the job, that was all that
counted.
Quick Time
Anyway, although it took him
seven months to reach that momen-
tous decision, he solved the travel
difficulties of the league after the
war in two minutes flat, fair time
for the half mile.
1.-THE league will buy one of the
army's big CAT air transports" he
predicted. "It will hire pilot, a
co-pilot, steward and two mainte-
nance men on a full time basis
and haul the clubs on all the trips.
One of those big ships can fly the
longest jump in the league in four
hours and the way our schedule is
arranged it will be no trick at all
to transport five teams on round
trips every weekend"
Mande1 however left unanswered
such questions as what would hap
pen in inclement weather, what
would be done with the ship during
the long off season, and whether
they should crate up stout Steve
Owen and stow him away in the
baggage compartment or take a
chance on letting him ride in the
passenger quarters.
At that, we think Mandel has
something in his idea, and that
eventually scme such plan will be
worked out. That is, that the teams
