Pleading for planning now,

with war output even on the eve
Of the invasion, Thomas said:
Besides the need for planning and
coordination, the war has taught
us that labor participation is es-
sential TO the orderly conduct Of
a production program"
The whole question OF recon-
version from war TO peace pro-
ductiOn breaks down into four
main points, Thomas stated:
"D Reconversion In the limit
ed engineering sense; y dispOs-
ition or utilization Of war prop
erty; 81 contract termination,
and ~ demobilization, or what
some call the human side"
Reconversion should be handled
as outlined in the Baruch-Hancock
report, Thomas said, with special
care to estimate cancellations in
advance. the industries affected.

leased"

washington, May % Flece-
meal action on the problem of
reconversion Of war industry
won't do the postwar job and
won't help war output either,
the heads of the three u. S.
labor bodies told the Senate
this week.
The telling was done In a
ioint letter to all Senators
signed by Philip Murray for
CLIO, William Green for AFL,
and Julius Luhrsen for Rail-
way Labor Executives ASSN,
top body of the Railroad Brother
hoods.
The Joint letter was sent as a
result of hasty Senate Military AZ
fairs Committee action in approx
ing one bill. the Murray contracts
termination bill IS 171S), which
carries no provisions to take care
Of the problems of demobilized
servicemen and war workers.
The three labor leaders ap-
proved Sen. Kilgore's ID, w. VaJ
bill IS 1921 which does carry un-
employment compensation and
other features that will help war
workers as well as war industries
in getting back to full and orderly
peacetime production.
"We especially regret the voting
out at this time by the Senate Mil
itary Affairs Committee OF the
Murray-George contract termina-
ton bill Is 171s) divorced from leg
islation dealing with the human
side of rehabilitation, and with
out adequate hearings on so serious
a problem" they said.
ASK UNEMPLOYMENT AID
Emergency unemployment COM
pensation for demobilized workers
and servicemen in the reconverslon
period is an indispensable part of
any overall legislation and should
not be sidetracked to another COM
mittee for separate consideration.
The letter made the same point
that Pres. Murray made I'm his
testimony before Sen. Murray's
subcommittee last week-that
any program for reconversion OF
war industry must take I'm not
only industry's needs but also the
needs Of the demObilized war
workers.
Murray pointed out at that time
that reconversion was not alone a
postwar problem, but also a proo-
lem that affected present war out
nut. since uncertainty about future
plans was visibly affecting workers
and industry alike.
HUMAN PROBLEMS
EVERY consideration Of equity
and sound economics demands q
single integrated piece of legislation
which will take care of the human
problems of rehabilitation at the
same time that 1t provides for the
security of business enterprise" the

Founders Eye Enables 1t

Studies Of the winter founder
prove that the eye of this fish is
the organ which enables it to take
on the color of the sea bottom on
which it lies, in order to deceive
prey. When the head of the fish
was placed against a black back
ground, its entire body turned very
dark, and vice versa, says Col,

The uncanny ability of this fish
to copy a varied background was
also shown by putting it against a

to make itself indistinguishable at
a distance of ten feet.
