simultaneously with the selection

Any man who may have been de-

Following Germanys defeat, the

Transportation Problem.
From these surplus pools the re-
duction OF various types OF, Army
personnel will be made. The num-
ber to be returned to civilian life as
no longer essential to overall Army
needs will be chosen from among
those with the highest priority

wait. To it wNl be transported
millions of fighting men, millions OF
tons of landing barges. tanks, planes,
guns. ammunition and food, over
longer supply lines than those to
Europe.
This means that most Of the
ships and planes that were used to
supply the European theater will be
needed to supply the Pacific theater.
The majority of ships proceeding to
Europe will continue on to the Pa

for that distant campaign. Very
few will turn around and come back

therefore, will not be able to return
all surplus men to the United States
Immediately. 1t may take many
months.
No Pacific Surplus Units.
While the process of selecting and
returning men from the European
theater is taking place, the plan
for readjustment and partial de-
mobilization also will be applied in
active theaters. like the Southwest
Pacific. Individuals in those the
aters will be declared surplus to
the extent that requirements can
be provided. Naturally, since the
Pacific will be the only active the
ater, there will be no surplus units
of any type. Military requirements
there will demand an increase
rather than a decrease in fighting
units. Nevertheless. troops in the
Pacific area will benefit by the re-
duction of the Army, not as units,
but as individuals.
Commanders in the Pacific area
will be told the number and types
OF men who can be replaced. They
then will select these men, using the
same standards as apply in inactive
theaters and in the United States.
These men then will be returned to
the United States as rapidly AS re-
placements of the same type become
available and as the military situa-
ton permits

will be great flow of men needed

The readjustment and demobiliza-

Jewish Home Action

WASHINGTON. Dec. 8 (INs)
Resolutions calling for unre-
stricted Jewish immigration into
Palestine by reversal of British
policy were being held up in Con-
gress today by administration
request.
The request, according TO mem
bers of the Senate foreign rela-
tons committee, was made by
Secretary of State Stettinius, now
engaged In a quarrel with the
British over Greece and Italy.
/ Both Democratic and Repub-
lican platforms had declared for
unrestricted immigration and for
a national Jewish home in Pales-
tine, and President Roosevelt, in
a letter to Senator Wagner ID
Of New York. Oct. IS, endorsed il.
The President was reported "a
take the position that he could
make better progress In opening
Palestine TO homeless European
Jews through direct negotiation
with Prime Minister Churchill OF
Great Britain than by passage OF
a congressional resolution.
The possibility that the United
States might not want to offend

hold large oil concessions, also
was advanced.

SEPARATE ELECTIONS

Another new proposal. which
might we'll come before the new
Congress, would be 10 reorganize
the nations election machinery
so as TO provide independent bal
loting for vice president, instead
of combining the vice president
with the president
In other words, instead OF there
being one contest between Roose-
welt and Truman. as against
Dewey and Bricker, there would
be two contests; Roosevelt against
Dewey and Truman against
Bricker.
The value Of such system
would be that in cases when the
vice president actually does Sue
coed TO the presidency, the new
president will himself be the
specific majority choice of the
people. just as much as was his
predecessor. II is not now the
case on all occasions.

Changes Galore Asked
In New Congress Bills
But No More Than Usual Slated
TO Pass, Observers Report
By FULTON LEWIS JR.

States TO certain actions or
policies, the Congress is auto
matically authorized TO carry out
these actions or policies. even
though IL has no such powers
under the Constitution.
For example, If we make
treaty with Canada, agreeing TO
limit our national production OF
farm productions and petroleum
to certain specific levels, Congress
would have the power TO arbi-
trarily control the planting and
production by every farmer in the
nation and the output of every
well, even though ii now has
neither power under the Constitu-
ton. f..
To permit ratification of a
treaty by simple majority vote Of
both branches OF Congress would,
therefore. be 10 permit the equiva-
lent of a constitutional amend
ment by that simple majority,
whereas a legislative constitu-
tional amendment requires two
thirds majority OF both houses
and ratification by three-fourths Of
the State Legislatures.
When the Constitution was be-
ing written. some of the found
ing fathers wanted 10 permit
ratification of peace treaties by
a simple majority of both houses,
while requiring two-thlrds ma
jority for all other treaties. The
reasoning was that a simple ma
jority OF Congress can declare
war, so a majority should also be
able TO declare peace. There might
be some possibility Of an amend
ment OF that kind, but that
wouldn't satisfy the extremists.
The ends they seek 10 obtain
could not be included in a simple
peace treaty.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-The
crop of proposed constitutional
amendments awaiting the new
Congress is more luxuriant than
il has been in many decades.

History has demonstrated that
any party. Democratic or Repub-

begins to cut corners with its
conscience when IL remains too
long in power. and the thesis that
competent presidents are so diff
ficult TO find, that once we get
one he ought 10 be retained ad

NEITHER WANTS 1T
But the unhappy truth is that
neither major party, at heart,
wants any such limitation, which
Is why nothing has ever been done
about ii. nor will be in this pres
snt movement.
There are, however. some new
propositions in the current crop,

serious consideration. and may
even become part of the Constitu-
ton. Some have merit, some are
pregnant with dangers.
Among the latter is the loudly
teuted but only half thought pro-
posal to end the requirements Of
two-thirds vote by the Senate
for ratification of treaties, and 10
substitute instead a simple ma
7 rrity vote OF both houses.
= AFRAID OF OUTCOME
The inspiration behind that
comes from hyperthyroid en-
thusiasts on international affairs,
who are possessed with the fear
that their own particular concep-
ton OF what our postwar inter-
national affiliations should be,
cannot command the support OF
two-thirdS OF the Senate.
For those who adhere to the
policy OF burning the house 10
get rid of mice in the pantry, the
suggestion may have its appeal.
To the average Joe Doakes II
seems overdrasttc and unrealistic.
II, with the realities OF war
staring the nation in the face,
the public is so divided in its sup
port of a given plan that the
international program can COM
mand support OF only bare ma
jority, the chances OF maintaining
that majority support in the lulled
and complacent days OF postwar
peace are infinitesimal indeed.

cal demagogs begin playing

routine of life Of mans best friend
has been seriously upset.
Meat rationing hit him, owners
turn their pets loose to forage for
the food they can't spare them
selves and the hungry dog on the
loose goes after rabbits, squirrels,
chipmunks, and, besides, they as
sociate too much with each other.
All this makes an ideal situation
for the development of rabies, or
hydrophobia, and is, of course, a
direct danger to man, especially
in the summer months.

vania town which prompted me to
call attention to the matter.
'Since a clean up of stray dogs
is going on, and several dogs have
shown rabies, l suggest a discus
sion of the proper treatment in
suspected cases Doctors do not
seem to be alert to the danger.
Two Fatal Cases
"My own little boy died sud-
denly last fall. He was bitten by
a neighbours St. Bernard through
the lip. This was in June and the
doctor said anti-rabic treatment
was not necessary. The boy be-
came suddenly sick in November
with commissions and fever and
died "a hours later. l have since
heard Of another case, a lady who
died very suddenly and the cor
oner said it was the result of a
dog bite on the lip received six

Rabies affects all mammals and
cases have been reported from the
bite of skunks. wolves, cats and
squirrels, but the responsibility of
the spread Of the disease to man
rests mainly on dogs. Dogs are
very susceptible to infection, man
