Today i'm millions of American
homes, fathers and mothers are anXi-
ously waiting - hopefully, fearfully,
proudly-not knowing what the next
hours will bring. D-Day has brought
new hope Of liberation to millions in
Europe, yet to others it has brought
anxiety and lonely hearts.
D-Day began the decisive test of
arms. How men and nations receive
the news from the beaches and towns
of Europe will be the decisive test of
faiths. For this is Il war of faiths as
well as IA war Of arms. We will need
the strength of spirit inside ourselves
that will carry the nation forward TO
greater and greater effort, no matter
how hard the blows fall on each one
Of us personally.
In these days of waiting the stark
realities of life and death tear down
the man-made barriers of money, class
and race. Men who have opposed each
other in bitter industrial battles, stand
silent, strangely united by their com
mon need for understanding, for peace

Golden and Keenan, also cited the
experience of the British people. "The
British have found that vacations for
workers are essential to efficiency on
the job" they assert I'm the first year
of the war, vacations were suspended
at the request of government. The eff
feet on production was found to be so
adverse that in 1911 and 1942 the gov
ernment announced that there must be
no relaxation of effort but in order
that the national economy may be con-
tinued, holiday break S should be
allowed"
Vacations should be planned by man.
agement in consultation with appro-
pirate collective bargaining agents in
the individual plant, where they exist,
the bulletin stated, "in order that full
use may be made of suggestions from
employees on how to schedule vaca-
tiOns so as not to interfere with the
continuous operation of war industry"
Golden and Keenan, also pointed out
that 1T is important that worker not
be encouraged to waive his vacation in
order to receive his vacation pay as
additional income.

about reducing taxes and reshaping
some of The Administration rules that
govern taxes, the job is still principal
~ "hot air" Government costs will
probably run between 20 billion and -
billion dollars II year after the war.
OF course that will be less than any
wartime period. Nevertheless, the
figure Is twice as high as prewar costs,
The political authorities of the ma
ton are furnishing the figures, but the
business and civilian interests of the
country must not boost their expecta-

10000 Discharged
Veterans Go Into
Industry Monthly
Report On Situation Made
By The Office OF War
information

A report on discharged veterans of
the present war and what is being
done to place them in civilian jobs has
been issued by the Office of War In
formation. The report was based on
information from the United States
Employment Service of the War Man
power Commission; the Veterans Ad-
ninistration; Selective Service; Army !;
Navy; and the Office of Vocational Re-
habiltation Training, Federal Secur-
ity Agency.
HighIights from the report are:
Discharged veterans of the present
war are entering industry at the rate
of approximately 10000 per month.
The majority are going into war pro-
duction jobs.
More than $4,000 veterans of the
present war We're placed in civilian
jobs in February and March, 1914, by
USES.
Veterans are seeking jobs different
from those they held before entering
the services Only 20 per cent of the
veterans Of the present war discharged
through hospitals from May 1, 1910,
to the present have been returned to
jobs they held before entering the
services.
More discharged veterans of the
present war have taken war prOduc-
tion jobs than are hospitalized in
veterans facilities or have returned to
their old jobs. AS of March 81, 1914,
the Veterans Administration carried
llS.S39 veterans of the present war on
its disability pension rolls.
The basic rights for an honorably
discharged veteran, or Il veteran dis
charged from the armed forces under
honorable conditions, remain un-
changed: (D Right to his old job if he
wants ii and applies for it, GU right
to medical care, disability pensions,
and vocational rehabilitation training,
and CD right to assistance in obtain
ing IL new job.

Continue Inflution
Fight. Says Vinson
Declares Controls Must Be
Continued Until After
War Is Ended

Washington.-Citin the cooperation
of the American people in waging Il
successful battle against imitation,
Judge Fred NJ. Vinson, director of Eco
nomic Stabilization, in a talk before
the Association of Surgeons of the
Southern Railway System warned
against any relaxation in the fight.
"These controls must be continued
during the war, and for a sufficient
time thereafter to readjust to a healthy
peacetime economy" he said.
As evidence of the effectiveness of
the controls, Vinson pointed out that
it costs no more to live today than it
did II year ago. A year ago, he said,
it took IA dollar plus a quarter to buy
what Il dollar would buy before the
war, and 81 Lao for food. Today il takes
four less cents TO buy the same food,
he reported.
This degree Of stabilization has been
achieved, he said, with less economic
hardship among the civilians of this
nation than ever before" The health

than ever before, he said and also that
the farmer and of large and sma II
business The restraint Of the Ameri-
can people has been wonderful he
declared, citing war-bond purchases,
insurance, savings and performance OF
the chores accompanying ratlonng.'
Comparing the initiation fight TO
treatment for illness, he warned that
when the disease is about gone is often
the hardest time to prevail upon the
patient to take necessary precautions
The period of transition, he said, may
take Il number of months, during
which our industries must shift TO
of civilian goods Men
and women in the armed services will
not be Immediately available for in
duStrial posts; many skilled workers
who have migrated to war industries
will require time to get back home and
resume their normal vocations.
At the same time, the pent-up de-
mand for civilian goods will be enor-
nous, he warned.

of mind, for the answer to stunning
bereavementS.
What is the Immediate problem
that hundreds and thousands OF
mothers and wives are facing todayv
asked Daphne du Maurier, author OF
'.Rebecca,' as she tells in her book
''Come Wind Come Weather" how the
work of Moral Re-Arnament brought
new faith and courage to thousands
during the blitz in Britain. 1T is how
they themselves are to endure the
strain of anxiety while their sons and
husbands face danger every hour The
gods of materialism and the false
ideologies that men have bowed tc
have no power to heal and bind up the
wounds of nation. They are cold and
empty, heartless and inhuman, merci
less and cynical.
Equipment For Victory
Our fathers looked to one God foi
strength and direction - and built
America. Today we need their faith
not only to lberate Europe, but to free
hearts and minds from the paralysis
of anxiety, fear and loneliness, and re
lease the energies of all our people fol
the greatest efforts of AL time. The
days TO come will demand clear minds
strong hearts, true gision.
Our most cherished leaders will be
those who discover the way to become
fathers to the nation, in binding UP and
healing its deep wounds. Giving com
fort To the bereaved, and restoring
their hearts and minds with new cour
age to face the future, will take riches
of understanding and caring that
money cannot buy.
Such men will rise up from every
section of the nations life, men OF
moral stature and faith in God, who
put their country's welfare and des
tiny before any thought of self. Under
their leadership America can rise
above all misfortune, and 90 forward
morally strong and deepened in faith
to win the war, and lead all nations
into the sanity and security of hate
free, fear-free, greed-free world.

Bureau of Labor Statistics (of the Z.
S. Department of Labor of union con-
tracts i'm effect March 1, 1914, show
that the number of workers covered
by provisions for vacations with pay
is higher than the 100000 or GO per
cent of the workers under agreements,
which the Bureau had reported at the
beginning of 1913"
The bulletin pointed out that the
Army, Navy, Maritime Commission and
VINO in statement signed in July
1913 said that experience showed
granting vacations for war workers
was conducive to sustained produc-
sporadic absenteeism.'
Donald NJ Nelson, WPB Chairman,
i'm statement issued May 10, 1914,
asserted that there is great danger of
chronic fatigue and consequent loss of
production from increased illness and
injuries and decreased quality and
quantity of goods produced" and that
workers "need to renew their energies
and enthusiasm by period of relax
alton away from their working en-
vironment."
The War Labor Board in an opinion
of April Is, 1914, declared that reason
able vacation periods are even more
necessary as an aid to maximum pro-
duction in wartime than they are in
peacetime, the bulletin said, and has
ruled that it would approve compen-
sation for reasonable vacation periods
of Industrial workers.
The bulletin also pointed out that in
a letter to the Chairman of VILE
dated February 10, 1914, Director of
Economic Sterilization Fred Vinson
gave advance approval to wage or
salary adjustments ordered or ap-
proved by the War Labor Board which
increase the cost to the government of
a product or services" including the
institution or liberalization of vaca-
tion plans which are ordered or
approved by the board on the basis of
their conformance to the practice pre-
yailing in the industry in the area"
