 The Germans appeared 10 be wheeling their remaining tanks into a stockade-type defense line simi- lar to the covered wagon cordons once used by American pioneers and massing their rifiemen. machine gunners and artillery behind that barrier.
 The bulk Of the Nazi forces were concentrated near the southern rim of the pocket, however. and there was a possibility that the desperate enemy might hurl his entire weight against the Allied perimeter there 5n a iast-ditch attempt 10 break through 10 Paris
 Headquarters sources predicted, however, that any such attempt would be crushed with bloody losses 10 the Germans, since they now are so heavily engaged on all sectors that they have little or no Oppor- tiInity to regroup on the scale ne- cessaFy for a successful break through.

America. tn eRev. J. Donnelly problem shelved for time by the war, Is the problem Of unemploy- ment. With almost ten million un- employed when we started to pre- nare for war economists today csu- mate that American industry must be prepared to provide jobs for al- most twenty million more workers than it employed at any time in peacetime.
 SIMPLE ECONOMICS
 It is simple economics that the man in the street can understand to say that We cannot have jobs without industries that arc producing. that We cannot have industries that are producing without having the pro- duets of these industries consumed used up and bought up by the pub- lie, and that We cannot have the public buying without the money with which to buy. without purchas- ing power.
 So employment is directly related to the power Of the people Ho buy and to buy not only the essentials of their needs but to buy many of the extra things that they want, the lit- tie luxuries that we like to think is our American standard Of living And as employment is directly pro- portioned to the buying power Of those who will use the products so the buying power depends upon the jobs available to the workers. Neither can stand without the other and the balance between the two which We have tried so long and SO unsucoessfully to achieve is what we need for prosperity.
 DARK THREAT
 Today we have almost 55.000 900 workers deVoting their energies to n war economy, 20.000.000 Of whom are directly in war work, Most Of fheas 55OOO. 900 plus l0.O00,0OO sery- icemen will want to work even after the war But with the end Of the var a great part of the 5000 900 will be unemployed during the per- tod Of the change to peace produce ton. and then if we follow the pat tern of the past some of them will be gradually absorbed and We shall cont1nue in our limping economy with our old and unwanted compan- ion. unemployment.
 We hear of the great stOred-ur needs of the people, the things they need and have not been able to get during wartime. We hear. tOo-and

too much-of the great savings that have been laid aside, the great pur- chasing power that will be ready for postwar spending. The first Is real as the needs of millions of Ameri. cans has always been too real. The second is somewhat true but un. fortunately very much of a dream.
 Yet without that purchasing power we shall fall very deeply Into our well-worn rut of depression. tn. less the people have money to buy when the industries are ready to produce peacetime goods our days will be more sorrowful than any oi those Of the thirties.
 GOOD MORALS
 Right here according to good moral principles it becomes the duty of the State to step in and do tho things which individuals either can. not or will not do to protect the common welfare. The State must keep up that purchasing power until it is able to keep itself up.
 To date-and the hour Is late-the State has done nothing except pro- tect industries with provisions for contract termination and make some provisions for the returning soldiers who. incidentally. will not be looking for a dole but for a job. But for the workers and their problem in the conversion period no provision has been made
 THE KILGORE BILL
 However. two proposals were made which should have been getting dur. ing the past two weeks a thorough discussion by the reconvened but absent Congressmen.
 The first was the George Bill which provides unemployment bene- fits according to the decision of the individual states with the provision that Federal funds will augment state unemployment insurance funds. This measure seems wholly inadequate in the light Of the meager provision of many of the states and the unenlightened social character of many state legislatures
 The second was the Kilgore Bill the provisions Of which the Com- monweal summaries as follows:
 Tt provides for unemployment compensation varying from SEQ to S35 a week from six months to two years according to the individuals social security rating and the num- Der Of his dependents. The bill would pay war workers transportation ex- penses to new jobs up to $200 and six months benefits of from $50 to sl0O a month while training for new work. One provisions calls for the study of annual wage plans ."
 On Friday. however. the States Rights" senators of the South were able to push through the Senate the George Bill with a few additions to the original but still a measure wholly inadequate and needing con. siderable revision.
 Today the United States is faced with the greatest transformation task in any nations history. The problem won't work itself out. Il must be solved. Organized labor con. cerned with the welfare of the work, CTS had heartily endorsed the XII. gore Bill. To its opponents its maiT bad feature was that 1t would creats in Washington another huge cen, tralized bureaucracy. They would bl more foresighted if they look [, what will happen in Washington i we have the threatened depression in which millions Of war worker and soldiers find that they canno get jobs.

 public realize that the general him. self had undergone abnormal strain ln battle.
 The second vas when he made an impromptu speech in a British can. teen before the invasion and as. serted that Great Britain and the United States were destined to rule the post-war world. The army later amended patton's speech Co include Russia. After that the public heard virtually nothing about Patton.
 For days the German radio had been limiting that Patton was lead- ing the motorized offensive which broke out of the Cotentin Peninsula. sealed off Brittany and then swerv. cd north from Le Mans to envelop tens of thousands of bewtldered Germans.
 Admission At Last
 But not until today did supreme headquarters admit that Patton was twirllng his pearl.handed revolvers at the head of the American third army. This, said Eisenhower at his advance command post in Norman dy. was where Patton belonged.
 United Press War Correspondent Robert c. Miller reported from France yesterday that he had found the American general In command of the maneuver. lie couldn't mem ton his name but the words the general used bore the Patton copys right:
 Hell, this is more of a rat race than a battle"
 Its just a case Of we're moving too fast for the Germans" the gen- eral said. They simply refused to believe that we could cover the dis- tances we have in so short a time. "
 While he spoke. infantrymen were trudging down the road to consoli- date behind the tanks.
 Mad Co Fight
 Those men marched 27 miles yesterday and probably will do as much today the general said. They're mad and ready to fight"
 Then he sat back in his scout car with a grin of satisfaction and said:
 Tn all my ls months of combat, I've never seen an operation as pretty as this one"
 Patton was in the midst of some of the toughest fighting in North Africa and Sicily-f fighting in which his driving offensive spirit and flaming will to victory helped his men over obstacles of terrain and enemy opposition.
 We here in London heard that Patton was in his element tn France, with a new pair of gleaming tank boots added to his snappy, self-designed uniform. beaming over his after-dinner cigars in an ticipatlon of the trap he would set for the Germans.
 He had a formula for licking the Germans:
 "All you have to do with those buns is drive them mp one hill and kick them down another all the way to Berlin"

Here's the record and the analysis ON what
Congress has done during the past few months.
1t shows YOU what your Representatives and your
Senators have done issues affecting you and
the nation.
These issues concern your pocketbook and
your living standards.
Some deal sVith your union, your right
as an American citizen to vote and take
political action, your right to expect fair
and democratic treatment from your gOu-
eminent.
Still Others deal suith the welfare of
young men and sconsen very close and dear
to you-your sons and husbands, your
daughters, your friends and felIoso-soorkers
and neighbors scho are In the fighting forces.
All of these issues directly affect the war and
the postwar world you will live in-by their
impact ON your democratic rights, by the CON.
tribution they make or fail to make to world
unity now and after the victory.
The final liberation of Europe and tho
world from Axis slavery has begun. The great
blows from the west, the south and the east, and
I'm the Pacific, are now being delivered against
the fascist enemy.

Job as a citizen concerned with

IL Is not by itself a complete

1t is a record, but it is not the

A great deal of work in Congress is
done in committees which consider and
shape bills before they reach the floor.
A great deal Of work is done by Con-
gressmen and Senators talking to each
other, both on the floor and off 1t. Con-
gressmen also have close contacts with
various government agencies, and seek
to influence their administration Of
laws and policies.
