r WANT to talk about one of the war Jobs
i that we have to do and are going to have
before us for many, many months. I am speak,
ing of the question of the unemployment of
servicemen in our organization. The only
thing want to do this evening is to outline
70 you the broad aspects of the policy that
think you should follow. That policy divides
itself very simply under three headings.
"In the first place, there is the attitude we
should have towards these returning men
and women. am going to try to characterize
that attitude and know shall not do it ade-
quately, but am going to say that the first
characteristic of that attitude should be that
we naturally want to welcome those veterans
back We will be glad to have them back We
appreciate what they are doing for us in their
service, and the first thing for us to express
to them, in the deepest sincerity, is the fact
that they are welcome back.
1.-The second characteristic of our attitude
should be naturalness. Our attitude should
not be one of curiosity 1t certainly should
not be sentimental.
"After all, what those men want and what
they certainly are entitled to is that we help
them to become again self-supporting civil
ians. That must be our goal-to help them be-
come civilians and self-supporting
"You men know as well as do the diff
Guilty of the transition from civilian to army
life and you know that it is almost as difficult
10 become q civilian again after you have
been In military service for a long time. just
chat job itself is difficult enough.
1.-The thing we have to try to help them do
~ to become seH-supporting They do not
want charity, God knows They do not de-
serve 30 little They deserve our help to be-
come seH-supporting again.
The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1944-04-24

$50, to sum up, the first point in regard to
returning servicemen is the matter of our
attitude. Let us make it human Let us make
1t healthy. Let us make it natural Let us not
have any Sentimentality. Let us make it real
istic and natural and warm.
TINE second point, think, is that when
= this man comes back we must sit down
and talk with him. First we must study his
previous record with us. What did he do be-
fore he went away? What position was he
In? What kind of fellow was he? That is
the first thing think we should know.
THE second thing think we should know,
and this is more difficult to get, is the mans
record and his experiences while he has been
in the service. We will get fragmentary rec
ords from the services. At recent meeting
in New York heard that the Army was not
going to put out detailed medical informa-
ton They may change that, but at any rate
we can get some records. But more difficult
yet is to find out what happened inside that
man, through his experiences.
Sand the next thing we should determine
Is what does this man want to do? What kind
of work will he fit into best? What would
make him the happiest?
Il just want to cite you couple of EXAM
Piles to illustrate the difficulty of the task be-
fore us. will take couple of extreme cases.
You are going to have some men who, at
your factories or branches, were performing
some rather unskilled tasks. Maybe the man
was young warehouse man. Maybe he was
in the repair department Possibly he worked
In the service station. He got into the Army
or he got into the Navy. He got good training.
He was under good commander and some
thing within him clicked and he went ahead.
He was promoted. He went into further train
The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1944-04-24

ing He went to school, became an officer He
did well. Let us say he was under fire and
distinguished himself in action
He comes back to you captain, major,
even ieutenant-colonel Now, what are you
going to do with that man? There is part Of
your problem That is part of what you have to
think about, what we all have to think about.
Now let us take reverse case. Here is n
man who perhaps was young factory fore
man, or an Office manager, intelligent and
fine fellow He was unfortunate in the service.
He did not click. He had discouraging time.
Maybe he had experiences he could not quite
adapt himself to, could not quite get up to.
He comes back to you not as good man as
he was when he left you That is possible.
What are you going to do with him?
Those are two kinds of cases. There win
be an infinite variety and think, gentlemen,
one thing this problem is going to require is
that you give these men your personal atten-
ton. You cannot put these men through some
kind OF wringer or machine You are going
20 have to see that these veterans are treated
as they deserve to be-
TIME third point is that, when You have
= gone through the process of inquiry,
you have the question of where you are go
ing to put that man. Does he need training7
Has he been injured? You will have to have
some rehabilitation training and there are
lot of problems involved which am not 60
ing into this evening because all that will bs
taken up with you in detail later.
"The thing do want to leave with you 10
the fact that those men were and are Har-
vester men. They are Americans who served
their country They fought for us, they served
for us and they deserve the best that we have
got know you will give it TO them"

TO ENFORCE USED
CAR CEILINGS
I'm MARYLAND

Overcharges amounting to approx
mately $4,000 have been refunded
ny dealers through OPA price panel
action to used car purchasers within
he past five months, the State officer
Of Price Administration announces.
The drive to stamp out hidden
violations" of ceiling prices on used
cars is aimed to protect purchasers
from unfair overcharges and honest
dealers from unfair competition.
Typical violations which have been
found, according to Mr.. Thomas Il.
Barrett, Jr., Chief OPA Enforcement
Attorney, are the requiring of time
payments when purchasers wanted to
pay cash, illegal sales at warranty"
or guaranteed price; trade-in being
required as a condition of sale; side
payments being demanded (Which
would not appear on the certificate of
.ransfer) and low-cost cars being
sold at high-cost car prices.
The enforcement drive will con-
linue, Mr.. Barrett said, until compli-
ance with OPA Regulations proved
satisfactory. At present, enforcement
officials are interviewing purchasers

concerning violations of this regula-

New Year Greeting

4 saw the hills Of the morning,
The form of the new year arise;
He stood like statue adjoining
The world with background Of
skies;
There was courage and grace In his
beautiful face,
And hope in his glorious eyes.
II come from Times boundless for
ever"
He said, with voice like song:
Il come as friend to endeavor,
! come as foe to all wrong,
To the sad and afraid bring prom
ise of aid,
And the weak I shall grid and
make strong.
II bring you more blessings than
terrors,
bring you more sunlight than
gloom,
l tear out your page of old errors,
And hide them away in Times
tomb;
l reach you clean hands and lead on
to the lands,
Where the lilies of peace are in
bloom"

u. Of Md. To Return
To Semester System

Final approval has been given at
the University of Maryland to the
change-over from the quarter system
to the semester system, the change to
go into effect with the summer ses-
sion of 1945 when a regular six
weeks summer session will be offer
ed, it was announced last week. A
full semester term will open in the
fall of 1945.
The quarter system was adopted
in July, 1943, in order to coordinate
the civilian curriculum of the Uni
versity with that of the Army Spe-
cialized Training Program unit which
arrived on the campus at that time.
The present quarter system will be
continued to June, 1945.
With the departure of the last unit
of the AST's and the ASTR's at the
end of the present term, the quarter
system will no longer be necessary, it
was explained.
Tke return to the semester system
will bring the University of Maryland
calendar in line with that of many
other colleges and universities. Also
the change is expected to eliminate
the need for the four graduation ex-
ercises per year now being held, and
return to the University the tradi-
tional February and June gradua-
tions.
