Homecoming GI Finds
Wife, Son Frozen 10 Death
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARSHALL, N. Oak. Nov. IT,
The homecoming of Corpi. William
s. Myers from overseas service with
the Army was saddened yesterday
by the finding Of the frozen bodies
OF his 24-year -old wife and their
small son, victims of a snowstorm a
week earlier.
Discovery of the tragedy was de-
layed by the belief of Mrs. Myers
parents that she had left their. ranch
home to meet Corpl. Myers. Search
was not started until her ditched
automobile was found Thursday in
the Missouri River foothills country
of the Elbowoods Indian reserva-
ton.
Sheriff Charley Wheldon said Mrs.
Myers apparently attempted to carry
her son to shelter. The boy would
have been 3 years old yesterday. The
bodies were found a half-mile from
a farmhouse and a mile and a half
from the abandoned car.

Substitute Bill Offered
On Reorganization

A substitute for the pending Gov
ernment reorganization bill, which
its sponsor, Senator Smith. Repub-
lican. of New Jersey, argues would
give President Truman wider powers
to streamline government. will be
considered by the Senate this week.
introduced with the support of
other new Republican Senators, the
Smith substitute suggested that the
President send any reorganization
plan to Congress and that legislative
machinery give it prompt considera-
tion in House and Senate.
The administration asked that
Presidential reorganization plans be
effective at the end of 60 days un-
less both Senate and House vetoed
them.
Senator George. Democrat, of
Georgia told Senator Smith that
Congress never would be able to
reorganize the Government to any
extent. The gray-haired Georgia
Senator told of his experience in
trying TO revamp Federal bureaus
and agencies.
The moment you grab one of
these executive children or even
grandchildren and say you propose
to do anything to it, the whole
bunch comes up here and protests" 4"
Senator George said. IF they don't
drive a man crazy, they at least
take up SO much Of his time he
can't get anything else done"
Despite lack of interest in Con-
gress, Senator Murdock, Democrat,
of Utah, sponsor Of the pending
bill told reporters he expected the
Senate to defeat the Smith substi-
tute and dispose of all other amend
ments early next week, -
This would send the reorganiza-
ton plan back to the House, which
has passed a measure differing in
many points from the Senate bill.

MORE COOPERATION WANTED

iET is NOW obvious the war against Germany
will not be won quickly and that many of the
goals for ammunition, military equipment, ships
let cetera must be raised to meet the needs OF
more intense fighting in Europe and in the Pacific
We are committed to responsibility that has
suddenly become more difficult. 1t is high time
to make cooperation on war work more effective.
Fortunately, legislation recently became effec-
tive centralizing responsibility for both war mo-
Utilization and reconversion in single office. Since
the executive order of October combining the
|Office OF War Mobilization with the new office,
the necessary reorganization Of all the war agen-
cieS coming under the office has. been in progress.
Planning of war production as well as reconver-
sion will now be under this new office.
By law an advisory board representative of
labor, industry, agriculture and the public, is pro-
vided AS this board is kept advised of the de-
velOpment and changes IN war production needs,
its members will be in position to report back
to their respective organizations and Jointly work
out plans to increase output to shift facilities
to new or modified models. When there is need to
shift the work force to production that has sud-
denly become greatly needed, unions can best get
cooperation for such shifts because they can best
guarantee protection for the rights of other
workers.
The Federation has from the beginning urged
that our effort be organized to facilitate CO.
operation between private organizations and the
government so that accumulated experience could
serve the nations needs. 1t would be well now toI
take stock of all existing war agencies for the pur-
pose of making adjustments that will facilitated
more complete cooperation.
We as nation are willing and ready to makeI
the sacrifices necessary to win this war, but it'll
makes vast difference whether we know theI
reason for the sacrifices and make them volun-
tarily or whether they are imposed by executiveI
orders and regulations.
The way forward will not be easy, but there
will be less of hardships if each group of citizens
accepts responsibility and cooperates to the fullest
extent. We hope the Administration will facilitate
such cooperation

WAGES AND PRICES

ITO RETELL the inglorious story of Tabor news"
as it has been handled by some of the leading
dailies in the country ever since FDR came to
power would involve the economic history of our
country and the world during the past twelve
years. Suffice it to say at this point that if the
dalies published under the auspices OF the most
prominent and influential newspaper chains had
tackled labor news as fairly" as their editors
would have us beeve-this war would not have
happened.
You may wonder why we are dragging the
war into this-but all you have to do in order
that you may be able to judge soundly is follow
the news on wages and prices during the past four
years and on the controversaries that were caused
by those two factors-that is, read the stories in
the daily press and then go down to your neigh
borhood grocer.
You will discover that to put it mildly, the
competent reporters employed by the big news
paper chains did not seem to be very competent
or reliable when hey failed to inform you that
wages had not risen commenSurately with prices
OF course you knew this all along-mainly be-
cause your weekly pay envelope told you the story
and also because your labor newspaper reported
it honestly and courageously

CIVIL SERVICE COMMITTEE
SUGGESTS POLICY FOR
VETERANS EMPLOYMENT

Chicago (ILNS). - Recommends
tions designed to protect the interests
of war veterans in entering or return
ing to government employment, as
we'll as the public interests in the con
tinuing of sound civil service, are
contained in a report Of a committee
ON veteran employment policies sub
mitted to the Civil Service Assembly
of the L. S. and Canada.
Issued as an aid to merit system
administrators in shaping their poll
cies on the subject of'yeterans' prefer
ence in public service, the recommen-
dations called for the adjustment of
administrative policies and procedures
of public personnel to facilitate vet
oran rehabilitation to the fullest ex-
tent possible.
The committee urged that en-
ployees on military leave be rein
stated or reemployed in former posi-
tions or in similar positions, and
stressed that they be given all rights
and privileges they would have re-
ceived had they continued in their
civil positions, including pay raises,
credits, etc. Employees dis
abled during military service should
whenever possible be fitted into jobs
for which they are qualified.

LABOR MUST BE ALERT

7 ABOR MUST defend it's right to unemployment
IL insurance. This hard-won right can easily oe
nullifed by an anti-labor administration OF our
unemployment insurance systems.
Unemployment levels may reach ten to
twenty millions. We must be prepared for heaVy
unemployment when it comes, by maintaining
administrative procedures which are fair to labor
1t is true, of course, that the unemployment
insurance provisions as they now stand are IN
adequate in many ways to meet serious unem-
pOyment.
Many domestic civil service and war workers
are left unprotected by the present laws. 1T is
possible also that even with the heavy taxes PAID
into the funds from high war wages the drain
upon these funds in a period of heavy unemploy-
ment would make them insolvent
In many states the benefit rates are far too
low to allow decent support for man and his
dependents while unemployed In spite OF these
serious weaknesses, the greatest threat to un-
employment insurance comes not from the IN
adequaces of the statutes but from the growing
unfairness with which they are administered
In many states variety of devices have been
developed to keep people from obtaining their un-
employment benefits. For example, workers have
been required to accept lower wages than they
have been receiving or foregO their benefit rights
If they move to another state in search OF Jobs
for which they are fitted they may also lose their
benefits. In one state, West Virginia, this has
already happened The court has decided that a
worker who will not accept a job in that state
cannot draw benefits for which taxes have been
paid This decision, in effect, ties workers in
West Virginia to the West Virginia labor market
In Ohio the BUG has denied union members
unemployment benefits because they would not
accept jobs at non-union wages 10 accept such
unemployment worker is compelled to abandon
his union membership.
These practices of state administrations haveI
increased the solvency Of state unemployment in
surance funds at the expense of the workers.
They have not, however, fulfilled the purposes of
the Social Security Act. Unemployment insurance.
systems were not established to maintain solvent
funds, but to help the unemployed.

NEWSPAPER HORSEPLAY

TOR ABOUT 10 years the metropolitan news
papers have hammered Franklin ID. Roosevelt
and the members of his family. No opportunity
was ignored and no incident was too small for the
newspapers to smear the President either directly
or through the members of his family
And very few newspapers have been too small
to print any little smear which came to Their
notice. Next to organized labor the President has
certainly taken a beating from the press, which
likes to be known as the fourth estate.
Recently, however, the press dived to a new
low. Most newspapers have such low standards
they hardly StoOp, but some of the better ones
have really lowered themselves in the effort to
smear the President The idea seems to be to take
a crack at him, dsregarding ethics, decency and
journalistic decorum.
The first story about his dog was printed last
year when he went to Hawaii and the Aleutans,
and even with the surfeit of news available now
space can always be found for story about that
dog, even several days running.
And then there was the dog of one of the
soldier sons of the President, which was shipped
by plane Boy, how the papers did hop that one.
But none OF the papers print stories about mill
tary officials joyrding in bombers, and it is safe
bet you didn't read in the papers anything about
the Generals Christmas turkey riding around in
bomber. 1t did, however; in fact it made round
trip.
The pettlness and peevishness Of our press
probably accounts for the lack of confidence on the
part Of the readers
Enlightening too, is the fact that FDR and
members of his family appear to be bothered prac-
tically not at all by what the newspapers have to
say about them
Which, after all, is good thing for the coun-
try, because with our war on his hands, we could
mt win if he paid too much attention to subversive
distractions.
