Red Cross: mo Organization is
Helping Service Men More"

NO organization in the European
theatre Of operations is helping the
service men more than the Amerl-
can Red Cross"
These are the words of Lieut.
Marvin Oakland of Glasgow, Flying
Fortress pilot and veteran OF "a
missions over enemy territory in a
letter he has written to the valley
county chapter Of the Red Cross he
says:
L have Just returned from Eng
land and l would like 10 tell you a
few of the things that the American
Red Cross is doing for the service
men.
When We returned from a mis-
sion we were served fruit juices,
coffee and sandwiches. After several
missions we were sent TO rest homes,
which were old estates taken over
by our government and operated by
the American Red Cross. Here we
enjoyed boating, golfing, swimming
and various other entertainments
which were free of charge.
The charge for officers was 80
cents per night, 80 cents for oreaK-
fast and so cents for lunch n u
ner. In all cases where there was a
charge, the enlisted men paid one
half the amount that the officers
were charged.
I'm the cities, the American REQ
Cross took over large apartment
houses where the service men could
rent rooms and were served good
food at the same price as the rest
homes. AT good entertainments
where seats were hard TO secure, the
Red Gross would obtain a certain
amount of tickets. Here We were also
served good American coffee and 1t
was the only place we could get a
coke.
Each state has a clubmobile
where coffee and doughnutS are
served free to service men. At the
,own of Norwich 1 saw our Montana
,lubmobile parked by the road with
all four tires off.

CHICAGO WORKERS
BACK WALLACE

Chicago (ILNS). About support
for Henry A.. Wallace has been an
nounced by the Chicago Federation of
Labor.
Speaking over the federation's radio
station, VIGIL, the "Voice of Labor"
on an official broadcast, the new
streamlined Labor Flashes" program,
Lou Scofield, labor commentator, de-
clared that "each day the American
people realize more fully that their
fate is bound up" in the fight for Wal
lace; that it is ga fight for the future
of their country"
In kilograms signed by John Fitz-
patrick, president, and Joseph D. Kee-
nan, secretary, of the federation, the
central body, acting for approx
mately 100000 members of our offili-
ated local unions and their families"
urged Senators Scott w. Lucas and
G. Wayland Brooks of Illinois to "fa-
vor approval of Henry A. Wallace's
appointment as secretary of COM
merce."
The Wallace controversy has been
described by Thomas L. Slater, evec-
utive board member of the federation,
as "a clear-cut fight between the
American people, headed by President
Roosevelt, on the one hand, and special
interests on the other"

cumstance to what is "just around the
corner"
For, draft or no draft, the services
are going to get the nurses they need,
and that is exactly as it should be.
But what happens when professional
help is gone and trouble comes?
What happens in about SO percent
of cases is that nobody knows what
to do and mama and papa go plumb
panic stricken.
The crime of this situation is that
people haven't been taught the simp-
lest things in the category of what
to do in an emergency-or how to
nurse a sick person in the home.
Sure, there have been Red Cross
classes in bedside care, etc., but most
ly these classes have been filled by
those who need them least-and Joe
and Jennie Anonymous face crisis
in the dark.
The big truth today is this: The
more you know about how to take
care Of yourself-how to keep from
getting sick, what to do until you can
really get doctor, how to keep from
getting hurt, the better chance you
have of actually staying alive until
things get back to normal.
How long will that be? Oh, maybe
two to ten years-and just which, no
body knows.
Here's an example Of what the sit
uation is: In hospital rated to care
for 500 patients, only six nurses are
rated as essential by the Nurse Pro-
curement Committee.
All the rest can virtually be ordered
into service for Uncle Sam, whether
they particularly like it or not. Just
six.

Senate Lining Up Against
May Bill AS Voluntary
ManpOwer Plan Gains

Washington, D. C-The Senate Mil
itary Affairs Committee was prepar-
ing to support compromise man.
power bill which throws out the COM
pulsory features Of the May bill,
adopted in the House, and retains the
voluntary principle.
Members of the committee have
come to the conclusion that there is
no real need for a compulsory labor
draft which, on the other hand, might
endanger the American way of life.
Unshaken from this stand by Secre-
tary of War Stimson's sensational
radio speech urging compulsory legis-
lation, prominent Senators accused
Mr.. Stimson of attempting to die
tate" legislation. They said he had
exaggerated manpower shortages and
given the public an unbalanced picture
of production conditions.
Senator Harley M. Kilgore, author
of the substitute Senate bill now being
considered, predicted it's passage as
more and more Senators lined up
against the May bill.
Senator O'Mahoney, of Wyoming,
commenting on Secretary Stimson's
speech said:
"The Secretary tells the country
that we alone among our Allies have
not by law organized our workers to
equip the soldiers. He says, While
we have no service law, Britain and
Russia have been working under such
laws since the very beginning of the
war. We alone are depending upon
voluntary and therefore ineffective
methods of organizing workers who
are producing the arms and equip
ment.'
"For the exact measures of the Sin
effectiveness Of the voluntary system

ord of Lend-Lease to Britain and Rus

an example to the United States.

000,000,000 worth of ordnance air.
craft, tanks and other materials of
war. To Russia, exclusive of food
stuffs, we have supplied over $6,OOO,-
100000 of war materials.
"It would be a pity if the soldiers
on the fighting fronts should gain the
impression from what the Secretary
said on the radio that management
and labor in the United States have
let them down. Our soldiers have not
been let down by the people on the
home front"

This is intended as red hot warn
ing cry!
From health standpoint we face
major crisis and doggoned little
enough is being done about it.
Consciousness of the facts appears
to be limited to too few persons.
Our public authorities are to blame
for this condition and they ought to
have the tarnation tar laced out of
them for what is nothing less than
dereliction.
The fortunes of war are piling up
the totals Of wounded, so that medical
Observation-Disclosures and nurses-are
being taken in larger numbers than
seemed possible, even if to some they
did seem remotely so, a few months
ago.
Now, for the normal conditions Of
life maybe this isn't SO frightening. If
Johnny has tummy ache, let it ache
and he'll probably get well.
But that isn't the risk.
The risk is in the possibility Of cpl
denies.
Try to see doctor today-and
you'd better have friend if you don't
want to wait and wait and wait.
Try to get nurse and you'll just
keep on trying unless you own the
mint.

Still The Best System

If the American oil industry had ever
faltered in its production, what would have
happened to our war effort? In plain Eng
liSh, we would have been sunk.
The total crude oil production in the
United States for 1914 was 1878, 5000 900 bar
rels. That figure set new record, but still
was not enough to meet the demands of
the military forces of the United Nations
and support our own essential economy.
Fortunately, the oil companies were pre-
pared with millions of barrels of oil above
ground upon which we could draw.
Such a record is one reason why the
American people should have confidence in
free private enterprise which outstripped
the production of all the government-owned
or controlled oil properties throughout the
world, all of which can well remind us of
what Federal Judge Learned Hand of New
York once observed, Liberty lies in the
hearts of men; when it dies, there is moth
ing can save it." And this quotation was
echoed by a young American soldier who,
after fighting across weary miles of war
torn Europe, wrote his home folks he had
come to the conclusion that freedom is not
a right, but privilege for which almost
any struggle and sacrifice is worth while.

aries adequate for skilled teach
ers".
The house of representatives has
approved a bill which would permit
school districts to create q study
commission to investigate the adj
visibility of school consultations.
The bill, II enacted by the legisla-
ture, would legalize a voluntary pro-
cedure and would not compel
school consolidation where taxpay-
ers did not want it.
DR.. Elliott said the bill was pat
termed closely after a measure en-
acted by Washington state where
school districts have been widely
reorganized.
I'VE do not advocate the closing
of all one-room schools in Mich
igan," he added. Consolidation is
not practical in all cases, and it
should be effected only where ben
efits can be realized by the tax
payers in behalf Of their children.
1t is our hope that the one-room
school, even if abandoned, may
continue to serve as a rural COM
munity center to meet the social
needs Of the rural community"

We Day BoHIeneck

IF Prime Minister Churchill is right in
his recent prediction that "the war in Eu-
rope might well end before the summer
ends, or even sooner" industry in the United
States must Immediately check up, and
tighten up, its preparations to deal with war
contract termination in mass.
Based on cut-back of 20 per cent of
all our resources from munitions produc-
ton estimated by the outgoing Director of
War Mobilization and Reconversion, James
F. Byrnes, the first quarter after We Day
viii see the termination of $18 billion of war
contracts. Approximately 10000 business
establishments will be affected. About
100000 workers will have to be shifted
from wartime jobs.
The bottleneck of We Day reconversion
may well be the settlement of the 10000
prime contracts and 10000 subcontracts
which will be terminated during the first
three months. (The number will be increased
by half as many more during the succeeding
six months.) The mass of We Day settle
sments will be staggering load of govern
.ment accountability, out of which industry
! must recover its funds for quick start in
eRivilian production.
