 Actually, Drew Field has slow record for the release of men, Men with 70 points were supposed to be discharged beginning Oct l. but up until Oct lS only one man with 70 points had gotten out. Things moved so slowly that the War Department queried Drew Field to why they weren't releasing 70-point men and the one single solitary 7o-pcint man dis to reply that they were releasing men in this cate- gory
 Meanwhile men with 70 points are sti working in the Drew Field separation line pushing the dis charges of others because of the shortage of clerical help while typist Trippi with 4l points goes back to play fooball-thanks to the Secretary of War and the two Senators from Georgia.

End Of A Turncoat

The trial and execution Of Pierre Laval may have been
 traveSty the normal procedure Of French usce 6ut can anyone believe that the crime of Laval was of nature to demand or deserve that justice? The record of his mis- deeds written for all the world to in the history Of the war; and wildly in the lives and deaths Of French men who suffered through his treachery.
 Laval's trial was as Tom Wolf recently wrote rom Paris the revolution by law' which General de Gaue promised It was in the light of Lavals treachery iar and moderate trial for all the emotion which his goadng shrewdneSs called forth.
 It cannot be said Of Laval as 1t was of Petain, that France herself was on trial Petan confused bigoted reactonary and politically stupid old man. Ills mistakes reflected much of the mistaken peacetme thinking Of ms countryrnen.
 But Laval was an ambitious jackal loyal to no one but himself apparently despsed as heartily by the Nazis whom he fawed upon as by the people whom he betrayed HIS execution is triumph of justice no matter how rregulary that sentence may have been reached.

ROBOT WITH FEET OF CLAY

 Comparatively few of the millions who daily use dial telephones give much thought to the mechanical wizardry which routes their calls unerringly through miles of wire. They have a hay idea that each turn of the dial sends a different impulse to a huge switchboard, where 1t moves some trigger. When these have been moved in proper sequence e bell rings and, unless a finger has slipped or 2 number has been Tnisread by the caller. the cor- rect person answers. Just how 1t is done the average telephone user will leave to a Marconi, an Edison or an Einstein. When 1t doesn't work that way, he is at once pug zled and annoyed. Following the business lull in New York involved by a Friday holiday, too many calls came in at once and the mechanical marvel fell down. There was 6 sharp time lag on calls in six of the city's busiest exchanges, and many telephone users assumed that the dial system had failed. This was not the case. The dial system still Is a great robot; but 1t now ap- pears that even robot can have feet of clay.

TOO BIG FOR LOCAL HANDLING
(New York sun)

(New York Sum
 Attempting to bring an end to the stoppoge which has paralyzed the New York water front, Mayor LaGuardia put his foot in 1t. He found himself not in the position of dealing with 8 bona flde labor row, a strike designed to right labor wrongs, but of an attempt by Harry Bridges, president Of the radical International Longshoremen' and Warehousemen's Union of the c. l. O., to oust Joseph P. Ryan as head of the International Longshore- mems Association, an A. F. of L, affiliate. Because he appears to be embracing their cause, he is hailed by the c. I. o. group, but he only succeeds in bringing down on his head the condemnation of A. F. Of L. officials, who say that an "irl- filtration of communists into the A. P. Of L. will not be taken lying down. He has, perhaps unwittingly, played the game of the radicals and does not seem materially to have advanced the prospects of peace on the water front.
 The fault, however. cannot all be charged against the Mayor. He was understandably trying to halt a condition that is bringing dis" credit on the port of New York. If 1t is true that the the strike is most felt by hungry Europeans and soldiers anxious to get home rather than by New Workers, the fact that 1t is taking place in New York makes 1t the Mayors legiti- mate concern. But 1t is something that calls for more than local ir- tervention and the exercise of a Mayors leadership.
 This strike. like so many others, points the need for a national pol- icy which definitely will end juris- dictional strikes and so strengthen the machinery for dealing with other labor disputes that stoppages really will be a last resort rather than the first thing to which labor groups lay their hand. The public demand for such 6 policy Is mount ing steadily but 1t still lacks the leadership which 1t is entitled to expect from it's chosen representa- tives at both ends of Pennsylvania avenue. And especially at the vest ern end-at the White House it. self.

Coal production has reached so low point, and trans- portation systems have been wreck ed so thoroughly that Col. Boyd estimates at least five years would be required to put Germany on her feet industrially
 The principal problem confronting Allied administrators and technical men is to transform the Reich's war plants into factories capable of producing needed consumer goods, and, at the same time, get rid of machinery that might be used for the making of armaments. It's a gigantic task.
 Probably the worst handicap, and one which cannot be overcome with" in any practicable period, IS the shortage of coal. The Ruhr mines are now producing only 26 per cent of their 1888 output. There Is lit- tie prospect, says Col. Boyd, that any increase in coal production will find Its way into German industry as long as Germany must pay rep arations in kind.
 The Powers now in control of oc- cupied Germany should not be cor- cerned with the restoration of Ger man inurstry beyond the point to keep up the subsistence standard Of living agreed upon by the Big Three. The world has learned of what the Reich's industrial plant was capable at It's peak. The memory of its dreadful capabilities to pour out armamerts will finger throughout this generation. That threat to world peace must not be allowed to rise again.

 It seems the Army had decided even then that any war to come would be completely mechanized, and that smaller who could fit easily into planes tanks half- tracks and such would make the better, for the nation to have the West Point Cadets walking or at least longer lasting officers Bak said that was all right for battle but 1t no good for foot ball. that the height and weight limits would have to be lifted enough for him to have some tackles, ttl- backs and down-the-field ends and such people
