Normal Veterans
Cincinnati Enquirer


 We're not reading so much these days about mental ailments purported to result from military service. There was day when certain social groups were telling us that virtually all the men who re- turned from combat duty would be mental cases that them back to the same bright, normal fellows they were when they went away
 It would be foolish of course to discount the fact that front-line service has contributed to many a nervous or mental breakdown. But the vast majority of the lads who Altering back through Eastern seapors these days essentially the same as they were when they sailed from those ports a couple or three years ago. They little older great deal wiser and generally poised and self contained But their minds clear and keen, their faces dont twitch and they don't yell "Kamerad' in their sleep.
 Armchair psychologists had field day not so long ago telling us ordinary citizens the things we must do and must not do when soldier boys came home from the wars We were to be happy and smiling always We weren't to put too many questions. We weren't to bring up matters which might start Hood of horrible memories in the veterans minds. We were, in short to act as little like we'd want to act as possible After few months of that treatment, they advised us perhaps we could ask Bombardier Bill if he'd ever shot down any Germans. And Ii the first question didn't make him throw fit we could pursue them a little further.
 The boys we talk to laugh and laugh at such suggestions They know they're normal and they hope we'll act as if we They do have lots Of good tales to tell but of them don't think their overly thrilling Today after it's over in Europe they remember best the episodes which the funniest not those which the most tragic.
 Nothing psychoneurotic about that!

The court therefore in its words foud itself in the position where if it adopted those theories, it would today be obliged to sustain the order of the Collector distrainng the plaintiffs product because not labeled oleomargarine and then tomorrow might be obliged to sustain the order of the Commissioner of Food and Drugs dstraining the product because it was labeled oleomargarne.
 The court on March 30, last, handed down somewhat helpless decision saying that the Federal Security Agency charged with the administration of the Food and Drug Act ought if possible to be made a party defendant herein at least afforded the opportu~ty to into this case in order that all interests might before the court and all parties heard before it is determined which if either of the conflicting orders is lawful and enforceable"
 Judge Wilkins could not refrain from this more prosaic observation
 Such is the natural outcome of regulation
 by unrestrained and uncoordnated admin
 istrative orders instead of by principles of
 enacted law When different administrative
 agencies are empowered by Congress to make
 rules and regulations applying to the same
 subiect-matter, there is bound to be conflict
 and confusion If such conflicting orders are
 absolute and must be enforced, property is
 in effect confiscated without compensation

BUREAUS

Out in Ohio there is a company known as Butler Food Products that makes-or rather made "soya butter This was composed exclusively of soya beans and other vegetable products It was analysed by the Federal Security Agency and found to be whole some and nutritious To make and sell such a product might seem at first glance harmless and, in these days of food shortage, rather bene- fcent ambition
 But Federal bureaus apt to take different view of such things MT Butler of Butler Food Products began get letters First he got dated October 3l 1922 from the Assistant Federal Commis sioner of the Food and Drug Administration telling him that whatever else his product might be- it was not oeomargarine and could not be sold as oleo- margarine But then came letter to MT. Butler dated November 13, 1922 from the office of the Collector of Internal Revenue telling him that according to the analysis of the Treasury Department his product found to be oeomargarne and that therefore he must pay tax on it as oleomargarine and must label it oleomargarine.
 He got nowhere trying to explain his difficulties with one agency to the other. Each told him that what the other agency said did was no concern of theirs. So in spite of a heavy presumptive de- mand for his product, he unable to offer it for sale.
 In desperation he took the to court to try to get an order restraining the Collector of Internal Revenue The case came before Judge Robert N. Wilkins in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio Counsel for the Collector argued that the sections of the code under which the Collector acted gave him express authority to de- termine what was oleomargarine and to tax it, and issue dstraint against any dealer who attempted to

Results of the resident Alaska cannery workers election have been reported from Ketchikan by Russell R. Miller, director of elections for the National Labor Relations Board.

NAVAL TRAINING

While most of the Navy's opera tions have shifted to the Pacific, one of it's most important though unheralded jobs is still being per formed along the Atlantic coast the training of pilots and carrier personnel. Seventy per cent of all carrier personnel in the Pacific have been trained under Fleet Air Quonset," the Massachusetts head quarters for training on the At lantic coast.
 Murky weather frequently exist ing along the Atlantic coast is more similar to the rainy monsoon weather around Tokyo, and carrier personnel have to operate in bad weather as well as good
 Chiefly responsible for the Al job of carrier personnel training are Commodore Gordon Rowe and Vice Admiral Patrick Bellinger. They are now working to stream line the use of planes for training purposes, in order to keep as many planes as possible working every minute.

PASSING THE BUCK

One reason for the terrific Sem atorial blasts leveled at the Army recently on reconversion and re- lease of men is the constant and deliberate run-around given to the Senate by War Department off cials.
 The Senate Military Investigat- ing Committee members recently figured out that brass hats sum- moned to testify before them have a regular set of football plays" that they use in order to dodge Senatorial questions.
 The favorite brass hat play is known as the Bucking Half Back play. The witness is asked a ques- tion by Senator. He pauses, looks anxiously to the left and right to the numerous brass hats who &C., company him, fails to get any assistance, then turns back to the 1 legislators and says:
 We just don't know the answer to that one, Senator But with your help, we'll find out"
 Senators describe another favor 1 ite as the Statute of Liberty play i fashioned after the old Notre Dame trick of concealing the ball. When a brass hat is asked an embarras- sing question, he replies with a carefully phrased answer intended to arouse another Senator to ques- tlon the meaning Of the first Sen ator. In this play, the two Senators get into a tremendous argument between themselves with the wit ness trying to act helpful, but actually sitting back delighted.
 A third play. one of the most frequently used. Senato's call the Lateral Pass The witness, being asked a tough question by a Sen ator, replies:
 We don't have that information with us today, Senator, but we can get 1t in several oays. I'll be glad to send it up to you and have t entered as pat of the trans cript." The Senate. tan do little { but say Yes" Generally, by the time the answer does come up, the committee is working on an en- tirely differen; subject and the reply goes unnoticed.
 The fourth play is known as the Straight Buck Pass. A brass hat tells the Senator that whateve.' was done was done at the re1ues.. ot

The W ashington Merry -Go- Round
fContinued from Page Onej

the Summer White House in h. dependence, Md, close friends of the Truman family found it all most impossible to contact them except by mail.
 Six Secret Service men who "lurked in the White House bushes" !" as the town folks put it, stopped anyone who attempted to reach even the front porch of the Tru- man home at 2l9 North Delaware Street. And every time the First Lady or her daughter Margaret would drive to the town square or appear on the streets, Secret Service men shadowed them.
 Folks in Independence didn't like this. Resentment ran nigh. After all, commented some of the citi- zenry, the days of Quantrill, Cole and Bob Younger Missouri bush whackers who headquartered near Independence and rode with the James gang were over. Independ- ence wasn't like what it used to be-
 Eventually the First Lady learned about this sentiment and it's al- most a daily occur ence now to see either Mrs. Truman or Mar garet on the streets unshadowed Anyone who cares to can stop and talk with them

The public didn't know about 1t at the time, but last fall typhoon caused U. s. carriers to lose a dis astrous number of planes, many of them swept off carrier decks.
 Result was that planes used for training had to be rushed from the Atlantic to the Pacific. De- spite this, however, the intensive training program continued at top speed.

WEDNESDAY,, AUGUST 8

This is not an important day in planetary government. Benefic as poets rule aviation and preSage add ed fame for our sky heroes. HEART AND HOME
 Adverse or retarding planetary in fluences affect women under this sway. The time is unfavorable for important decisions and good for self analysis. The seers stress the importance of example. They coun- cil care in choosing or following so- cial patterns of prewar days.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Many college men and women who appreciate the independence of a farmers life will seek land, espec- ially in the South and West where they can apply science to all branch es of agriculture. There is a sign that seems to presage collective farming in this country but it should not interfere with individual suc- cess.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 If the stars are rightly read, groups, usually unpopular, will try to segregate themselves just as pre- judices regarding race or religion are disappearing. Astrologers pro- phesy that danger lies in these inde- pendent movements.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Neptune which rules the Socialis- tic and Communistic forces, will have great influence in reconstruc- tion. What happens this year will have lasting influence and that means double need for great wisdom in readjustments of governments and division of territories in Europe. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of prosperity but it is wise to watch the budget.
 Children born on this day pro- bably will have colorful careers marked by many changes in en-I vironment.
