should dispel any fears that workers as class are given to maingering. MT. Altmeyer comedies that in some places there has not been effective teamwork between the U s. Employment Service and the State compensation agencies great deal of that friction has grown out of the failure to agree about what constitutes suitable" employment It is in those communities where unemployment exists alongside un- filled vacancies that such criticism is most apt to arise Mir Atmeyer offered sound advice to the State en- ployment security administrators, whom he was ad- dressing, by urging end to mutual recriminations that dscredt both the Federal and the State agencies He also emphasized the heavy responsibility resting upon State administrators in Interpreting the pro- visions governing qualifications for payment of bene fits and called for development of Statewide policies in controversial issues insure consistent and equit able handling of individual cases.

NOT LIKE CHECKERS

Some people seem to think that the million and three quarters idle workers claiming unemoloy- ment benefits could find jobs if they wanted them They base their belief the fact that in many com- mln es labor shortages exist and applicants not forthcoming to fill them Such reasoning leads to the conclusion that the system of unemployment insur- ance is demoralzing and that the employment offices likewise are badly administered. Chairman Altmeyer of the Socay Security Beard has tried to dispe such misconceptions by pointing out that workers are not like checkers who can be moved from one square to another in the twinkle of eye" As he stated in recent address, "They human beings with widely varying skills and experience and personal situations The aim not to provide worker with just any job but to find for him suitable employment that utizes his skill most effectively That is the task of the public employment offices.
 Mir Altmeyer presents some very telling statistics in support of his belief that workers prefer jobs to unemployment compensation. For example, although 6 or million jobs have been wiped out since VJ-Day only million claims for benefits are pending More over about 35 per cent of the workers who have filed claims since VJ-Day have left the claims rolls and taken iobs in some before they had drawn any benefits. That is very encouraging record that

Imperial Preferences
Washington Post)

Washington Post
 The chief stumbling block remaining to be over come before loan to Britain be taken up in the current talks in Washington with the Keynes mission is the issue of Brtans imperial preferences These are special agreements within the British Empire pro- vidng for reciprocal tariffs and other privileges for trade The result of this twotarf system is to dis crimnate against the goods of non-Britsh nations. Sometimes the arrangements are called the Ottawa system so-called because those arrangements were systematzed at Ottawa in 1882 at British Empire conference There has been any disgusting American opposition to that system violative of equality of treatment, but the British backed the agreem nts rposte to Americas Hawley-Smoot tariff of 193O Of late another argument has been offered their support, namely, that the so-caed sterling blcc Ga group of nations whose exchanges linked to the pound sterling by clearing agree ments and the system of imperial preference to- gether constitute Great Britains chief weapons in her struggle to recover her warshattered foreign trade
 No doubt the British would be willing to close the bilateral sterling bloc agreements If assured of the financial aid essential to the carrying of their trade a muti-lateral basis. The imperial prefer ence system however, is a difficult thing and the British feel that the progressive abandonment of it can be bargained only for specific reductions in the American tariff This is problem, of course for the empire countries well Great Britain. But while the difficulties, political and economic in the way of relaxation of the imperial preference system are great, there is both in Great Britain and the Domin- ions a large body of opinion favorable to changes In fact, the Ottawa agreements of 1882 which gave permanency to the system of imperial preference have been source of constant friction between the mother country and the Dominions. Hence there is good reason to believe that opportunities exist for legotiaton of agreements that will reduce though remove the handicaps to table with the Brit sh Empire growing out of the system of imperial reference. This will doubt increase the volume of world trade It has been proved that trade thrives pest in an atmosphere in which there is the minimum discriminatons and preferences The benefit of ingle tariff system throughout the world is enjoyed by all countries.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER Is

This is an uncertain day in plane tary influences and should be devot- ed to routine matters. It is favor able for planning and for decisions.
 HEART AND HOME
 Women will be forced to deal with many of the stern realities of life. They must be mentally poised and strong to bear responsibility, accord ing to the stars.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Astrologers warn that there may be a tendency to overdo in many lines of economic adjustment. Danger lies in good intentions, and avoidance of too much relief in pen sions and other well-meant safe- guards for the unemployed is im- perative.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 President Truman comes under a configuration which seems to pre- sage stubborn Congressional opposi- tion to certain of his plans but the stars indicate that he will win in major matters of national policy. He comes under promising signs in l946.
 INTERNAIICWnL AFFAIRS
 Many evidences indicate that Un- cle Sams velvet glove must be re- moved so that he can use his iron hand in directing defeated foes, Clever forms of sabotage are fore- cast Graft will be common among Germans and Japanese entrusted with reconstruction tasks.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of upheavals of many sorts. Domestic differences may cause concern.
 Children born on this day probab- ly will be endowed with artistic tal- ents. Love of ease may retard proper development.

ARMY HOARDS DOCTORS

While civilian areas are crying for doctors, Gen. Norman Kirk, Surgeon General of the Army, con- tinues to keep doctors and nurses doing next to nothing. Here are the facts regarding Seventh Army evacuation hospital in Germany:
 Though it has capacity of 400 patients, the hospital averages only 64 patients daily. But it keeps 276 doctors, nurses, and enlisted men hanging around to care for these 64 patients.
 For each 10 patients there are four doctors, five nurses, and 32 enlisted men-all getting into each others way.
 Average cost of taking care of these 64 patients is S45,47l21 a month. Based only on pay and ra- tions for hospital personnel, one patient costs the taxpayer S23.6a day.
 It actually costs six times more to handle patient today in peace than it. did during combat. This is because so many doctors and nurses have to sit around doing nothing. They would much rather come home.
 Meanwhile, Surgeon General Kirk maintains 18 evacuation hos pitals in the Seventh Army alone plus l3 field hospitals, plus 5 sta tion hospitals, convalescent hos

Davis of Tennessee insisted during the secret debate that better men would be available on the $l-a-year basis
 You set this up as full-time commission with a $15,000 salary and every lame-duck in Washing ton will be coming around trying to get an appointment. This com mission is too important for po- litical appointees," he said.
 But Alabamas Sparkman stood pat.
 What you will get" he warned, lis a commission of members who fly in from New York or Chicago once or twice month to sign a pile of papers the administration has drawn up for them. You're really handing atomic authority back to an Army administrator if you defeat this amendment"
 Sparkman also spoke at length of the importance of having com- missioners with no royalties to pri- vate ccmpanies-men dependent on no one and determined to guard the interest of the American people
 Leader of COP opposition was Charles Elston of Ohio, who ob- jected most strenuously to letting Truman get a chance at filling another group of high-paid jobs.
 Are all members to be from one party?" he asked.
 Sparkman answered Elston's fur ther charge that a new bureau cracy would be created by pointing out that if the committee were to vote for a single administrator it would create one of the most powerful bureaucratic jobs in all Washington.
 But his arguments were of no avail; the vote against his amend ment was l2 to 6.

City Councilmen here hold their second scheduled November meet ing tomorrow evening-but, to date, no one is just sure as to what they'll find to talk about outside of routine business.
 However, if the members of the Common Council hold up to the pace they have set through most of the year, they'll undoubtedly come up with some little matter that will keep the discussion right furious through a long stretch of the eve- ming.
 Then again, Mayor Ernest Parsons may be right. Maybe it'll be just a quiet session.

ATOM DEBATE

Last weeks ciosed-door session of the House Military Affairs Con- mittee was one of the hottest. It involved the atom bomb.
 Hard-hitting Representatives Chet Holifield of Los Angeles and John Sparkman of Huntsville, Ala, had managed during the previous week to win committee approval for several amendments liberalizing the Atom Control Bill One provided that administrative power over the bomb should rest with the atomic commission, rather than with an Army controlled administration.
 Proposed but not adopted was another amendment to cut the size of the commission from nine to seven and make each member a full-time atomic energy commits sioner instead of a S1-a-year man .whose chief royalties would be to the private company paying his salary. Chairman May limited secret debate on the latter amend ment to half an hour. during which Spsrkman and Holifield did their best-even though facing solid lineup C Republicans.
 In addition three Democrats also opposed the amendment-Carl Dur ham of North Carolina, Cliff Davis of Tennessee, and Bob Sikes of Florida They were fearful that a $15,000 job as commissioner would not attract the best possible men. Durham, incidentally, is sold on the idea of having men prominent in private industry or education serve the government in consulta- tive capacities.
