The three-day hearing before a fact finding panel of the
War Labor Boards ShipbuHding Commission was completed
Thursday and out of the maze of evidence taken from the
parade of witnesses during the three-day period the full six
man Commission will arrive at a decision.
Let's keep the record straight on this hearing:
First, it will, in the opinion of the board members, take
anywhere from four to eight weeks before the Commission
renders any decision or directive as a result of the hearing
This is routine procedure, and approximately the same
length of time is taken in all such hearings. The testimony
has to be typed and assembled, and the many pages OF ts-
timony, and documents in support of it, studied and weighed
by the Commission before any decision can be reached.
Second, according to Jack G. Day, vice-chairman of the
Commission, who presided at the hearing here, the Commits
sion does not have the authority to grant a Union Shop except
where such Union Shop agreement has existed previously
Then, Mr.. Day said, the duration clause covers the right
to reopen the contract insofar as a Union Shop is concerned,
and "the October 8, 1913 directive of the Commission closed
that part of it, Therefore the Commission does not have in
its power under any circumstances the right to grant the local
Unions a Union Shop.
The hearing here was solely to inquire into whether both
the unions and the company had complied with the October
8, l943 directive, which denied the application for the Union
Shop and directed that the company look with favor on the
Unions an durge new employees to become members of the
union, and the operation of the grievance procedure under
terms of the existing contract,

Peter Pan Thrills
Sykoro
Trio Next Feature

Following an afternoon per-
Torrance before a capacity. audi
ence of appreciative school chill
dren. the Clare Tree Major Chill
dren's Theatre staged a repeat
presentation of Sir James Bar
rie's beloved Peter Pan" to a
delighted gathering Of all ages
at the Pascagoula High school
auditorium Thursday evening,
March 8. The play was sponsor
ed by Entertainment, Inc, as a
part of its winter repertoire Of
cultural programs.
II is difficult TO offer an adult
critical appraisal of Peter Pan"
because the play was conceived
for the young of heat and in
these sordid times the only young
of heart appear to be those who
are young in body. too. The spir-
1t of the story was aptly express
ed by Pan himself when he tells
Wendy that fairies are born when
a child first laughs and the
laughter falling to the earth
breaks into a million pieces and
every piece becomes a fairy. In
this mood alone could the impos-
sible adventures of Peter and the
lost boys be accepted.
Much of the illusion was lost
by the limited lighting facilities
though the sets were ~colorful and
in keeping with the fantasy.
The under playing of the hui
nor in the Darling home as not
ed in the first and last acts was
in the best British manner and
the dryness of the wit was not
attuned to the u. S, funny bone.
The cast performed with pro-
fessional assurance but seemed
just a bit bored with the whole
thing except for the character Of
Michael, ably childlike, and glee-
fully portrayed by Francis Ed
wards.
Audience reaction to the eve
ming performance seemed to vary
in enthusiasm in ratio to age.
The kids and their elders who
wanted to be kids for a while
had a wonderful time.

@. 1 was discharged on February
"a, 1943 by a of Sec. III, AR.
615-36O and CDD." Will you explain
the meaning Of this. / will soon be
az years of age. Is there any way
l can volunteer for service in the
occupational forces? - S., Rogers
vile, Tenn.
A. This means that you were dis
charged under section 2 of the code
governing discharge of veterans and
"CDD" means a certificate of medi-
cal disability. In other words, o
were discharged for a medical dis
ability of some sort. The nature Of
your disability should be stated on
your discharge. Yes. if you can pass

ing volunteers for the occupational
forces.
@. How many points does a father
of four children have who has been
in service since last October "a and
across since July?-Mrs. r. B., Uh-
richsville, Ohio.
A. The army point rationing sys-
tenn as of September 2 gives l point
per month for time in service, l
point per month for time overseas,
IL points for each child under Is
years with a maximum of three,
and 5 points for each decoration or
battle star. If your husband has no
decorations or battle stars, he would
have about 81 points. At this time
30 points are necessary for dis
charge, although the army has an
nounced discharge for 70 points by
October l, go points by November
l and elimination of the point sys-
tenn later in the winter.
@. 1 am writing in regard to a
soldier killed in Germany who made
his insurance to a lady who raised

mother came and claims she should
get his insurance. Which one is en-
titled to the insurance?-Mrs. T. G.,

lotment or allowance from the

Ayes, providing your brother

@. If a member of the regular
marine corps extends his enlistment
while overseas and the extension has
n more year before expiration, will
he have to remain overseas until the
expiration, if he has been over
seas 20 months?-Mrs. W. d., West
Memphis, Ark.
A. Not necessarily. The marine
corps has set up a rotation for re-
turn to this country after 10 months
service overseas. Extension of his
enlistment would have no bearing
upon the time he spent overseas.
The chances are this marine will
return soon for duty in the states.

Veterans Administration

Gen. Omar Bradley, new boss Of
the Veterans administration sue
ceeding General Hines, has moved
with military dispatch in reorganiz-
ing the administration to provide
better and more efficient service in
behalf Of the stream of veterans
now being discharged from the serv-
ices.
One of the most important
changes made by General Bradley
is a complete decentralization of all
veterans facilities under the super
vision Of Is branch Offices. Obvious
ly routine decisions can be made
more promptly and more intelligent
ly in a vast organization such as the
Veterans administration if they are
not forced through a bottleneck in
Washington.
Another change, n which had
long been a subject for discussion,
and ofttimes of criticism, was the
medical service. The general now
has separated and elevated the
medical division to a higher status
under command of Maj. Gen. Paul
r. Hawley. Under this new arrange
ment, the new surgeon general will
report direct to General Bradley.
The Veterans administration Is
combing the government agencies
and other channels for help and
likely will emerge in the postwar
era as one of the largest if not the
largest governmental agency, han
ding as it will the affairs of some
II million discharged veterans at one
time or another. The administration
has recently been the object of both
congressional and private investiga-
ton as to conditions within the or
~ganization, conditions at Veterans
hospitals, treatment of patients, the
tremendous shortage of physicians
and nurses and other help and
no doubt, it will be General Brad
ley's policy to eliminate immediate
ly all situations which led to these
Investigations.

Jesse James Was Killed on Day
Schroeder Arrived at st. Joseph

George Schroeder, ST., 81.
came to the United States from
Germany in 1882. He arrived at
st. Joseph, Mo-, on the day Jesse
James was killed. He saw the
outlaws body exhibited in the
market square.
At Is he came to Omaha, went
to work for a real estate firm of
which his uncle, Louis Schroe-
der, was a m e m e Young
Schroeder helped to lay out
Brown Park Addition in South
Omaha and two other additions
near Vinton Street.
Those were the days of the
boom, when a lot in a cornfield
sold for five thousand dollars.
The biggest deal Mr.. Schroeder
ever made then or afterward
was the sale of his uncle's cor
ner at Sixteenth and Leaven-
worth Streets for 30 thousand
dollars.
He made a five hundred dollar
commission, which would have
been three times that much at
the present 5 per cent commits
sion rates.
Present prices can't compare
with boom prices, Mr.. Schroeder
will tell you. Promoters took
prospects out to their additions
b e d four -mile-a-m minute
horses. No thriving addition
was more than 10 minutes from
the real estate office.
Then came the panic. There
were no real estate sales. No
money. Little to eat. The rich
people who wore high hats and
went about in coaches, would be
glad to borrow a dollar. And a
dollar went a long way, said Mr..
Schroeder.
The real estate business didn't
really begin to come back until
1900. Building and loan associa-
lions helped make this a city of
lone owners, said Mr.. Schroe-
dc" They have helped build as
! as sell hundreds of homes.
