 However, to expand the func- tiOns of the military as proposed by this bill would be extending their control over the civilian economy by reason of the fact that the pro- curement and production needs of the military would continue dur ing peace.
 "We have heard enough about the inhexible military mind and the waste of abilities and skill in the armed forces during the war just ended, not to want to continue military domin- ance over our civilian pursuits. We have also learned considerable from our returning servicemen about the caste system that prevails in both the Army and Navy; a system that is re- pugnant to all of the ideals of Ameri- can fair play and equality"

fees of our fighting men. Neverthe- less, to the workers the war meant toiling long hours and often undesir- able shifts, living in crowded war cen ters, paying out the bulk of increased income in higher prices and sleeper taxes, and investing much of the re- mainder in bonds. On the basis of the record, veterans need have no doubt of labor's contribution to the cause of victory and freedom"
 Schwellenbach concluded by, warning that a successful attempt to alienate workers and veterans could lead to fascism in the U. S. 'We achieved victory" he pointed out, ''because we refused to be die vided into hostile groups either at home or among our allies abroad. We cannot afford to let ourselves be divided now by ignorance and misunderstanding. If we do, we shall be ruled by the same fear and distrust which paved the way to die tatOrship in Axis countries"

 The LAM head pointed out that compulsory peacetime military train ing of young men of Italy, Germany and Japan in the past 20 years "and the defeated state of those nations to- day, is living example" of the fal- lacy of thinking that such program means military preparedness.
 "We urge," AFL representative Hines told the Congressman, ''that decision on peacetime universal military training should await re- suits of final treaties and inter- national commitments and the out come of efforts to insure world peace."
 "The adoption of a compulsory mili- tary training law in this country" he said, may have far-reaching effects of an undesirable nature. During the recent war, for the worthy purpose of national defense, we saw nearly our whole civilian economy brought under military control which made civilian needs and welfare subordinate to the

Five Million Discharges Hit By Dearth o
MONOGRAPH NEEDLES

Consumers Union comes up this month with the second installment of tests and ratings on So-called perma- nent photograph needles. Heading the list published in Consumer Reports, with coverage and tests as yet incom- plete, is the Aeropoint "88" ($1.50) outranking the Fidelitone (50c to SD in treble response (ability to transmit the very high tones) and in causing a minimum of record wear.
 With respect to the heated con- troversy over jewel vs. Metal tips, GU is not able to make any sweep ing generalization at this point in the tests. Ratings were based on performance, without regard to the material. Of the eight Acceptable needles tested so far, however, only one-the poorest-had jewel tip.
 In the Acceptable class, the best needles were good for more than 1,500 playings and the poorest for less than 500 playings. Among the Ac- ceptable needles were Aeropoint "88',, :, Fidelitone and Victor One Grand.

Your Dollar
 By CONSUMERS UNION
ELECTRIC IRONS

Seven brands of electric irons have made their appearance on the market and have been tested and rated by Consumers Union in the current issue of Consumer Reports. Many of the major brands are still among the missing, however, and you may have to wait while be- fore you can get the particular one you want.
 All the irons tested were of the 1000watt, AC, automatic type, all were light weight (three to five pounds), all had temperature regu- lators, all had good cord sets and none, with the exception of the Steam-O Matte, involved a shock hazard.
 The Sunbeam IrOnmaster and Westinghouse (Cat. No. LPC-3l4C) topped the list of Acceptable brands.
 2-YEAR PEN
 The highly-publicized miracle" pen-the Reynolds International which guaranteed to write for two years without refilling and to write in the stratosphere, under water and on cloth, cannot be depended upon for good performance under ordinary writing conditions, Con- sumers Union tests revealed. None of the three pens tested gave lines of consistent color or evenness, ac- cording to Consumer Reports.
 Advantages of the pen: It doesn't leak or drip when shaken, writing dries at once and does not require plotting and can be used to paper which blots with ordinary ink. It is still too soon to rate the 2-year guarantee.

Some Firms Hide
 Earnings, Says NYU Professor
Conservative L. H. Haney Admits Evasion Aims At
 Unions Wage Demands

NEW YORK-(FP)-AdmissiOn that some big corporations try to conceal their actual profits for fear they may have to meet union de- mands for a decent wage came this week from Dr. Lewis H. Haney, economics professor at New York University.
 Biting big chunk of the hand that usually feeds him, the -conserva- tive professor told a meeting here that annual reports of corporations to their stockholders have tendency to con ceal good earnings by setting up ex- cessive reserves and by covering up inter-company relations.
 ALWAYS FAILED"
 Haney said, however, that cor porations couldn't help fooling around with their books, explain ing:
 ''This tendency is shOrtsighted but likely to be prevalent at times such as the present, particularly in view of the way in which govern ment and the unions are trying to take profits away from superior enterprise. It has always failed, and has done harm to private enter prise in the past"

More Vets Getting
 Unemployment Pay

WASHINGTON (LPA) = Re turning war veterans are finding in- |creasing trouble in obtaining jobs with lonly 5,000,000-half the number to be discharged-expected to be mus |tered out by the end of the year, the Commerce Department reported last week.
 Job opportunities have constant ly decreased and the full impact of |the new millions of discharges on the labor market is still to be felt, according to the December issue of the departments monthly publica- tion, Survey of Current Business. 'ssDespite the fact that peak separa- ltiOns had not occurred and that many veterans already released were not seeking work, difficulties i'm reabsorption had begun to emerge during September and De- tOber," the publication said. It was recalled that Army surveys made during the summer and fall showed that at least 75%o of the dis charged veterans will be job-seekers. ! The Commerce Department report emphasized that "The increase in the humber of veterans receiving com pensation for unemployment, together with the widening gap between apph- cations for placement in jobs through local offices of the U. s. Employment Service, reflect the occupational shift Ting now under way and the changed relationships of applicants and job op- portunities."
 SUPERSENIORITY
 Meanwhile the long-debated question of superseniOrity still waited on a defnitive court deci- sion with several test cases pend ing throughout the country. The Justice Dept. has failed to produce lam interpretation of Selective Serv- lice Memorandum 1904 which has been construed by Selective Service Director Hershey as permitting the s'bumping out" of veteran war workers by returning servicemen regardless of seniority. Labor Headers believe that the issue will eventually go to the Supreme Court for final decision but there is no certainty yet as to which case will first reach the top tribunal.

Scouts of the world - brothers

Scouts have chosen for their thirty
fifth anniversary celebration, Feb.
8-14.
The growing international charac-
ter of this Community War Chest
organization is the reason for this
theme. Although Scouting has been
destroyed in some countries since
the war began, there are evidences
that it will find its rebirth in nation
after nation, as fast as the Allied
forces hberate them.
Along with other American ideas
and institutions, United States SER
vicemen are taking scouting with
them into foreign countries. One
former scoutmaSter now serving In
the armed forces in France is work
ing with French scouters. Similar
activities are going on in England.
Former Boy Scouts are helping to
organize troops in Italy; some have
gone camping with scouts in Egypt,
India, Australia and New Zealand.
In Italy, seventeen years ago, Mus
Solini destroyed scouting by govern
ment edict. 1t went under cover,
and now is poisoning forth again.
