0'Conor Plans
To Approve 140
Measures Today
Hobeos Corpus Bill
And Accident Fund
PIon Are Included
Py the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS, Md, April 23.-Gov.
O'Conor today said he would sign
140 more bills passed by the Legis-
lature, including one giving courts
wider discretion in handling appli-
cations for writs of habeas corpus.
Another bill will set up a special
fund for the State Accident Com
mission from which second in
Jury" payments may be made.
Under its provisions, an employe
already partially incapacitated, who
suffers a total disability because of
second injury on the job, will be
paid from this fund.
Gov. O'Conor said this would
make it easier for returning war
veterans, who suffer partial disa-
bility, to get jobs, for the employer
who hires them will be protected
by this fund in event of total dis
ability incurred at work. Hereto
fore, no special provision had been
made and many industrial plants
refused to hire workers with one
eye, one arm or other partial dis
ability, fearing they would be liable
for heavy payments in event of
further injury to these workmen.
Under the habeas corpus measure,
q judge may refuse to grant a writ
when it is shown that the applicant
previously had been granted a hear
ing under the same commitment.
Any applicant may take his case to
the Court Of Appeals on refusal of a
judge to grant writ, or from a final
order dismissing the proceeding.
Discretion to deny applications
for habeas corpus will apply only in
cases where the applicant is de-
tanned in connection with criminal
prosecution.

Board Of Trade
Sees Abundant
Postwar Jobs
Work Will Exceed
Labor Supply Here,
Survey Predicts

Abundant job opportunities here
after the war are indicated In the
survey conducted for the Washing
ton Board of Trade by Opinion Re-
search Corp.
Third in series of releases pre-
pared by the boards Postwar Plan
ming Committee, the survey figures
show that the labor force here
after the war will be reduced by ap-
proximately 81 per cent.
This means there will be a labor
force of about 475,0O0 persons, not
nearly enough to fill the 556 900 jobs
that the Postwar Planning Com
mittee has estimated will be avail
able here in the second postwar
year.
But If $4,000 servicemen return
to work in the District area, as the
committee has estimated, labor sup
ply will just about equal the esti-
mated demand. However, additional
workers will be required to fill the
estimated 100000 jobs necessary for
the fifth postwar year.
The survey showed that 86 per
cent of Government employees and
81 per cent of those privately en-
ployed intend to remain in the
Washington area.
The greatest loss in age groups
will be among those under &c. of
whom only II per cent will continue
to make Washington their home.
Approximately 83 per cent of the
white residents and 95 per cent of
the colored will remain here.
Professional workers lead in the
percentage of those who will make
Washington their postwar home, 81
per cent answering the question in
the Affirmative.
Nine per cent Of the privately
employed women to retire from work
to do their own housework and
per cent of the Federally employed
women clerks plan similar action
Among the workers more than so
years old. per cent plan to retire

Worlds Biggest Job.
Justice Douglas, personal friend

mo one man could build lasting
peace. President Roosevelt knew
that, probably better than any man
living. He wasn't trying to do
something for us. He was doing
something with us, something that
all of us agreed on and knew had
to be done. It's big job, the big
gest the world has ever faced.
when Franklin Roosevelt died,
we lost an engineer who knew that
job intimately, and who had been
working at it with all his heart and
all his strength for years. But he
did not die fearing that the job
would not be done because he was
gone He knew it could be done

viction and unselflshneSs.

Ohio, said:
''The best memorial to any one of
the present generation will be the
recognition of his part in establish
ing just and lasting peace among
ourselves and with all nations. This
was the prayer of President Truman
in his message to our armed forces
last week. This has been the prayer
of President Roosevelt for three
years. This was the prayer of Presi-
