Harmony at Home

FORMER Governor All Lanoon
comments on his interview with
President Truman will furnish sub
stantial food for thought to the
working politicians of both the Re-
publican and Democratic parties.
The 1896 Republican presidential
candidate told reporters that Mr..
Truman wanted to develop an
American foreign policy behind
which both parties could unite and
which would provide continuity in
American foreign relations that
would prevail regardless of differ
ences over domestic questions or
any change in administration. With
this objective, Mr.. Landon said, he
was in full sympathy.
1t happens that most Americans
heartily indorse this undertaking,
and, as a matter of fact, there has
already been achieved a measure
of unanimity behind many phases
of this country's foreign policy
which is without precedent. 1t has
taken a war, and narrow escape
from disaster, to bring home the
truth of the old adage-extensively
honored heretofore in the breach
that politics stop at the waters
edge. But there is much evidence
now to indicate that we have come
to maturity in the matter of foreign
affairs. This does not mean that
the old prejudices and fears have
been eradicated. 1t does tend to
support the conclusion, however,
that politicians in the future will
find little profit in those cheap tao
tics which may be collectively de-
Scribed as twisting the lions tail or
shouting Communism. This country
is breaking with the past and is
moving into a period when, in its
own interest, it will assume an in
ternational role commensurate with
It's real international position. And
there is not going to be much room
on that larger stage for the dema-
gogues and the partisan politicians
whose rantings were discreditable
part of our recent history.
It is worth noting, however, that
Mr.. Landon went beyond indorse-
ment of the Presidents foreign pol
icies. MIR. Truman, he said, has a
every practical and sound" flood
control program in mind. Further
more, according to the news re-
ports, Mr.. Landon was highly COM
plimentary" in speaking of the
Presidents grasp of the farm prob
lem.
From one who was in the FORE
front of the domestic critics OF the
New Deal this is revealing COM
mentary. To some, recalling the old
saying that many a true word is
spoken in jest, it may seem that
there was an element of prophecy
in Mr.. Truman's light observation
to the effect that his growing Re-
publican support may mean that
the two-party system will go out
the window. To assume that would
be carrying things a bit far, but
there is no denying that truly
remarkable change has come over
the national temper since Mr.. Tru-
man entered the White House.
Whether this will be short-lived, as
was the political honeymoon after
Mr.. Roosevelt's first election, re-
mains to be SEEN But on the sur
face, at least, there is some reason
to believe that, politically speaking,
we are coming of age in domestic
as well as foreign affairs.

all Of the truckers we're notified that
their employees must become members
Of the union. But the union refused to
admit the Hunt employees, and demand
ed that the grocery cease doing husi-
ness with the trucker. This was done.
When Hunt secured another contract
with another employer the union re-
peated the process, with the result that
Hunt was forced out of business. The
union was Furnishing the Hunt firm for
an alleged past offense Of one Of its
members--a complaint on which the
accused had been tried and acquitted.
But five members of the Supreme Court
said that Congress also intended to
shield that sort of union activity.
Chief Justice Stone and Justices

sented. Justice jackson. writing the
dissent. declared: Those statutes which
restricted the application Of the Sher-
man Act against unions were intended
only to shield the legitimate objectives
of such organizations, not to give them
a sword to use with unlimited immunity.
The social interest in allowing workers
to better their condition by their COM
bined bargaining power was thought to
outweigh the otherwise undesirable re-
striction on competition which all sue
cessful union activity necessarily en-
tails. But there is no social interest
served by union activities which are di-
rected not to the advantage Of union
members but merely to capricioua and

REDEPLOYMENT ACTIVITIES
 AND SAFETY
NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL

The primary responsibility of all personnel of this Base, is to pro- cess returnees with a maximum of safety, consistent with a minimum of delay. From the time that re- turnees leave their plane, after landing until they leave the base by train, their safety should be of paramount importance. After hav- ing been exposed to the hazards of combat, and arriving safely at this Base, it will be an utter neglect of duty of processing personnel to ex- pose any individual to accidental injury, because of the unsafe act of any person concerned with pro- cessing.
 The following safety precautions will be strictly observed at all times:
 Smoking is not permitted within 50 feet of parked aircraft.
 During refueling operations, there will be full compliance with regulations concerning static grounding of aircraft and refuel- ing units.
 Fire extinguishers should be con- venient of access during all refuel- ing operations and when aircraft engines are started for mainten- ance or prefiight runups.
 All motor vehicles, used for the transportation of personnel, will be operated at rate of speed con- sistent with existing traffic con5i- tiOns, and will at no time be Ope- rated at speeds in excess of 20 miles per hour. Vehicle drivers will at all times strictly observe all traffic signs and regulations.
 Pedestrians will, at all times, walk on the side of the road facing traffic.

THE CHAPLAIN
 Writes Chaplain Wm. J. Van Cleve
Joe a Eastman
Dear Gertrud:.

Dear Gertrud:
 l guess that Jim has done what i told him when said he had bet ter Ego see the chaplain" How ever, he evidently went to see the Chaplain for another reason in- stead of having to have him help square himself with Susie. He seems to have managed that part all right himself in some other way. He ran a round here for a few days looking like a storm cloud and then it seemed that the sun must have come out because he came home'with a big smile, not to mention some lip stick, on his face. Yesterday he went to see the chaplain. .:-.:
 This morning he showed me the wedding ring he got the last time he was in Hartford. There might be just a chance, i couldn't help thinking when saw it, that this might. have had something to do with the way Susie had changed her mind and forgiven him. Any way, he asked me if i wood be their best man and was so boiled over that i just sat and looked at him for a minute before i told him that i wood.
 The fellows are sure guying poor Jim to death but he doesn't seem to mind it. In fact, i doubt if he hears half of what they say to him he is in such a daze In spite of all they are dishing out to Jim kinda wish that it was you and me in stead of them that was going to get married, but maybe we better wait until after the war like we had planned. What do you think? ?
 I have been to several weddings out at the chapel since i have been here, but wish now i had paid a little more attention to just how things were done. It makes my knees wabbly to even think about being up there as best man, but the chaplain says everything will be okey and he should know be- cause he has married enough coup les since he has been here. At that, the chapel is sure swell place to be married in, and when we do get married i hope we can be married in one of them.
 The Sunday services are going along fine and we sure enjoy them. I'll bet if all the fellows knew that we have electric fans going out there on these hot sunday morn ings that the chapel wood be filled every sunday. The evening services are still held every sunday eve ming like told you, the Catholic Mass at six o'clock and the Protes- tant Service at seven thirty.
 Your nervous,
 Pfc. Joe.

IH SPEAKING \ 0S \BOOKS
JoE PRIVATE SAYS

A Dlurb, according to Wooster, is a brief, often extravagant, com mandatory notice of book. Good reviewers do not rely on them for the real worth of the book, but re- viewers are not, like the Army Lii brarian, faced with a large ship ment of new books and hundreds of GIs champing at the bit to read same. Instead of holding these books for scholarly CD review in the BEAM one month from now, we're presenting them here, .blurb by bIurb, with a warning that any similarity between blurb and content MAY be entirely ac- cidental. @
 And we believe it! It's THE BRICK FOXHOLE, by Richard Brooks, and we know you'll like it! Private Jeff Mitchell had joined up because he believed this was his war and he wanted to help fight it, but because of his special talents, he was given a desk job. For a year he had seen men shipped out one after another, and he was fed up almost to the breaking point with being left behind. The one thing that kept up his morale was the prospect of a 15-day furlough. But rumor, which plays fantastic part in the life of men in the serv- ice, dissolved the dream-a chaotic bit of skuttlebutt about a girl named Mary who had been unfaith- ful to her husband. Jeff, unhappily convinced that this was his Mary and that he had been sucker, took weekend pass to Washington to burn up the town, to ease the hurt. THE BRICK FOXHOLE is the story of that Saturday night, which began with too many drinks and ended with a brutal murder . It is stirring novel. :. :. It has the suspense of a first-class detective story, plus literary qualities which make it a book of tremendous pow CT and social significance for our time." COLOR IN EVERY PARAGRAPH
 Ben Hecht is one of the worlds great masters of storytelling and lis COLLECTED STORIES are his best. Together, they present fabulous, fascinating world, peo- pied by great heroes and tragic clowns, saints and testers and con- cubines, wrestlers, dancers, and plain, ordinary guys. It is book crowded with absorbing interest, and the pleasure of reading it is not only in the stories, it is also in the telling, in the texture of the tales. There is action on every page, color in every paragraph" :" There IS a wide variety in these stories-take a look at some of the titles: Concerning Woman of Sin, Remember Thy Creator, The Mystery of the Fabulous Laundry man, God Is Good to a Jew, The Rival Dummy, The Heavenly Choir.

The First Air Forces very popu- lar Director of Nurses, Elizabeth B. Mahoney, was this week promot- ed to the rank of Lieut.. Colonel. Col. Mahoney, who has 21 years of service in the Nurse Corps chalked up to her credit, saw service in World War I and continues to car ry on her good work in this one. During her long Army career the new colonel has served tours of duty in the Philippines and in Ha- waii. She has been in the Medical Section of FAF headquarters since April 1943.
 Medal of Honor winners are rare soldiers, but Mitchell Field vel comed one recently in the person of S/Sgt. Paul Wiedorfer of Bal timore, Md, who arrived in a C-54 hospital plane for temporary con- fnement in the FAF Regional Sta tion Hospital. Sgt. Wiedorfer, a very modest fellow when inter viewed, was awarded the nations top battle honor for single-handed- ly wiping out two German machine gun nests last Christmas day dur ing the Battle of the Bulge, and capturing a score of ferries. Un- hurt in his Christmas Day foray, Sgt. Wiedorfer was nicked in the leg in later engagement.
 Are va Twin, Old Man?" is the theme song these days of T/S Ken D. Shaver, currently assigned to the Personnel Section of FAF base at Greenville, s. c. The answer is a vehement "YESw despite the fact that this former engineer aboard a B-17 parachuted out of his crippled bomber over Germany in June 1943, and was reported lost. Clapped into a German prison camp he later escaped and made his way to England. While all this was going on Shaver's parents in Salisbury, N. C., received his Pur- pie Heart citation, and the Ameri- can Legion's Gold Star citation. Needless to report, all three cita- tions now command the honor spots among Ken's souvenirs.

low a set pattern; that the only
worthwhile course for a woman
in these times it to devote her
self to being as glamorous as the
next woman.
A Subject for Pity:
Today it is assumed by both men
and women-because they have
been carefully sold on the theory
that if a woman doesn't keep
her looks and her figure and find
time to be a companion to her
husband he has every right to
ditch her for a new model.
There are no credits chalked
up to woman for staying at
home to have babies. The mother
of four or six is much more likely
today to be pitied or looked on
with condescension than admired.

cepted attitude most women are
going to follow the herd.
They have pretty umselfish-
sounding reasons for limiting their
families to one or two. But the
real reason they do so is fear.
They Fear Desertion
Fear that they'll be tied down.
Fear that they'll lose their hus-
bands interest. Fear that while
they are having and caring for
babies the world will pass them
by.
It just isn't glamorous to be the
mother of large family-and the

they are afraid to risk losing it.
