many of the returning veterans
would have their conditions ag-
gravated by civilian activities and
that the long distance to Tuskegee

He made it know that the excuse

the war has ended.
DR.. McAllister of the Intake De-

the services rendered by the hos

ercises three specific functions: ex-
anime veterans, give out-patient
treatment and arrange for hospi-

operation of the Claim and Rating
Board in determining disability. He
revealed that only Negro emergen-

only war. injuries are treated. He
also stated that there are no facili-

that arrangements are made with

serve all veterans without diScri-
mination." He said that Negroes
are now employed in the Veterans
Administration, and thar others
would be employed as the program
expands. Referring to the training
received by Negroes in the armed
forces, General Bradley emphasiz-
ed the Importance of obtaining
employment for them which would
provide the opportunity to use
these newly-acquired skills.
Admitting that he had not
had sufficient time to become
thoroughly familiar with all phases
of the problem, General Bradley
expressed the hope that many
more Negro veterans would take
advantage of the opportunity to
continue their education and i'm
prove their skills. According to
recent reports, only fraction of
the veterans eligible for educa-
tional assistance have applied for
it. The availability of good-paying
jobs before Vi Day is thought to
be largely responsible for this
situation, for the number Of ap-
plications for scholarship aid is
steadily increasing.
In commenting on the confer
ence Thomas said that the Urban
League is preparing additional in
formation about the problems or
Negro veterans to be presented to
General Bradley. The appointment
of a competent assistant to the
Administrator, the assignment pf
Negroes to positions at the policy
making level, and the adoption OF
policies to prevent widespread dis
elimination against Negro veterans
are among the recommendations to
be submitted.

ton workers unions, since they had
relief available through the NLRB
recognition procedure.
Recognition Not Involved.
The WLB made it clear that in
directing conditions of employment
for the foremen involved in the
shipbuilding and Baldwin cases "it
was not directing recognition of
the union or implying any duty on
the part of the company to bar
gain collectively"
In granting grievance machinery
to the unions the board denied
arbitration as the final step, and
also denied union demands for
straight seniority. 1t directed the
companies to put into effect a
seniority plan governing lsyoffs and
demotions to provide that when
ever skill and ability are fairly
equal, length of service shall be the
determining factor"
The board also ruled in a fourth
case, involving the New York Ship
building Corp, Camden, N. j., and
about TOO subforemen who are
members of the CIO Marine and
Shipbuilding Workers, in which it
denied the unions demands, with
labor members dissenting. These
workers already have seniority
rights and grievance machinery.
The action in setting up certain
working conditions for the hitherto
unrecognized foremens' units, left
the way open for CIO and AFL
unions of production workers also
to seek recognition as exclusive bar
gaining agents through the NLRB
The Packard decision did not en-
tirely block the way for such unions
to gain recognition.

Cutbacks Are too Slow.
8. The anticipated schedule of cut
backs in war production programs

war we're announced late and too
close to the end of the war in Eu-
rope. They have been slow in being
consummated with the resultant de-

9. Contract terminations for the
most part have been carried out eff
ciently, speedily, and with a mini
mum of dislocation. Industry in
general is satisfied with the progress
which has been made.
10. Surpluses have not been de-
clared or disposed of with sufficient
expedition. The relatively small
amount of surpluses which have de-
veloped today suggest the probable
ity that an avalanche of surplus
goods will later descend upon the
market. This will create competi-

Small numbers of men released
now for this purpose will make
possible sooner the employment o1
much larger numbers of workers
who will be released from war pro-
duction. Among the principal in.
dustries needing workers in this
category are numbering, transpor-
tation, coal mining, cotton textiles
and, to limited but important ex-
tent, steel. War production pro-
grams should be cut back as soon
as possible, with more advance no.
tice to industry than in the past.

Recommendations

/. The Office of War Mobilization
and Reconversion should be put on
a supervisory operating basis with
direct control over the other war
agencies. 1t must plan and issue
orders and not confine itself to
umpiring disputes. At this stage OF
the war program it is particularly
the reconversion functions of this
Office which require such attention.
The office also should be empow-
cred, organized, and stated so that
it can take active steps to aid re-
conversion, including action cutting
across interagency lines in the fur
thering of individual reconversion
projects. There Is little work of
more Importance today. 1t can be
accomplished only by an agency
with the highest authority.
O. The various civilian agencies
dealing with foreign governments
and peoples should be intergrated
under the Secretary OF State.
8. We must now utilize and divert
into peacetime channels our pro-
ductive capacity that is not needed
for our military production. Our
first responsibility is the winning
of the war as soon and completely
as possible. For that reason there
should be no diversion of produc-
ton capacity of manpower that
would conflict with this program.
On the other hand, the war produc-
ton and military manpower needs
should be reviewed with the utmost
care from the point Of view Of the
earliest possible relief Of bottlenecks
in the reconversion of industry to
peacetime purposes. There should
be the most careful consideration
given to, and the co-ordinated ef-
forts of all war agencies concen-
trated on, the release now from the
armed forces of a limited number
of men whose services are essential
