Difficult Days For
Workers After Y Day

NEW YORK-"The great en-
ployment gains made by colored
workers are mostly in industries
which will not be in existence
when the war ends and colored
workers as others will need to
shift to peacetime, consumer
goods, industries. Full employ
ment for everyone and a per-
manent Federal Fair Employ
ment Practice Commission offer
the best hopes for the colored
worker" Prof, Herbert R. North
rup, of N. Y. University and
member of WLB said in his adj
dress in a series of lectures at
the Schomburg Collection, N. Y.
Public Library, W. 136th st.
Large scale discharge of COL
ored employees after V-day is al
most a certainty, Prof. Northup
declared.

There's nothing like batch of
homemade Yeast Rollsl Fresh,
warm, and light, they're a classic
favorite among breadstuffs.
Then why don't you make them
more often? Let the family know
that something special is in the
ofing as soon as they open the door
and Whit that old-fashioned frag-
rance Of homemade bread baking.
Save-A-Day Rolls are just what
their name implies. You can mix
the dough the day before and
store it in the refrigerator. When
you're ready to bake, take out just
enough dough for the rolls you
want for one meal and use the rest
another day. Comes meal time, it
takes only fifteen minutes to bake
a hot fresh batch of rolls while the
rest Of the food is being prepared.
This recipe for Bran Save-A-Day
Rolls brings results that taste as
good as they look in the picture.

@. I came into the Army as
limited service but was reclaSsi-
fed as general service and esnt
overseas. Recently I came back
on rotation furlough as infan-
try unassigned. I understand
the minimum eye requirements
for infantry are 1920, while my
eyes are approximately 20-4O0
correctible to 1920. Could you
give me any information on this
point2
A. WD Circular 447 provides
that individuals whose vision Is
20-400 or better and correctible
to 2O-40 in one eye and 1920 in
the other, and are already
trained as rifiemen Infantry i,
will not be reassigned merely

Army and now my third son is
about to go. 1 have never re-
ceived Family Allowance from
the other two as the boy at
home supported me. VIII I be
entitled to receive it now from
this third boy, or must one Of
the other two apply for it as
they have been in service long
err?
A, The boys now entering
service may file application for
Family Allowance on your be-
half. If he is your chief support
he would file his application on
that basis, and If the $50 re-
ceived was not sufficient for
your living expenses one Of the
other two boys could file, claim
ing substantial support. The
; fact that they did not file before
would not make you ineligible
now.
@. I was an Air Cadet from
May through August l943. Was
my wife entitled to receive Fam
lily Allowance for that period7
If so, as no application was ever
filed, can it be filed nowP
A. The dependents Of an Air
Cadet were not eligible for Fam

was a secret; no one dared talk about it."
 'The Army communications net work" says the report, with tele- phone and teletype, telegraph and
 radio, tied together the cities of the world, linking all the continents and all our secret outposts in Green
 land and on the Gold Coast and in
 the Chinese hinterland. This truly was a miracle of science and in- genuity and organization and the will to succeed. Wherever Ameri- can soldiers worked or fought all
 around the world, they were only a telephone call or a radio wave
 away from headquarters in Wash ington."
 Next came the miracles of the
 Army doctors, the stories of the production of penicillin and DOT.
 ''The American Army is the
 healthiest army in history" says
 the section dealing with the Medical Corps. Bold and successful use of
 sulfanamides and penicillin have reduced the fatality rate of men ingitis from 38 percent in the first World War to percent ir1 1924,
 pneumonia from "A percent to or percent, dysentery from Is percent to only one recorded death" And here is General Somervelps account of the production of the atomic bomb; which he calls ''the most spectacular engineering pro- ject of the war" and "the greatest calculated risk of history" He says: Early in the war the ASF had
 set up its most secret of projects. It was dubbed, disaruningly, the Man. I.hattan Engineer District. With two billion dollars, 125,O00 workers. with all the resources of American science, British aid, our university
 and industrial laboratories, the Army Engineers began production of atomic bombs.

 problems to be solved were so un- precedented, the gamble and the
 risk were so breath taking. the miracle Is that results were ever secured and in secrecy. Our enemies were in the race. Only the

 Maternity, Child Health Care

Washington, D. C.-AFL Presi- dent William Green informed Chairman Murray of the Senate Committee on Education and La- bor that the AFL Social Security Committee has endorsed the Pep- per Bill providing a program for maternity and child health. In a letter to Senator Murray, Mir. Green said:
 "Our membership, which has al- ways concerned itself with the broad social needs of the nation, has been profoundly shocked by the report that 40 out of every 100 men examined by Selective Serv- ice were found unfit for military service because of physical and mental defects, many of which could have been corrected or pre- vented in childhood.
 This startling fact demands prompt and drastic action by the federal government to put within reach of every one of its citizens good medical care and health serv- ices. We believe the passage of the Wagner-M Murray-Dingell bill will achieve this urgent objective and are giving unremitting support to that measure.
 Without relaxing our efforts to obtain the passage of that bill, we are persuaded that action must be taken without delay on s. 1918 which would be first step in building a comprehensive national health program by placing medical care and welfare services imme- diately within reach of all mothers and children.
 Two emergency situations make l immediate action on s. 1918 ne- cessary. One Is the imminent ter imitation of the Emergency Ma- ternity and Infant Care program for servicenen's wives and babies A magnificent job has been done by the Children's Bureau on this program in providing medical nursing, and hospital care for 900,. 900 mothers and for over 100000 sick babies. Congress has clearly indicated that 1t intends to cut off this care at the close of the war A program for the continuation o1 this service must therefore be found if the nation Is not to lapse back to its prewar indifference te

the health of our children. Every American citizen has the right to be safely born. s. 1318 will do much to make good that right.
 "Our second reason for urging prompt passage of s. 1918 is the early ending of the governments day care program for children of working mothers, under the Lari- ham Act. With the close of this wartime program, probably in March 1946, there will be no fed- eral aid for this type of care. We must not return to the days of latch-key children, left to roam the streets or locked in empty homes while mothers work to keep their children alive. These days will re- turn unless the federal government gives a generous hand to commun- ities in providing adequate day. time facilities since there Is every indication that many more thou- sands of mothers will have to work after the war than were employed before the war. Day-care service to the working mothers of the na" ton should be put on a perma. nent basis, and provision for care should be made In terms of chil- dren's needs, not as by-product of some other program"

American industry and Ameri- can workers, under the guidance of ASF had turned out the weapons, enough and on time."
 In recounting the miracles" per- formed by ASF, General Somervell starts with the story of radar.
 'The Signal Corps he says, working on British beginnings, had made radar weapon of war from a scientific curiosity. It was perform ing daily miracles behind the scene of censorship.
 Our planes were equipped with this device in rapidly increasing numbers and It's application both on land and sea for offense and de- !fense gave deadlineSS to our attack and certainty to our defenses. Thanks to the magic eye of radar, able to penetrate night and fog, we had, Miracle Number One. But 1t
