''3. Does your department have
any way Of ascertaining the specific
number of men you will require for
the Army of Occupation2 II SO
could you give me what your esti-

a. What steps have been taken
by your department to inform fami-
lies of servicemen OF the policies
which are to be carried out in con-
nection with discharge Of men now
in service? I make this inquiry
in view of the fact that letters COM

extent on policy which would per-
nit youngsmen within a year of COL

kind of preference toward dis

prepare themselves for their chosen

Is. Is your department finding

expression, by discharged procedure
and, If so, have proper steps been
taken to elevate this condition and
provide sufficient staff to bring
about prompt handling OF the
necessary papers for men whom you
can approve for discharge?"

CHICAGO. Sept. 3.-The Nation
should not hesitate to use "emer-
gency measures" to meet the situa-
ton arising from the elimination OF
the Government rs the "one Gus
toner for nearly half our produc-
tion." the Most Rev. Francis j. Haas
Bishop Of Grand Rapids, said today
Now and without delay" he said
in = prepared sermon to a Labor
Day mass sonsored by the Catholic
Labor Alliance, Congress should
enact into law the Murray full en-
ployment bin, increase unemploy.
ment compensation up to . national
level Of $25 per week for a period

United States Enjoyment Service
First FEPC Chairman.
Bishop Haas, first chairman OF
the Fair Employment Practices
Committee, based his plea on a quo
tatlon from st. Paul, Bear one
another's burdens and 80 you will
fulfill the law OF Christ" and as
serted:
Thus we repudiate the doctrine
that industry Is to be operated
merely to make money for those who
can make it. We condemn the short
sighted policy Of maintaining a
regime of scarcity-either through
carteb, or price fixing, or the re-
strictive practices of certain labor
unions-in order that the private
initiative of few may be rewarded
at the expense Of all the rest. And
while we insist that private initia-
tive be maintained. We insist that 1t
operate to the production Of enough
goods and services for all the people. u
Truly ours is an emer-
gency and we may not hesitate to
use emergency measures. Our situa-
ton Is no different from that of the
people IN a flood area. They do not
debate the niceties of this or that
measure. They, have but one
thought, to save themselves. In like
manner our Congress may not close
its eyes to the fact that what is
at stake Is the very life of the
Nation"
Praises Bargaining Charter.
Bishop Haas termed the labor.
management charter signed recently
by representatives of the Unitec
States Chamber Of Commerce anc
CIO and AFL leaders as a frank
recognition by "one national bod,
Iof manufacturers" of labor's right
to collective bargaining.
Let us not minimize this point. ;
he continued. There is no need
to talk about cooperation, Joint
action and working together in in
dustry for common purpose :
unless employers regard the right
Iof workers to organize democrat
leally and to deal collectively
through their own representatives
as finished business"

NEW YORK - Fiorello En-
rico LaGuardia drew much of
the sting out of one common crit
icism made against him when he
remarked, long ago:
II can outdemagogue any can
didate ever met"
New Yorks colorful mayor
makes no pretense of inhibitions
or of false modesty. 1t is not at
all impossible that in certain
moods he would blithly plead
guilty to the allegation made by
one jurist, after a particularly
blatant weekly broadcast:
"The war news has taken him
off the front pages. He has to
do something to get his name
into the newspapers"
Whatever may be the motiva-
ton behind his dramatics, the
Little Flower has managed to
keep his name in headlines al
most continually for more than
a quarter of a century, not only
in his own home city blu t
throughout the country.
His latest escapade to arouse
mingled praise and censure is his
bold defiance of War Mobiliza-
ton Director Byrnes' midnight
curfew suggestion with teeth"
It was on the Mayors own
recommendation that the City
Council amended New York's
curfew law to require closing of
night clubs, restaurants, etc, at
midnight. Briefly, the police, by
LaGuardias order, enforced the
new law with a harsh abandon
that suggested Fiorello thought
he could get the Byrnes' "sug-
gestion" recalled by making it
unbearably onerous.
Then, blandly, the Mayor told
his police to just forget about
midnight, and let the boys and
girls drink until one o'clock. Let
