WASHINGTON, Sept. IL
0PA)-The way the washing
machine industry is recon-
verting to civilian produc-
tion is, labor men say, a
prize illustration of how to in
ure unemployment, lowered pur-
chasing power, and sky-high
prices. 1t is only one of series
of "atrocity stories" on the do

People are clamoring for wash
ing machines, which have been
totally off the market for sew
eral years. Workers, too, are
clamoring for jobs in the wash
ing machine plants, whose war
contracts were cut out with the
end of the war.
The industry is taking advan-
tage of this fact to gouge con-
sumers and to increase its al
ready swollen profits.

Gen. Bradley Agrees
With Recommendation

WASHINGTON, Sept. IL -
(LPA)-Labor's repeated warn

were echoed in high government
quarters this week.
Submitting a report on vet

the late President Roosevelt,
"elder stateman" Bernard M
Baruch declared, "Work for all
both veterans and civilians
is the number one essential in
any effective handling of vet

Omar Bradley, to whom the re-
port was addressed, agreed say

full employment for one group

Emphasizes Vet Jobs
The report itself emphasized
that unemployment for veterans
and war workers alike is

questions to be handled differ

Military Training
In Peacetime Urged
By Army Air Forces

With q warning that the next
war may begin with an air attack
powerful enough to knock out de-
lenses in a week, the Army Air
Forces went on record today as IA
voring universal peacetime military
training.
That formula was arrived at, an
Army spokesman told a press con-
terence yesterday, because no one
has been able to suggest any sys-
tenn other than universal training
Wnlch Will meet the perfectly plain
requirements for national safety and
defense, and yet conform to long
established American traditions
which are opposed to great standing
armies.
Those requirements will be met
only by universal training, together
with an effective program for in
dustrlal mobilization and continu-
Gus research Gin the field Of avia-
tlon)," the spokesman said.
Two Requisites Cited.
At the same time he emphasized
the need for a regular air force
strong enough, to deter an agrees
sion while the forces are expanding.
Two requisites for an effective air
force are immediate striking power
and "expansivity"-the word offici-
ally chosen by the Army to designate
the ability to expand in an orderly
fashion from a peacetime to a war
time basis, the spokesman said.
The spokesman, a general close to
the Pacific war who remained
anonymous by War Department
orders, said the debacle of Pearl
Earbor might never have happened
had the universal training program
been in effect.
TT is as certain as anything can
be that any future war will begin
with air attacks on a scale which,
unless properly met, may destroy in
a week, or even a day. the means of
maintaining defense or continuing
a fight" he added.
He said expanSivity depended upon
having trained reserves capable of
being modified and committed to
aclloIl III relaIlVely snort period.
Can't Afford Delay.
IF we have to give every man
years training before he becomes
an effective member of a combat
team, we certainly will be out OF
luck" he continued.
The years compulsory training
would not bring the airmen to the
combat stage, but would equip them
so that they could qualify for better
ROTC officers, the spokesman said.
In summing up the program, he
said two things were apparent:
% That in the event of war more
Regular Army men could be released
from the zone of the interior for
full commitment to theaters of &C

force must be better than any in
existence anywhere.
