A PRAYER FOR SAN FRANCISCO

o God, Thou who art the Eternal Giver of Life unto
both men and nations, we come to Thee in behalf of the
peoples of the world who are hungry for peace.
Grant unto those representatives Of the United
Nations who meet to search for a world order that shall
guarantee peace for all mankind a sense of humility and
of dependence upon Thee.
Give unto them wisdom, guidance, and tolerance.
May they learn of each other and so come to understand
the common problems of all men everywhere. Grant
unto them a RECOGNITION of the needs of the forgotten
peoples of this earth. And may they so live the principle
of cooperation that wars may cease and security come to
this earth.
May we, as citizens of this nation, possess a sense
of responsibility that will enable us to work for peace.
for justice, and for freedom for all.
This we ask in the Name of Him who is the Prince
of Peace. even Jesus Christ. Our Lord. Amen.

The Magic Formula

It is safe to predict that the results of the National Labor-Management Conference in Washington will disap point lot of people It will be the sort of dsappont ment that felt in President Tuman radio address on wages and prices the President failed to produce magic formula for settling all industrial disputes.
 Perhaps the abor-Management findings will be more specific The conference agenda most of the sore spots todays industrial relations If mutually satisfactory be found for all the questions that the agenda raises then the whole country breathe little more easily
 But still there will be magic formula forthcoming from these meengs-no because there such formula but because the formula has been long and famarly known It's symbols words long since grown rte And Mir Truman, in his recent speech, employed them in all their triteneSs, good sense reasonableness con sideration for the position Of the other fellow team work gye-and-take,
 There many difficult and complex problems which go far beyond the simple prescriptions p these copybook Inaxims But their solutions cannot be approached until there sober and sincere acceptance of those maxlms and Of the further elfeydent truth that the problems of industrial relations baslcay problems Of human rela tions
 Unhappiy there too many people in both camps who reluctant to admit the fairness and pemanenee of both collective bargaining and private employment der the profits system There too many employers secretly bent unonbustng and too many labor execu
 lives trying to usurp arrangements functions without as- snming the attendant risks There too much hot temper recrmInaon and easy resort to violence And last but not least there is too little common ciyity

 But by putting field kitchens in the hold and letting men sleep anywhere, he estimated, he could carry between TOO and 800.
 After receiving this report, however, the Army gave the SS Haywood Broun exactly 38 soldiers to carry home
 Note-during the war troops were necessarily crammed and damned aboard vessels They were even loaded aboard above live ammunition In at least two cases, ships carrying live ammunition ploded, with about 2000 killed. Now, with ammuni tion the War Department suddenly has become licitous about crowding men, even into empty ships

They Also Served New Haven Journal Courier

The proposal of Rep. Louis Lud- low of Indiana that Congress ap- propriate $50,000 for a memorial to the thirty eight press correspond ents and photographers who lost their lives in the war is entirely fitting and should be approved
 As Rep, Ludlow points out in his resolution, which is now before the House, these men died like soldiers on the fighting front" They died for the same ideals for which the men of the armed forces fought, By their lives, and by their deaths, they served thoSe ideals well,
 They were not alone in this. Be- tween 600 and 800 correspondents were accredited to the lighting fronts during the war Most took the same, or greater, risks than the fighting men Most shared the same hardships, Most were gallant above and beyond the call of duty, They left the comforts of their homes to serve the people Of the
