 Johnston said he believed business expansion, stemming in part from whole new industries developing out of wartime research, will be "an ab- solute necessity if we are to maintain maximum employment and called on the government to always be ready to encourage" business enterprise.

Truman, Speaking On A.F.L. Program Pleads For Unity
Says Days Of Economic Isoationism Are Gone Forever

Vice President Truman, speak ing under the auspices of the American Federation of Labor. called today for continued united action in this country to win the war and the peace, and to solve the postwar problems of. recon structiOn and rehabilitation.
 Discussing ''What Americans can look forward to in the next four years," Truman declared in the American United" radio forum of the A. F. L. on NEG, that ''the basic domestic problem before America is to continue the spirit of cooper ation from war production to that of peace."
 ONLY REAL DANGER
 "The only real danger to our na- tional security, in peace as we'll as in war, lies in the possibility of dis unity" he said. "One thing this war should teach us is the tremendous power of our country when united in worthy cause"
 Asserting that ''slOwly we learn- CU GAdt POAtACAA ASOAAtAOH DcCuN1e impossible" the vice president said, ''with peace we shall see that eco homie isolation is also impractical. " He declared "our primary prob lem is to make our foreign rela- tiOns and foreign trade as pleasant and profitable as possible for all concerned"
 Also appearing on the forum pro- gram were William Green, A.F,L. president; Eric Johnston, president of the U. s. Chamber of Commerce, and James c. Patton, president of the National Farmers Union.
 In reply to question from Green, Truman said "as long as we Ameri- cans work together and utilize wisely

Hartford Agency Will Help Locate
 People Overseas
Will Have Facilities Of Largest Missing Per
 sons" Bureau In World

Facilities of the largest missing persons bureau in the world will be made available in Hartford beginning Monday, Jan. 2o, it was announced at community meeting launching the Hartford Overseas Location Index here last night.
 The purpose of the Index serv- ice will be to assist, through the use of International agencies, in the location of relatives or friends abroad with whom contact has been lost during war years. The first community project of it's kind in this area, the Hartford office, To- cated in the Board of Education Building, 249 High Street, will be staffed by volunteers and the serv- ice will be available without charge to all who apply. This is entirely a civilian service and does not con cern itself with members of the armed forces or prisoners of war.
 The Hartford Overseas Location Index, pooling the resources of Il community agencies, will serve as the clearing house for all location ap- plications from this area, forwarding them to the Central Location Index in New York City which has direct con- tact with agencies having representa- tives working in the European coun- tries. This central index complies all information on locations sent to this country by the Red Cross, UNRRA, the Inter Governmental Committee for Refugees, the Council of Volun- tary Agencies and other groups.

 VERY GOOD PROSPECTS
 He told Johnston that prospects for business expansion during ihe next four years ''are very good," and said private business "must be given all possible assistance by the government to insure sound economic expansion for the bene- fit of all.''
 Describing farmers as the sound stabilizing force in our economy" the vice president told Patton in answer to a question that the domestic market can make substantial contributions towards our goal of full employment only if the farmers income is held at decent levels in keeping with our high standard of living"

surance system to butress state re- serves and to establish minimum bene- fit standards below which no state could go.
 Among many other recOmmen- datiOns, the board advocated cre- ation of system of disability and sickness insurance. This is essen. tial, it said, because Gloss of earn ings during temporary disability is likely to. cause greater hardship than losses during unemploy- ment." The board pointed out that America stands almost alone among the nations of the world in lacking such protection. Extension of old age and survivor pensions to nearly 25,000,000 persons not now covered, plus raise in bene- fits all along the line, particularly for low paid workers, was also favored by the board.
 Finally, the board strongly sug- gested national system of ''health insurance" similar to that pro- posed in the Wagner -Dingell bill, which has the support of all or ganized labor. The system would be financed by payroll deductions.
 The board lashed out at prepa- ganda that this proposal means ''sOcialized medicine"
 Stressing the need for such insur- ance, the board pointed out that, "con- trary to popular notion the United States is far from being the healthi- est country in the world"

Close Loopholes,
 Board Proposes

Congress and state legisla. lures were called upon this week by the Social Security Board to close up loopholes in unemployment insurance legislation that threatens to deprive millions of workers of job benefits after the war.
 This appeal, plus recommenda- tions for sweeping liberalization of present social security stand ards-largely along lines fav- ored by organized labor-high- lighted the boards annual report.
 MILLIONS UNCOVERED
 The board was particularly criti- cal of the defects in the unemplOy- ment insurance system. Unless the set-up is bolstered by Federal and state action, the nation will face a crisis when unemployment, strikes with full force following Cermany's defeat, the board warned.
 It urged extension of unemployment insurance to another Is to 20 million workers now excluded. It proposed sharp increases in benefit rates-to a maximum of at least $25 weekly and for period of not less than 26 weeks year, where workers remain jobless that long.
 BENEFITS JEOPARDIZED
 Particular stress was laid by the board on the need of reversing trend in state unemployment insurance pro- grams under which millions of work ing men and women face loss of bene- ht rights.
 This trend, the board said, is toward ''severe disqualification provisions. State after state has put them in, at the demand of greedy employers who want to re- duce their taxes, until today more than half the states have such clauses. (Incidenally, no such loop holes exists in the Railroad them. ployment Insurance Act.)
 Most of these provisions cancel or drastically reduce benefit rights of workers who quit without good cause" and subsequently, become un- employed.
 This ''good cause" is defined by many of the states as any cause not directly attributable to the employ n peace-time position for war job, or quits to enlist in military ser vice and is then rejected, or who drops out to have a serious surgi. cal operation, has his unemploy- ment benefit rights wiped off the books.
 This trend threatens to distort and in serious measure, defeat the purpose and function of unemploy- ment insurance--to pay benefits tc qualified workers when they are un- employed able to work, and available for work" the board emphasized.
 It proposed that stop be put to such disqualifying provisions. The best way to do so, the board con- tended, is to set Up national jobless insurance system to replace the 4S separate state systems, since unem. ployment is national problem
 CORRECTIVE STEPS URGED
 However, while awaiting such ac. ton, the states were called upon to take corrective steps. Also, Congress was urged to set up Federal rein
