Vets Loans Suggestions

w A S HIN TON UPA)-
Two suggestions were offered
Congress in the interest of vet
Grams this week. One, by Natl.
Housing Agency counsel Leon II.
Keyserling, recommends that in
terest rates on housing loans to
vets be reduced to go, and that
such loans be extended over a
longer time. The other, offered
by the American Legion, would
cut red tape" by amending the
GI Bill of Rights so that local
agencies could make such loans
to vets without previously clear
ing with the Veterans Admins
tration. The Legion plan is sus-
pect as a product of lengthy
conferences with heads of the
nations biggest lending agen-
cieS."

President Truman, in an
almost unprecedented action,
intervened by calling to the
White House all Democratic
members of the House Ways and
Means Committee. He spoke
with them for As minutes, and
afterwards authorized White
House spokesman Charles Ross
to say: 'The President spoke Wig
orously. He said he stood pat on
26 weeks and SIS for unemploy-
ment compensation. He said the
Senate let him down and he ex-
pected the House not to do so.
He said his views were fully out
lined in his message TO Congress
and he stood by them"
House Tables Bill
Following close on the heels
of the unfavorable Senate votes
last week, which left almost
nothing of the original jobless
pay bill except a provision to
pay workers expenses back
home up to $500, and made OPP
tional with governors acceptance
of a so per cent extension of
present benefits period, the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee tabled the bill entirely.
The House Committee, by a
vote of IA to 10 with four Dem
ocrats joining 10 Republicans,
voted to table the bill until the
committee had more concrete
information as to what the un-
employment situation is to be
during the reconversion period. "
Rep. Harold Knutson (R.,
Minn), ranking minority mem
ber of the committee, gave the
tip-off to the reason for the ia
bling of the bill Before the
meeting, he told reporters that
'the committee probably will
take a position tomorrow that
with thousands of workers out on
strike, it is impossible to tell
what the unemployment situa-
ton is. We must wait until the
strikers get back to work and
the hundreds of thousands Of Jobs
crying for workers have been
filled. Until this is done, it
would seem the committees best
judgment to put aside the legis-
lation for expansion of unem-
ployment compensation"

Eighteen labor and 18 manj(

seated around the conference
table, with the employer dele

Among those mentioned as

sions, to serve as secretary, are
Harry Shulman, Detroit impair
tial arbitrator who handles the
disputes between the United
Auto Workers-CIO and Ford

Labor Board chairman George
S. Taylor. Three advisors will
work with the labor side of the
table, and three with manage
ment.
Agenda In Doubt
Length of the sessions, and the
scope of the agenda, are still up
in the air. Probably, the meet
ings will take two days, though
some participants believe that
longer deliberations will be re-
quired to reach decisions.
Whether the question of wages
VIII come up, as well as the
original subject of the confer
ence-machinery to settle in
dustrial disputes in peacetime-
still is not decided, according to
labor spokesmen.
Definite decisions are ex-
pected some time this week, as
results of the meetings of pre-
paratory committees are now in
the hands of the government
officials who started the ball
rolling on the conference.

There is one problem of re-
habilitation in Europe which is
greater than any other. 1t is also
the most important. 1t is to save
the children-body and soul.
Unless they can be rehabili-
tated, all the great plans for
new and beautiful world are in
vain. The danger and the hope,
the menace and the salvation of
the world of tomorrow lies in
the children of today-for what
ever ideals, ambitions, and be-
liefs are inculcated into the
hearts and minds of these chill
dren will determine the future
of the whole world. They are
the ones who will have the keep
ing of the peace in their lands.
The most serious effect of war,
except for the casualties, is
never on the generation fighting
it but on the generation follow
ing. The tension falls hardest on
them-for they have not had the.
background, the knowledge with
which to properly evaluate hap
penings. Even when they do not
show any immediate effect,
fears, inhibitions and hatreds
can be engendered which may
well scar young minds perma-
nently. Remember that Hitler's
first followers were the warped
children of the last war. And
those who faltered and hamper
ed and hindered in other lands
were children when the guns
roared before.
HOW EXPLAIN
How are we going to explain
security to child who has never
known peace; who has lived in
the constant presence of terror;
who has seen death in its most
brutal forms; who has known
horrors from which the most
hardened adults shrink?
How are we going to teach
truth to a child who has had to
learn to lie in order to keep
alive? How are we going to re-
store faith to those who have
watched murder go unavenged?
How are we going to teach the
value of law and order to a child
who has learned to scurry in
fear from those in authority:
who has known abuses, starva-
tion and degradation?
When young lips have
drunk deep of the bitter waters
of Hate, Suspicion and Despair,
not all the Love in the world
can wipe away the memory,
though it may turn darkened
eyes for a while to the light, and
teach Faith where no Faith
was" So Kipling wrote at the
end of a sad story of a little
child.
What can WE do for these
children? Unless we use all the
wisdom, courage-and love-We
possess to help them, there caw
be no lasting peace. This 1.-THE
greatest problem. How can WE
help to solve it?

now before Congress, is he iSs
suance of free mats of special

mats consists of parts of an ad-

ident American Federation of
Labor, delivered in Washington,
D. c., December 5, 1916. Sup
posedly, it warned organized
labor of the threat of organ
izing for health insurance.

Union Plan
Showdown

WA S H N G T IN, Oct. l
IPA)-A violent showdown
between Selective Service
Director Hershey and organ
lied labor on Hershey's con-
tinued attempts to pit return
ing veterans against unions was
in the making last week.
All sections of organized la
Dor agree that Hershey has
deliberately used the super
seniority" idea in an effort to
ALLEVIATE unions and returning
servicemen. Hershey, whose fir
ing has been demanded by sew
eral union papers, climaXed his
antilabor career with the issu-
ance of a handbook for the
guidance of draft boards. The
handbook reflects Hershey's
own peculiar Interpretation of
the law, that a returning vet
eran can GUST a war worker
with a greater seniority from
his job. Hershey added some
thing new to his anti-labor
campaign by stating that union
membership may not be re-
quired for regaining the old
job. That this would destroy
both closed shop and union shop
contracts was apparent to both
AFL and CIO leaders.
The violent showdown will
probably occur in one of dozen
court cases headed for the u. S.
Supreme Court. The first one
that reaches the Supreme Court
this fall and is decided will set
the precedent.
Both CIO and AFL spokes-
men have declared that Her
shey's new union-busting en-
deavor stinks to high heaven,
Blast Hershey Position
The Hershey position was
blasted by the CIO in a state
.ment by Meyer Bernstein, of
the CIO Veterans Committee.
Bernstein, who only three weeks
ago was discharged from the
Army Air Forces, declared that
General Hershey'S statement on
veterans unemployment policies
is another communique from his
Ivory Tower. 1t shows a lack of
familiarity with modern in
dustrial employment problems,
and is apparently intended to
stir up strife between organized
labor and the veteran" !"
The Hershey policy, he conti-
nued, gives work preference
for one year to veteran at the
cost of the very thing that will
keep him on the job after that
time. Gen. Hershey is attempt
ing to destroy the seniority sys-
tenn which will enable veterans
to have credited to their job
rights the full time they spent in
the armed forces. Under the nor
NAL operation of the seniority
system, the eX-serviceman will
in most cases have more length
of-service claim to a job than
most war workers"
Expectations are that no final
decision will be reached by the
Supreme Court until late fall.
Meantime, union leaders expect
dozens of superseniority fights
in local unions and in lower
courts. But the union conviction
is that neither the returning vet
eran nor the war worker will
win complete Justice and lob
rights until Hershey's inter-
probation of the law is de-
feated.
