destroy unions. tabor conciliators
and union leaders say.
For that reason conciliators as
well as union leaders are demand
Ing an immediate clarifcation.
Officials of the Dunn road plant
of the Aluminium Co. Of America
elected TO accept the Hershey in
terpretaiion and displaced II
workers, two of them World War
j veterans. with returning serV-
icemen who had less seniority.
One returning veteran had
worked only six months in the
factory before entering the armed
forces four years ago. He replaced
n World War ] veteran who had
IL years seniority.
The CIO and the CAW-CIO
argue that veterans are entitled
10 seniority credit for all time
spent in the armed services plus
whatever seniority they had be-
fore entering the armed services.
They have carried out this policy
scrupulously but fatty refuse TO
accept Gen. Hershey's prime SEN
iority for all World War ii vet

Hitted TO his union that there is

but added that Congress meant
for the World War ii veterans 10
have prime seniority so he was
merely interpreting "the intent"
Two cases involving the Her
shey Interpretation are pending in
federal courts.
Locally, George A. Droste,
veteran of World War III and
former employe OF the Nash-Kel-
vinator Co. in Lansing, is suing
the company for S400.
When Droste was discharged
from the army he was put on his
old job that paid S139 an hour.
Later he was transferred 10
lower paying job as the result of

He is suing the company, now
closed, for money lost on the

This business Of seniority,

of those appearing on the pro- grams. On the first program the Taft and Choate School debaters discussed the question of compul- sory military training.
 This program is doubly unique in that the Connecticut Forum of the Air is the first to realize the value of placing the views of the younger generation before the publis and also the first to fulfill it's aim by broad casting it's program from one if America's leading preparatory schools. It is expected that a large number of parents and friends of the school will be present to witress the broadcast.
 Other schools, according to Ralph Della Selva, director of the Forum, that are scheduled to appear on the series in the near future include the Hotchklss School, the Lcomis School and Greenwich Academy.
 The Connecticut Forum of the Air, originally founded five years ago as The Yale Forum of the Air is now in its third edition and has been running consecutively for two years. Its board of governors is made up of many prominent men in the state as well as faculty members of all of Connecticut's colleges.

found the subject neatly turned by one MT. Baker, holding Washing ton state proxy, who seized the mo- ment to recommend to the Commit tee a current book that he thought they would enjoy.
 Another quite sizable group Of members disagreed with Chair man Brownell's decision that party policy is no business of the Committee, which he believes Is limited to selling to the voters whatever policy elected COP off cials state and national legisla- tors. governors, etc. - many formu- late.
 Most vocal in support of that viewpoint was Clarence Buding- ton Kelland, the novelist who is National Committeeman from Ari- zona. Considering Brownells eight point program splendid, but much too general, Kelland introduced resolution calling upon the chair man and the executive committee to present specific plans by April and to call another national meeting by May l to act on them.
 When Kelland drafted his resolu- tion, he supposed he had the sup port of at least few fellow mem bers, some of whom had been out spoken in lobby corners, in con- demning the BroWnell program as too vague. In the showdown, Kel- land found himself, in his own words, "all alone in the midst of a vast deSert,'' so he withdrew the resolution.
 HAS COMPLETE CONTROL
 The decision against involving the National Committee in any matters of policy apparently resulted in Perry Howard, committeeman from Mississippi, fooling himself. Howard offered what he described as a reso- lution putting the committee on record in favor of fair employment practices (non-racial discrimina- tion). He told newspapermen, who were barred from the meeting, that it was adopted unanimously. It de- veloped later, however, that 1t was only referred to the executive com mittee
 None of these incidents attain ed any real importance and that is why they are worth mentioning here. The paradox is simple. Their significance arises from the fact that any one of them could have become important if BroWnells position had been the least bit shaky. They evaporated, as issues, because for the present, at least, Governor DeWeys friend has firm hand on the party reinS.
 The completeness of the control Brownell exercised over the meet ing the fact that critics vocal outside the meeting room did not raise their voices inside caused veteran observers to prophecy after ward that his leadership of the party probably will not be challenged be- fore the 1946 elections.
 What happens thereafter may de- pend upon whether Dewey runs for reelection as Governor; whether he succeeds; whether he still is consid- ering another try for the White House; and how well the party fares in the congressional elections two years hence.
