Must Be a Military.
Not a Militaristic Nation
ByRAUL MALLON -

WASHINGTON. - A strong,
generally thoughtful editorial
writer who is against the Roose-
Welt particularly Mrs. Roosevelt,
regime. spoke out in several met
ronolitan papers recently Note, I
think the radicals called him fas-
cist-minded during the last CAM
paign, although the charge was
of political nature and therefore
not intended to be believed lit
Eally):
- There is only one way TO as
sure ourselves Of military
strength, whenever needed. That
way consists Of a system of COM
pulsory military training"
That is simply not true. There
are many ways of assuring our
selves of military strength, when
ever needed. A logical, straightfor-
ward way consists of putting mill
tary training into the high schools
and colleges and develop, and keep
trained, the necessary officer per-
sonnet, and charging and modern
izing the national guard, giving it
weapons, including airplanes and
tanks, artillery, ammunition and
.commissary to develop private
personnel. ~
That would be the more eff
Gent way, because it would be
constant, always up-to-date, al
ways ready to handle the latest
implements of warfare scientific
ally and efficiently, although there
are of course many other things
which must be done, including the
maintenance of greater perma-
nent. military inventors council
with laboratories, continuance of
West Point and Annapolis at war

partment to see that we do not

These are democratic ways.
The taking of boy from his
home. work and career for
year of service in the army is
a Prussian method Instituted by
the Prussian militarisfs after the
war of 1870. It must be an in
efficient way of developing an
" army because the Prussians have
never won with il. nor has II
produced results in France and
some other nations which took
il up. i
"A Radical Viewpoint
On the opposite side of the same
fence a radical editorial writer in

the very one who called my above

Legislation was requested by
President Truman May 26.
The board also attacked as con.

the bill introduced by Chairman
DougAton ON. c. on the same
subject. 1t urged members of Con-
gress to introduce amendments
correcting its inadequacies."
The board said the most glar-

The board added:

H!MMLER FORGERY,
PANIC PLAN Barred

FRANKFURT ON MAIN, GER
MANY, July IL up American
Army Investigators have pieced TO-
sether most of the story OF the o..
fetal counterfeiting and forged
PAPERS bureau operated by Gestapo
Chief Heinrich Hinmler Tor the
benefit OF Nazi agents In enemy
and neutral countries.
His mint and printing presses
turned out billions In spurious cur
rency tor use in almost every cotn-
try in the world but specialized IN
British pound sterling notes ana
American dollarsIn fact, at one
time Himnnler planned to create
money panic in England by
dumping quantities Of counterfeit
notes on British cite. from airplan-
es.
His big mistake was using anna
teur counterfeiters, said Col. Der
nae Bernstein, director OF the I'M
ance division OF the U. S. group
control council.
"Hirlnler finally realized this
and became 50 critical that money
turned out by his factory was dl-
vided into four categories-exepert,
fair, for propaganda purposes, and
TO be destroyed"
Money labelled expert was tor
Nazi agents in foreign countries
and was regarded as good enough
TO pass anywhere. That labeled
fair was supposed to be used only
in special areas. Money marked Tor
propaganda purposes was only a
degree less expert than that in the
"fair" category, and it was with
such money that Himmler planned
an English money panic.
British agents discovered the
plan before it could be carried out
however, and the British people
were warned.

INSTRUMENTATION
Policy Is Relaxed

Austria, said additional changes
were being considered since the
objective of American forces was
to help Austria become an inde-
pendent nation. Montgomery's or
der also applied to British troops
in Austria.
In view of the rapid progress
which has been made in carrying
out Allied naturalization policies
and in removing prominent Nazis
from all positions Of responsibility
in German life, it is believed de-
sirable and timely to permit per-
sonnet Of my command to engage
in conversation with adult Ger
mans on streets and in public
places" Eisenhower said.
The order ended a controversy
of more than two months. CTS,
far from home, wanted very much
to talk to girls, even II they were
German.
The original rule had had little
effect in curbing clandestine meet
ings of the intimate sort. 1t was
common knowledge that 1t was
being violated in thousands OF in

While soldiers expressed dissat-
isfactio in hundreds OF sizzling

Stars and Stripes, fiancees and
girl friends in America said in no
uncertain terms in letters to their
editors that the ban should be con-
tinued.

self the job OF writing the terms
of the contracts. It said it would
regard such cases as disputes
rather than voluntary agreements
and decide them by applying the
same criteria it normally uses in
dispute cases. 1t will take into
consideration for example, in pass
ing upon the question of retroac-
tivity of any and all wage adjust
ment the "effects of the strike and
of the policy the board questions.
Under present board policy it
will not order sick leave benefits
and the like in dispute cases, but
it has approved these when volun-
tarily submitted by the two parties.
In statement accompanying its
resolution late today, the board
said:
1.-THE issue thus created goes far
beyond the merits of the dispute
between the ITU and the publish
ers. It is an issue between the 1TU
and the American pepole acting
through their elected representa-
tives.
1.-THE ITU has challenged the au-
thority of the government of the
United States in time of war to
provide for the peaceful adjustment
of labor disputes. It has placed its
laws above the laws of the United
States Congress. 1t persists in this
policy despite the fact that news
papers are vital and indispensable
part of our wartime economy.
''At the hearing the union con-
tended that its laws are not sub.
ject to collective bargaining and
that this is in accord with the past
practice in the industry and the
present understanding Of many
publishers.
1.-THE union will have a full op.
portunity in hearings on the merits,
to develop the relation between the
past practice in the industry and
the present dispute after it has
abandoned it's position that its dis
putes with various publishers are
beyond the boards jurisdiction and
above the law"

Challenges Authority
The International Typographical
Union, meeting with WLB officials
IN Washington, challenged the
boards authority to consider the
unions disputes with the New Jer-
sey newspaper publishers. The I'M
ion said it would call walkouts on
any paper where publishers refus-
ed to accept union bylaws as part
of working contracts.
A union spokesman said the two
New Jersey stoppages were lock
outs and printers would stay ou'
until their employers accepted the
new 1945 union bylaws as part o.
the contract.
The WLB termed the union refus
al to end the walkouts until pub
