NEW YORK, Nov. - u Too

He quits, either voluntarily or by
quiet request, when the clubs Tor

Seldom does a pilot voluntarily
resign when everything is going

Braves not only is unusual, but
astonishing.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Nov. 7-tR
Coach A. N. (Bo) McMillin Of
Indiana sometimes wishes he
hadn't seen the performance put
on by Minnesota's seniors ut Ann
Arbor last Saturday.

they've got-and nine seniors

left his team with assistants to see
the game.
I'D just as soon play Michigan
next Saturday instead Of Mime
sofa even if Michigan did beat
them" said McMillin.
Thus, McMillin's hopes for a
victory ut Minneapolis Saturday
are none too high because the
Hoosiers were able to turn back
Michigan In the seasons opener
only by the margin Of 4 lone touch
down.
It's the seniors and the expert
ence in the Minnesota lineup that
prey on McMillin's mind. He's
even figured It down to the total
years.
"In Minnesota's starting lineup
against Michigan there were Al

that Wen have to start only Is
years of experience. That's 4 real

Sound Thinking on Reconversion

As the war draws toward it's final stage, clear thinking is essential if the things we have fought for, or against, are not lost in the shuffle. The most important development since VIE Day is the an- nounced policy of the War Production Board, as presented in the report of Chairman Krug. It sets forth the prin- ciples that will govern the decisions of the WIPE during the reconversion period, and stands out as document of history making importance
 It affirms faith in free enterprise. It rejects the idea that government plan ming, in the sense of control by blue print, can be as effective or lead to as desirable ends as private planning =. It takes it's stand on the simple ground that govern ment regulation, administration and con- trol would impede and slow up the reconversion process and diminish pro- duction and employment. The keynote is the declaration that it is necessary to get rid of regulations and production limitations as quickly as possible. They automatically put ceilings on initiative, imagination, and reSourcefulnesS, the very qualities the country will need most if we are to have resilient and rapidly expanding economy after the defeat of Japan.
 "As the cutbacks increase" says MT. Krug, "some areas are bound to experi- ence unemployment In. many areas, time will solve such dislocations - as peacetime industries start up and hire workers; but in some areas, special meas ureS taken to maintain employment would merely postpone the eventual day of reckoning-as for instance war boom town which is greatly expanded because of particular war plant with little or no postwar future. We must prepare to meet such emergencies when they are real; but we must also be prepared to resist the pressure when they would only delay necessary readjustments
 MT. Krug's position is eminently sound Business and labor both can take heart from his Statesmanlike utterances. As between efforts to shelter people from in- escapable readjustments, and policies relying upon government economy and individual enterprise to establish a sound general prosperity, the advantage is all with the. latter. Special measures for the benefit of some people or commun- ities are at the expense of others, while policies designed for the general benefit help all go forward together

Tonsils and Polio

Although the precise cause and pre- vention of infantile paralysis are still a mystery, the medical profession has ob- served many contributing and aggravat- ing factors that seem to increases susceptibility to the disease.
 According to the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, it has been noted that tonsil and adenoid operations tend to add to the danger of contracting po- uOmyelitiS in it's most serious form dur Ing an epidemic. This is the season of she year when the threat of polio cpl Gen1ic is most ominous. This is also the vacation season when it seems most log ical to parents to have tonsil operations performed on their children.
 The National Foundation reports 50 per cent more polio cases throughout the nation in the first five months of this year than in the same period of 1914 It might be prudent, therefore, for parents to check carefully with their physicians on the incidence of polio in the com munity when planning tonsil operation for their children.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-07-17
The Strike Weapon

Harry Bridges, the powerful and un- practicable West Coast labor leader, is quoted as saying that the strike weapon Is no longer effective in the United States. Probably MT. Bridges is not the only high-up unionist who has reached that conclusion, though no others have expressed themselves with such flat final ity. And, whether or not the Australian head of the longshoremen'S union made his statement with mental reservations, there is abundant evidence to support it. It was inevitable that public opinion should turn against strikes and strikers in war industries. Responsibility for work stoppages which cost time and lives was usually fixed on local officials and local membership. Most of the top union officials condemned strikes in their own domains Nevertheless, the whole union movement has suffered some loss of pub lie esteem. And the result of these vlo- lations of the wartime no-strike pledge may be evident in the days of peace to come.
 Some weapons should be handled care fully and used only on the strongest pro- vocation. The strike is one of them. It is legitimate weapon in the hands of responsible persons who use it as a last resort in enforcing just demands. No fair-minded person would deny labor the use of it under such circumstances. But too many war-Work StoppageS have seemed to be strikes for strikes sake. Too many have arisen from impatience, not from intolerable and insoluble situations. Too many have betrayed lack of sym pathy with the orderly, civilized process Ges of discussion, arbitration and con- promise. Too many have smacked of SenSeless class war in the midst of tragic conflict. There is little doubt that the strikers short-sighted, impatience has led the foes of unioniSm to provoke further stoppages in an attempt to in- flame public indignation. This batting and goading has worked, even though wise labor leaders have urged their mem bership to endure these provocations calmly and present them for public judg- ment in a dignified manner.
 Thus wartime strikers have not so much destroyed the weapons effective ness as they have turned the weapon against labor itself. They have caused themselves loss of time and wages and public respect. By flourishing the weap- on indiscriminately they have succeeded in boring or angering great many, and frightening no one. MT. Bridges coun- SelS labor that newer and better weapon is political action. This advice comes from man who has tried both violence and suavity, and has roted the results.

many cases, made no secret of prejudice at the outset.
 If the WAC has proved itself-as we think it has-then no one can deny that a large share of the credit for whatever the Corps may be, and for what it has done, must go to Col. Oveta Culp Hobby, who resigned recently as WAC director after having been in command since the earliest organizational stages. Anyone prepared to say-as nearly all Americans do say-that the WAC has done splend- i'd job, automatically says, at the same time, that Col Hobby likewise has dis charged, splendidly, the difficult task as- signed to her.

A Different Job We'll Done

Most Americans are prepared to join enthusiastically now in Seconding the statement that the Womens Army Corps has made an outstanding contribution to the victory already gained, as well as to the victory still to be gained, in the global war.
 This attitude haS>not always prevailed. More than little skepticism existed when the organization was in the forma- tive stages. More than few people didn't like the idea of trying to make sol dierS out of women. Ridicule was not uncommon. The WAC-or the WAAC, as officially designated originally -defin- itely was in the position of having to prove it's value. Most people are now ready to agree that the organization has done just that. It has proved itself very much worthwhile. Some of the most lav- ish praise for the organization has come from "hard-bittenp Army men who, in

2nd class mailing privileges for his weekly isolationist paper; also refunded $50,000 to Pappy; and let the American taxpayer sub sidize Pappy's political gyrations to the tune of $l l,000 a week.
 Second class postage is extend ed to bona fide news publications, regulations which bar political campaign literature and specify that one-half a newspapers sub- scriptions must be paid for in- dividually.
 Regarding the first, the Senate Campaign Investigating Commit tee last year reported the "cOn- tents (of Pappy's paper) are of 8 strictly political nature" The Senators went further and rec commended, to the Justice Depart ment unanimously that it ex- anime the facts with view to prosecution under the Corrupt Practices Act.
 Regarding the second require ment for 2nd class postage, name ly, paid-up subscriptions, Mrs. O'Daniel testified before the Sen- ate Committee that only $111,096 had been received from subscrip- tions. This amounted to a paid subscription list of only about one-fifth-a long way from one half as required under 2nd class postal regulations.
 Despite all this, Frank Walk CT. shortly before he stepped out of office, extended End class mailing privileges, which in this case is the equivalent of S1,00O of the taxpayers money, to the rOotin' tootin' former flour salesman from Texas to help him ridicule international CO., operation and war rationing.
 Note-O'Daniel's sons are car- ried on the masthead of the paper as officers, despite the fact that they are in the Army. For approximately a year, the Sena- tor managed to have both boys stationed 90 minutes ride from Washington, until they got too much unfavorable publicity. Since then, they have been shipped away.
 FEP c SKIRMISH
 The closed door session of the House Appropriations Committee which finally voted $250,000 for the Fair Employment Practices featured flareup between Con- gressman Joe Hendricks of Flori- da and Louis Rabaunt of Michi- gan. Otherwise, opponents of EEPC were anxious to com- promise and get the long fight over. D.
 Chairman Cannon of Mis- sOuri opened the meeting by remarking that he hoped to see the $250,000 voted-or smaller amount.
 Virginia's Clifton Woodrum drafted the compromise wording which finally was adopted, speci- flying that the $250, 900 must be used to complete liquidation of the agency unless FEPC is created by Congress permanent agency.
 Congressman Rabaut, liberal Democrat of Crosse Point Park, Mich, reported that he had been trying to get FEP c champions to agree to a compromise, but that they were unwilling to dis cuss liquidation of the agency. At this point, Florida's Hendricks interjected his rancor.
 "I suppose you're taking your
