 There's a future for you here, Joe You were hard worker. You can go long way with us. But re- member we're publishing a maga- zine-not flying P5l's. I know you can learn the business, and we'n be glad to put you back on your old job, not at your old salary of S25 a week, but at $35."
 But" Joe interrupted, do you realize what I've been earning? I got S291.67 a month base pay, plus rental and subsistence allowances of $l26. Then I got flying pay, overseas pay and a fogie. I was making over $500 a month-and you offer about $150."
 Joe's problem represents a sort of compound fracture of the illu- sions. Accustomed to an income of more than $7,200 a year, he is con- fused and chagrined at prospects of adjusting himself to a civilian in come of less than $2O00.
 He had been a pursuit pilot and a good one. He had learned plenty about small planes and fighting and how to handle men. But he knew no more about the business of publishing a magazine than he

VETERANS GUIDE
By MAJOR THOMAS M. MAI.

r WASHINGTON - This story about Joe - multiplied several thousand times-gives a glimpse of one of the major problems being encountered by veterans returning to civilian life.
 Joe's boss, the editor of an inn portant magazine, told me about this; how Joe has been discharged from the Air Forces because of disability, how before the war he had been an enterprising young fellow in the magazines research department, and how four years later, at 26, he reached the rank of liutenant colonel before leaving the army.
 Joe returned to his old office looking, of course, for job.
 You know" Joe said, 'I'm sup posed to have the right to my old job. But l wasn't making much in those days, so I though maybe you might have something more i'm portant for me-
 T recognize your rights, Joe," the editor said, "and the promise

>had known in 1941 when he en- tered the army.
 Perhaps more typical than Joe,s case is that of the ex-staff sergeant who used to work in Wilson's drug store on Main Street after high school hours. He became member of BY crew, and received about S163 a month plus clothes and keep, which added another estim- ated SIPS month-or the prac- tical equivalent of $65 a week.
 It's clear that the returning army vet in many cases will have to give up any high or fancy ideas about money that he developed in the service. We can't start resting on our laurels-we can't sit back thinking the country owes us a liv- ing.
 Our practical readjustment is to take the most suitable job we can find, kid ourselves into thinking we're overpaid, and then prove we're worth it.
 In sincere effort to adjust our selves to new postwar America, we can insist on getting our fair rights, but we must give as well as take.

3 Choose Death
To Imprisonment
They Were Caught When
Japs Invaded Moro.

NEW YORK. - Three American
civilians chose death to imprison-
ment when the Japanese invaded
the rich Moro island citadel of Jolo
on Christmas eve, 1941.
Most prominent perhaps was j.
Scott Mccormick, an American edu.
Gator who spent many years in the
Philippines and played an important
role in establishing American edu-
cational methods there. In 1871 Nc
Cormick gave up his government
post in Manila and came to Jolo to
help educate the Moros. He was
made superintendent of schools. The
Boy Scout movement was a pet
interest of his and Mccormick be-
came Boy Scout commissioner for
Sulu and Mindanao.
When it was plain the Japs in
tended landing strong force on
Jolo, Moro teachers implored their
American superintendent" to run
away. They promised to sail him to
a distant island where he could hide
among friends.
But Mccormick refused On the
day of the japanese landing he
dressed himself in full Scout re-
gala. Then he went to Jolo high
school and set his papers in order.
Again teachers begged him to leave
but the superintendent said he would
not desert his post.
He left the schoolhouse with few
Moro friends and returned to his
home. It was there that the Japa.
nese soldiers found him.
When they broke in the door they
found Mccormick standing proud
and erect, without weapon. His
khaki Boy Scout uniform which he
had chosen for his last hours proved
death warrant. The japanese rid
died him with bullets.
Perry Macklan, an American
planter, met death quite differently.
When invasion became imminent,
Macklan provided his wife and chill.
dren with food, and sent them to
an old Moro stronghold in the noun
tains. He stayed behind.
Two days later the Japanese sent
two small landing craft loaded with
soldiers to Macklan's place. AS they
streamed ashore they were met with
a fusillade of small arms fire. Six
Nipponese died before Macklan was
killed.

ARMY TO RETURN
100000 PW'S

WASHINGTON, Aug. ST.
Underseeretary of War Patterson
said today that the Army intends
TO return 400, 1000 German and TIA
Ian prisoners of war to Europe at
the earliest practical moment"
The Army's plan to return the
prisoners was disclosed in letters
which Patterson sent to Secretary
Ct Agriculture Anderson and VINO
Chairman McNutt. Patterson asked
the two officials to urge all indus
trial and agricultural employers OF
prison labor to take immediate ac-
ton 10 replace them with free
labor
In a statement, making public
the letters, Patterson said three
factors governed the return Of pri-
SonerS Of war. These are the abili-
" Of. the European theater to
handle them: availability of trans
portation and the need for pri-
soner labor in this country.
Military transportation to
Europe, Patterson said, will be
sya!laole until early in 1916 and
General Eisenhower, U S. Com
Mander in Europe, has indicated
mat ne can take care Of prisoners
as rapidly as they can be shipped
10 him.
Inc controlling factor. therefore,
Patterson said. is the need for pri-
Soher labor in the United States.
