LABOR AND INDUSTRY

Following preliminary interview with President Truman Secretary of Labor SchWeenbach is making preparations for converting labor management con- ference probably this month Top-ranking represen- tatives of organized labor and industry have indorsed the plan and believe it will succeed If carefully planned" That reservation deserves to be emphasized
 for if the conference to devote it's energies to discussing controversial questions such as postwar wage policies the chances are 100 to that 1t would break up without accomplishing anything worthwhile.
 Careful planning will undoubtedly be required to avoid fruitless discussion of issues that should be settled by means of collective bargaining. For 1t is through direct negotiation of wage contracts that policies are translated into practice and practice then becomes the basis from which further general policies or principles are evolved The work assigned the forthcoming conference is to devise machinery Tor the peaceful settlement of wage disputes. Hence the assignment calls for concentration procedura mat ters For instance the conference will be called upon to pass on the merits of the existing machinery Tor settlement of railway disputes and the possibility of adapting it to the needs of industry in general It will also have to anyze various other proposals for the mediation and arbitration of disputes such as the Ball Burton Hatch bill and examine the e1ilcacy

CHICAGO
. TRIBUNE PROSECUTED

After landing in the United States, where he was not subject to Naval Censorship, Johnston wrote and the Chicago Tribune published a story regarding this, even naming the complete list of Jap ships. This was information which U s. Naval officers obviously could not have obtained without being able to de- code Jap secret messages, and the Navy hit the ceiling.
 Admiral Ernest King, Commander of the Fleet, called at the White House and demanded that the Tribune be closed down. He pointed out that the Japs were sure to change their code, and thus we would lose one of our most priceless wartime assets.
 Secretary of the Navy Knox owner of the Chicago Daily News an opposition paper to the Tribune was loath to prosecute. So was Roosevelt. He feared it would look like an attack on his seVerest newspaper critic. The Navy, how ever, insisted. So William D. Nit chell, Republican Attorney General

WashingtOn's New Interest in the
 Affairs of Science
(St. Louis Star Times)

tSt LOUIS star llmeS)
 The American research scientist. in the postwar era going find that his affairs like those of the laborer the farmer and the businessman, are a direct concern of the national government. Whether they have felt neglected not, scientists class have not been the subject of congressional debate to any great extent and their profession has not felt the necessity of posting lookouts Capitol Hill and keeping an eye public opinion as it might influ- ence particular legislative proposals. But the signs all point to change.
 Science actually has been mobilized under gov ernment programs since the outbreak of the war Research laboratories throughout the country have dropped almost everything which could not show pos sible benefits for the Army or Navy. And now the question arises as to whether it would not be good thing for the government formulate policies to keep research in high gear and to insure that new dis coveres are put to maximum public use in peace as well in war.
 under the Office of Scientific Research and Develop ment Dr Vanneyar Bush, director of OSRD, has outlined his ideas of peacetime research policy in lengthy report President Truman He would estab- fish National Research Foundation to provide money grants to medical schools and other agencies working on projects which would contribute to public welfare or national defense He stresses that there should be no government ctation in matters of policy and per- scnnel to the institutions receiving ald Ana he stresses that should be no controls on private industrial research. Senator Magnlson oi wash ington already has muoouceo phi 1o iiipiehieh' the Bush program.
 Another bill introduced by Senators Kilgore, Pep per and Johnson of Colorado would establish Ma tional Science Foundation to function along similar lines but it is more specific in It's provslohs IiaV any inventions or findings resulting from tederally financed programs shall be patented by the govern ment and made available to any citizen or organization desiring to use them It provides in effect that sucn patents would be the property Of the people Many private research organization can be expected to prefer the more restrictive Bush- Magnuson proposal But is not the government entitled to what It pays Aore
 That our government should have frmer grip on the field of research proved by the war There can be no denying that Germany came dangerously close to victory because of better developed research facilities pressing argument of the moment IS that the war years have been unproductive of new sclen lists Brains which should have been developing in the laboratory have been diverted to the strictly transitory business of carrying guns and flying planes Dr Bush is scathngly critical of manpoWer polcles which have created this big deficit in scientific specialists.

island base of Midway, which, if successful, was to be followed by a tremendous naval strike on the Hawaiian Islands and the Call fornia coast. The information had been picked up from Jap radlo messages immediately after the Battle of the Coral Sea in the South Pacific, and gave time for the U. s. Fleet to rush everything it had north to Midway and pre- pare trap for the unsuspecting Japs.
 Ships and planes from all over the Pacific were sent to Midway The West Coast of the United States was felt almost unprotected Had the Japanese become aware of what was happening and shifted their tactics, the cities of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, etc, would have been almost defenseless But the Japanese coded radio mes sages were unmistakable. They gave the name of every ship in the Jap fleet which was steaming to attack Midway.
 The result of that battle is well known. Not well known, however, is the manner in which the Chicago Tribune's Stanley Johnston revealed the Navy's secret, and how he escaper prosecution.
 Johnston had been aboard the ill-fated Lexington which sank in the Battle of the Coral Sea, was taken aboard another ship which rushed north to participate in the Battle of Midway, and while on this ship he learned that the Navy knew in advance the Japs were preparing to attack Midway and that we even knew the name of every ship in the Jap fleet.

AMBASSADOR HARTMAN

 Finally the party came to glass works which the Russians had been through. They had removed most of the machinery, but had over looked some finished fancy glass ware on work benches. So when Ambassador Hartman left the fac- tory, he took few glass "souven- irs" with him.
 One member of the party who had heard Hartman renounce the Russians looked at him critically. Laughing, the Ambassador re- marked:

 What finally happened during that trial has never been revealed. The Navy, which had been insistent in demanding the prosecution. suddenly backed down. It refused to let Mitchell tell the Grand Jury about the secret Jap codes and the fact that the Tribunes disclosure tipped off the Japs that We were breaking them down.
 For. in the middle of the trial, U. s. code experts found that they were still able to break the Jap codes, and the Navy feared that anything told to the Grand Jury would get back to Japan and prompt the Japs to change their codes again.
 Thus the props were knocked out of Mitchells case, and the whole thing fizzled.

 SECRET SERVIC. IN MISSOURI
 Although citizens of 1ndepend- ence, Mo, admit the Secret Service agents assigned to the Summer White House aren't the most so- ciable people in the world, they openly admire the efficiency and alertness with which the agents have kept hundreds of persons from trespassing on the forbidden ground of the Truman home. But even the Secret Service muffs one now and then.
 Not long ago, Miss Florence Carvin entertained several lady friends at her home, 400 North Delaware Street-just two blocks north of the Summer White House. When the guests prepared to leave, they discovered several billfolds and purses were missing from their handbags. One of the victims was Miss Marion Mcclellan, of 3809 Walnut Street, Kansas City Mo, Assistant Executive Secretary of the Womens City Club Of Kansas City.
 During the evening, sneak-thief had entered the Carvin home, an1ntia6 ceveraI of tbq handbaQS and escaped His loot included about $25 in cash, plus 10 n coupons.
 Interesting fact was that two Secret. Service agents of the Summer White House staff were living at the Carvin home. They were upstairs in their rooms when the theft occurred.
