Stars and Stripes
Raps Measure on
Yelling Birth Data

LONDON June 6. CUP) = The
Stars and Stripes attached the edi-
torial comment We'll, Well Be
Damned to a report from Sacra-
mento that the California assembly
had passed bill enabling wives to
have illegitimate children without
the husbands being notified.
The army newspaper said the bill
is another indication of growing
tendency among a certain type of
thinker to make of the overseas
veteran a peculiar social problem
who must be spared the realities
and hand processed back into civil
life upon his return"
CITE SOCIAL WORKERS
1t said a vociferous minority Of
social workers were convinced that
the veterans will have to be spocfed
to make them amenable to the or
dinary conventions, and a lunatic
fringe of editorialiSts and govern
mental birdbrains have encouraged
the legend that the GI is something
unique and dangerous"
But since when have our states
undertaken to front for marital in
fidelity?" the army newspaper con-
tinued.
mo sensible person will condone
infidelity in the marriage partner
ship. Out of millions of separated
husbands and wives of the World
War II the majority are playing
the game straight
PRACTICE DECEIT
Some of the remainder will prac-
tice deceit. Others may make a
clean breast of the interim unfaith-
fulness. In either case it is a prob
lem between the man and his wife,
and nobody else'S business.
But by all that is holy, let's not
have a sovereign state joining in a
lie"
SACRAMENTO Cal, June 6. CUP)
A bill to allow married women to
offer children they declare to be
illegitimate for adoption without
notifying their husbands was be-
fore the state senate Tuesday after
passage by the assembly.
1t was introduced by Assembly
man Gardiner Johnson, a Berkeley
attorney. He said most such cases
involved wives of servicemen. How
ever, he said he would ask the SEN
ate to amend the bill to require
notification of husbands in such
cases after the war
During debate in the assembly,
Assemblywoman Kathryn Hiehouse,
(R), San Diego, quoted from a let
ter from a San Diego attorney de-
claring that army and navy Off
cials were in favor of the bill The
letter said that notification of hus-
bands overseas in such situations
''is most demoralizing.

ManpOwer Surpluses
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 In every Army and Navy camp the world around, hundreds of thousands of men--and women, too-are engaged in tasks which most trivial and un- necessary There thousands of soldiers and sailors who in months of service, have done nothing more military than sweeping off the sidewalk to the big front door Officers often desperate to find jobs for the enlisted for other officers. Soldiers faced with seemingly endless months of boondogglng wonder why they aren't allowed to stay at home where they contributed something definite to the war ln the way of material production.
 Such a challenge seems to have its reasonable side but military men insist that the condition is necessary The theory of surplus, they say IS basic in any great military operation. You don't open campaign with the number of tanks or guns or shells you think you will in the fighting. You don't begin to move until you have many, many times more than you think you under the most adverse circumstances You don't plan factories to turn out the number of ships the enemy might sink. You turn out so many that the greatest possible enemy action can take only fraction You get together all the food your forces eat then double it and triple that couple of times.
 The theory of surplus applies not only to machines, planes and ships. It applies to men we'll Military forces take fill every essential job, and scores of others to be trained and held in There are reserves immediately behind the battle lines. There are reserves in base stations in England North Africa and Italy There are millions of reserves still in the United States Their training continues slowly some times but certainly nonetheless until they called to action The period of waiting sometimes is long almost always it is boresonle and trying But appar enty it is necessary to be certain of victory

THE BRITISH DIPLOMATIC GAME

The long, lean, gracious Earl Of Halifax emerging from a one-hour session with the President recently, told neWsmen he had come to wish F.DR. Happy New Year and pre- sent him with a book as gift.
 Did you discuss Drew Pearson's column with the President?" Hali- fax was asked.
 No" he replied
 Did you discuss it with MT. Stettinius?"
 No"
 Are you sure you didn't discuss it with Stettinius?" repeated the questioner
 No" said Halifax, somewhat jelly.
 But, MT. Ambassador, he was reminded "only 10 minutes ago MT. Stettinius said you did discuss it with him."
 Did he?" answered the Ambas- sador Well, must have-I must have talked to him about it-er--on the telephone or something"

 While Senator Green questioned the Chief Executive about future orders for the Newport torpedo sta- tion, the P re S i'd e t delightedly thumbed through the old Bible. Finally, he assured Green the as- signing of more orders for torpedo parts did not mean Newport would be less busy, but that more tor pedoes are needed and must be ordered from other plants.
 As Green was preparing to leave, the President said with a smile:
 Senator, they tell me that Rhode Island is the one state in the Union which has given me larger plurality each time I have run for President"
 Green agreed it was, and told the President he stands ace-high with Rhode Islanders.
 Well, come see me again soon" called F.DR. as Green departed.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
THURSDAY. JANUARY 18

THURSDAY, JANUARY l8
 Mixed planetary influences are active today which should bring news of an important diplomatic conference.
 HEART AND HOME: The morn ing is unfavorable to women, who should guard against accidents. Girls may be restless under un- certainties affecting friends in the armed forces. There is a lucky sign for contracts, especially those re- lating to the stage or screen.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Imitation may appear imminent. A rise in wages is indicated. It will benefit large groups of workers while 1t discourages the white collar class, because there is likelihood that the cost of living will advance appreci- ably by summer.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Optimism which has prevailed will be dis couraged by statesmen and com- manders in the United Nations armed forces The stars warn of protracted fighting at high cost in men and materiel.
 INTERNATIONAL A F FAI R s: Britains chart indicates that eco- homie conditions in England will be exacting. Bitter complaints from labor interests will be voiced in Parliament. The Prime Minister will endure many tests of strength that end fortunately for him.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a prosperous year, but they should be on guard against secret enemies.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be fortunate in scientific careers. Engineering and aero nautics are lucky professions for Capricorn folk.

 Just think, Lee, if Dewey had been elected, you'd be busy as a beaver now working your head off trying to jam everybody into the inaugural proceedings and not having half enough tickets to go around"
 "Yes, I know" replied Chesley, but it would be worth the effort. I have been waiting so long to see the inside of the White House, think if Roosevelt were smart, he'd invite a few of us Republicans in for dinner, show us the place, and tell us something about his troubles. Maybe then we wouldn't be so eager to jump on him."

publicly, but several Democratic Senators were hopping mad last week when, in secret caucus session, Texas Statesman Tom Connally told them to check with the For eign. Relations Committee before forming conclusions or taking a stand on foreign affairs.
 Connally held forth at some length to assembled Democratic Senators as chairman of that com mittee. He appeared to be trying to re-establish the prestige lost by his committee when it railroaded the six State Department nomina- -tions through last month, only to have the full Senate toss them night back at Connally and his committee for further considera- ton.
 ConnallyS remarks were address ed principally at the new members. Foreign relations" he explained, "are an extremely complicated sub ject today and I hope, before you declare yourself or commit your self in any way, you'll give our committee a chance to reach some important conclusions and to help you personally"
 The Democrats, as one of them put it, sat silent as tomb, but not meek as a lamb"
 Not only were there murmurings about Connally, but there was no enthusiasm among the new Sena- tcrs over the leadership of Sena- tor Kenneth McKellar, of TenneS- see, who was elected President Pro sTem of the Senate. There was a strong feeling that the Senators who really should have been heard from are those who aided in the campaign last year. Connally and McKellar were not active, whereas Senators like OMahoney of Wyo- ming, Pepper of Florida, Kilgore of West Virginia, Guffey of Pennsyl- vania really went down the line, working night and day to re-elect Roosevelt to his fourth term.

Poor Digestion? G1 | 7.
 neadachy? 0u Sour or Upset? O0 Tired-usuess? %

Do you feel headachy and upset due to poorly digested food? To feel cheerful and happy again your food must be digested properly.
 Each day, Nature must produce about two pints of vital digestive juice to help digest your food. If Nature fails, your food may remain undigested- leaving you headachy and irritable.
 Therefore, you must increase the flow of this digestive juice. Carter's Little Liver Pills increase this flow quickly often in as little as 30 minutes And, you're on the road to feeling better.
 Don't depend on artificial aids to counteract indigestion-when Carter's Little Liver Pills aid digestion after Ma ture's own order. Take Carter's Little Liver Pills as directed. Get them at any drugstore. Only 25s.

Wur On the Unions

Refusal of the General Motors Corpora
tion to bargain i'm good faith with its
workers coupled with its rejection of arbi-
tratiOn offers made by the UAW-CIO is
more than a mere perfunctOry refusal. IL
is part of the war which industry has de-
cided to wage on the Unions i'm an effort
to destroy them, and which sets aside the
Wagner Act and defieS the Federal Gov
ernment itself.
Such anarchiStic actions which have
been committed by General Motors in its
dealings with the Union are not SpOnta-
neous, but are the we'll laid plans of cor
porate interests whose leaders still believe
that the Unions must be destroyed.
More is at stake in the General Motors
controversy than wages. Not only is the
very life of the Union i'm the balance, but
the pattern which will be followed by
America for many years TO come. If
General Motors succeeds in turning back
the clock to the days which preceded the
Wagner Act this country faces gloomy
prospect indeed.
BY il high-handed rejection of the
Unions proposals and its refusal to deal i'm
good faith, the General Motors Corpora
tion is showing the way for hundreds of
other corporations, large and small, whose
arrangements are now attempting, with
more or less success, 10 pattern their re-
lations with their workers upon the ex-
ample shown by the worlds largest cor
poration.
How long this situation will exist is de-
pendent upon how long General Motors
insists that it is a law unto itself and con
tinues to reject the Union, and defy the
Federal Government. Meanwhile, the
workers should prepare for fight TO the
finish and bear in mind that the principal
stake at issue is the very life of the Union.

GM STRIKE

GM STRIKE
Those who have followed the negotiations
printed in the newspapers between the Cen
eral Motors Corporation and the UAW-CIO
must be as impressed as l am with the sem
sible position taken by the Union.
General Motors takes the view that it is
none of the workers or public's business what
they made during the war or what they stand
to make during normal production. Both the
Union and the public have been told that
General Motors profits its own business
and that it will not open its books to see if it
can stand the wage raise asked for by its
workers.
The payoff on the refusal of GIN to open
its books and submit to arbitration is shown
by the companys highest officer In a debate
with Walter Reuther, UAW-CIO vice-presi-
dent President Wilson of I'M asked if the
Union would throw open its books for in
specton
Mr.. Reuther took Wilson completely by
surprise when he not only said that the Union
would do this, but asked if the GIN corpora
ton would do likewise
NO BOOK INSPECTION
Had the Union representative refused to
open his organizations books, the corpora
ton and its dominated newspapers would
have Immediately grasped upon this to prove
that the Unions were racketeers; that they
cheating the workers; that they were
stealing Union funds and only editors know
what else.
When GIN refused to open its books, its
decision was greeted without comment by all
but Union newspapers. 1t makes difference
whose books are going to be inspected.
No sane Union is going to ask more of the
company which employees its workers than the
industry can pay. Unions have every reason in
the world for wanting to keep industry on
sound operating basis On the other hand,
Unions have right to know what the profit
positions of the companies are for the wages
of the workers must reflect that profit and
not be out of proportion If the corporation
makes article that carries a price tag that
is out of proportion to the wages paid to the
ones who make it, a surplus accumulates
which sooner or later results in unernploy-
ment
Naturally the Unions must know some
thing of the profits which the corporation is
making and is capable of making, for while it
is wise for the Union to aid the company to
maintain itself in business, it is necessary for
the company to maintain the workers wages.
When anyone refuses to show cause why
they cannot pay higher wages and flatly re-
fuses to open their books it is a safe bet that
they have something to hide. If GIN gets away
with it, the workers of this country can look
for some tough shedding in the future.

From The Desk
Of
Melvin Schultz
President,
Local II, UAW-ClO

The General Motors strike is very good
demonstration that the automobile industry is
we'll unionized The fact that the workers of
General Motors voted overwhelmingly to in
sist on their demands by strike action and
have backed up that vote by such action when
the Company refused to give honest considera-
ton to their demands and even refused the
compromise offer of arbitration, should prove
conclusvely that the c. l. O.-U. A. w. is an
American organization made up of American
workers.
The right of these workers to their jobs at
a standard of living compatible to the Amer
lean standard is not going to be denied them
by gigantic corporation which has never
given first consideration to human rights, but
which has always had as its first objective a
high profit on its products.
Statistics have clearly proven that wage
increase, particularly at General Motors, with
out an increase in the cost of the product is
possible. The Government in announcing the
newly established prices for cars has recog-
nzed this and has even set standard price
for General Motors cars lower than prewar
prices.
INCONSIDERATE
There is not much doubt in the writer's
mind that the General Motors officials do not
care to operate their plants for the remainder
of this year Undoubtedly, their profits have
been so enormous that to operate for the next
80 days would mean a larger tax payment by
the company to the government Again l say,
they have no consideration for the workers in
their plants who have made such profits pos
sible for the company in the first eleven
months of this year.
There is another phase of this whole argu-
ment that should not be overlooked. 1t is the
argument on the side of management that it
has the exclusive right to hire, dismiss, and
discipline l do not doubt for one minute that
managements would grant 15 or 20 per cent
increase in pay if they were permitted to go
back to those things which they constantly
term the "Perogatives of Management"
Labor, on the other hand, cannot and
should not give up its right to fair hearing
and must constantly fight against the dis
crminatory acts, particularly of petty COM
pany officials
The struggle of Labor, at this particular
time, is undoubtedly greater, with more at
stake than had the cryStallization of this argu-
ment occurred after the first of the new year.
This should not, however, be grounds for any
lack of support by any real trade labor union
ist and every bit of morale and financial sup
port possible should be given to the employees
of General Motors plants who are fighting
battle for the right to live democratic, Amer
lean life.

Proof of what money can do
is seen in a NAM report to its
10000 members. The report
states that one million dollars
was spent last year by Big
Business i'm press. radio, pam
phlets, etc, to sell the Amer
lean people. Labor Unions,
with l6 million members were
being out-played by the small,

group on the field of public
opinion.
