News for Returning Vets
AFL UNIONS ACTIVELY AID VETERANS

AFL groups in many cities are performing notable services for re- turning war veterans, according to a survey published in the current issue of the American Federation iSt.
 The survey gave honorable mem ton to the St. Paul Trades and La- bor Assembly, which has eStab- lished a Veterans Service Center on the first floor of it's labor temple under the direction of William Looby, of the Sheet Metal Workers Union, who served in the first World War and is a member of both the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
 At the center veterans are given information as to their legal rights under veterans legislation, where to look for a job, how to get ap- prenticeship training, how to ob- tain loans, where to build home and what union to join, If they wish to do so.
 The Federationist article points out that the AFL called upon all it's local affiliates to set up special committees to help veterans find employment and that the AFL's Labor League for Human Rights also has advised AFL affiliates to become active in community prof. ects for veterans. The survey con- ducted by the AFL magazine dis closed commendahle activities in the following cities:
 Boston-Two AFL representa- tives take an active part in job counseling at the Veterans Gen. ter.
 Buffalo-The Veterans Informa- ton Center is governed by cit- izens' committee. The advice and cooperation of the AFL are solicit ed. All inquiries from veterans concerning AFL unions are re- ferred to the Buffalo Federation of Labor or the appropriate local union. An AFL committee arranged a conference to set up program of apprenticeship training for vet eranS.
 Los Angeles-The AFL helps to bear the financial cost of the city's Veterans Center. During July the AFL Employment and Rehabilita- ton Section successfully handled 485 referrals.
 Portland, Oregon-The. Portland Central Labor Council has spent $3OOO to furnish one floor of the new veterans club. known as the George White Center. The Ma chinists Union presents each new member from the armed forces with set of tools.
 Seattle-AFL unions are active in all veterans projects. An AFL member heads the city's Veterans Referra1 Center.
 Aurora, Illinois = The AFL is fully represented on the city's Council on Veterans Affairs.

There will even be some new machinery

ably not meet greatly expected demands
Ten per cent of new farm machinery Will be
sent overseas, according to Owl. Still, some

New Job for Uncle joe

Gen. Joseph W. StilwelIs appointment as
Commander of the Army Ground Forces was
by no means consolation prize. But it came
at propitious time, on the heels of the Ledo
Roads opening and the establishment of q
Burma China land supply route after three
discouraging years. For if any one man can
be given credit for the Ledo Road, it is Gen
eral Stilwell.
His rugged, INSTANTLY optimistic leadership
eventually made the roads construction pos
sible against bristling hedge of difficulties
Bolstering these qualities were a deep know
ledge of China-her people, her problems and
her terrain; knowledge Of the Jap and his
tricks; knowledge of the jungle and how to
fight in it.
Such knowledge makes him an ideal choice
to train the troops in this country for the fight
ahead The training he impart should
make our final fight against the Japanese
somewhat less arduous. So we may count it for
tunate that a delicate situation in China made
his recall advisable.
Uncle Joe' Stilwell made no I-shall-returr
promise when he left China. But it would not
be surprising if the closing days of the war in
the Far East should find him in the field, help
ing to deliver the final blow

MOVIE INDUSTRY
FACES SHUTDOWN
DUE TO STRIKES

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 2.-tYEThe
powerful ALL conference of studio
unions went into closed session late
today as the movies looked un-
easily tward the possibility of a
shutdown because Of a complicated
labor controversy.
Stemming from action Of the in
Screen Players Union in
placing pickets at the gates Of all
major studios as it's juuisdictional
discussions with movie producers
broke down, the trouble threatened
to spread to other film unions.
Studio spokesman said screen
production continued unhampered
today but they admitted many
municipalities, carpenters and
other craftsmen as well as SPU-
controlled extras and stand-ins had
either failed to show up for work
or had left their jobs when news
OF the picket line became known.

BY KENNETH L. DIXON

IN FRANCE, Jan. 8-Delayed)
-R-For three days he tried to
write what it felt like to be going
home. He had always figured it
would be sinple-just one big out
pouring of delight.
But it was more than that
He got the news while working
along the front. One thing that dull
ed its edge was the realization he
would have to 60 back up there a
few times more Suddenly now,
he found himself flinching from or
binary sounds-friendly artillery,
for instance.
He kept going until the job was
done but he had to drive himself
Being alive was much more impor-
tant than doing his work. Being
alive was everything now.
He felt the expected surge of
delight all right but once back up
along the line he was ashamed.
There was bitter fighting in the
Ardennes Forest then with snow
several feet deep and zero winds
stabbing like icy bayonets through
the heaviest clothes.
Before going back up there he
had been chatterinp, wildly happy,
but now he was silent. You can't
remind men in hell there still is a
heaven somewhere.
He told few of his old friends
and took their wives and mothers
and sWeethearts' phone numbers.

Germany's Choice

Germans will fight to the bitter end That
is the opinion Of military experts Well if
that's the way they want it that's the way
they'll have it. America will also fight to the
bitter end. Two can do that
But it will be more bitter for GERMANY
than America. 1t means more casualties a
war longer drawn out, but the end will be
Germanys end. They will gain nothing by
oltter-endlng. 1t will be their own bitterness
Never will the world have seen nation LAID
sc low, without hope, defeat so terrible.
It's their coice, then. They have been SIM
gularly wrong in all their choices. They start
ed something they can't finish. They guessed
wrong about Russia, expecting to knock out
the Muscovite in few months. They were
wrong about England expecting to blitz Al
Dion into submission in less than a year. They
guessed wrong about Greece, think the Greek
would submit. They guessed wrong about
America, believing that America could never
get ready in time They were wrong about
the submarine thinking it could blockade the
rest of the world
&c. it's the dregs of the cup, twilight for
Germany, then darkness

Sensible Realism

1t IS pointed out by one Of the war COM
mentators that nobody now hears of limo
shenko, the Russian general who once was
victor In campaign against Germany. Stain
the commentator points out, no longer uses
general after he gets out of the habit of
winning.
Stain is called "realist", as if that were
1ault. Well, is there anything more realistic
1nan war? What could be more realistic than
victory or defeat? Winning is all that counts.
"hen general loses he is or should be
through. He is too expensive luxury. too
costly an ornament, to keep any longer. His
place then is on a shelf, along with other
relics and meseum pieces
Inc same thing happened to Joffre in World
war l. He was the hero of the First Battle
u lhe Marine, loading Paris taxicabs with his
soldiers and stopping the German tide. But

OPA TAKES ACTION
TO ASSURE BETTER
CONTROL OF MEAT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-UP)-
The Office of Price Administration
today acted to assure better distri-
button of good beef and to keep top
grade steaks and roasts out of the
black market.
Carrying out provisions of the
recent directive establishing cell
ing prices on live cattle, OPA Or
dered that slaughterers must kill
a certain percentage of loW-grade
beef in February and March in
stead of limiting kills to good and
choice cattle.
The action strikes at slaughterers
who have killed only top-grades,
thus draining supplies from other
slaughterers and causing mal-dis-
tribution.
Much of this good beef has been
going into the black market.

Transportation Crisis

The American railroad system without
which the United Nations could not fight this
war, is in the midst of serious crisis. After
years of doing the impossible with nc serious
tie-ups or delays, the carriers now find them
selves with greater problems than ever.
Temporary embargoes on the movement oil
even the most important civilian freight have
been necessary. The roads have been author
lied to cancel any passenger trains they see
fit
Famous passenger trains are pulling into
terminals late. This wastes the time of i'm
portant war workers, who find themselves fur
Their delayed by having to wait for Pullman
space for war-necesSary trips.
This crisis is not temporary. 1t gets worse
almost day by day. Conditions are different,
but they are almost bad as those that
caused President Wilson to take over the rail-
roads in World War l. 1t is very probable that
there will be, before long, rising demand for
similar action on the part of President Roose-
welt.
For the record in advance of such an out
cry, let's set ourselves straight on certain
points.
To have averted the crisis would have re-
ouired the acquisition of locomotives, cars,
etc., in large numbers; the provision Of facili-
ties and skilled manpower to repair rolling
stock under extreme pressure; the mainte-
nance of standby equipment and manpower as
insurance against storm conditions.
None of these things could be provided by
the roads. Any an could be provided by the
government if, in it's judgment, they were
more important than the alternative uses c1
Materials plants, and manpower.
If the smoothing functioning of the railroads
is sufficiently important, the government can
give priorities on material and manpower and
can restrict unnecessary travel without Selling
the roads.
If the public thoroughly understands h e
situation, the railroads will not be taken over
in this war. Nobody-least of all any govern
ment epartment-could do as much with as
little as the roads managers have been doing
and are doing today

They didn't resent his going, al
though they knew their right and
need was much greater than his.
But they couldn't go-yet at least
and he could, and that was that.
But still he fell silent.
He tried reminding himself ne
had been over much longer than
most of them but then he passed
the bodies of few who would stay
forever and that didn't help either.
Sometimes he would just let him
self think little about knocking
on the front door at home and then
happiness would swell up so strong
and thick he could scarcely con-
tain it.
But then the terrific, murderous
blunder of the whole Belgian break
through would reassert itself and
the old bitterness would return. It
seemed wrong and actually unholy
to be happy in the midst of it.
Just saying goodby wasn't SIM

many of them he would never see
again even if he returned to this
outfit after his home leave. And it
was impossible not to wonder as
he shook hands with each one and
said keep your heads down" if
maybe this would be one of those
who would not be around much
longer.
All those days he remained SUI
perstitious about writing home and
saying he was coming. And so he

became tongue-tied and did not
write at all.
Happiness stayed a strong emo
ton, but it wasn't pure any more.
A lot of it had ben snapped for
sadness from Tunisia to Ardennes.
A lot more had been snapped for
humility at San Pietro, for hope
lessness at Anzio, for a terrible,
unchanneled, helpless wrath at ev-

might find there-if people there
would be able to understand, or if
they lived in a different world al

like home again.
Then suddenly he thought that
probably the average soldier going
home felt much the same mixed up
way, with happiness and humility.
pride and fear and futility all stirr-
ed up together.
And so even if it still did not
seem to make sense, he thought
he might as well write it that way.

British Soldier, Rescued
By Rangers, Reports Most
Prisoners Held At Changii

U. S. EVACUATION HOSPITAL,
Luzon, Feb. l -DelayeO III
Most of the Americans captured in
Singapore by the japanese were in
Changi prison there the last time
Thomas Potter, a British soldier,
heard about them.
Potter was among those rescued
from the Cabanatuan prison camp.
Potter said many Americans
were taken to Singapore from ships
that were sunk by the japanese
after the fall of Malaga. He thinks
the able bodied ones were sent to
work camps while the others prob
ably were retained in Singapore.
The British soldier said health
and food conditions in Singapore
were so bad when he passed
through there four months ago that
thousands were leaving the city.
