Opportunities Better
For Older Workers Now

Because Of their generally fine
performance while pinch hitting"
during the wartime labor shortage,
older workers will find employment
opportunities much broader in the
postwar era than in prewar years,
according to survey of personnel
and employment managers of man
ufacturing and retail concerns by
Northwestern National Life Insur-
ance company.
Hard-and-faSt age limitations ex-
listing in the prewar era were pref
ty thoroughly broken down during
the war and will stay broken in
many fields, the survey finds, al
though most large concerns. with
deep gaps in their younger person
mel, will conduct their most inten-
slVe recruiting in the 2O-3O age
group until their personnel picture
is brought back into balance.
age? We don't put so much i'm
portance on it any more" was a
typical reply from an employment
manager in the survey. Some peo-
pie act younger and are more alert
and vigorous at so than other peo-
pie at Is or 30"
Many employers who have had
unsatisfactory experiences with ir-
responsible young employees dur
Ing the wartime labor shortage ex-
press a definite preference for older
workers, who may take bit longer

and dependable.

Breakdown Of Family Life Is Inevitable
Aftermath Of War, Community War Chest
Director For Detroit Area Points Out
LEGITIMACY Divorce Increase In Wayne County During
War Years. According TO Statistics; Local Agencies
Face Treatment and Preventative Problems

Now that the fighting war is over
the people of our community are
beginning to realize that we, nc
less than our allies, are survivors
of a devastating conflict which
reached into every home in Amer
lea. Our cities are not in ruins
diseases have not reached epidemic
proportion, millions are not Starv-
ing to death here as they are in
Europe, China and the Philippines,
but America and our community
are not without postwar problems.
The demand for the services of
local social agencies, which receive
part Of their financial support from
the annual Community War Chest
campaign, has shown a definite up
ward trend, Robert H. MacRae,
managing director of the War
Chest of Metropolitan Detroit, an
nounced this week.
'Reconversion with attending
unemployment and dislocations of
families will inevitably give rise
to greatly increased demands for
services" MacRae said "A drastic
change from a war to a peace
economy cannot be accomplished
without severe strain"
Statistical evidence in Metropol-
itan Detroit already supports the
fact that the inevitable aftermath
OF war is breakdown of family
life. In 1914 illegitimacy reached
an all-time high in Wayne County,
accounting for 4 per cent of the
births. This is a So per cent in
crease over the pre-war years. In
February and March 1915 divorce
petitions filed actually exceeded
marriage licenses granted. Venereal
diseases among youth II to "a years
of age reached an all-time high in
1914. These facts present problems
for local agencies both on treat
ment and preventive levels.
A substantial number of the $50
600 men and women of this area
returning from service in the armed
forces are expected to make use of
War Chest agencies, MacRae said.
Already practically so per cent of
the client load OF the Legal Aid
Bureau is composed of veterans or
their dependents. he pointed out.
The Veterans PSychiatric Clinic.
made possible by War Chest funds
and the cooperation of the PSYCHE
artists Of this area, provides with
out any fee a high grade profess
sional service for veterans. Other
War Chest agencies provide various
types of services for veterans. These
services are expected to increase
within the next year.
Between Oct. 8 and 81 more than
10000 volunteers will solicit every
one in the Metropolitan Detroit
area for contributions to the COM
munity War Chest. Nearly so per
cent Of the $8,49O, 1886 goal will re-
main in the Detroit area to help
Community Fund agencies meet To-
cal problems. The remaining one
half Of the funds provide services
for our men in uniform and help
to supply some of the necessities
which our allies in Europe, China
and the Philippines need so des-
perately.
Plan now to give to your COM
munity War Chest!

London Poles would be brought into the Lublin Cabinet in order to make it a democratic government.
 Truman said that since Yalta this pledge not only had been ignored, but that Russia had made the Lublin Government as now con- stituted an accomplished fact by signing a long-term alliance with it.
 Truman said that the United States will keep it's own pledges and therefore expects it's Allies to do the same.
 This was told to Molotov in Truman's quiet but direct manner, coupled with many expressions of admiration for Russia and the de- sire for closer cooperation. After ward, he suggested that Molotov talk with Secretary of State Stet- tinius and officials of the State Department to see if an agreement could not be worked out.

an extra quota of Wagner, Beet hoven, Strauss, etc.
 The White House has had mdl- cations that the Russians also will go for a hard peace. Big remalnlnS question mark is the British. Many of their banks and business firms collaborated closely with the Nazls before the war, and after thls war they will control the most highly industrial sections of Germany What they will do with these areas remains to be seen.
 Note-Up until the middle of last week. Postmaster General Frank Walker was scheduled to be the U. s. member of the Preparations Commission. But at the last min- ute be walked into the White House and asked to be excused. Frank has had several deaths m his family, was deeply moved by the death of his old friend FDR, and would like to retire to pri- vate life. Ed Pauley, who will take his place on the Commission, says he will let the State Department handle his transportation but otherwise will not listen to their soft peace ideas on separations.
 Friends of handsome Senator Long Tom" Connally attribute publicity rivalry between him and Senator Vandenburg of Michigan as the reason for the leak about armistice talks with Himmler.
 For years the genial Texan has helped battle Rooseyelt's foreign policies through the Senate. But last fall Roosevelt began playing LID to Vandenberg as one of the leading -isolationist Republicans with considerable influence in the Senate, and at one meeting of Senate leaders it was especially noticeable that Roosevelt went out of his way to defer to the Michi- gan Senator.
 It was: What do you think of this, Van? And what do you think of that?" Until the neglected Sen ator from Texas was obviously piqued.
 At San Francisco, Vandenberg, also has been grabbing the ball and running with it. By all odds he has been the dominating member of the American delegation. Stettinius has sat somewhat in his shadow. Van denberg is the man most sought out by newsmen. He is also the delegate who had advised other American delegates that their strategy should be. to put out one good story to the newsmen every day.

TRUMAN'S ECONOMY MOVES

Some who read Wednesdays announcement of President Truman's first steps toward program for reducing unnecessary Federal expenditures the be- ginning of a fufilment of political promises made way back in 1892 before the election that swung the New Deal into power
 The first two blanks of the Democratic Party plat form in 1892 read follows:
 we advocate:
 T. An immediate and drastic reduction of gov ernmenal expenditures by abolishing useless commis sions and offices, consolidating departments and bu- reaus and eliminating extravaganza, to accomplish saving of not than 9 percent in the cost of the Federal government
 "2 Maintenance of national credit by Fed eral budget annually balanced
 In other words the people at that time thought they voting for less government, not more; an end of deficit spending by the government not deficit spending raised to the plane of social principle
 President Truman this week urged Congress to slash off a total of $7445369000 from war program funds already appropriated rejected The bulk of this would come off the shipbuilding program, but some 80 millions from various agencies and $369000 from the Office of Civilian Defense which the Presi dent abolished
 President Truman could take as guide the words of the late President Roosevelt who although he did not follow them, said during his first campaign
 Bureaus and bureaucrats have been retained at the expense of the taxpayer. We spending alto gether too much money for government services which are neither practical necessary In addition to this we are attempting too many functions and we need simpfication of what the Federal government is giving to the people,"

Meanwhile, Senator Connally has said little, sawed wood But the other day when news reached the delegation from Washington that Himmler had approached Churchill regarding a surrender, it was too much for Long Tom. He got even for all the news tips Vandenberg had beep feeding out by handing neWsmen the story.
 One little-noticed difference be- tween the U. S. and Great Britain on one hand, and Russia on the other, at San Francisco is the Western Allies attitude toward punishing war criminals.
 It may get squeezed out in the diScussione be ween Stettinius, Eden and Molotov, but the Rus sians took an alarmist view of the way in which the State Department squeezed out Pell as head of the American delegation to the War Crimes Commission in London. This commission is charged with work ing up dossiers against Axis war criminals and seeing that they are brought to trial instead of organiz- ing World War III. During the past year, sincere, graying Herbert Pell maneuvered himself into a position where he was scheduled to be head of the whole Allied War Crimes Commission. Instead he was thrown out
 Tn real inside story of Pell's custer has never before been told What actually happened was that at one of his last commission meetings in London, Peil proposed that every German holding Nazi Party membership cards from number l to 100000 (the men who originally founded the Nazi movement be put to death with out trial
 This proposal so mfuriated ap- peasement- minded British members of the commission that they tipped
 off State Department pals in Washington, who went to work on Pell and caused his early removal.
 Although several months have passed since Pell's custer, nothing has been done to give America real representation on the War Crimes Commission, despite the re- cent hideous NaZi atrocities.
 Here is the general conversation which took place between President Truman, one-time Missouri farm boy accidentally hurled into the Presidency, and Foreign Minister Molotoy, who before 1889 had never been outside of his own country
 The first 15 minutes of their 40-minute conversation dealt with regrets over President Roosevelt's death and Trumans delight that Molotov had come to the United Nations Conference. Then the con- versation turned to Poland, and Truman reminded Molotov of the Yalta pledge that some of the

with Molotov lasted only about 20 minutes and was largely a state ment by the Russian Foreign Min ister that he had been unable to reach an agreement with Stet- tinius and the State Department, so the only thing he could do was refer the matter back to Stalin.
 The necessity of having the con- versation translated into English and Russian took more time than the brief subject matter ordinarily would have warranted.

SATURDAY, MAY 5

SATURDAY, MAY 5
 Good and bad aspects contend in the horoscope for today There is an adverse sign for persons in au- thority.
 HEART AND HOME
 Increase in the birthrate will add to the cares of young homekeepers and gradually affect the soclai cus- toms of many families. There will be less recourse tC evening recrea- tions and more interest in informal afternoon hospitalities.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 This is a favorable date for sign ing leases or contracts. Government needs will continue to exact. intcn- sive production from shops and fac tories. Prosperity will be great, es- pecially on the western coast.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Minority groups of American citi- zens will cause many national prob lems. Resentment regarding re- strictions existing in certain resi- dence districts of cities may lead to difficulties.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS As the month advances, brilliant records will be added to the stupen- dous achievements of the United Na- tions, but warning is given Of a super piece of treachery in the Pacific Peace gestures may pre- cede an act of supreme despera- ton.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year in which fin ancial judgment is put to the test Good fortune is indicated but it is wise to watch ones purse,
 Children born on this day pro- bably will be stubborn but clever They should be wisely directed as their characters develop lest self ishness appear dominant
