Asked by Navy

WASHINGTON, Sept. s tUP)
Chairman David l. Walsh of the
Senate naval affairs committee
today asked the navy to reor-
ganize its discharge program TO
give better break to combat
veterans.

point PROGRAM which would credit

combat participation stars, age,
length Of service, length OF sea
service and dependents.
The navy'S present point sys-
TEN considers only age, length of
service and dependents.
In letter TO Secretary OF the
Navy Forrestal. Walsh also urged
that the navy liberalize its rules
for the discharge of men who
want to resume studies of medi-
cine or other scientific matters
and for older men who desire to
re-enter civil life.

NEW YORK CTTY-WDL)-ROse
Pesotta, widely known trade union or
ganizer, has had the satisfaction of see
ing the first edition Of her book, Bread
Upon the Waters sold out in less than
two months. This is unusual for a volume
on a labor subject. A second edition
has just been issued by Dodd-Mead.
Lauded by reviewers in both the daily
and the labor press. that work portrays
the struggle for labor's rights in this
country and its greatest years, 1882,
from the viewpoint of one who played a
militant part in it. Several economics
professors have recommended it as vital

KAISER OPPOSES
SCRAPPING u. S.
OWNED PLANTS

WASHINCTON-GP)-The hope Of
fun production to keep the high stan
dard Of living attained during the war
obviously involves the utilization Of gov
ernment-owned war plants when peace
returns.
That, in a nutshell. is the stand Of
Shipbuilder Henry J. Kaiser who testi-
fled March 6 before the small business
committee of the U. S. Senate. The com
mittee is currently looking into the stu
alton has to the light metals industry.
Kaiser said there are three alterna-
tives as TO the government-owned plants.
"'The first is to junk these factories, tear
them down or close them up. I cannot
believe that either of these alternatives
would represent the will Of the peoples
OF the intention Of Congress. The third
alternative is that these facilities should
be made available to industry for the
creation of employment without which
we can have neither peace nor prosperity.
The history of our country shows
that industry has the know how to make
use Of such facilities. To me this is the
democratic way and it conforms with our
American methods Of production.
Il do not believe that many Of our
people want to change either our form Of
government or the basic essentials Of
free enterprise"
Kaiser then enumerated his viewpoint
on the basic problem as:
Il believe that these government
owned plants should be operated as soon
as the war is owe for the benefit and
prosperity OF our people.
Il believe they should be operated by
American industry on either a lease or
purchase basis which will be equitable for
the established private enterprises which
have investments in comparable plants
and at the same time stimulate and
encourage competition.
until such time as the government
can properly determine the effect OF
these plants on employment, they should
be disposed of on terms which would
give every operator a fair and equitable
opportunity to demonstrate his ability to
operate them for employment and not to
close them down"
The west coast s%hipbuilder said the
people of the u. S. are saying: we ere
ated these plants in time Of war. These
plants were paid for and will be paid
out OF taxes during wartime. They are
paid for from the peoples earnings.
They are here and are essential to our
peace and prosperity in the future"
