Central Bodies Ordered to Assist
Returning Veterans to Find Jobs
Primary Responsibility To Provide Opportunity For
Veterans To Make New Start In Life

"1-That the American Federation
of Labor take the lead in sponsoring
and supporting legislation-national,
state and local-which will facilitate
the return Of veterans to civilian life.
"2-That efforts be made to work
out agreements among labor, industry
and farm groups with veterans or
ganizations and government agencies
on the proper kind of legislative and
administrative action.
"33-That the 900 central bodies of
the American Federation of Labor
functioning in every industrial city
and district Of the nation, form special
committees to help find jobs for re-
turning veterans in their localities and
to stimulate concerted action by all
groups in each community along these
lines.
"The Executive Council takes pride
in reporting that the unions affiliated
with the American Federation of La
Dor have carefully protected the SEN
iority rights of their members now
serving in the armed forces so that
this army of more than 100000
workers in uniform will find it COM
paratively easy to get their old jobs
back when the war ends.
"The Executive Council also highly
commands the action Of most affiliated
organizations in waving initiation
fees for any qualified veteran of this
war who wishes to become member
Of the union when he gets back home.
Beyond this, labor must devote
particular attention to the problem
Of rehabilitating the many thousands
of disabled war veterans and war
plant workers who have sustained per-
manent injuries as a result of the war
effort.

DICKSON SKIPPER
EXPRESSES THANKS

"Our assignment during the
Navy Day celebration was to sell
the Navy to Wilmington. From my
own opinion and those of my Of
ficers and men, it looks like you
turned the tables and complete
ly sold Wilmington to the Navy"
So wrote Commander P. G. o.
Ter, skipper of the destroyer Har-
Ian R. Dickson which was in port
here for Navy Day, to w. s. Nc
Mahon, general chairman of the
Navy Day program committee.
ION behalf of my officers and
men, l wish to thank you and the
others concerned for having made
our visit to Wilmington so pleasant.
Previously, we had visited num-
Der of ports" the letter continued,
"rnost of which merely took us
for granted. It was real thrill
to come into a port where all the
people were anxious to meet US
and eager to show us good
time.''
Commander Osler said in the
letter it was apparent the Dickson
was heading for the Pacific short
ly. He referred again to the hos
pitality of Wilmington and wrote,
$50 reluctant were we to have to
leave that the Dickson herself re-
quired a good bit Of urging before
she would leave the dock We
will be far away from Wilmington,
but you can rest assured that we
will always remember the good
liberty we had there"
In his reply to Commander o.
1er's letter, Mcmahon wrote he
would send copies of the letter to
Mayor W. Ronald Lane, to Will
mington newspapers and Addison
Hewlett, chairman of the Board of
County commissioners.
elm this way" Mcmahon wrote,
"your thanks will reach a great
majority of the citizenry of eastern
North Carolina"

VOTERS GIVE VIEWS
Army Of 100000 and
Navy of 100000 Favored
By The Majority
By GEORGE GALLUP
director, American Institute OF
Public Opinion


PRINCETON, N. 1.-THE
majority Of Americans 40
not think the atomic bomb
makes armies and navies eth
.er obsolete or less necessary
for fighting wars.
Despite talk among scient-
lists that nations may be
knocked out by atom bombs IN
a single day, the average
voter thinks the United States
should maintain peacetime army
of fairly stable proportions
about 1000, 900 men-and a peace
time navy of about 5O0,OOs men.
Further evidence about the ef-
feet of the atom bomb on warfare
may cause the public to modify Its
views. but for the present the ma
iority with opinions tend to dis
count talk of annihilating countries
in one day, and to agree with mill
tary authorities such as General
George C, Marshall that no matter
how scientific modern warfare has
become, the country cannot afford
to dispense with regular armed
forces.
From coast to coast voters were
questioned as follows in the poll:
s'Some people say that with the
discovery of the atomic bomb, arm
ed forces, except those to handle
the bombs, are no longer useful.
Do you agree or disagree with
this?"
Agree -------------------
Disagree Observation-Disclosures
No opinion -zoGo
In a separate survey the coun-
try was questioned as to the size
Of regular army and navy the
United States should maintain in
peacetime.
Before the war the regular
army of the United States had
about 10000 men. During the
war it had about 100000 men.
Just making your best guess, about
how many men should we have in
our peacetime army about five
years from now?"
The median average figure nam
ed was 100000 men.
Before the war the regular navy
of the United States had about 140,-
600 men. During the war it had
over 100000 men. Just making
your best guess, about how many
men should we have in our peace
time navy about five years from
now?"
The median average figure NAM
ed by voters was 100000 men.
A test of sentiment was also
made on the possibility, as posed
by certain leading scientists, that
if there is another war nation can
be knocked out in one blow by
atomic bombs.
''Some people say that If there
is another war, a nation can be
defeated in one blow by atomic
bombs and the war will be over
in few days. Do you agree or
disagree with this?"
The vote:

wish the discovery had not been
