who gave so much of his waning strength to the promotion of the cause of enduring peace, said just before his death
 "I am clear Tn ny own mind that as an essential factor in the maintenance of peace in the future, we must have universal military training after this war
 "A poll of American citizens, civilians and those in service alike, shows that better than 70 per cent favor immediate adoption of uni versal military training in this country.
 LegiOn's Stand
 National Commander Edward N. Scheiberling, who represented the American Legion at the opening Of the San Francisco Conference, said:
 Tn the months that have passed I have travelled the length of our land I have talked to countless men and women, in every walk, in every position of life. have talked with civilians, with veterans of the last war and of this.
 "T find them united in this de- termination: that now we must find the way to prevent another world holocaust; that this time America must be prepared to ac- cept her responsibilities; that Am erica must be ready to preserve and maintain the peace. This time, they tell me, America must be strong, able to meet any challenge that the future may bring.
 Wherever I have gone, they have asked me about universal military training, America believes in it accepts it as sure, firm bulwark against whatever the future may bring.
 America Is Hope
 America is the hope of the world today. It is on our vast strength, our fresh leadership, our unselfish devotion to the cause of freedom, that the structure of world peace must be built. We must say to the world, that Am 2 erica is prepared to assume the responsibilities of peace; that Am- erica is ready to do her share.
 "'We know that peace cannot be won by appeasement, it cannot be won by idle wishing. This time we shall achieve a militant peace, a peace based on justice and strength. Inherent in the plans for world peace machinery is the armed power needed to put an instant stop to any threat of aggression. We believe a strong America is the first step toward success in any plan for enduring peace. And we know America cannot be strong cannot be ready to fulfill her role of world leadership for peace, un- less our sons are ready and trained to fight. For that reason the American Legion is advocating uni versal military training-not as a weapon of war, but as weapon of peace, as a vital adjunct to the San Francisco Conference
 Pledge Support
 -- "The ranks of men from both World Wars have confidence in the leadership of President Harry s. Truman, a combat veteran Of World War I, in his ability to carry out the peace plans launched by his great predecessor, Roosevelt, as veterans of World Wars I and II alike, we pledge him all of our support, all of our strength, in carrying the conflict to successful conclusion.
 'In that spirit we bend our knees at these shrines of American heroism today. From these honored dead we shall draw the inspiration to make good all the. promises we have sent to all our armed forces shat this time we shall not fail in vision and statesmanship to make the most of their victory in terms Ie 11.+;,,n ,1oooo', sasF

Unhappy Birthday

The War Labor Disputes (Smith-Con- nally) Act, which was supposed to pre- vent wartime strikes, will be two years old on June 25. Probably the only cele- bration of the event is already passed a recent New York Times poll of group of senators and representatives to find out what they thought of this particular example of their handiWork.
 The results were pretty remarkable. Seventeen lawmakers approved the law as is. Twenty-two favored it with reser- vations (Some thought it should be amended, others said it hadn't been properly enforced). Six diapproved of it or would vote for repeal. Two were bravely non-cOmmittal.
 Even more remarkable was the fact that, although dozen or so would like to see the law amended, none could Sug- gest any improvement. A typical quota ton was this: Ut hasn't done any good and I'd be for any bill that is better, but l have no ideas"
 Most remarkable of all was this state ment: q voted for it on the representa- ton that it was anti-Strike legislation, but found out by reading the law later that it wasn't, so I have little regard tor it."
 We don't have any specific amend ments to pass along to the puzzled law makers. And even if we did, we aren't sure we'd tell them. After all, the mem- bers get $1O00O year plus new, tax free, $2,500 expense account for doing that sort of work themselves.
 But it seems to us that since the majority of congressman boiled felt that the law was something less than perfect, some one of them might do little ser ious pondering on the possibility of inn provement. The prevention of wartime strikes in essential industries would seem to be important enough to merit the effort.
 A glance at some of the shortcomings of the Smith-Connally Act might suggest a solution It should be obvious to all members-even the one who didn't bother to read the bill before voting for it-that this law hasn't stopped wartime strikes and that it has actually invited them by the automatic procedure Of strike vote in unsettled disputes.
 We wonder if the Smith -Connally Act really is beyond improvement, or if it is that Congress, having agrily overridden a veto to pass it two years ago, is now too proud or stubborn to admit that 1t was bonehead mistake to do so.

More Silly Censorship

One of Ernie Pyle's columns from Italy told of the death of Capt. Henry WaskoW. It was one of the best things Pyle ever wrote, and one of the most moving and memorable stories in the tremendous day-to-day literature of this war. No one who read it could very well forget it. For those who didn't, it was the story of well loved young officer, killed during days fighting in the mountains, whose body was brought doWr the steep trail at night by muleback, and laid on the ground in the moonlight with the other dead of that days battle.
 Ernie told how the men who had loved Waskow came by, one by one, to look at him for the last time. He told what they said-brief, awkward, grief filled phrases, Wrung from them by sor- row and by bitter hatred of the war and the enemy that had robbed them of an- other friend. It was inevitable that this story, which Pyle told so beautifully, would be incorporated into the forthcom- ing film based on his writings. And it was equally inevitable that the dialog should be taken intact from the original story, which happened to be one of those rare pieces of prose that can't be edited without being spoiled.
 All right and proper, so far. But then the blue nose of the Hays office intrudes itself and tells Lester CoWan the films producer, that it cannot approve the pie ture because it regards some of the dia- log in the Captain Waskow scene as expressions of profanity. AS we recall the story, three GIs used the word order of a profane phrase to invoke Gods pun iShment upon the causes of the grief which they felt so profoundly and ex- pressed so simply. They were soldiers, not eulogists. And considering the cir cumstance and intent of their words, 1t seems little blasphemous of the Hays office to brand those words as blasphemy.
 It seems to us about time that inter- preters of the Hays code be allowed to adopt a more adult attitude, or that the code itself be changed to permit some differentiation between tastelessnesS or vulgarity and strong words uttered in a moment of deep emotion This is the second recent instance in which the Hays office has behaved as if this tragic world were Hollywood set. It has objected to "damn" in film dealing with the Nazis' mass murder of Russian civilians. Net, if memory serves, it permitted a Hdamn'' by Clark Gable somewhere in the interminable footage of Gone With the Wind" Two major film producers, Warner Bros. and United Artists, have lately left the Hays fold This could be . hint to the guardians of movie morals that the time has come to wake up and grow up.

Devil and Deep Sea

spokesman for New York "con- sumer's council" condemns the idea of small increase in meat prices, provided it should appear that such an increase would kill the black market. Any ln- crease in retail price ceilings at this time would be an opening for imitation all along the line" she said
 Price increases are dangerous and should be resisted. But one still mar vels at this woman's logic. Eighty-five per cent of New York's meat has been said to be in the black market, where 1t sells for as much as two times the legal ceiling The inflationary possibilities ot this would seem at least as great as those of another cent or two pound in the legal markets.
 Another option, of course, would be eradication of the black market. Thus far OPA has made rapid progress back ward in that respect.

Waterbury's Trade School Plans

We sincerely hope that local and state educational authorities will effect con- promise whereby vocational education training school will be established here. The need is more than just the acqulsl- tion of additional educational facilities as a means of adding to our community's social wealth. it is vital factor bearing full weight upon the occupational vel fare of the youth of Waterbury.
 During the depression years the dearth of employment resulted in a closed door confronting the youth of the city seeking to serve an industrial apprenticeship in our industries. In many instances their fathers had served such industrial time and matured to become the skilled mechanics spreading Waterbury's indus trial fame throughout the nation. Proof of the harm resulting from this lack of apprenticeship opportunities revealed it. self at the wars onset when it was re- alized how few skilled mechanics there were among the youths of the city; skilled. that is, to the extent their fathers are skilled.
 A state trade school would have off, set that condition. It may need serve the same purpose for some after this war. It is to the benefit of our industries that the youth of the city desirous of enter ing the industrial field be assured of the opportunity to fulfill that desire during the years when it is feasible.
 In addition we must bear in mind that a trade school services not only the in- dustrial needs of a community. It pro- viGes training too for the girls of the community in such fields as hyglenlc work beauty-culture, dress designing and retail sales. Certainly these youths are entitled to such opportunities.
 Specialized training, as is afforded by the vocational training schools, is the theme of occupational endeavor these days. An opportunity given to the youth of our city by means of vocational training school is the responsibility of community such as Waterbury.

THE CAVALRY
(NeW York Herald Tribune)


 In military history the cavalry has usually played the most spectacular role. Even when misused-as in J. E. B. Stuart's raid around the Federal army before Gettysburg, or in the charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava-the cavalryman man. aged to catch the spotlight that so sedulously avoided the infantryman plodding through the dust and mud. The higher commands all loved the white arm" the gentleman's branch of the service. They clung to it despite the advent of the machine gun and the magazine rifle; they threw large masses of it into san guinary combat in the early days of World War I and then accumu- lated more horsemen behind the trenches in the Wistful hope that they might exploit a breakthrough, as in the brave days of Murat Hearts broke in war office around the world when the horses were sold off and the white arm" got itself all dirtied up with what MT. Churchill, an unreconstructed caval- ryman, once called the internal" combustion engine.

the same as it had been in Europe because he went at life in the same way. He wanted to live easily,
 without working. He envied those of better fortune than himself. He resented any kind of discipline. No doubt he had left his native land feeling that no man could succeed there because of old intrenched in- justices. He came to an America which existed only in his mind. He painted it not as it was but as he wished it to be, his self-indulgent tastes being as they were. But here in America, it was because they of its great opportunities, living involves the same problems as it does anywhere also, because op- portunitie$a without value unless they are grasped by a resolute spirit.
 When men have found new land in America, it was because they brought to this land hearts which were ready to take advantage Of new opportunities. Whenever we carry a self-indulgent life, we shall find living to be hard. Gen1ranhv

DISPOSITION AND BLOOD
 PRESSURE

x is a crack bowler when he ia sober. I mean when he is himself that is, not mad at anybody. kindly. loveable fellow in eed until some clumsy boob, his mariner or his opponent, often enough I. send one down tho green that undoes all the fine work x has done. Then x glares ana bouts and sulks and complains olt- terlv and kicks the bowls about, for all the world like a naughty how and you can almost see his blood pressure moutning.
 Y is a better bowler than X, m fact Y is one of the best in the business. Y is never licked until he has delivered his last bowl-and as long as a win is still mathemati- cally possible I'll bet on Y to do the trick with that last wicked wood. Y, I believe, is few years older than X. I have never felt the pulse of x or Y, but five will get you ten that Y's arteries are younger than KS. They tell me that in the more than fifty years that Y has been carrying on his racket no one has known him to get visibly lrked or to fly of the handle about any thing-and from what I have seen him take on the bowling green without muttered cuss, I believe it. I have needed him good deal, just by way of scientific investiga- tion of this phenomenon, but the man appears to be endowed with equanimity to an eXtraorolnary degree. He takes life serenely.
 I hesitate to dwell on this rela- ton of disposition to blood pressure because heretofore l have snlffed at the common idea that business cares and responsibilities have any, thing to do with the high casualty rate from cardiovascular diseasd Cheart- artery wearing out arterl- oscolrsis, angina pectoris, coronary thrombosis, chronic nephr { (Bright's disease) and apoplexy Cerebral hemorrhage, stroke or shock of paralysis). I still main- tain it is wrong to ascribe CVD to responsibility. It is more accurate and more honest to say the poor fellow doomed from the beginning he lacked equanimity.
 Now that radio and the movies are making the public conscious or the fact that emotions involving conflict. hostility, resentment and anxiety tend to produce or agra vate gastric hyperacidity and per haps gastric ulcer, I'm afraid I'll have to modify my teaching about nerves" a iot or title - but don't rush me, please. I must take time to think it over.

serve in high position. Another result is that leading ItalO- American believers in demo- cracy. such as Mayor LaGuar- dia, have been strangely kept out of Italy.
 The Russians remember this. They also remember how the British and American diplomats protected high-up Fascists and members of the Italian nobility when other U. s. officials wanted to bring them to justice. They also know how the British pro- tected General Roatta. one of the guiltiest of all Italian war crim- inals, who as head of the secret police had tortured hundreds of non Fascist Italians. The British even whisked Roatta out Of Italy to Portgual when Count Sforza arrested him.
 All of these things happened before Yalta. in fact helped in spire Roosevelt to demand the plan for Big Three consultation regarding liberated countries. So now the Russians figure there is no use locking the stable doc after the British horse is gone and theirs is the only one remain ing-especially when their friend is dead and they have to deal with anti-Russian stable-keepers.
 NOTE-Another Drew Pear son column on Russia, dealing with the explosive Trieste situation. will follow shortly.
