Many other subjects will be con- sidered at the fall session of the council, but the question of labor management relations during recon version and the ensuing postwar period is regarded as paramount.
 The present unrest and disturb ances which are delaying the recon version program are troubling the leaders of the American Federation of Labor no less than the leaders of the government.
 The AFL chiefs believe a way can be found for the orderly settle ment of disputes in peacetime if the proper spirit of cooperation is developed between labor and man. agement and if effective machinery is set up by the government.
 One of the key factors in the present situation is the lack of a clear-cut wage policy. The entire subject of wage rates as compared with prices and with the shorter work week will be taken up by the Executive Council which is ex- pected to issue sharp declaration on the subject.
 Entering into the wage picture is congressional action on taxes. It ap- pears likely that Congress will vote substantial tax relief to corpora tions for 1946. The extra funds available to business can be used to increase wage rates without cut ting into profits or affecting costs, in the opoinion of many labor economists. The Executive Council also is expected to state its views with regard to the need for reduc- ing taxes on low incomes so that the wage earners may abtain some direct relief.
 The present attitude of Congress toward vital labor legislation, such as unemployment compensation and full employment bills, will be searchingly explored by the council. AFL leaders feel that Congress has not only let President Truman down

TWO SCHOOLS of THOUGHT about CONTROL of the ATOMIC BOMB EMERGED CLEARLY from THIS WEEKS EVENTS.
 On one hand are President Tru- man, a majority of the House Milf tary Affairs Committee, some Sem ators and others who believe Con- gress should pass Truman backed bill setting up a national com- mission to control bomb develop ments and keep their secrets in the United States.
 On the other hand are 8 new as- sociation of 400 scientists who de- veloped the bombs used against Japan, and others who consider that any attempt to maintain secrecy will be in vain and may lead to a devastating war.
 The House committee is holding hearings on the bill.
 Major General Leslie R. Groves, who managed the atomic bomb pro- duction during the war, testified that other countries know the scientific secrets, but cannot pro- duce the bombs for many years be- cause they lack the vast industrial resources of the United States.
 Three of the top atomic Sciensists urged prompt passage" of Tru- mans bill.
 More Powerful Bombs Coming
 The 400 members of the new Atomic Scientists Association sent a message to Congress, the Presi- dent and government officials. The message boils down to these main points:
 1-"The scientific background necessary to develop the bomb is known throughout the world. Be- fore many years, other countries may be manufacturing bombs thousands of times more powerful than those which devastated Hiro- shima and Nagasaki."
 2-The United States, "with its highly concentrated industrial cen- ters, is particularly vulnerable to such weapons"
 3-"Merely having more bombs than other countries is not deci- sive if another country has enough bombs to destroy our cities and stores of weapons. Our superiority might be lost in the first minutes of surprise attack"
 4E"A world in which nuclear (atomic) weapons are owned by many nations, and their use held back only by fear of retaliation, will be world of fear, suspicion and inevitable final explosion"

Cooperation Only Safeguard

5-"We are left but one course of action. We must cooperate with the rest of the world in the future development of atomic power, and the use of atomic energy as a wea. pon must be controlled by world authority"
 Secretary of War Robert P. Pat- terson ond Dr. Vannevar Bush, who headed the governments scientific research agency during the war; testified before a joint Senate Mili~ tary Affairs-Commerce Committee which this week began hearings on bills for control of the atomic bomb.
 Patterson and Bush opposed a bill introduced by Senator Harvey M. Kilgore (Dem., w. Va), which would give Uncle Sam patent con- trol of atom bomb improvements and other scientific discoveries dea veloped through Federal subsidies to private corporations.
 In other words, Patterson and Bush took the stand that Uncle Sam should spend millions of dollars fof scientific research, but the corpora tions should own the patents and thus get the control and profits.

Interior Official Declares Failure
 to Reflect Greater Production in
 Purchasing Power Means Indus
 trial Stagnati0n
 Unless payrollS are raised in pro- portion to industry's ability to in- crease production, the country faces inevitable disaster"
 That belief was voiced by Abe Fortas, undersectary of the Depart ment of the Interior, at a confer ence on social work held in Phila- delphia this week.
 He said the country has not yet estimated the increased produc- tivity caused by technological de- veIopments during the war.
 But even in the pre-war years, he declared, "the advances were enormous. In 194O. payrolls in real money were only 4 per cent above 1925, although industrial produc- tivity had increased 43 per cent.
 Tt is in this area-the gap be- tween what industry can produce and what the people can buy-that a large segment of our problem lies," Fortas emphasized.
 "This failure to reflect greater productivity in increased purchas- ing power is bound to result in in- dustrial unemployment. depressed standards of living and in stagna- ton of industry itself.
 We must match induStry's pow CT to produce with peoples power to buy it's products if we are to avoid downward spiral"
 Full employment and social security, Fortas insisted. must be made a fundamental basis of our democracy.

HATS OFF TO THAT PROUD FATHER, ARVID JOHNSON, in the TEST GANG! Arvid's young son, Elliot, formerly of the Victory Yard and South Yard, SCORED A TOUCHDOWN on 58-Yard rum back of a punt to BRING RHODE ISLAND STATE a 1O-7 victory over Maine! We're all happy with you, Johnsy, because we always knew you had fine boy! =.
 DID YOU KNOW that the rea- son for ALL THE HAPPY FACES ON THE AMERICAN LEGION AIRES in the YARD is the PUR- CHASE OF A HOUSE OF THEIR OWN on Williams Street in New London? We hope that all you Veterans of World War I and II are fortunate enough to be mem bers and GET IN ON THE GOOD THINGS coming up in the NEAR FUTURE! ...
 THE PAINTERS LOCAL 1908 are having another meeting at the Redmen's Hall, New London, on Saturday, the 27th, NAVY DAY. They promise that this meeting which starts at 6:30 will be JUST AS GOOD AS THE LAST ONE that sent the boys home TALKING TO THEMSELVES! ...
 An EFFICIENT PLAN to settle any JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES THAT MAY ARISE IN THE E. B. YARD is under way in the METAL TRADES. A good yardstick in measuring whether or not you be- long in one Local or another Local is to ask the leading question of the STEWARD SIGNING YOU UP, as to just what their Union can do in placing you at your trade anywhere else in the country or the world for that matter! |.
 We hear that our ever popular friend, JOE THE ELECTRICIAN, from the VICTORY YARD, who more than doubled his friendships here when he joined the Main Yard boys has just received his liquor license and will go into bus mess in Norwich, his home town! GOOD LUCK, JOE! ....

but the nation and its workers as we'll.
 Another timely and important subject which the Executive Coun- cil may delve into is the status of world peace and Americas relations with its allies in the war. The AFL chiefs may decide to speak their minds on the failure of the recent Foreign Ministers Conference in London and the fate of labor or ganizations in Europe and the fate of labor organizations in Europe If freedom and democracy are not quickly restored to submerged na- tionS.
 Tn this same connection, the fail- ure of Great Britain to permit in creased immigration of Jews into Palestine is expected to be consid- cred at the council. meeting. The AFL has consistently and strongly favored the establishment of Pale stine as Jewish national home land after victory.
 Other international problems which may be passed upon by the Executive Council include what shall be done about the atomic bomb secret.
 The American Federation of La- bor went on record in favor of legislation to establish a national research foundation, financed and controlled by the government, to supervise development of atomic power and other war-born scien- tific discoveries.

Discounts Fears Oil Will Peter Out

Fears that this country's supply of petroleum will peter out in a few years were decried as baseless before the Special Petroleum Com mittee.
 Dr. Robert E. Wilson, chairman of Standard Oil of Indiana, said we can supply all our needs flor many, many years"
 Besides 10000, 100000 barrels of known crude reserves, he said, tech nical progress gives promise that good gasoline and Diesel oil can be produced from loW-grade bitumin- ous coals at no more than 5 or 6 cents gallon above present costs.

ACT TO PROVIDE
CANNERIES LABOR

Steps necessary to secure in
adequate labor to pack and pro-
cess OhiO's 1915 harvest Of fruits
and vegetables were taken today
by John l.. Craig, Ohio director of
the War Manpower Commission.
Craig told Ohio Gamers he is
Immediately instructing w. M. c.
area directors and managers Of
u. S. Employment Service officers
to give promp attention to all lab
or acquisitions filed by canneries
and, further, that these needs be
given a high priority rating when
ever an emerengcy develops in
vOlving the possible loss of harvest
ed fruits or vegetables unprOcessed
due to labor shortages.
Victory in Europe has not less
ened the need for processed food.
Instead, the situation is accent
uated by the fact American troops
can expect little or no food sup
plies from the soil of invaded
countries in the Far East" Craig
said.
He estimated $4,000 seasonal
workers will be required in OhiO's
canneries during the l945 season
to pacH an unprecedented volume
of sweet corn and tomatoes.
Eat the present time there is
every indication the number of
German prisoners of war available
for cannery work i'm this state will
be considerably less than last year
and also less than expected a few
months ago. Despite this, l am
confident that with the cooper
alton of everyone there will be no
spoilage of crops in the processing
plants for lack of manpOWer,"
Craig said.
This statement parallels as
Surance by the Ohio Extension
Service that adequate labor will be
available to Ohio farmers for har-
Vesting these crops.

Much is being heard about the
American Military Government
from Germany now. 1t will be of
much interest to many people here
to know that Major Herbert L..
Snapp, formerly of Union county
and now of Columbus, is in COM
mand of his detachment serving
with that group in Southern Ger
many.
Maj. Snapp, who prior to his
appointment to Military Govern
ment School, was Orientation and
education officer for the 4O9th In
fantry, has been overseas since
June 1914. 1t is of interest to note
that the regiment in which he was
serving in the United States was
the one to take the town to which
he had been assigned.
1t is the work of the ANS. to
help the defeated German people
to help themselves toward demo-
cracy and partial reconstruction.
On the practical side these have
become fundamental ploicies:

Resumption of production in ba-

Therefore, some of the duties of
these men assigned to various ci-
ties and towns in Southern Ger
many are:
The farmers, in order TO have
crops, must have something to
plant. The A.M.G. sees that he
gets something.
Broken water supplies must be
safeguarded against contamination.
Diseases spread quickly in such
areas and these must be fought and
controlled.
Art treaSureTS which are dis
covered are taken care of at de
signated places.
Factories are started again to
make such items as are badly need
ed. New tax systems are studied
and approved. Forests are replant-
ed. Looting is controlled. Most of
the looting is done by the ID. P.'s,
(the army initials for displaced
persons) a group consisting of ven
geance-minded slaves and war pTi-
soners just liberated as the A.M.G.
officer takes over his town.
They stave off starvation, put
public utilities in operation, and
weed out NaziS from Government
jobs. The men in the A.M.G. have
to be able to do any job that comes
along. Someone has referred to
these men as the brain trust in
Khaki.
