On TheScene
 In Washington
By Travis K. Hedrick

WASHINGTON - Summer heat and the lassitude of the season may be responsible, but some of us are allowing our congressman and senators to forget the favorite 1944 campaign slogan of ''6O million jobs.'
 Because the slogan isn't being used to any extent in Washington and in the home districts, there is feeli'-- among politicians that maybe the American public has forgotten the Roosevelt promise.
 It was back on a cold, windy eve ming, Oct. 28, 1914, when Franklin D. Roosevelt, ~ondidate for re-elec- ton, spoke to an overflow crowd in the big stadium at Soldiers Field, Chicago. Unemployment was rising through aircraft plant cutbacks, and gueSses as to the number of jobless that fall ranged from 5 to million.
 Then Roosevelt spoke s'and ii anyone feels that my faith in our ability to provide 60 million full time jobs is fantastic let him remember that some pople said the same thing about my demand in l94O for 5O,OOO airplanes."
 From that night on ''6O million jobs" was the central slogan of the economic side of the campaign. It caught on because the people un- derstoOd it. It carried more mean ing than the phrase ''full employ ment."
 Roosevelt got his idea from sound sources. In May of last year, the con servatlve Federal Reserve Board is- sued statement saying that the U. s. should have a labor force of between 58 and 59 million by 1850. These fig ureS came from the boards Alexan- der Goldenweiser, who took the size of the labor force ir 1889 and ? a normal growth of about a half mil lion jobs a year.
 In June, 1914, the Census Bu- reau issued summary entitled ''The Normal Growth of the L;tDor Force in the U. s. l94O-195O''. It predicted the working population would reach 59, ,l65, ,OOO by March, 1850. So FDR's slogan was just a popularized rounding out of those | figures.
 Of course the exact number, whether 1t be 55 million or 60 million is not too important now It is inn portant, howeverh not to let tories think that the American workers have stopped backing the central theme for all who want to work.
 The Bureau of Labor Statistics last fall worked out an estimate of 54 million jobs. Its experts, lead ing manufacturers and the Commit tee for Economic Developmeut found from estimates of manufac- turers, forecasts for agriculture and self-employed groups definite postwar employment need to guar antee 50 million jobs. To that they added a million and half jobs for workers normally moving from one job to another. and 2H million
The union times., 1945-06-30
moro for the postwar armed forces. That adds to 54 million jobs.

AAHOAO AOA tAC POStWdI dEAACO AOECCSs That adds to 54 million jobs.
 To this 54 million jobs will be add ed the number of jobs that open Up from new enterprises under orderly reconversion and the avoidance of postwar imitation. One government expert guessed that this number would be around } million more, or 5I million. These figures allow noth- ing for the possibility that the gov ernment itself will make work oppor- tunitieS.
 Pres. Harry s. Truman is a firm believer in the full employment program and his political aides scOff at the idea that the 60 mill lion job slogan has been thrown aside. He is for the full employ ment bill now pending in Congress tho one our enemies are losing sleep over. This bill has the back ing of War Mobilizer Fred M. Vim son, who said in letter to Sen. Robert F. Wagner (D.N.Y.) on June 4, ''But history shows us that business, labor and agriculture. can not in themselves, assure the main- tenance of high levels of prOduc- tiOn and employment. The govern ment acting on behalf of all shc people, must assume this respOn-
The union times., 1945-06-30
sibility and take measures broad enough to meet the issues.''


 enough to meet the issues.'
 Sec. of Commerce Henry A. Wal lace sent an equally strong letter to Wagner indorsing the pending bill He said Private enterprise does not and can not assume final responsibil- ity for smooth functioning of the economy. Therefore the government is the one agency through which t is possible in a free enterprise system for business and labor to expand pro-I duction on a sound basis without de-1 pression and without speculative booms." Both AFL Economist Boris Shiskin and CIO Reconversion Direc- tor Ted Silvey are still using the 60 million figure. Both said they had checked Census Bureau, Federal Re- serve Board and BIS figures.
 Let's not drop the slogan "6O mil lion jobs" Let's use it more while our weary congressman and senators are back home this summer. It ought to pay out, handsomely.
