SoIons Hit
 FDR PIedq-
Famous Poroeroph Brinos New Clash

Washington, Nov. 29- (UP) - Members of the Pearl Harbor h. vectigating committee clashed to- day over a 1940 campaign pledge by the late President Roosevelt that American boys twill not be sent in- to a foreign war
 Sen. Owen Brewster, R., Me, quoted the now-famous paragraph in which MT. Roosevelt said he would make that statement again and again and again"
 Brewster asked former Ambas- sador Joseph s. Grew whether MT Roosevelt's statement was publish ed in Japanese newspapers at the time.
 Does Not Recall
 Grew, who had testified that the Japanese papers in 1940 were giving prominence to Isolationist or Paci- fist statements by American leaders. could not recall whether they pub lished that statement.
 Rep. John w. Murphy, D., Pa., interrupted to suggest that "any fair minded person" would consider other quotations by the late Presi- dent. too.
 Chairman Alben w. Barkley, D., Ky, ordered that since one para graph of the Sept. 16 speech was quoted, the entire speech should go into the Pearl Harbor investi- gation records.
 Sen. Scott w. Lucas, D., H., said that if Brewster wanted to do real justice he would cite other epeech- es by MT. Roosevelt" He said he would ask later to insert other Roosevelt speeches in the Record.

Reconversion Almost Over
 Trumon Expresses
 Optimistic Views

Washington, Nov. 29 - (UP) - President Truman said today that reconversion of U. s. industry from war to peace production was well on it's way toward completion.
 In a news conference review of the first 100 days of reconversion, MT. Truman said total employment was rising after the initial postwar layoffs and was now back at the level of V-J Day. He added that employment is expected to continue to rise.
 MT. Truman said the disruption of our economy by the return of peace was much less severe than had been anticipated and reiterated that reconversion was almost com pleted.
 Administration Awake
 The President said frankly that he made his reconversion recapitu- lation at this time to show that the administration is not asleep on the job and that, actually, the reconversion program is far ahead of schedule.

 Powers Concerned
 Fail to Answer
 Gromyko's Chorge

London, Nov. 29 = UP)- Russia today indirectly called on the nations holding old League of Nations mandates to say now whether they in- tend to put them under the trusteeship system of the United Nations organization. A statement on the subject of mandates by the Soviet delegate, Andrei A.

 The problem was consideration Of a plan to establish 8 temporary trusteeship committee to function until some territories are placed un- der the trusteeship system when a permanent trusteeship council is formed.

Leaders Get 
 Favor BolIot
HoIf of Million Workers Tied Up In Other Woikouts
By United Press

Results of the biggest cleo tion in the history of organ ized labor today showed CIO steel workers overwhelmingly in favor of strike action, if necessary, to back demands for a 2-a-day wage increase.
 Workers who fashioned the steel and aluminium sinews of war gave their leaders a resounding five-to- one vote of confidence, the National Labor Relations Board reported on the basis of approximately 75 per cent of the ballots cast.
 The United Steel Workers (CIO), however, warned its members that the vote did not constitute authori- zation for work stoppage; that the final strike decision rested with CIO and USW President Philip Murray and his strike strategy staff.
 Half of Million Out
 AS USW members voted whether to tie up steel production, nearly half million other workers were away from their jobs in strikes and shutdowns almost universally the

 The appropriations committee said further study should be given to the use of surplus service hos pitals.
 Bradley has turned thumbs down on most of 60 Army and Navy hos pitals recently offered to VA az surplus, holding that most are badz ly located and that many are fixe~ traps. He said political pressure would avail nothing.

Clark Faces Hot Issue Of Job Seniority Rights For Veterans
(NEA Telephoto).

threatens to get worse as reconver- sion brings unemployment.
 It was some time after passage of the Selective Service Act of 1940 before unions realized what a strict interpretation of the unemployment section would do to their prime tenant of seniority.
 General Lewis B. Hershey, Selec- tive Service Director, realized the unions worst fears. In recent speech he said:
 Veterans must get their jobs back period. This, of course, is provided he meets the conditions of the law which are CD that the veteran receive 8 certificate of satisfactory service; CD that he still be qualified to perform the duties of his position; (3) that he make timely application for rein statement; and (4) that the res toration be not unreasonable or impossible because of the employ CTS changed circumstances.
 This means that in 8 state of decreasing employment at a plant veteran could return and ''pumb' an employe of many years standing, according to the unions.
 VETS ARE BITTER
 In the aircraft industry, for ex- ample, there are more men with re-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-05-29

employment rights who are in the Army than the whole industry en- ployed before the war. This would mean, if they should want to re- turn, that all non-veterans would be out of jobs in the aircraft business after the war unless it had a tre- mendous expansion, which isn't be- lieved likely. It is obvious what this would do to aircraft employee unions. They would disappear.
 Unions are willing to go along with Hershey in that veterans should get credit for seniority equal to their stay in service. But they say that forcing a man out of a job with more seniority than that of a veteran, including his length of service, is depriving a man of prop erty without due process of law.
 As result of the heated argu- ment, the belief by veterans organ izations that Biddle's instructions favored labor's point of view on the question, brought rise to the bitter denunciation.
 Veterans of Foreign Wars would go even further than Hershey. The bulk of the vets, because they didn't have jobs before the war. have no unemployment rights. VFW says these men should be given seniority according to length of service to get jobs. Unions, of course, oppose this.
