A man ripped over Joe's foot, muttered, and looked nasty. Seem ed like Joe's fault, becausse his foot was fairly well out in the aisle of the subway car
 Two giggling girls came through the car. One stepped on Joe's foot. She said to her companion: Wood en cha think people'd keep their big feet out of the asile."
 Funny, Joe reflected, how only two months before people were care ful to avoid his foot. But he'd been in uniform then and wore a pair of bombardier's wings and some ribbons. Everyone fell all over the place then, avoiding his foot. The train stopped and some peo- pie got off More got on. Unghh! That hurt! Jce suspected that woman had de- liheiately kicked his foot. She had turned and was giving Joc the look that growled. Joe got to his feet painfully.
 You tried to trip me-" the wo- man was saying. "Delibertly stuck your foot out" Others in the car were accusing Joe with their eyes. Joe said quietly, T can't stick it anywhere else, lady
 "Too .lazy?r she taunted She was a stout woman-the kind that always seem to be standing closer tc you than you are to them.
 Joe didn't care for this. He point ed to his lapel. See that button?' he said
 What does that meanP" the wo- man asked, sarcastically. You an Elk?"
 Tt means I - -" But Joe stop ped. He wore a discharge button. He'd been discharged from the Air Corps because his left knee had been kind of mashed up. It had stiffened. When he sat down he couldn't help having his foot way out in front. out WildJ Wdo tiiC uoc VI SHPAHAhT ing? People didn't understand about those gold buttons. They scarcely locked at them. If they did, they didn't recognize them.
 This discharge button question got a kicking around in some official circles a while back. The flame has died down It may rise again. Representative Dabout (D-Mich) recommended a recognizable emblem symbolic of devotion and service. v He said on the floor of the house that indifference to the present but ton is attributable to its insignifi- cant design and small size.' He added that only 14,182 buttons had been issued. Yet there are ex- service people numbering over a million and half.
 Representative Dingell D-Mich) also claimed the House floor with a brief sharp criticism of discharge buttons. Two hours latr Rep. Kelley CD-IlD spoke the same speech word for word. No one minded. "It { was handed to me-" he said later. Wont happen again. From here

It Shall Happen Here!

He was an office boy, before the war, in Schenley's Cincinnati offices. Now he is a lieutenant in the Army. He expects to come back to Schenley, after the job in which he is presently engaged IS finished.
 But you can wager all the tea that was in China, that he won't come back as an office boy. This young man has learned something. His Army experience has given him a postgraduate course, and both he and we are going to take advantage of the undoubted, new qualifica- tions he possesses. 4
 Yes, you will find him back at Schenley soon, we hope. And when he comes back he will be tested for vocational aptitude, and then placed in a position where he can be happiest and where he can continue to expand.
 Certainly in the past three or four years there has been a growing pessimism and. Encouragement re- garding human progress. But of late we have visited with top managements in number of inn portant American industries and it is refreshing and encouraging to find that almost without exception these men are kindled with sin cere desire to restore human equi- librium, which has been so badly dislocated by this latest and most devastating of all wars. And we have noted too that management realizes full well that loyalty and efficiency on the part of employees must be earned; that the welfare of workers is an important yard- stick for the measurement of true commercial success.
 Our first obligation, when peace comes again to the world, IS to prove by deeds rather than words, to the lads and lasses who went to war, that selling apples on street corners will never be countenanced or repeated in America-ever again!

Full Employment Bill
Attacked by Manasco
AS Vague, UnreaIistic
BY ]. A. O'LEASY.

The full employ Dent bill,
which President Trun In has la
beled must" legisl; zion, re-
ceived its first major s tback. ,tc
day when Chairman N 1p' SEQ of
the House committee handling
the measure, called it vague
land unrealiStic.
The Alabaman, who presides over
the Committee on Expenditures in
Executive Departments, said:
"The members of my committee
can't figure out from this bill right
now where the money will come
from to finance it and just how this
financing will be achieved. We are
figuring on considerable reshaping
of the measure and will have q lot
of practical questions to ask those
who seem to think it will work
in its present FORM"
Senators to Hear Wallace.
While Chairman Wagner of the
Senate Banking Committee plans
to resume hearings on the measure
tomorrow morning, with Secretary
of Commerce Wallace testifying, it
may be some time before the House
committee gets around to it.
The Manasco committee also has
before it the problem of speeding
up disposal of surplus war supplies,
on which it will start hearings to-
morrow morning. The same COM
mittee has been assigned President
Truman's recommendations for
Government reorganization.
On top of the Manasco state
ment, came protest from Norman
Thomas, Socialist leader, that Sem
ator Wagner's committee has re-
fused. to allot time for Socialist
testimony on the full employment
bill.
Praises Two Features.
Mr.. Thomas praised two features
of the bill-its recognition that the
Government has an obligation to
provide full employment and the
proposed annual survey to find out
how many jobs are needed to put all
employables to work,
Mr.. Thomas statement read in
part as follows:
Senator Wagner's telegram re-
fusing time to the Socialist party
to be heard on the Murray bill is
an extraordinary illustration of a.
procedure which is most undemo-
cratic and inefficient. For months
Congress has had before it this bill
and others dealing with problems
of reconversion and unemployment.
Neither it nor the administration
did anything about them-not until
both branches of government fell
into a panic because of a Socialist
victory in Britain and the sudden
ending of the war. Then the word
goes down that the Murray bill must
be passed, and Senator Wagner, as
proved by his telegram to the So
cialist party, organizes a hand
picked hearing So the ways are
creased to put through a bill which
cannot possibly accomplish Its
aVoyed purpose J Owl
The Wagner -Murray-Patman full
employment bill does not atHlpgke
appropriations !. 1t does, However,
lay~down a declaration of policy that
the Government has responsibility
to assure" employment, whenever
an annual survey to be made by the
President shows that the estimated
volume of private industry will not
provide full employment. The steps
thy which Congress would augment
private spending in any given year
would be decided separately by
Congress at the time
