VOCABULARY OF CONFLICT
(New York Herald-Tribune)

(NeW YOrk derald-1rlpune)
 Overseas dispatches report that an objection by the Hays Office Tn Hollywood to the words "hell' and damn" may postpone indefinitely the showing in the United States of a war film which opened last week in London theaters. This Anglo American directed Recommendation of the Normandy invasion and bat ties in France and Germany was for time held up by British censors who found fault with the expletive bloody" word highly offensive to the ears of mannerly Britons, whe- ther in war or peace. The censors finally passed the film on the basis that 1t was an honest picturization of the war and the men who fought it.
 One can but wonder at the Hays ban and agree with what doubtless must have been British judgment that no true recording of front-line life can be made without the use and sound of explosive words whose power of emphasis and jingle of dirt fit them to vocabulary of mud and battle. For the emotions that war releases are not those which are expressed calmly in language Of either desk or drawing room. War, as those who fight it best know. is damnable business of death and destruction, which is too many of its aspects must rival the Inferno of Dante or Milton's hell.

POLLY PUT THE PELLET IN
(NeW York Sum


 Startling indeed to those English folk with whom the brewing of tea is a ritual must be the report in the London Times that the rising cost of production in Ceylon prompted studies by the Tea Re- search Institute from which has come tea in pellet form. Dispatches from Colombo say that instead of being withered, rolled and graded, tea leaves now are crushed to a pulp between stainless steel rollers, the pulp is dried and then compressed into pellets. Tea tasters say that the beverage obtained from this tablet tea" is very good. It also is argued that since it is half as strong again as normal tea and can be produced and transported more cheaply, it should be less ex- pensive for consumers. These are important considerations of course, but are they enough to revolutionize the art of brewing tea, to doom to extinction "the bubbling and loud- hissing urn," about which Cowper rhapsodized? Can they cause some future Dickens to write, Polly put the pellet in, we'll all have tea"?

Unprepared For Peace
By Peter EdSon

for civilian goods is. It only concerned itself with seeing that production didn't fall below basic civilian needs.
 Probably least prepared for peace is the Veterans Administration. Gen. Bradley, whose duties in Europe occupied him until few weeks ago, hasn't even scratched the surface of what has to be done to that agency to prepare it for the job of getting about 8OO0OOO men back into civilian clothes
 It's admitted now by all parties concerned that the GI Bill of Rights falls far short of its objectves But the changes that would really make it amount to something now lie in idle congressional commit tee.l
 First thing the veteran is going to do when he gets back is try to get job-his old one or new one But the government has this all fouled up The Department of Justice Seective Service and the Ma tional War Labor Board aren't agreed on just what a veterans unemployment rights his pref erences for a new job. The way it stands it is impossible for vet to get job in the automobile industry, for instance.
 Even owl is caught fat-footed For many weeks before VIE Day it had dreams of Nov it can be told" information for the press and radio It wasn't until the announcement of the atomic bomb that it dawned on them they'd better be getting to work the V-J story
 Apparently OWI as well as the rest of tlle gov- ernment agencies believed the constant assertions of the War and Navy Departments that it would take months, maybe years to lick the Japs. This done of course to keep up production and without know ing the atomic bomb coming.
 It is difficult to assess the blame to either Con- gress the administration for the lack of adequate planning, but when the jubiation peace and victory wears off somebody in for lot of explain ing

Toward Industrial Peace

Now that the long-awaited, long-needed conference labor industry and is definite possibility it might be well to remember that here at the San Fran cisco Conference miracles to be expected Yet It should be remembered that the accomplishments at San Francisco miraculous enough to convince Sen Arthur Vandenberg that the procedure which worked so well TOT
 world peace might also achieve industrial and economic at home An he proposed to Labor secretary .schwelenbach sympathetic and kemnded listener that he call this domestic peace conference In his letter to the Secretary, Mr. Vandenberg wrote Ut was demon Sraed at San Francisco that agree even though they speak different languages They cannot agree unless there is denominator in their thinking There must be of mutual confidence in their approach"
 The impressive thing about San Francisco was that 50 nations had together because of an undeniaby sincere desire for lasting which urounted the bar
 tiers of language It is true the senator pointed out that among the strong nations this desire was coored by Considerations of senteres that at times seemed nsur nlountable. But intimate and friendly consultation achieved triumph of the council table, Thus far labor and industry generally have seemed to be more deSrous of SentereSt than of It has been emphasized with dScouragng frequency that too many leaders on both
 sides have been eager for mutual accusations of bad faith and doing than for mutual trust An excep
 ton to that statement is the charter of months ago, but that laudable document aid not receive unanimous support And elsewhere there has Been little real opportunity for intimate and friendly consultation since genuine urge for peacemul solution was lacking.
 Still the trend toward industrial peace is hopeful and industry and labor while not in the seem ready to follow It be hoped that the coming conference Will include not only the abormanagement equivalent of the ABig Five powers but also representatives from small be hoped that the conference will heed MI Schweenbachs advice that without asking either side to abandon It's selfinerest must insist that selfntereSt shall serve the public interests and the common good"

Fe.fson Amy-Navy refusal to reconvert war plants and hoarding of a tremendous number of men in the Army.
 He told the President how Congress has been screaming because the Army won't release the few thousand men needed to run the railroads and mines during the winter. He also revealed how all his eff forts to get the brass hats to cut back manpower and procurement had met with failure Snyder told Truman flatly that unless something was done immediately, the nation might have as many as 20O000O0 unemployed on its hands within 12 months
 Perhaps realizing that J Japanese surrender was bad that sudden peace with Japan might paralyze the entire civilian economy.
 The war mobilizer complained that he had been called of inaction, but said it was impossible to act unless he had sufficient backing to overrule Army Navy brass hats.
 Next morning Truman hastily summoned his good friend Sen Harley Kilgore of West Virginia, asked him how bad the situation was. Kilgore re- ported that it terrible and likely to break wide open any moment He also told the President that Army-Navy manpower hoarding was the crux of the matter.
 Truman asked Kilgore to get to work at once on passage of the legislative program which Kilgore long has advocated.
 Meanwhile piled up in the White House is Q stack of indignant reports from businessmen telling Truman how the entire reconversion picture was be- ing wrecked.
 Note-Republican leaGers have been putting their heads together to make the most of postwar eco- homie dslocaon when it comes to the 1946 and 1948 | election campaigns.
 Inside fact is that the vital question of whether we should permit Emperor Hlrohlto to stay on the throne was attended by weeks of backstage discus sion dating back to before President Truman went to PotSdam.
 spearhead of the Hirohito clique inside the State Department was led by Under Secretary Joe Grew, for many years U. S. Ambassador to Japan, and the man who convinced Roosevelt we should continue sending scrap iron and oil to Japan. f. Chief opposition to Grew inside the State De- partment led by Assistant Secretary Dean Ache son. Acheson however fought losing battle. Grew convinced Secretary of War Stimson and Secretary of the Navy Forrestal that he was right He drew up formula, later used the basis for the Potsdam declaration in which Hirohito was not mentioned Crews argument that Hirohito could be used puppet by the Allies just as the Jap fasciss had used him. It also argued that there would be chaos in Japan without the Emperor. But the most effective argument that Hirohto could order Jap troops in Manchulia China, Singapore and the Dutch East Indies to surrender. Otherwise they might be fighting guerrilla warfare for months This it argued, would save many American lives
 This latter argument especially appealed to President Truman.

 No machinery exists to do anything for the mill lions who will immediately be out of work except the various state Social Security agencies On top being out of work a large percentage of the unem- ployed find themselves far from home War Man. power Commission isn't equipped to do anything about it.
 Quick reconversion of industry would solve many of the problems but the government hasn't given businessmen chance to do any concrete planning.
 Statistical information which the government fur. nished business and industry about markets, popua- tion production, etc.. during peacetme was not gath- cred during the war. Vital for planning these fig ures don't exist now.

A Thought for Today
Low-Flying Planes

Waterbury is situated that planes flying low are bit startling Residents living the slopes of hlsur- rounded city often dash to their yards and porches to see just close the passing plane is to their rooops and nearby roof-tops and nearby trees
 And believe they fly pretty close to the tree-tops Those do not reside in the downtown sections the val ley dwelers located high ground on levels be- tween the low and the high ground that describes the local topography. They know sometimes from the roar, that passing planes fairly close In fact they scud by too close to the housetops.
 The questions are asked-why do they fly so low? Are they not restricted by army rules to maintain certain heights at all times particularly flying town or cty Yes we believe this true but regardless of the fact one hears planes day and night them in fact which must be flying contrary to specific rules ,,,....
 The past two weeks it seems we have heard more comment on fact than time Perhaps the tragic event New York City when the paneintheog crashed rto the Empire State building has made us unusually of the owness of planes that pass ill the night and during the day.

THE CORN IS GREEN

(The Hartford Courant).
 Supplanting the earlier, more pes simistic view of current American food crops is the new estimate that the 1945 food and feed crops in the United States will reach bumper proportions, and will probably be only slightly below the record crops of 1922 and 1944. According to the Department of Agriculture generally favorable growing diti o n s throughout most of the country dur ing July may result in a harvest that will be 4 per cent greater than last year, and exceed the ten-year average from 1929 to 1882 by 21 per cent.
 Corn prospects especially showed marked improvement during July, and much of the lost ground from unfavorable weather has been made up. Some crops. such as wheat and oats, may be the greatest on record so, all in all, it appears that the American farmer las once more come through despite setbacks and handicaps that would long ago have discouraged less preserving breed of men.

 *These guys trust each other They evidently don't steal from each other. There may be excptions This is huge Army and nobodys trying to claim that it's an exclusive association of angels But I've seen pen- ty of men leave their weekly ration of cigarets and other irreplaceabe treasures around while they did sudden errand. Although hours might pass. they still were there when the owner came back
 You can do lot with a cigaret-with just one teeming with four-pound brown trout in stream below Salzburg, and who hitched ride to Munich German sporting goods store and the woman pro- duced trout line flies and leaders, but said that was all she had left The soldier, happy to get that much, gave her pack Of cigaretS. '
 She looked at him uncomprehendingy, told hi@ to wait. and frim in back somewhere she produced a fine fly rod and reel which she proceeded to gye said he supposed she crazy What he didn't know was that in the last days of Hitler, the German black market price for cgarets was 60 marks apiece There's no to believe that it's cheapened any since He'd therefore given her l200 marks worth of cigarets and if the Germans consider the mark worth 40 cents they tell he'd given the woman s480 worth of barterng material
 The young man said he caught two fine strings of IS trout apiece. That's the on-the-record power of these cigarets these young gentlemen leave lying
 CiEarets aren't all. Almost all of thsa havt vaI- uabe souvenirs There practically isn't soldier who saw any part of German combat who hasn's rom one to hak-dozen cameras. field slasses, German pistols, and similar items that are really worth money But every soldier seems to have his own and to respect everybody else's.
 These guys aren't angels. But the hlncr. for. beafance. the patience. the generosity and what guess you'd call the honor of this massive outfit gets me Maybe its the discipline. Maybe its what they went through together but whate"er it ls, tho home front really can take eome lessons. M}

Whats The Score?

The Selective Service Law states that under normal conditions veteran is entitled to his old job one of like seniority status and pay That says Seectve Service guar antee him job That the Department of Labor guar sntees him seniority.
 Meanwhile, Col James S. Erwin president of the Trl State Industrial Association has briefly put it, the re- turned veteran the worker and the employer all have their rights Nobody now knows what they are"
 But at least the employer knows that, whichever in- Depreciation of the law he chooses he may be taken before the War Labor Board for violating either the Selectve Service Law union contract.
 It's about time the disputng agencies found an un1- pe let him settle the point accepted his decision and made it stick.
