Don't Cash War Bonds,
Treasury Head Urges

Washington, D. c. (ILNS).-A plea
to war bond holders not to cash their
bonds but to retain them because the
Omitted States has and will meet its
obligations" was made by U. S. Treas
ury Department officials.
Reports have been received that
since Japan's surrender bond holders
have been converting their bonds tc
cash because of what the Treasury
called untrue" reports that it would
or could "freeze" bond redemptions.
Both Secretary Vinson and Ted R
Gamble, National War Bond director
urged the public not to cash in wal
bonds unless extreme urgency made il
necessary.
''There will be no freeze or refund
ing" said Vinson. "The Treasury re,

Messrs. Vinson and Gamble empha

men from overseas, to meet postwar
federal expenses and to provide bul
wark against initiation.

LaborManagement Parley
Set For Oct. 20 or Nov. 5
Labor and Commerce Secretaries Do Not Intend To Steer
or Dominate Conference But To Help in Guiding It

Washington, D. C.-The labor-man-
agement peace conference proposed
by President Truman will be held in
the nations capital Oct. 20 or Nov. 5,
it was announced by Secretary of
Labor Schwellenbach.
His statement followed a prelimi-
nary meeting Of representatives Of
the outstanding labor and industry Or
ganizations at which President Will
liam Green represented the AFL.
The conferees named subcommit-
tee to draw up plans for representa-
tion at the forthcoming parleys and
the agenda to be taken up. The AFL's
man on the subcommittee is Robert
J. Watt.
In order to prevent multiple con-
troversies from wrecking the confer
ence, the AFL has proposed that its
agenda be limited to the main issue
how to set up procedures for the
peaceful settlement of labor disputes
now that the wartime no-strike pledge
has expired and the National War
Labor Board is about to go out of
existence.
Both Secretary Schwellenbach and
Secretary of Commerce Wallace made
it clear that they had no intention of
steering" or dominating" the con-
ference but would seek to be helpful
in guiding it to it's objectives.

PACIFIC REPORT
BY GEORGE RICHARDSON


Special Correspondent for AFLWNS
l was in Guam the day Japan sur
rendered. 1t may surprise you to hear
that the victory celebration there was
relatively quiet, partly because there
was very little to celebrate with and
partly because Of the heat.
The important thing in the life of
every G. I. at that moment was:
"How long will it take before l can
get back to my home and friends ~
For the first time, our boys in uni
form started going in for higher
mathematics with enthusiasm. Up to
that point, while the fighting was
still going on, the men weren't SO
keen on getting out of uniform. But
the instant the war ended, they be-
gan adding up their points.
Next to getting home, the big ques-
tion in their minds was:
whats the chances of getting a
good job when we return?"
The next morning / talked to Ad-
miral Nimitz. He invited me and the
other labor press correspondents, who
were making tour Of Pacific out
posts at the invitation of the War anc
Navy Departments, to attend his staff
conference at which the windup OF
war operations was discussed.
Three days later we flew to Manila
getting there just in time to see the
arrival Of the japanese emissaries fol
talks with Gen. MacArthur's staff or
arrangements for the occupation. Nat
urally, Gen. Macarthur was very busy
But he found time to see us at his
headquarters and to tell us something
of the problems he would be confront
ed with as Commander of the Alliet
Occupation Forces in Japan. Later WE
had lunch with him and at that time
he spoke about labor.
Gen. Macarthur made it clear thai
the whole operation of the war was OF
a team basis. He regarded the pro
duction efforts of labor as vital par
of the victory team. If labor hadn'
done it work effectively and produced
vast quantities of fighting equipment
our armed forces would not have beer
able to defeat the enemy so soon
that was the very definite impression
he gave us.
We said goodbye to Gen. Mac
Arthur just before he left for Oki
nawa. Not being able to go along, l ar
ranged to leave for home Immediately
Manila is not an attractive place a
which to stay these days. The wor'
ruin doesn't adequately describe wha
has happened to that city. By con
trast, the reconstruction at Guam j

Whether the conference would de-
eide to limit it's work to formulating
machinery for settlement of industrial
disputes was not matter that Secre-
taries Schwellenbach and Wallace felt
they could discuss pending report
by the subcommittee
Their attention was called to Presi-
dent Truman's statement in his mes
sage to Congress, in which he said
that he would shortly convene a con-
ference of representative of organized
labor and industry "for the purpose
Of working out by agreement means
to minimize labor disputes"
Secretary Schwellenbach was ask
ed to explain what interim machinery
might be available to handle industrial
disputes pending the possible estab-
lishment of new set-up in place OF
the present War Labor Board as re-
suit of the Forthcoming conference.
He replied that under the Presi-
dents recent Executive Order it was
his duty to certify cases to the War
Labor Board and that the board
would be terminated as soon as it dis
posed on the cases in an orderly way
after the conclusion of the confer
ence. He added that the Cancellation
Service would also be strengthened in
the meantime.

| first opportunity to chart new ground
and make clear his own detectives
since he took office. Until now he has
been carrying out policies inherited
from Roosevelt. 1t was also the first
opportunity of the American people
to judge the caliber of their new Chief
Executive. Speaking for the AFL, Mr..
Green declared the message measured
up to the high confidence which the
Federation placed in Truman.
Aside from endorsing the Kilgore
Unemployment Compensation Bill and
the Full Employment Bill, the Presi-
dent recommended immediate and
Substantial" lifting of minimum wage
levels. He said:
''The foundation of healthy ma
tional economy cannot be secure so
long as any large section of our work
ing people receive substandard wages"
Thus new impetus was given to the
drive for passage of the Pepper Bill
which would set minimum wage levels
at 65 cents an hour now and make the
rock bottom floor rs cents an hour at
the end of three years.
The President also supported Ia
boris program by urging retention of
| price and rent controls to prevent in
flation. Otherwise, he called for
prompt elimination of other govern
ment controls in order to speed re-
conversion and encourage expanded
peacetime production.
AS an important aid to postwar re-
covery the President gave a strong
boost to the Wagner Postwar Housing
Bill which was originally sponsored
| by the AFL.
Furthermore, the President empha-
sized the need of increased pay for
government workers, goal pushed by
many AFL unions representing fed
eral employees.
The President asked only moderate
reductions in taxes, but reactionaries
in Congress Immediately started the
ball rolling to relieve big business of
its heavy tax burdens.

ReactiOnary Bloc Snipes at Vital Measures In Presidents
Message to Speed Postwar Recovery

Washington, D. C-President True
man faced his first major showdown
with Congress after sending it a |
broad and progressive blueprint for
rapid recovery.
The same Congressional combination
Of Southern Democrats and die-hard
Republican Tories that lined up in
former years against Roosevelt start
ed sniping at President Truman's pro-
gram immediately.
First target was the Kilgore Un-
employment Compensation Bill, which
the President recommended mot only
as matter Of justice and humanity,
but also as a matter of sound bust
ness"
AS the bills opponents whipped up
a campaign to cut out provisions for
expenditure of federal funds to sup
plement woefully inadequate state un-
employment benefits, AFL President
William Green stepped into the fray
on President Truman's side.
Describing the Kilgore Bill as the
No. l measure on the Federation's list
of must" legislation, Mr. Green warn
ed members of Congress that they will
have to face serious political conse-
quences if they vote against it.
He also charged that the basic op-
position to the bill stems from an Gun
holy combination" of state bureaucrats
"who wish to perpetuate themselves in
office" and big corporations "who
would like to starve labor into submis-
sion"
Meanwhile, another sniping attack
was launched by Senator Taft of Ohio
against the Full Employment Bill,
which was also strongly urged by the
President. He said in his message:
Full employment means full oppor
tunity for all under the American AGO.

Colonel Confuses
Arizona Names
With Japanese

TUCSON, Dec. 20-While a major
in the US. Army, Richard Cham
bers, Tucson attorney, never forgot
to put in a plug for Arizona.
So, when he was put in charge OF
abandon ship drill at Camp Kill
mer, and a fleet of lifeboats was
assigned to him, he had II of the
boats painted with the names of
Arizona counties which bear Indian
names, mostly of tribes: The Mo-
have, Coconino, Navajo, Apache,
Yavapai, Yuma, Maricopa, Pinal,
Pima, Cochise and Gila.
A few days later his colonel called
him in for a reprimand. What's
the big idea of labelling those life
boats with Japanese names? Won't
you ever grow up? Don't you realize
that war is a serious business?'
AS an especially Objectionable Nip
ponese name, he cited Yavapai.

Mexican State of Sonora.
Gov. Abelardo Rodriguez heads a

Jesus G.. Lizarraga of this city,
gratefully accepted by the Tucson
Regional Plan, Chamber of Com
merce, and other groups interested
in the Plazita project.
A tentative design for the mosaic
will be sketched by Dale Nichols,

that some Mexican artist should
finish the design, or possibly substi-
tute something more in keeping
with the art of Mexico. His sketch
es will be laid before Gov. Rodriguez

In the center of the plaza will be
