SNAPSHOTS
by James Preston

Energetic John w, Snyder, 40
year-old new head of the Office Of
War Mobilization and Reconversion
and close friend of President Tru-
man, is frankly concerned over
what remains to be done to smooth
the paths of farmers, manufactur-
ers, merchandisers and workers
during reconversion.
A cheerful, solid Midwesterner,
experienced in banking Mr.. Snyder
regards rapid return to volume
production of civilian gods as the
best possible way to avoid imitation,
as well as dehation and unemploy-
ment.
A retailer after World War |, Mr.
Snyder learned small business.
Banker in Arkansas and Missouri,
he learned sound finance, Liquida-
tor of national banks for the u. S.
Comptroller of Currency, 1930-36,
he witnessed the tragedy of depres-
sion bank failures.
With authority to tell OPA what
to do about reconversion pricing
and WPB how to handle civilian
production, he is acutely aware that,
with Japan collapsing suddenly,
causing a slash in munitions pro-
duction "a large number of men
must find or change to new jobs.
Washington observers are confident
he will use all his authority to
clear the way for quick reconver-
sion
A man who makes quick deci-
sions and sees them put into action,
Arkahsas-born Snyder faces hard
tack. His pet hobbies, collecting
various issues of the U. S. dime,
and pictures of airplanes, will get
little attention for some monthsl

OKINAWA (Delayed) There
was no air raid and it would have
been a peaceful night except for
the rain, COW and can of con-

AS it was, a Navy chaplain and
two hospital corpsmen spent a

ing they're not sure whether the
COW or the condensed milk was to

Betsy couldn't give the pass word,
but she did the next best thing.
She beloved
Sohst tossed the first thing he
could reach, a can of milk from
his rations, and Betsy took off to-
ward home. She didn't get there.
She fell through the tarpaulin which
was covering the chaplains foxhole.

associate pastor of the Presbyterian
Church in Rye, N. Y.
Finally, Pharmacists Mate First
Class Virgil W. Yaeger, who had
seen his share of cows near his
Virgins, Miss, home, came up with
the right answer Besides, the COW
was on his lap.
We'll, there's no room for the

the visitors tail swished across his
face.

the chaplain. Sacred COW or not,

Lemieux grabbed the forelegs,
Chaplain Hobltirk the hindlegs
and, with the assistance from
Yaeger on the flank, they man
aged to hoist Betsy to ground level.
BY this time, however, their cloth
ing and blankets were soaking wet
and their foxhole was muddy.
Maybe we should have let her
stay" Yaeger shivered, "She was
keeping me nice and warm"
