 Wolcott then called for assur- ance that Sidney Hillman, CIO- PAC leader, will not be named head of the Export Bank, and concluded by complaining that President Roosevelt has not gone to the right since the November elections. The nation, he said, had a right to expect the President to make some gestures, at least, to- ward appeasing industry for the sake of national unity.
 But now we have Wallace" Vol colt declared.
 To this, veteran Rules Committee Chairman Adolph Sabath replied l:
 You may feel that the President has not gone to the right, that he has not made concessions for the sake of national unity. But do you remember the names of the men he appointed to the State Depart ment? Do you think that Labor and liberals wanted Stettinius, Clayton, Grew, Rockefeller, Dunn, and Holmes?"

When Rep. Fred Hanford's Committee on Ways and Means tossed the appropriations bill for the next biennum in the hopper a few days ago-February 20 to be exact, they probably established a record of some kind or another
 In l941 the bill didn't get out of committee until March H. and two years ago the bill was thrown on the floor on the first day of March and that con- sidered speedy.
 The appropriations amount to slightly over six million dollars hardly enough to take care of the existing agencies along with new agencies that are in the act of being created.
 check of the situation to date shows that existing agencies and those in the process of being created will number about 36 with administrative heads and commissioners totaing 166 It is apparent that a six million dollar budget is hardly enough to pay the bills that may be incurred during the next biennium.
 This matter however, will probably be taken care of as the proposed agencies created either in the House or in the Senate.
 The important thing is that the appropriation bill is out the floor for the first time in many session in time to give the legislators ample oppor- tunity to give this a-important measure the attention it deserves.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23

Not an important day in planetary government. The stars seem to help these who carry heavy personal re- responsibilities
 HEART AND HOME: Suffering is forecast and families having limited quantities of fuel This month will cause many to seek refuge in Florida and California, where unusually cold weather is forecast as disappointing for refugees.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Architects and builders come finder signs that seem to promise much activity in the Spring. Need of housing will be so widespread that special conces- sions will be made to meet emer- gencies. Novel materials will re- place timber. brick and stone.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Frank criti- icism of our Allies is likely to pro- duce international incidents affect ing the progress of the war. Until final victory is achieved, divergent views regarding European diplomacy should be suppressed as far as possi- ble by press and radio, the seers de- clare
 INTERNATIONAL A F F A R s: There are portents warning of men, tai explosions, adherence to outworn traditions and delusionS of grandeur which may cause grave miSunder- standings within the United Nations. The stars seems to presage closer re- lationS between the United States and the Soviet Union than between us and Britain whenever government is to be re-established in liberated nations
 Persons whose birtldate it is have the augury of year of varied for tunes and unusual environment. It is well to be cautious and circurn- spect.

STASSEN AND COP

Several COP Sena tors were furious when they heard that President Roosevelt had named Commander Harold Stassen, ex- Governor of Minnesota, as one of the eight American delegates to the United Nations Conference at San Francisco.
 Some felt FDR was trying to catapult Stassen into the leadership of the Republican Party, and de- liberately kicking Tom Dewey in the shins.
 Cracked Michigan's hard-hitting Senator Vandenberg:
 T assume Stassen is going to the conference representing the Navy Department"
 Note-The man who sold the White House on appointing Stassen was his old friend, Senator Joe Ball of Minnesota. The Senator has not heard from Stassen since Ball deserted Dewey and came out fol Roosevelt. However, Ball still thinks Stassen is the logical COP candi- date for 1948 and is quietly plug ging for him

 This time, the Nazi leaders have organized a Secret Service infinitely more ruthless than anything known in the Kaisers day, with the result that they have maintained the whip hand so far over any German military leader who may pine for peace.
 Finally, the Volkss turn or Peoples Army, thrown in to fill the gaps in the regular army, has made up in ferocity what it lacks in experience.
 Weighing all these factors, tor Allied military strategists figure the war in Europe probably won't end before April l, and should not last longer than July l. But in this war anything can happen.

Discrimination Against
Veterans

Mr.. Omar B. Ketchum, has called
attention to still another Of the
bureaucratic methods of obstruction
which are against the advantage and
interest of veterans.
Mr.. Ketchum discloses that many
honorably discharged veterans are
actually being THROWN OUT of
government employment, while tenn
porary war appointees are retained:
Evidence coming to this office,
he reports, confirms that the reduc-
tion-in-force policy of the Civil SerU-
ice Commission VIOLATES THE
SPIRIT AND INTENT of the Vet
erans' Preference Act OF 1914.
Temporary Wdr service aP-
pointees to high grades in the ciUil
serUice are being retained, Uhile Uet-
Grams Uho hold permanent appoint
nlents in the iolDer- paid grades are
being released.
"They haze eUen taken some
nonUeterans who held permanent
appointments in IotUer grades before
the rOar, given them temporary War-
service appointments to higher
grades, and noW that personnel is
being released are restoring them to
permanent grades while LETTING
VETERANS CO."
Congress should look into this
situation, for indifference to the spe-
cial rights and interests of veterans
and discrimination against veterans
constitute a special CHALLENGE
to Congress.
Congress has already passed a
considerable volume of preferential
legislation for the benefit of veterans,
and is expected to make the veterans
program even more comprehensive
and beneficial.
But if bureaucratic evasion is to
be permitted to DEFEAT the intent
of Congress, no amount of beneficial
legislation will be of service to the
veterans.

WASHINGTON - An atomic propa-
w ganda bomb with thick red coat
ing has been dropped into the American
armed forces
Every American soldier has been get
ting a btly-administered weekly dose of
subversive Communist doctrines.
Furthermore, the treatment is COM
PULSORY and under official auspices.
One hour each week, every American
soldier has been required to attend an
"orientation" course.
The apparently laudable objective was
to provide an educational and informa-
tional service, including the discussion of
current events, for the members of the
armed forces.
HOWEVER, much of the text and pre-
IL pared material used in these orienta-
ton courses have been shot through with
Marxism and the Communist party line"
as preached by the prophets and advo-
Gates of a sovietized United States.
In view Of the potential effect on mil
lions of impressionable young Americans
returning to civil life from service. it
would appear that the congressional up
roar over the commissioning of Commu-
nlsts in the army is like failing to see the
forest for the trees.
Through specific extracts and refer
ences contained in many of the hundreds
of books, pamphlets and other publica-
tions used in this army orientation course,
these articles will show:
That many authors or contributors
are listed in congressional committee files
as members Of Communist front organi-
cations.
THAT THE TENETS OF CON-
MUNISM ARE PROMOTED CONTINU-
OUSLY.
That military aggression of the Soviet
Union against Finland, Poland, China and
other nations are either ignored or de-
Tended
That it is attempted to justify the
Htler-Stalin pact
That the failure of the Soviet Union
to join in the war against Japan until the
very last moment is excused.
That the battle of Russia is glorifed
in detail in one of the books while the
gallant fighting of the American forces at
Bataan, Wake Island, Midway and in the
Detroit evening times., 1945-10-04

THE variety of methods by which
Il obstruction of veterans affairs
and rights is being accomplished in
bureaucratic Washington has be-
come a great annoyance and is caus
ing greater injustice.
The veterans committee of the
House of Representatives has
pointed out that such vital agencies
as the veterans administration are
unreasonably and unnecessarily
starved" for both Office facilities
and workers.
In the words of the committee:
Emergency agencies that haze
completed their purpose should be
forced to n1oUe, close or consolidate,
If for no other purpose than to re-
lease office space and personnel to
UeteranS' administration.
Amy program must haze en-
ployeS to carry it out, and these EN-
ployes must haze necessary office
space in Which to perform their
duties.
"Veterans and their families can
not wait and should not be asked to
uUoit months for the benefits Dhich
haze accrued ,sor the employment to
tOhrch they are entitled.
"The Ueteron WhoSe mind or
body Was injured in combat should
not be expected to stand by for
months for the government to RE-
DEEM ITS PLEDGES to him"
This situation has the appearance
of a policy of preference in govern
ment employment to the disadvan-
tage of veterans, when the proper
intent of Congress and the insistent
demand of the American people are
that the advantage of the veteran is
the primary concern of government
and that any policy of preference
should be IN HIS FAVOR.
THE national legislative director

Coral Seas Is dismissed with brief refer
ences.
That the Soviet Union is presented as
a democracy with responsibility for early
Communist terrorism and bloodshed
placed on capitalist nations because of
their hostility.
That while communism is never re-
ferred to unfavorably, private enterprise
and the democracies are plctured as
exploiting the masses and engaging IN
imperialistic diplomacy.
That the Communists are portrayed as
the champion of the oppressed in China
while Generalissimo Chang Kai-Shek is
etched as a totalitarian tool Of the re
dictionary" middle class.
That internationalism is consistently
promoted while sovereignty is scoffed at
under such Red party line epithets as
'isolationism" and "war-mongering,
THE modern army orientation system
is operated under the information and
education DIVISION headed by Maj Gen.
Frederick II. Osborn.
Each week in the field the information
and education officers receive an issue OF
the orentation fact sheet, Army Talks, y
to guide them in their conduct or orienta-
tion themes with the troops.
The thread of Red propaganda runs
through them.
In addition, the and f officer receives
from time to time "orentation kits" con-
tanning background material in the form
of books, pamphlets and memoranda.
1t is in this mass of literature that the
Communist Party line is embedded.
Two books in use for "orienting' our
troops in the Pacific are Changing
China" authored by George +. Taylor and
edited by Maxwell s. Stewart, and "The
Making of Modern China" by Owen and
Eleanor baltimore
Stewart and the Lattmores are listed
in the files of the House committee on
un-American activities as having Commu-
mist front affiliations. Owen baltimore
was formerly deputy director of the Owls
Far East division and later served as an
OWL consultant.
Both books minimize thought other
than that in keeping with the Communist
party line" and will be discussed in future
