Full Employment Bill
Offered by Murray
las New New Deal
By the Associated Press.

BY the ASbocldted FreSs.
Senator Murray, Democrat, Of
Montana. today laid the base for
a potentional new New Deal in the
Nations domestic economy by intro
ducing sweeping full employment
bill"
Three other Democratic Senators
joined him in sponsoring the legis-
lation-Wagner of New York,
Thomas Of Utah and OMahoney Of
wyoming. All four are rated close
to the White House and their views
frequently coincide with or even
foreshadow those of the admins
tration.
The bill would establish the right
to job, as a Federal policy, for all
Americans able and looking for
work who have finished their
schooling and who do not have
fulltime household responsibilities.
It states that if full employment
cannot be achieved otherwise, it is
the Federal Governments response
bility ito provide such volume Of
Federal investment and expendi-
ture as may be needed" to produce
the jobs.
To set the machinery in motion
the President would transmit to
Congress each year a national
production and employment budget"
which would show not only the
contemplated regular expenditures
of the Federal Government, but
also the estimated expenditures of
business, consumers and State and
local governments.
If the total estimated outgo was
less than that adjudged necessary
for full employment president
Roosevelt has estimated the post
war need for $4,000 900 jobs) there
would be deemed to be a pros
pective deficit in the national
budget.
That Is when the Government
would step in. The President would
recommend "a general program for
encouraging increased non-Fed-
eral expenditures" and if he didn't
consider that enough to cure the
trouble he could recommend Fed
eral spending program, including
construction of public works.
Henry A. Wallace, while Vice Pres
ident, recently Endorsed the prin-
ciple of the bill, declaring ''the es-
sential idea is that the Federal Gov
ernment is ultimately responsible
for full employment"
On the other hand, Senator Taft,
Republican, of Ohio condemned the
proposal in a speech last week. as
serting it eventually would lead to
the assignment by the Government
of every man and woman to a job
selected by the Government.
That, he added, sis in contradic-
ton of the whole American tradi-
ton" and is exactly the same sys-
tenn pursued in Russia today"
Speaking for his bill, Senator Muir
ray declared:
There are some in this country
who have lost faith in capitalism.
I am not one of those. l have a
stubborn and abiding faith in the
principle of private competitive en-
terprise and in the necessity of max
ing our system work. I am stubborn
enough to believe that we can so
improve this system that we can
eliminate its principal weakness
periodic mass unemployment"

Finally Jed did the only thing left
to do. He took his heart in his
hand and drove right between two
German tanks. with their crews
sitting there at the guns and looking
at him as he passed so yards away.
They didn't shoot. and he doesn't
know to this day why they didn't.
Then he stepped on that jeep and
went soaring across the desert, fly
ing over irrigation bitches you'd nor
mally cross in low gear. German
artillery got after him. They
dropped an 88 on his right, and
then one on his left. and then n in
front of him. They had him
pocketed.
When artillery does that, the

they never fired a fourth shell.

Things like that went on all after
noon. Finally it got dark. and a sort

By Correspondence

Afew months ago an Ameri-
can doughboy lay concealed
in an advance scout post
among Italy's hills, walkie-
talkie strapped to his chest
and straining every faculty to
catch any sound from the
Germans just over the crest
of the rise.
Suddenly he heard a gutter
al voice, speaking authorita-
lively in German. The Yank
frowned in concentration, try
ing to catch a few words. For
tunately, he had been study
ing German in "Foxhole Uni
versity" in his spare time, and
the knowledge of it he had
already gained proved suth-
cient.
Swapping open the circuit Of his
walkie-talkie he raised his COM
mand post in the rear. and warned:
They're going to move behind the
hill to the right, and send a few
men to the left as a feint. Watch
out for tricks"
He had understood the German
voice correctly. American gunners
ignored the feinting movement. fred
when the hanking maneuver had
been almost completed, and prac-
tically annihilated the enemy COM
pany.
This time the soldiers German
studies paid a timely dividend. but
this is not unusual as Foxhole Uni
versity's courses frequently improve
the students military efficiency at
the same time that they improve
his chances of success upon his re-
turn to civilian life.
Founded early in 1912. ''Foxhole
University" formally known as the
United States Armed Forces Insti-
tute, is now the worlds largest edu-
cational institution. In November,
1914, approximately 1000. 900 men
and women in uniform were study

self-teaching courses or in groups in
locally organized classes.
