President Truman today signed
the so-called full employment
bill under which the Government
assumes responsibility for foster
ing a program of maximum en-
ployment, production and pur-
chasing power.
The President issued a statement
declaring that in the enactment OF
this legislation "the Congress and
the President are responding to an
overwhelming demand of the people. "
THE legislation gives expression
to deep-seated desire for a con-
scious and positive attack upon the
ever-recurring problems of mass un-
employment and ruinous depres-
sion," he said.
Bill Compromise.
The compromise product of weeks
of congressional wrangling, the leg
islation omits the phrase "full-em-
ployment." 1t specifies there will
be afforded useful employment OPP
portunities, including self-employ-
ment, for those able, willing and
seeking to work"
At the time the legislation cleared
Capitol Hill, Senator Barley of
Kentucky, the majority leader, said
the words full employment" were
eliminated in order to get away
from an implied guarantee that the
Government would step in and make
jobs for all unemployed"

Brig. Gen. H. c. Holdridge, re-
tired, of Washington, opposed pro-
posed legislation to provide for

such compulsory training in peace
time would undermine our ma

tartan viewpoints prevalent in the
Army"
The witness testified that he left
the service two years ago.
He criticized the Army as ''un-
democratic and un-American' and
said 1t teaches blind obedience to
an aristocratic ruling class"
Universal training, he declared

mixture of relief and admonition to
make sure it can't happen here.
Typical of that reaction were
these comments:

preserve the secrecy of the atom
bomb until positively assured of an
effective United Nations agreement
not to utilize it for war"

both surprising and gratifying
think that the atomic bomb secret
should be kept until we are assured

The church is a perfect society
which embraces all men. All people

The transfer of populations, he
said, has today become unfortun-

The church looks after those

The pontiff pleaded: Let us have

The church today more than ever
must reject the conception that it
must retire within the secrecy of

must be the church and therefore
