Softball has gripped the intercs,

has developed outstanding talent

gave good account of themselves

fright into those who desired to win

so. II granted many other demand.

Actual effect of this first ruling
Will not be evident. however. fn,,

meat spring up as the result. and If
meat again disappears from store
cases. as before OPA expired at the
end of June. il will be interesting
TO watch the course of government
moves in an effort to offset the de-
velopmcnt. If OPA could not og,
would not act before, it may be too
much To suppose il will wade into
the problem now. Those who dcfIcd
price regulations before may be cx-
pcctcd to do the same thing again.
This does not mean that we have.
for our part. lost our enthusiasm for
the principle of price control. But
we are much afraid that most of the
starch has been taken out of OPA's
sails by reason of the long lapse of
more than a month and half when
prices were left to find their own
level. Many cost tags have present.

those who had the money and were
willing to part with it fell victims

American democracy that candidates

would lay the foundation for some
thing different that would deprive
citizens of their rights TO Il voice in

Many by their abuse of the priv

capacity To share II honorably. When
h / $ condition becomes common
enough. democracy will begin tu

Keeping UP with recurring reports of

IVFW Wants Strike Time
IGNORED in Job Riqhts

Charging that strikes and threats
of strikes endanger veterans re-
employment rights, the National
Legislative Committee of the Vet
eranS of Foreign Wars last night
urged congressional action to ex-
tend the period in which veteran
may apply for his old job.
Pointing out that the veteran now
has 80 days after discharge in which
to claim his old job, Omar B. Ket-
chum, VFW legislative representa-
tive, said the VFW would ask
amendment of the law covering re-
employment rights to provide that
the period from the taking of a strike
vote until final settlement should not
be included in the 90-day limitation.
THE returning veteran is in a
tough spot" Mr.. Ketchum added.
''If he goes back to his old job and
is called out on strike, he loses the
unemployment compensation rights
which are his under the GI Bill"
The VFW has urged inclusion of
veterans on fact-finding boards in
labor disputes because of the stake
veterans have in the problem of en-
! plOyment.

ave Says Housing
Farley Ignored II

Robert White, chairman of the
Washington Chapter, American Vet
Grams Committee, last night made
public copy of letter he sent to
the Commissioners objecting to theil
failure to ask a representative OF
the AVG to attend the conference
on veteran housing scheduled fo1
Tuesday.
With the letter, Mr.. White re-
leased a copy of another to Philip
KlutZnick, commissioner of the
Federal Public Housing Authority
stating that the Washington Chap.
ter of the AVG believes this a poor
time for the Government to sell the
housing it owns-that instead il
should hold the properties and con-
tinue to rent them at reasonable
prices until the shortage and in
f1ation danger are past.
In his letter to the Commissioners
Mr.. White pointed out this was
not the first time that veterans
problems had been discussed with.
out representation from a grouI
concerned. He said that although
no War World II men were asked
to participate in the discussions o1
plans for the new Veterans Infor-
nation Center, AVG assisted ir
carrying out the plans. Neverthe-
less, he said, no invitation was is
sued to AVG to the formal public
dedication.
1T is time, we believe, for the
Commissioners to become aware o1
a new voice in the land, a voice that
intends to be heard, and heard
fully-the voice of the veterans Of
World War H." Mr.. White con-
cluded.
