Hires Vets and
War Widows Only;
Finds Them Best

VALLEY STREAM, N. Y.-Last
January the Commonwealth Air
craft, Inc, inaugurated the expert
ment of hiring only veterans or war
widows in its plants, to the exclu-
sion of others. The plan worked so
well that it has been made a per-
manent policy.
Raymond Voyes, president, said
the company, which manufactures
private planes, currently has 500
veterans employed at the Valley
Stream plant and expects to hire
1000 more. In addition, 1,500 more
veterans will be added to its Port
Washington, N. Y, plant.
Mr.. Voyes said that not only have
production figures increased, but
personnel turnover among veterans
is only 0.5 per cent, compared with
about 3h per cent among the COM
pany's civilian employees.

FOREIGN POLICY:
IRrnes Reports

Back from the foreign ministers
parley in Paris, Secretary of State
Byrnes took to the radio to air this
country's position on the important
question left at issue and reffirm its
determination to press firmly but
patiently ahead for world under
standing despite all obstacles.
While the U. S. may be tempted
to pull out of Europe because of the
difficulties encountered in drawing
q peace without sacrifice OF our
principles, to do so would be to risk
the possibility of another world war
in which we would again have to
participate, Byrnes said. Therefore,
we must take the offensive to assure
adoption of U. S. principles, he said.
Bluntly attributing existing differ
ences to Russian iockeyings for ad-
vantage, Byrnes declared that the
crying need was for European
peace paving the way for orderly
production and distribution. If the
Soviets continued to block the max

a peace parley, the U. S. will feel
obligated to ask the United Nations
under article IA of the charter to
recommend terms of a settlement.
In reporting on the Paris parley,
Byrnes outlined these differences
between the U. S. and Russia:
Reparations- While Russia
demanded the payment of 100 mil
lion dollars in reparations from Italy
out of production, the U. S. baked
because the financial help we are
furnishing Italy to get back on her
feet would thus be diverted for the
benefit of another country. y
Venezio Giulia- U. S. resist
ance to Russian demands that this
strategic province embracing Tri-
este be handed over to Yugoslavia
was based on the fact that 500,0 900
Italians presently living there would
be placed under foreign rule. In

Cro,Uded Future

Because of the shortages of
housing, facilities, books and teach
ers, the nations colleges will be un-
able to take care of a postwar rush
partly prompted by the CT. bill of
rights educational benefits for vets.
In reviewing the college picture
for next fall, Reconversion Direc-

of the 2 million people desiring to
enroll in higher schools of learning
will be able to do so, including $780,

quipment itself, may need an oc-
experience, and only by striving for
casionaI check-up on the part Of the
motorist, it is suggested by Ed He'd
ner, director of service and mechanl-
cal department, Chevrolet Motor Di-
vision of General Motors Corporation.
Motorists in the middle years age
group in particular should review
their driving pattern, established
through perhaps two decades of car
handling, he said, pointing to a
statement by Detroit police that 40
per cent of the city's traffic accidents
in April involved drivers between
the ages of 80 and 40 years.
While these figures represent a
departure from the current trend
toward a lowering of the age group
associated with highway accidents, "
/ Hedner said, they point up a per-
tinent and timely reminder to the
more mature motorist. Over conf
dence on the part of the experienced
driver may lead to the formation OF
bad driving habits. The careful
driver, like the athlete keyed up for
big game, must not be so sure of
himself that he neglects the normal
precautions that are stressed for the
beginner.
Dangerous tendencies in driving
can lead to quite as fatal consequent
ces as the so-called recklessness of
experience, and only by striving for
safety on all fronts can we reduce
our highway accident record.
Another factor in the safety pic
ture, of course, is the matter OF
middle aged cars. Faulty brakes
and steering equipment or warn-out
tires can be as great cause of &C
cidents on the streets and highways
as careless driving.
new car deliveries so uncertain
every perwar car owner should have
with the present situation on
his vhicis checked periodically fol
mechanical defects that might lead
to accidents.
"But no car ii sa safe car with a
careless driver at the Wheel" Hedner
concluded.

To Keep Radar Secrets
BY the A,socioted Press

Senator Eastland, Democrat, of
Mississippi, suggested today that a
new board be given power to keep
American inventions from falling
into the hands of foreign govern
ments which he said might some
day turn them against this country.
Senator Eastland told a reporter
the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee
he heads is considering legislation
along this line and expects to make
formal recommendation to the Sem
ate soon. The group is studying
ways to tighten espionage laws.
The Mississippian's comment was
prompted by testimony. before the
Senate Appropriations Committee
showing that Russia has bought a
complete index Of Commerce De-
partment reports on American mill
tary devices. including radar, which
have been classed as "non-secret."
John C. Green, director of the
Department. Office of declaSsifica-
ton, told of the Russian purchases
in testimony made public when the
Appropriations Committee recon-
mended a SAT ,285 900 fund to oper-
ate the State, Commerce and JUS
tice Departments.
The transcript of the hearings dis
closed a remark by Senator Wherry,
Republican, of Nebraska, that wit
ness had informed the Judiciary
Subcommittee that this country has
brought Russia ''up to date on every
thing we know about radar."
Secretary Wallace responded that
he did not know whether that was
true or not, but I rather doubt it."
Senator Eastland told reporters he
believes the problem is far broader
than the question of what materials
the Army and Navy might decide
need not be kept secret. A control
board, he said, should have author
ity to examine contracts foreign
government place in this country
to see that through separate con-
tracts a foreign government is not
securing ''peace-mear' information
necessary to build secret devices.
