News for Returning Vets
Terminal Pay

President Truman has proposed a compromise plan to use govern ment bonds, as well as cash, in paying approximately 13,600,O00 war veterans for accumulated fur tough time.
 Under this plan, veterans who served in the ranks would get cash for all terminal leave payments less than $50.OO and five year bonds in $25.0O denominations for larger amounts.
 The estimated cost of this plan, advanced by the budget bureau, will be in the neighborhood of three-billion dollars.
 The plan is intended to avoid inflationary effects of making a huge cash payment at once.
 The new plan for paying all en- listed personnel the same terminal leave payments received by com missioned officers, was pre- Sented at a session of the Senate
  9th. A payment bill has already passed the House.
 The House approved am imme- diate cash payment to all enlisted and n-commiSSioned personnel, similar to the officers terminal pay. This is at a rate of 212' days month, less time off for passes and furloughs.
 Under the new plan, full cash payments would be made to all servicemen and women, who were released before January 1, 1943, and to survivors of veterans.
 In all other cases where the amount due was over $5O00, the veterans would receive five-year bonds which would be non-negoti- able and would draw 214 per cent interest year.
 If a veteran had $62.0O coming, he would get $12.00 cash and two $25.00 bonds.

 Any organized efforts at spread ing seeds of discontent and doubt with our fellow-countrymen with out foundation of true and complete facts and figures to back up the harangue is not just an American party political attack, it is easily recognized by our intelligent read ing public as backed solidly by the sinister forces of the world.
 DIVIDE AND CONQUER have been the watchwords of both the Fascist and Communistic move- ments. DOUBT AND INDECI- SION breeds finally open DISa TRUST. Open distrust breeds hatred. Hatred brings civil strife and revolution. Revolution brings complete chaos and disorganization, a state highly desired by our in- compatible RED COMRADES and underground Fascists across the seas.

 The canned goods" containing clements that are without nour- ishing calories of life, being of an undigestible quality in cheap con- tainers, and canned only to supply an enormous profit to the cannery are bound to create condition of malnutrition, or outright pto- maine poisoning to the user.
 I will quote one section: 'The conduct of World War II, politi- cally and economically, requires as thoroughgoing an investigation as did World War I.
 I cannot and will not dispute that. However, let us read further 'The only difference is that ten times as much public money has been expended $250, ,00O, ,OOO, 900 in- stead of $25, 1000, 100000"
 Where were these people who furnished such figures, during the past war? And, where were they during World War I?
 Is it entirely possible that they can compare the one-round bout of 1917 where feather pillows were used for g1oves-to the global af- fair of the past contest of IS rounds, a free for all, staged with brass knuckles?
 Can you compare the operating expense of town boosting three hundred population, to city like New York or Chicago?
 Perhaps 1t is poor logic on my part thinking that the same amount expended in operating country village cannot be used in running city of millions!
 In comparison there were nearly ten times as many millionaires

Veterans

About 16,0OO,OO0 Americans are war veterans, the Veterans Ad- ministration reported this week.
 Many of these veterans head families. Others will as they grow older. Figuring the low average of three persons to a family, the veterans will represent nearly 5O,- 100000 people, or more than one third of the population of the United States.
 That fact will have important political and economic results in the future. No one can question that.

It Runs in the
 O'Daniel Family

Like father, like son!-
 Dispatches from Dallas, Texas, report that Mike O'Daniel, son of Senator "Pappy" O'Daniel, has raised rents in his apartment building and has served an evic- tion notice on Wesley Brent, an exc. l., who has just returned from service in the Pacific.
 Veterans have been aroused by young O'Daniel's action and are picketing the apartment.
 Putting people out of their homes is nothing new to the O'Daniel clan.
 Young Mike was only following on small scale what his 'Pappy'' did back in December, 1945.
 The Senator bought a 14-family apartment building in overcrowd- ed Washington and proceeded to serve eviction notices on his ten ants.
 He said he needed the 40 rooms, IA kitchens and IA baths for his own family.

there. Comes from being alone, they tell me.
He ordered another drink, and found him
self staring at the watery ring his glass made
on the polished wood of the bar.
There were two alternatives, he realized.
He could casually walk out of the bar and
never call Marge. and no one would be the
wiser; or he could call her now and try to pick
up where they had left off. No, that wasn't
right either. He could call her and then they
could try to build life together again. 1t
would have to be neW life. Too much had
happened to 60 back to the old one. He had
changed too much for that. He wondered
again if she had changed. That could be
his trouble, or part of it. being scared to find
out that she had changed.
Strengthening himself suddenly, he spoke
to the bartender: Suppose you had to make
decision and didn't care how it came out.
How would you 60 about it,"
Your wife?" asked the bartender Sorry,
but couldn't help overhearing you You were
talking to yourself again."

''Okay. If it comes up heads, I'll call her."
said the marine.
The coin reflected the rosy light of the juke
box as it fell to the bar He looked at it
steadily. . Tails!
Picking up the quarter, the marine walked
slowly away, thoughtfully turning it between
his fingers. Then, looking down at it, he fesi-
tated and finally stopped. As he thought, his
eyes narrowed, his shoulders squared, color
came to his face

his thinking about that - 50 soon too. He
grinned wryly as he thought of all the times
he'd sweated it out, thinking only of that
lovely, beautiful day when he'd be free And
here he was thinking of going back again!
What did someone once call it? Security of
the barracks? Gould be right at that
liz WONDERED how guy could dream about
something live for it. and then when he had
it within his grasp, find out he just didn't give
much of damn any more. He tried to re-
member what Marge looked like, and found
he couldn't He couldn't remember out there
either, but had blamed it on the surroundings
telling himself he wouldn't let even her image
appear in hole like that. And all the time
ID thought Just wait till you get home and
have a good drink in a nice place - then
you'll be able to see her.
Yet now he still couldn't He'd been able
to, for while; then she had just faded out
like picture taken out of focus Now it was
just like she'd never been - except that he
knew she had, and he knew he should do
something about it, But he just didn't feel
like it.
He wondered how she felt about him;
maybe it was just as we'll not to do anything
until he knew But that was just stalling,
he told himself stalling for time, waiting and
hoping everything would come out all right.
He didn't even know what all right would be,
that's what made it tough - not knowing
what he wanted.
He wondered if girl - not Marge just
any girl for a short time - would do the
trick The little blonde down the bar was on
the make, and She smiled a couple of times
too Maybe he'd give her tumble. But he

knew he wouldn't; that was still kidding HIM
self.
Lucky we didn't have any kids, he thought;
that would really be mess. But then if
guy had children maybe it was easier, maybe
he felt differently then - wanted to get back
to them and settle down. Maybe then he
didn't feel trapped, like when he was kid
and they'd locked him in the closet for some
little thing he'd done. That s how he felt now,
he thought. Not that Marge wasn't swell
girl, she was - the swellest girl he'd ever
known
But that was the trouble too, he'd known
her. but didn't now. 1t came over him again,
that dead feeling; he felt that if he never saw
her again it wouldn't make much difference.
They'd been happy too, just as happy as any
other young couple who'd been married for
few years, happy and contented. Then what
was wrong with him now? He couldn't figure
it out
soNAFU," he murmured That sure summed
it up just snafu. He wondered if she knew he
was home. After all, he hadn't written much
toward the last; guessed he d got tired trying
to keep something alive that didn't seem real
to him any more. Had to devote all his ener-
gies to keeping himself alive out there. He
should at least call. But if he did he was
caught and he knew it; he d just go back and
start all over again. Maybe that was the best
thing to do - probably was - but damned
if he felt like it.
Tough, buddy" he heard voice say in
his ear. Turning. he saw it was the bartender.
He laughed sheepishly
Must have been talking to myself again."
he muttered. "Its habit picked up out
