Of Acheson Atomic Plan

CIO President Philip Murray, in a
letter to affiliated unions yesterday
urged strong support of the Ache
son Report" which calls for an in
ternational atomic development au-
thority under the United Nations to
promote beneficial use of atomic en-
ergy and maintain world security.
He called for "democratically or
ganized" national agency to deal do
mestically with atomic energy, at
tacking military authorities" who
he said want to control atomic en-
ergy and turn it to destructive ends.
THE entire world may be plunged
into an atomic armaments race un-
less the present trend of events is
reversed Mr.. Murray said.

BaIdwin-Funk Plan Proposes
S4>603>l00 For County Roads
Creation OF New State Highway Fund Pledged

tor John B. Funk, candidate for
Comptroller, advocated the Gre
alton of a new State Highway
Fund which would provide more
funds for construction of county
roads and streets of incorpor-
ated towns and cities.
Two funds would be created
under the county highways sec
ton, one to provide funds for
new construction, the other for
maintenance and reconstruction,
set up on a basis of 5000 mile
per mile of unimproved roads
for new roads and payments to
the towns and counties would
be on the basis of 500 a mile
for low types of construction up
to 81, 900 a mile for the highest
types of paved construction.
Under the Baldwin-Funk plan
$685. 900 will be allocated for
new construction and $2,918,000
for maintenance and reconstruc-
ton, making a total ALLEGATION
of $4,603,100 as opposed to the
present annual ALLEGATION of
only $2,S72,000.
The accompanying chart shows
the ALLEGATIONS planned for each

One Pound Sugar
For Armed Forces
On FurlOugh

Effective May "a, members of
the armed forces on furlough will
be issued individual one-pound
sugar stamps up to 100 days by
the Office of Price Administration
Leo H. Mccormick, OPA State
Director announced today. Prior
to the issuance of the new order
those on furlough between go and
120 days received sugar ration
books.
Military personnel expecting to
go on furlough should make out
their applications at the army
camps or separation centers or
apply to their local ration boards.
These applications are sent to the
main OPA Office in Baltimore and
are acted on the same day of
arrival, says Edward j. Driscall,
District Rationing Executive.
This new action provides uni
formity and relieves military per-
sonnet of the necessity of obtaining
ration books when the 'furlough ex-
ceeds go days. In the past when fur
loughs were for go days or more
those holding the sugar ration
books were required to return
them upon the expiration of their
leaves.
Thus one on leave receives one
stamp for 7 to 20 days, two for
81 TO 80 days, three for 40 to 81
days, four for 60 to 70 days, five
for 80 to 80 days and six for 100
to 12O days.

In appealing to the highest Amer

clared that the cessation of firing
had ended the need for special mill

doomed Jap chieftain to a hearing

Representing a complete reversal
of announced administration policy
of granting price increases only
after operations had proven that
management could not absorb wage
boosts given first, Mr.. Truman's
new approach to the problem was
expected to result in a general pat
tern of settlements embodying pay
raises of from Is to 10 per cent.
The administration new policy
was first applied to the dispute in
the steel industry over the Go
United Steel Workers demands for
a So day wage increase and was
quickly utilized in efforts to break
the deadlock in the packing field
over the CLIO and ALL bid for Is
cents an hour pay boost.
AS result of the administration
decision to grant price increases to
the steel industry, the companies
agreed to resume negotiations with
the USW, though they were not per-
mitted the full advances asked.
Pending industry offers of what the
USW called adequate counterpart
posals to its wage demands, the
union considered holding off its
scheduled strike OF 100000 workers,
affecting the aluminium and mag
nesium as well as steel trade.
In holding out offers of price in
creases to the big packers, the gov
eminent stated that they could help
the companies in figuring out what
wage raises they could actually adj
vance following their initial pro-
posals of about tx cents per hour.
In asking for a Is cents per hour
raise, the CLIO and ALL declared
they would be willing to accept 171a
cents to start with before the stu
alton clarified itself.
The packing dispute was Of par
ticular interest to the nations
farmers since companies fixed
costs would go far to determine
bids for live cattle to permit profit
able operations against wholesale
price ceilings. Of general interest
was the whole new administration
policy in its possible effect upon
efforts to hold down living costs and
avert an infiationary spiral which
would cheaper wages and income
and lead to still further demands
for relief.

DECENTRALIZATION:
CHS Kick

Incensed over war department
plans for a showdown in demobili-
cation, G.I.s the world over raised a
storm of protest, with the army
quickly reacting to the complaints
by ordering the immediate return
of surplus overseas troops and an
nouncing re-examination of policy.
At the same time, General Mac
Arthur declared that soldiers would
not be punished for orderly demon
strations in the Pacific theater, stat
ing that the unrest was primarily
caused by "acute inconsistencies ag-
gravated by the termination of hos
tilities."'
In ordering the immediate return
of surplus overseas personnel, Chief
of Staff Eisenhower said that ex-
tensive shipping facilities should be
used in sending the men home, with
troops with the highest point scores
and longest record of service given
priority.
A denomination of the whole de-
mobilization program would touch
the recent formula for spreading
scheduled shipments home for the
first three months of 1915 over a
half-year because Of war depart
ment claims of a shortage of re-
placements. Despite the showdown,
army strength was expected to be
pared by 400, 900 under previous esti-
mates by July 1, with more than
half of the 1,550,000 troops remain
ing in service in overseas duty.
Having started in the Pacific
shortly after announcement of the
showdown program, CT. demonstra-
tons quickly spread to Europe,
where troops protested in support
of their buddies in the east. In all
cases, the men were orderly and
no violence occurred.
Most vociferous of all, the Pacific
demonstrators attributed the slow
down to administration efforts to
force through a compulsory mill
tary bill to secure requirements;
"brass-hats" seeking to retain war
time rank by maintenance of a
large army, and the state depart
ment's "imperialistic" policies in
the far east. G.I.s were told to ap-
ply pressure to friends back home
to petition congress for a revision
of rehabilitation plans.

Edgar Hoover raped the abuses
and maladministration of our pris-
on systems, declaring that a large
percentage of fugitives being sought
throughout the country have en-
joyed ill-advised clemency. The
manner in which murderers, sex
degenerates, outlaws and bandits
are released constitutes a national
disgrace, he said.
Added to the loose handling of
previous offenders is the mounting
waywardness of youth, Hoover said,
disclosing that of all crimes re-
ported in 1915, 81 per cent were
committed by persons under 81
years of age. Young people in this
age group made up IA per cent of
all murderers; SO per cent of all
robbers; 81 per cent of all burglars;
"a per cent of all thieves; Is per
cent of all arsonists; 60 per cent
of all auto thieves and 80 per cent
of all rapists.
AS one remedial measure against
the growing wave of youthful law
lessness, Hoover recommended in
creased church or social activity
designed to direct youngsters en-
ergies and imaginations into con-
structive activities.

NUREMBERG, GERMANY.-One
German who otherwise gets along
very well with the American occu-
patton officials and is thoroughly In
sympathy with what is going on in
the Nuremberg court house will
nevertheless be one Of the happiest
men in Germany when the trials
are over. He is a little black-haired,
bespectacled man named Hans
Ziegler, Oberbuergermeister OF the
city. The best translation for his
title is plain mayor" but because
all German cities have at least one
deputy mayor, some of the Amer
lean writers who have seen service
in London translate "Oberbuerger-
meister" as Lord Mayor"
Herr Ziegler says frankly that his
work will be easier when the huge
organization required to support the
international military tribunal has
folded it's tents and departed. When
he told me this was rather surprised
since at first blush it might seem that
the city would benefit from all this
American activity. However, when
one considers that what the Ameri-
cans here buy with the Germans own
money 1--WE print it and they have
to redeem it) the profits can hard
ly seem desirable. The central Ger
man government, when there is one,
will eventually redeem the paper
marks but all Germans will have
to contribute in the form of taxes.
In Nuremberg although as I said,
the city budget had been cut so per
cent, the taxes have already been
increased 1913 per cent.

GUS month, Gov. Simeon Willis of
Kentucky acted 10 close all ware
houses, under unanimous recon-
mendation of the state legislature.
Main cash crop of Kentucky farm
ers, hurley tobacco, used in cigar
cite, chewing and pipe mixtures, is
auctioned off in various warehouses
throughout the state, with buyers
from the big manufacturing COM
panies bidding against each other.
The season usually runs from De-
cember through January.
With the requirement that all
sales be transacted under OPA CELL
ing regulations, prices have been
set on all 26 different grades of the
tobacco, ranging up to so cents q
pound or more. Following sharp
price recessions after early favor
able bidding, average paid for the
crop slumped to SO cents.
