We are sorry that many MEM

fours cannot be supplied as the
scrap shed only receives three
or four loads of the hard variety
daily. To make everything above

more buyers for those loads,

that is fairer than that.
The longer we have to do
business with certain members
of supervision the more certain
we are that the only people for
whom they have any love is
themselves. They definitely
prove that when it comes to try
ing to tighten the load for the
handicapped. How can they tell
but they might get in that class
some day and will try and get
help from those they refused to
help. The higher some climb up
the ladder of success, the farther
they will fall when their time
comes. Your Union has never

HILLMAN IS RIGHT

Sidney Hillman, head of the CIO Political Action Committee is to be commended for the sense of re- straint he displayed the other day in the face of demands that the PAC use it's strength to force the government to take measures against the Franco re- zine in Spair Hillman told his more impetuous associates that this would be improper use of labor organization influence.
 Obviously it would be. Tactics that are at least excusable in championng the rights of workersstrkes picketing and the likebecome nexcusable when they are used as instruments of pressure to compel the government to do something in unrelated fields. It becomes as Hman indicated, government by pressure.
 Regardless of how individual workers may feel about the Franco regime in Spain they should realize that it would establish disastrous precedent to lend themselves to any campaign of pressure in the field of foreign policy We may be quite sure that the idea of having the PAC it's influence to force action against Franco originated with the Communist element And if Hillman, who has been called Communistic at various times but actually seems to have no love
 whatever for dictation from the Kremn would permit it. the Political Action Committee would soon become the tail on the Soviet foreign policy kite And whereas many workers may find it easy agree with the Soviet On Spain they would find it stutifyng in the highest

GENERALS HORSES COME
 FIRST

At Cairo, Gen. Benjamin F. Giles had special stalls built into 3 transport to send his horses back to the LISA. The space was need ed for GI's who awaited transpor- tation home. It cost the taxpayer thousands a month to maintain Giles headquarters in Cairo, while at the same time he had other complete facilities for headquart- CTS at Camp Huckstep 18 miles away. Capt. Floyd Herman Rolf, discharged Army chaplain of Pomona, Calf, told how when Congressman came to visit a Pa cific Army base, CTS were given chicken to show Congress that they were we'll fed. But that was the only time, according to Captain Rolf, GI's received chicken. :. On Okinawa, GIs complained be- cause they hadn't tasted fresh meat for fcur weeks, but had to dig barbecue pits for their command ing officer to roast meat. He was staging party for nurses and brother officers. In the Philip pines. a U s. railroad battalion, six months after the end of the war, was kept on as potential strike breakers, in case the civilian Fii- ipinO NuOr karc cfrrclr for bioLn,. ,,o,,
 A letter from a lieutenant colonel cn OkinaWa says. Reserve officers and enlisted men pay no attention to caste when battles are raging But after the war is won and we have time to think and observe these regulars, the picture is dis gusting. Men who have done noth-, ing for 25 years are now swagger- ing with authority, self -opinionat- ed, and with an assumed super knowledge recognized only by themselves. They do not com pare favorably with energetic men out of civilian life who made good against sharp competition for years before going to war. And yet we are at the mercy of those who for years have loafed at Army posts and could not earn $50 a week in the business world. Food for of. fioers is bad enough, but enlisted
 men eat like dogs. Every pos sible effort is being made to create jobs and duties that a child could see gre meaningless and nothing but an attempt to hold officers and men.n

The same General Smith had a system whereby each Saturday CAT carried him from the Santa Maria, Azores, Base to Terceira for a hot bath, 150 miles away. The op- eration was dangerous because the only runway was temporary and the plane often had to land in 40 to 50-mile cross wind. Others stayed at Santa Maria and bathed in the ocean. For Christmas, 1944, General Smith flew to Cali fornia. though only two weeks be- fore his troop commander had re- fused to let soldier go home when his sister died. While building the base at Santa Maria, General Smith detailed two skilled cabinet makers to build desk and table for his office. They spent two months at this job; probable cost $5,oOO

Washington poSt)
 It is possible that We are naive in skeptcism about Communist strength in the United States We have always regarded the Communists as bumblingly intellectual however zealous But according to the Rev John F. Cronin, official of the National Catholic Welfare Council Communists have penetrated so deep ly into the Federal Government that public investga tion of the situation would shake the country It might very well do so, if the investigation substan- tiaed the charges Father Cronin has made But there has been continuing investigation of the situation for nearly decade. And it has produced nothing more substantial than the buckshot allegations of the Dies Committee which Father Cronin seemed to be echoing and which naturally enough promptly reechoed the floor of the House by Representative Rankin
 Father Cronn said that some 2000 active Commun- ists hold Federal jobs in Washington and that 30 of them in key positions from which they can influence the policies of the involved departments He named the State Department, the Treasury De- pertinent and the Budget Bureau the agencies most seriously affected In order to arrive at estimates precise, Father Crcnin must of course, have in his possession list at the least of the l30 in key positions In view of his assertion that they guilty of relayng much top secret atomic bomb information to the Russian Government his failure to name them seems a serious dereliction

Small Colleges

 The postwar boom in higher education is croWding the larger and better known institutions to the extent that many young people who might not otherwise have done so forced to consider enrolling in of the small and comparatively obscure colleges which dot the country That prospect need not be too discour aging
 Among these small colleges some which offer about everything to be desired in general under graduate curriculum. Unencumbered by research pro- grams they stress teaching and in position to develop better personal relations between teacher and student than is often found larger campuses And sprinked through the faculties of these schools are some real scholars who there by choice and not because of mediocrity.
 There advantages, too in the informality and simplicity of student life the small school and in the small community For the returning veteran who may be concerned about his ability to readiust to civilian ways and to pick up good habits of study year or two at small college may be just what he needs to get his feet the ground and make leisurely of the various routes along which he may set his course.
 Tn any event. don't sell the small college short. It has had important part in the development Of America and Americans

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
TUESDAY, APRIL 9
HEART AND HOME

HEART AND HOME This is a good day for medita- tion. reading, writing, planning. The stars promise a happy development for girls who are well within marri- ageable age, yet to be victims of Cupids bow. Love comes late to many of both sexes, but late love is usually enduring love and brings its full weight of happiness.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Many small firms in strike-ridden areas will be fighting for survival for months to come and some will not be able to continue in business. Those who do not will benefit in the long run for the reason that high Ter wages and increased leisure, some of which will be used for shopping, will result from most of the walk outs.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 A program designed to interest pre-induction -aged boys in the mill tary service will be launched in this country as an aid to the voluntary enlistment system by which it is hoped to recruit soldiers and sailors for 10th domestic and foreign ser- vice. The promise of adventure and travel will be stressed.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Democracy will never suffer at the hands of German prisoners Of war who were imprisoned in this country The treatment they re- ceived was the most impressive demonstration of democratic meth ods conceivable Even those hard ensd Nazi prisoners who refused to cooperate will find it difficult to talk about their prison days in this country without praising the Amer ican way of life.p
 Those whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A year of fascinating activity in a field hitherto untouched, with surpris- ing and pleasing results.
 Children born today are extreme ly fortunate in that they are begin- ming life with all the basic quail ities of greatness. They should be wisely guided in their early years.

Adjutant General could tell you in 1944 which officers had worked as bricklayers before the war, but could not tell who had been over- seas. For instance. one officer who speaks three languages and is an expert at Military Intelligence was listed as a tank commander" de- spite the fact that he had been crippled since 1922.
 2. There is no system of elimin- ating inefficient officers. During the war they were sometimes rele- gated to the ground forces inspec- ticn teams under General McNair, or assigned to any general who requested them. where they were quickly promoted and sometimes got into important jobs though to- tally unqualified. They knew the right people.
 3. The Army's system of promo tion is totally inadequate. Tn peace time it is based on seniority, which means that no matter how ineffi- cient. if you keep in good health and don't offend your superiors, you will be promoted. This puts no premium on initiative. brains or ability. Just the opposite. Prevail ing sentiment among regular Army officers is Live and let live" Why not get mine while the getting is easy" or T knew him when"
 1 The weakness of certain re- guiar officers probably resulted in more Gl gripes than anythins Jlse. Some regulars were detnmn d t5 cash iii on the power and money suddenly laid 6 their feet. Some were unc 3nscious of the rights of the comm II mn. Some, blinded by sudd n authe4 itg, covered their in- efficiency by building an empire in which to hide.
 Gh"y Eugt their fellow-officers wh wtrc d.in5 good job. Also hurt tie entire Army. Incidentally, the great majority of younger of ficers tthose with the rank of ma jor and below thoroughly sym pathized with GI complaints against the caste system.
 LIQUOR FOR OFFICERS ONLY
 GI's especially boiled over against the caste system when it came to drinking Troops on Ascension Is- land were furious when their Christmas mail was dumped off a plane at Natal. Brazil, to make space for 1000 pounds of whiskey ordered by a general. Just be- fore Christmas also, C-47 took off from Charleston, s. C., for CuEa to bring back cargo of Whiskey and nylons for officers and officers wives only Young officers bitterly resented having to fly from Guam to Hawaii to pick LID load of Christmas whiskey'for Gen. James E. Parker. They thought they had enlisted for more import ant work. Gen. A. D. Smith, commander at the Azores, even sent. a plane all the way to New foundland for %hisley. It was con- aurned by staff officers only. Jun for officers and CTS got none.
