Notes Anniversary:
With Story Of Growth

Service hospitals and centers to-
day will observe the first anniversary
of the Chaplaincy Service of the
Veterans Administration, Chaplain
Crawford w. Brown, director of the
service, announced yesterday.
Gen. Omar N. Bradley, VA admin
istrator, in a letter to the Chap
laincy Service, said:
LAS June Is. 1916, the first ami
versary of the founding of the Chap
laincy Service approaches, I hope
that you will find an ever increasing
measure of satisfaction in the per-
formance of your vital spiritual
ministry to the veterans of our
country.
The unusual opportunities af-
forded through the establishment
of this service present challenge
which I am confident you will meet"
Increase Is Pointed Out.
Chaplain Brown pointed out in a
review of the past year that there
were II full-time chaplains in the
Veterans Administration on June
Is, 1945, as compared with 100 now.
An additional 40 positions are still
to be filled, the director said, adding
that more than 1000 applications
had been received.
The group consists of 1873 Protec-
tants. So Catholic and 2 Jewish
chaplains. as nearly as possible in
accordance with the national per-
centage ratio of the faiths
Part time chaplaincies are pro-
vided for those hospitals where the
number of men of a particular faith
are not sufficient to warrant a full
time chaplain. The goal is one chap
lain for 500 patients.
Comparison of Work.
Chaplain Brown released the fol-
lowing comparative figures on duties
performed by chaplains in 79 hos
pitals in January and April of this
year: religious services, 928 in Janu-
ary and 2,803 in April; ward visits,
54,254 and 221,019: outside COM
munity engagements, II and 849;
welfare cases helped, % and 1,085;
attendance at services, $4,000 and
100000.
One of the future difficulties,
Chaplain Brown pointed out, was
the lack Of chapels in hospitals. The
chaplains have improvised places of
worship, he said, but officials hope
to build permanent chapels soon.
Among other plans is a training
program for chaplains and the COM
pilation of a hymn book modelled
after those used by the Army and
Navy.
The Chaplaincy Service Head
quarters is located in the Munitions
Building here. Officials are Chap
lain Edmund w. Weber, assistant
director of the service; Chaplain
Edward A. McDonough, personnel
division head; Chaplain Donald C.
Beatty, plans and training division
head; Chaplain Alexander j. Nc
Kelway, special projects division
head, and Chaplain Carl E. Hateri-
us, technical information division
head.

 In Washington
By Travis K. Hedrick
POLLTAXER HEADS COP

A pOlltax Republican from pre- dominantly Democratic Tennessee, Brazilla Carroll Reece, who has de- voted most of his 25 years in the House of Representatives to tend- ing interests of the Wall Street Morgans, took over the helm of the job-hungry Republican party last week.
 Reece, who was backed by the iso- lationist forces of Sen. Robert A. Taft (R, O., is a soft-spoken, hesi- tant and ultra-conservative millionaire who got his wealth by marrying the daughter of the late Sen. Guy D. Golf (R, W.Va.), coal mine owner.
 Not An Extremist
 Asked at press conference in the COP. Natl. Committee headquarters if he would prefer to serve without salary. Reece replied he would. The next question from a feminine repor- ter was do you have private means ?" The Tennessean replied "I have lit tle."
 When a newsman inquired ''are you an isOlatiOnist, a conservative or what?" Reece answered ''It's pretty difficult for man to de- scribe himself. I am not an ex- tremist in either direction, and nei- ther right not left domesticaIIy. g
 Reece also tucked the full an- swer when he was asked 'sAre you still a Taft mani" He said GAS chairman l am not anybOdy's man. 1t is not my purpose to sharpen anymOdy's axe for l948, or to turn the wheel"
 After the new COP chairman an- nounced he proposed to get the labor vote in 1o46, he was asked how he'd propose going about that little task. He studied minute then said Eve will have means of getting the coop eration of various labor groups"
 That Case Bill
 Then Federated Press inquired 'how will you do that in view of the party's vote on the Case bill," Reece came back with "there is no conflict between the two"
 As to the overall picture, Reece predicted that the COP definitely will gain control of the House Gin 1946) by a good working num- ber." Just how that will be ac- complished seemed doubtful to even some leading Republicans. One of these, Sen. Wayne Morse (R, Ore.) said the meeting that elected Reece was Ca grand flop" and that continued operation of the COP command along these lines ''will re-elect Harry Truman in spite of everything he's doing to defeat himseIf.''
 Reece's tenure in the House was broken in 193O when he was de- feated by the late o. B. LOvette of Creenville, Tenn. Lovette quail fled only II days before the cleo ton and won by attacking Reece's record of fighting against public

(Continued from Page One) Organization offers a safeguard against such exploitation, Robert J. Watt of the A. F. of l.. told the na- tiOn's export men in a recent ad- dress. The Federation's interna- tiOnal representative was emphatic in his declaration that employers and unions should support I.L.O.'s efforts to elevate wages and inn prove working conditions through out the world.
 AN old idea with new twist ap- peared in this classified ad in the Santa Fe (N. M.) Ne,O Mexican: ''MR. AND MRS. VETERAN ur- gently need small furnished apart ment permanently. Serving country gave no time for children or pets.
 ALTHOUGH over 4O% of all persons hired by manufacturing in- dustries last month were veterans, the ex-servicemen are staying away from the four lowest paying groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said
 The four industries are apparel, tobacco, textiles and feathers, BIS reported. In each of the heavy in- dustries, veterans account for 8 to lO% of all employees. About the same ratio applies in light industry except for the four groups named.
 The BIS report said that as ex- pected during the transition pe- riOd "veterans are quitting at a faster rate than non-veterans.' $ While non-veterans left in a ratio of S7 of every 1000, the veteran rate was 57. It pointed out that turnover was always greater in re- gently hired workers than in long, er-service employees.

SOUTHERN Democrats in Con. gress are sore. at the Democratic Natl. Committees paper for calling vote for the Case anti-labOr bill a vote against the people.
 It's too close to November to speak of votes without making con. gressmen uneasy.
 THE US. State Dept. wants Tito to let it send witnesses to testify for Gen. Mikhailovitch at his trial as Nazi collabOrator. The general made a great contribution to the war effort, says the U. s. The ques- ton is, to whose war effort?
 DENNIS P. BYRNES, former business agent of the Bridgeport Painters, has been reappointed by Mayor Jasper McLevy for a two year term to the Garage Control Commission. His previous appoint ment was to fill the unexpired term of the late A. J. McKeon. Denny tells us he misses the meet ings of the executive board of the State Building Trades, and we can assure him the boys miss him.
 A last-minute survey by the Ma tiOnal Opinion Research Center shows 68 per cent of the public agreeable to UNRRA's proposal that the US. resume ratiOning to help prevent famine abroad.
 The question was: ''WOuld you be willing to have meat and butter ratiOned again so that we could send more food to needy countries that fought on our side in the war!" Only 29 per cent were op. posed and 3 per cent were unde. cided.

$50 U. s. Workers Killed
 Within 3-Month Period

WASHINGTON (LPA) = The last three months of 1945 saw $50 American workers killed and 52OO permanently disabled in manufactur- ing plants, the Labor Department reports. Eleven thousand manufactur- ing plants recorded about 110OO ac- cidents, 7,0O0 less than in the third quarter and 42,0OO less than in the 1e44 quarter. The death and perma- nent disability figure, however, was higher than in the third quarter of 1945. This was partly due to employees taking on unfamiliar work during re- conversion.

control of hydrO-electric power. Reece was reelected in 1882, how ever.
 In 1o43, Reece left. Washington to lobby for several weeks in Nashville in behalf of bill setting up an East Tennessee Utility District that was bitterly opposed by the Tennessee Valley Authority and the then Gov ernor, Prentice Cooper. Reece's util-' ity bill would have permitted a self perpetuating board to have authority to set rates, acquire property and sell bonds. It was widely attacked as blind for the power interests in fight against IVA.
 Anti-LabOr Record
 Asked how he would stand on the Missouri Valley Authority bill offered by Sen. James Murray CD, Mont.), setting up system similar to IVA in nine western states, Reece said "those matters will come before Con- gress" and refused to take posi- tion himself.
 The new COP chairman's record in Congress, as a representative of one of the two Tennessee districts that has been Republican since 1870, is not particularly glowing. In l937 he opposed the housing act, he was against reciprocal trade in 1884; in 1885 he voted against the Cuffey coal act SUD- ported by the United Mine Work CTS. Reece fought against lend- lease in 194l, opposed the wage hour bill and was all-out for the tax bill Pres. Roosevelt vetoed as giving aid ''to the greedy and not to the needy" Some of his other anti-labor votes include support for the Smith-C -Connally act, the Hobbs bill and humping ballot against giving CI's overseas the vote.
 Reece, after all, is supported by Sen. Taft and 1abors for the Morgans.

U. 5. Can't Retain Atom Bomb Secrets

DENVER-(FP)-Testifying for civilian and international rather than U. 5. military control of atomic energy, the leading atomic scientists have said the U. s. will be unable to keep the secret of how to make the atomic bomb. Eighty-fve per cent of the general public agree with the scientists that the U. s. can not keep the secret, a nationwide survey conducted by the National Opinion Research Center revealed March 30.
 Also in agreement with leading atomic scientists, 729o of the public believes that other countries will dis cover the secret of manufacturing atomic bombs within five years.

 Returns Favorable

Thomaston, Dec. 24 - Sherman Wesley of The Salvation Army Pub lie Relations Department will con- tinue the solicitation in connection with The Salvation Army's Annual Maintenance Appeal in Thomaston and District, owing to the fact that quite large number of old friends have mot yet responded and new friends to be contacted.
 Treasurer Charles P. Pendleton re- ports that returns so far are quite favorable, individuals and industries having responded liberally and every effort is being made to secure the needed quota. It would be of great assistance if those friends of The Salvation Army, who have not re. sponded, would mail their cheeks to the Treasurer immediately.
