 The deadline set by the United States Post office for overseas mail is November 15. All packages intended for Christmas should be mailed by that date, according to the post office.

WEEKEND BRIEFS by J. B. s.

President Truman's appeal to the incoming Republicans to work tremendously with him for the sole benefit of the coun- try sounds like wasted effort. During his entire term Truman seems to have been influenced by the largely controlled radio and press of the COP. Only such legislation as will benefit big business will be passed. Very little that will help the Democrats will get by the boards.
 According to some of the most reactionary Republicans income taxes will be lowered by twenty per cent. How? Per haps by reducing the smaller mans tax they mean to add it to their own. Then again they could be speaking literally by by causing our incomes to drop twenty percent while they add ed to that of big business.
 The following is offered as a prediction. The poor man s lot will improve only after the COP. has seen to it that theirs comes in first. No reduction in income tax can be expected un-

Alabama's attempt to stife the Colored Peoples vote by in- serting a clause in their state laws to the effect that a person in order to vote should not only be able to read a part of the constitution, but also to inter- pret it seems to be an excellent one. Excellent only because most of the people to pass a vot- ing test would be seeing it for their first time, and that being so many of them would begin to think. Where would any of the present day Dixie rulers end up if the Southerners both white and colored begin to think The double standard" of sep arate facilities for both races, is very costly. The Republicans owing very little allegiance to the South might decide that no federal funds should go to double standard states.

| Economists here noted signs
last night which they said could

and brief one.

partment economist. saw consumer
demand strong enough to carry the
high level of business activity well
into next year and perhaps into
1s4s but commented that "the sit
uation is likely to be vulnerable next
year."
Days Of 1920 Recalled.
Another Government economist
reported certain danger signals
which should be watched because
of some similarities to "prebust"'
days Of 1920.
But he noted that business might
grow even more vigorous If prices
were held under control. He added
that businessmen were more aware
of instability than in 1920: they are
all becoming economists now.
Whether their caution will hasten
a recession or serve to slow 1t down,

The slump will be cushioned, he

the proposal, the amount would be

heated debate but was decisively
defeated.
The status of World War II mem
bers of the Legion was virtually nd

younger members apparently are
satisfied that before too many years
they will take over leadership by

perience. The World War II vet
erars were given majority OF the

Legion Is Expected
10 Continue Battle
With Gen. Bradley
By George Beveridse
Star Sfaff Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5.--As the
American Legion's 28th annual con-
vention drew to q close this week
a number of issues arising from the
dispute with Veterans Administra-
tor Bradley took form that will bear
close watch during the coming year
First of all, Gen. Bradley charged
the veterans with their RESPONSE
bility as citizens, and made it clear
that his responsibility-along with
protecting and administering their
rehabilitation and benefits-is first
to place welfare Of the nation as a
whole before the welfare of "any
minority"
BY no means writing Oh the i'm
portance of the veterans numerical
strength as citizens, he emphasized
that within a short time there will
be nearly twenty million ex-service-
men, nearly half of the entire male
adult population"
Legion Counters View.
The legion, however, countered
this concept with the insistence that
the Nations strongest responsibility
now Is to the "citizen-veterans" as
veterans.
At the same time, the legion en-
phasized that 1t considers the on
the-job training program, as a part
of the CT bill, its own baby" and
that it resents not having big
voice In any changes in 1t. At
session late this week, the organiza-
ton brought up its smoothest legal
trouble shooter, former Commander
Harry Colmery. to present this
view.
Conceding that recommendations
for the ceiling was responsibility
of administration" Mr.. Colmery
charged that it was "an unfair ac-
ton" to change "a piece Of legis-
lation conceived and given birth by
the American Legion" without Le-
gion consideration.
wouldn't Be Dictated To-"
Obviously irritated by the Le-
gion's position, Gen. Bradley later
pointed out that under law he was
empowered to establish on-the-j job
ceilings without any other approval.
and issued the fiat statement that
II refuse to be. dictated TO-"
Basing its principal objections to
the training limitations on charges
that the amendment was "sneaked
through" a dying Congress, the Le-
gion has thrown its powerful lobby
into an all-out fight for repeal. On
his part, Gen. Bradley disclosed
that a Thorough" study Of the JUS
tice of the ceilings is under way, re-
suits of the study will form the
basis for changes in the ceilings If
any are needed.
While establishment Of the train
ing restrictions was the apparent
immediate cause of the attack on
Gen. Bradley by John Stelle, retir-
ing commander. the general kept his
attack primarily on personal basis
In answering Mr.. Stelle's charges.
The organizations new chief. Paul
n. Grimth, Of Washington, D. c.,
and Uniontown, Pa, has declared
he hopes the personal clashes" are
at an end.
Bonus Still Alive.
On another angle of veterans
benefits, the. Legion refrained from
indorsing a7bonus, but convention
action indicated the bonus move is
by no means dead.
