SURPLUS sHOTGUNS

Several times this column has called attention to the unfairness of selling surplus Army shotguns to officers only, with enlisted men barred from making purchases.
 Enlisted men can now thank Senator Wherry of Nebraska for introducing a bill, already past the Senate, but not yet passed by the House, whereby surplus Army shot guns will be available not merely to officers but to enlisted men, and also the general public
 On the House side, Congressman Eddie Hebert of New Orleans has already raised cain with the Navy over the fact that Naval Reserve officers cannot buy shotguns, while Annapolis graduated officers can. He will endeavor to help push the Wherry Bill through the House and it should become law at an early date.
 The bill, however, does not ap- ply to rifles and other surplus arms apart from shotguns. They will still be available only to of ficers.

WAGES AND SAVINGS

All during the war most people thought that the thing that would be foremost in the mind of the nation with the first days of peace would be reoonversion to a peaceful economy. Some people actually thought that prices which rose steadily throughout the war might go down a little,
 But across the nation today, and ever since peace came the great organized mass of the people have had one ohjective-hgher wages This objective has been endorsed by the Administration to the extent that higher wages won't raise prices But just how this can be accomplished hasn't been yet explained It seems that an article which cost $100 to manu- lecture will cost $ 25 because of higher labor cost the price must increase.
 Those who have devoted their coin to savings dur ing the war aren't making much of clamor for higher wages because they that this will reduce thelr savings and what they have saved for use after
 the war will buy Those with savings already have suffered as prices increased during the war dollar saved in e40 or fl will buy very little today and next year it may be worth 9 cents.
 If wages continue to zoom, prices must also go up ii the higher wages are to be paid.
 The worker who gets higher wages will find that he must pay for what he needs and actually IS making little if any more money
 But the person who depends upon savings will be out in the codthe pensioner the elders who retired

Good Veto
(Washington Postl

President Truman has shown both courage and commendable judgment in vetoing the bill rescending 40 billion dollars in wartime appropriations to which a rider" returning the United States Employment Service the State governments had been attached passing this boched-up sort of legislation Congress the President said, violated fundamental principle of good government. It attempted to deprive him, over of the basic right of vetoing specific measures of which he disapproves That performance thoroughly merited the stiff rebuke that the President has administered.
 Fortunately the savings which the Congress sought to achieve will not be lost. President Truman has instructed the Budget Bureau to place the full specified in the bill for saving in nonexpendable reserve other words the main purpose of the bill will be accomplished, and the crippling amendment which Congress sought to impose the Employment Service at this crucial period of it's postwar responsibility goes into the ash can The veto thus not only the of orderly legislative procedure it also from untimey disruption the agency that must find jobs returning veterans and displaced war workers
 When employment crises have arisen in this country in recent decades, have moved to meet them national basis. We did this in World War I; did it again in the depression of the 3Os did it more to overcome the difficulties of acute manpower shortage during World War IT. In the last two instances, took this despite the existence of State employment offices because found that these wholly inadequate to the occasions The channelng of to obs whether the scarcity is of manpower or of employment opportunities, demands
 Nationwide organization with facilities in every ton of the country.
 We face an employment crisis today although it is less serious than that which confornted during the war. It unacceptable aftermath of the war Millions of men and wcmen released from the armed services and displaced from war production jobs, need help in getting back to work Thousands of employers seeking to return to peaceme production, need help finding employees Their problems take cognizance of State boundary lines And the fact is that State Employment Service, differing from one another in standards and efficiency seriously complicate the problems by artifically segmenting them. For the emergency reconversion period at the very least, Federal employment service absolutely necessary
 For these reasons think the country will sustain the President in this veto The rider" to which the President objected flew directly into the face of his expressed wish that the employment system continue to function in single unit under Federal direction during the reconverson period Now that it has been disposed of in this effective fashion hope that Congress will have the good judgment to leave the Employment Service alone, at least until the job crisis has passed

TRUMAN's JUDGES

President Truman is up against a unique test of ancient tradition that Senator can virtually dic- tate the appointment of U. s. judges or other federal employees ill his state by falling back on the myth of personal obnoxiousness.
 FDR tested out this tradition on various occasions, sometimes de- feating senatorial objectors, some tunes not. Truman, so far, has been more cautious.
 For three months, however, he has been sidestepping a showdown which he can't avoid much longer regarding the promised appoint ment of James McGranery to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. McGranery long served in Congress from Philadelphia, now has the No 2 job in the Justice Depart ment as assistant to the Attorney General, is eminently qualified and a strong Roosevelt Truman sup porter.
 However, Senator Joe Guffey Of Pennsylvania opposes McGranery's appointment. But he does it on unique and interesting grounds. He doesn't oppose MeGranery as a judge lie opposes him only for this particular court of appeals judeesilip affecting Pennsylvania.
 At a meeting in the Senate office building g attended by Sen ator Guffey, Pennsylvania boss Dave Lawrence, Senator Francis Myers, and McGranery, Guffey urged
 why don't you take this judge ship in the District of Columbia, Jim? It pays the same amount of money and will give you just as much prestige?"
 In other words, McGranery is not obnoxious to Guffey personally nor does the Senator think Me Granery is unqualified to be a judge. In fact, he does not even object to McGranery's being q judge in Pennsylvania provided he sits on the district court rather than the court of appeals. But h. does emphatically object to Mo Granery for the 3rd Circut Court of Appeals in Pennsylvania all because Guffey has his own can didate for that job.
 And so far he has managed to scare MT. Truman off.
 Other Senators are watching the fight carefully-some with con- siderable amusement. They figure that if the new president scares this easily, they will have no

LOUISIANA JURY FIXING

Here is the inside story of how the Justice Department ran across the first clue in the alleged brib- ing of the William Burton jury in New Orleans. It involves a Catholic Priest.
 Burton was twice tried for in- come tax evasion, but twice got off with a hung jury. Later it was discovered that a member of the jury panel named Eddie Oliviera had a deal with another member of the jury named Marcel Le Branche and also with Joe As torius, steward of the Roosevelt Hotel, who was not member of the jury but who kept strong box with about $19000 in it. The cash in this box increased mys- teriously during the Burton trial.
 The deal was that Astorius was to pay Le Branche $l,500 and Le Branche was to pass $500 on to Oliviera. They were to use their influence against the conviction of Burton.
 Oliviera received the money, but it burned his pants pocket. He felt uneasy about it. Finally he went to his priest and confessed The priest told him he should report the matter to the district attorney, Herbert Christianberry Oliviera followed his advice, and that was how the case was broken,
 (Note-Astorius Le Branche and Oliviera have now been indicted as co-conspirators. They will not, however, be aijled).

SATURDAY, JANUARY 12

Benefic aspects rule again today when Venus smiles upon the planet Earth. It is a lucky date for women of all ages.
 HEART AND HOME
 Under this sway the spirit Of good fellowship should be- strong. It is a happy wedding day and presages new suitors for college girls. There is promising sign for players on stage and scheen. AmusementS of all sorts will be heavily patronized.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Financially independent Federal corporations will offer much of in- terest in annual reports indicating certain expansion. Business men may expect to find trends toward stable prosperity.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Adult education will acquire added significance, according to astrology As many seryicemen and women re- turn to classrooms they will contrl- bute much the development of our national intelligence.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Under opposition of Saturn, Pluto and Neptune with a forward looking Mars, a better understanding of national and international aims is presaged after next month. Static peace plans will resolve fortunately as untoward events reveal the ur- gent need of strong safeguards to prevent war.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of enlarged opportunities and general progress. It should be lucky time for women. Children born on this day may be of complex nature, highly gifted but strongly individual They will re- quire wise training.

TRUMAN'S JUVENILES

Following a White House con- ference on labor policies, Paul Herzog, chairman of the National Labor Relations Board. handed President Truman letter.
 Its from my eight-year-old son." explained Herzog. He's a great ad- mirer of yours and he wanted me to be sure to give it to you per- sonally"
 Truman opened the envelope and read touching best wishes" note from the boy. Immediately he in- scribed reply on a White House card. Then he wrote a separate card for young Herzogs sister. Jerry Reilly here has three youngsters, MT. President" Herzog reminded him with a wink, re- ferring to Gerard Reilly, another member of the NLRB. Truman then insisted on writing autograph notes to Reillys children, alse Finally he turned to the other board member, John M. Houston, former congressman from Kansas.
 Now what can I do for you Jack?"
 Houston handed him a blank check on the Riggs National Bank i'll Washington.
 Just sign your name on the bottom line, Harry" he said.
 Fast on the uptake, Truman turned the check over and en- dorsed it Without Recourse" on the back.
