ear Divides US. Progress, VFWis Told

Boston, Sept. 5.-(UP)-Fear has split the nation into groups" sls- p4cious of each other, fearful of each other" and retarded the con- version of this nation from war time to peace-time production, President William K. Jackson of the Q. s. Chamber of Commerce said today.
 We're afraid of each other" he told the fifth national encampment of the Veterans of Foreign Wars In an address at the Boston Arena.
 Our fears have made us ready so gouge at each other for tempor- ary advantages which wash out in the inevitable if slow-moving flow of the natural laws of economics. :"
 Contrasting present conditions with the wartime station of the na- tion, Jackson said that during the war the spirit of unity which dom- mated Americans was based on confidence.
 We knew we were past masters Of two things: Fighting on the lighting front and producing on the production front" he said. We're still masters of both. But right now, it's production we need and no fighting-among ourselves"
 Stating that veterans were be- ing absorved into civilian economy "more rapidly than many people think" Jackson said Chamber of Commerce figures showed 5000, 900 of 13,0O0, 900 servicemen and women discharged already are at work, not counting 450,O00 who have en- tered farming or 100000 taking educational and on-the-jo job train ing.

Bradley AppeGIstO VFW To Weed GI BiU Crooks

Boston, Sept. 5-CUP)-Gen. Omar Bradley, administrator of vet eranS' affairs, asked the Veterans of Foreign Wars today to assist in wedding out "chiselers" who could turn the CT Bill of Rights into a grab bag"
 He told the VFW's 47th annual encampment that the education provisions and on-the-job training were devised to eliminate a dole or bonus and that early confusion had led to public distrust.
 If we are able to save the CT Bill from repudiation. . if we are to spare the veteran indignities in his difficult search for adjustment ... if we are to hold to the prom ises we made while he was still un- der fire" Bradley said, then as veterans we must work to keep our own house in order"
 Saved From Collapse
 Bradley said Congressional amendment was passed when i've saw the program fall in danger of becoming financial free-for- -all. .. .. saw it being used in a manner to- tally alien to the intent of the CT Bill"
 Many discrepancies have been corrected through that amendment. he said, but obviously you know of situations which may still be un- satisfactory.
 Tn that event, I have the jump on you. For every one that you can name, I will call out two.'
 In citing the need for opportuni- ties for veterans, Bradley said it was necessary to clean out the chiselers so honest employers will have no hesitation in hiring veterans for training, and the veteran himself can enroll without charges of hay ing accepted dole or trick bonus.
 People Confident
 'Ihe veterans greatest asset today Is the confidence that the people of America have in him, Bradley said. He wants to keep that standing. and the best way to keep it is by taking an honest share in building the nation-not in seeing what the veteran can get for himself-but in
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-09-05

learning what he can give to make this nation a better one.
 Bradley said the Veterans hos pitals had been improved so that several already were the equal of any in the nation-and this year we'll make (the service) second to none in the world. E
 Medical centers and schools have given us splendid support. Many of the nations finest physicians are serving as consu1tants or part time practitioners. .one year ago we were tragically short of doctors. today we have enough to staff our beds as fully as may be desired"
 These doctors came he said be- cause the VA kept it's promise that doctors who contributed their tal- ents would have an "up-to-date practice with unequalled facilities anywhere"

in future conflicts. great guided missiles will cross the oceans. !. and explode atomic warheads over cities, and therefore there will be no need for navies.
 Such weapons may indeed be- come a reality, but I do not sub scribe to the belief that they will eliminate all other kinds of war fare" he said. "rhe ships, weap- ons and tactics of sea fighting may change radically. but I can visu- alize traffic on the see for a long time yet, even in war, and there fore fighting on the sea.
 Unless some plan. is devised for outlawing the atomic bomb, there will be atomic warfare, and I believe it will include naval war fare. But as a result of Operation Crossroads, the United States will at least be better prepared for such warfare than any other nation on earth"

BIondy Says .Novy Lacking Bomb Guards
Tests at Bikini
 Show U. s. Ships Need Redesiqninq

Boston, Sept. 5-(UP)- atom bomb tests at Bikini proved that there is no complete defense for navieS against atomic missiles, Vice Admiral w. H. P. Blandy, com mander of Operation Crossroads, said today.
 Blandy said there would be atomic warfare in the future unless all nations agreed to some plan to outlaw the atom bomb and that such a war would include peval warfare.
 But as a result of Operation Crossroads" he told tl1e 47th an- nual encampment of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the United States will at least be better prepared than any other nation on earth"
 No Defense Complete
 Blandy said from the great mass of secret technical data collected during the Bikini tests lessons af- fecting ship design, naval and air tactics and strategy will be drawn" "
 These he said will be submitted to the joint chiefs of staff for final de- cision, but "the Presidents approval may be necessary in some cases, as well as legislative action by the Congress"
 '"To what extent the required radical changes of ship design. can be accomplished, without too great a sacrifice in other design, tactical and ctrotnOin footorc will call for the finest judgment.
 "At best, no defense will be com plete."
 Navy Always Needed
 Blandy outlined the operations at Bikini for the veterans and ex- pressed belief that if an atomic war should come, the Navy would not be exempt.

Civil Service Fovors Vets, VFW is Told
 Fleming Reports
 Members of Reds,
 XXX Not Vented

Boston, Sept. 5 -(UP)- Com munists and members of the Ku K1ux Klan must be kept out of gov ernment service, U. s. Civil Service Commissioner Arthur s. Fleming said today as he revealed that more than half of the Federal govern ment,s male employees are veterans.
 He told the 47th annual encamp- ment of the Veterans of Foreign Wars that the percentage of vet eranS in Federal jobs is increasing and that 1t was fortunate "at time when we can not afford to have anyone concerning whom there is a reasonable doubt as to his loy- alty"
 On July S1, Fleming said 8O5, 5,614 men out of total of l,647,310 in Federal service-49 percent-were veterans and that today the per- centage figure is sure to be over the 50 percent mark"
 Must Have Loyalty
 Srt is the position of the Civil Service Commission that no follow CT of the Communist Party line has sny business in the Federal serv- ice," Fleming said "A civil servant must have just one loyalty and that 1S to our government.
 By the same token, no member of a Ku Klux Klan, or any other organization that espouses the Nazi or Fascist way of life, has any busi- ness working for the United States Government"
 We know that veterans will help ts make sure that such persons look at the government from the outside and not from the inside" Elem ing said, explaining that employ ment by the government was not right but 8 high privilege extended only to those who can be trusted.
 Number to Increase
 The number of veterans employed by the government Tn the past two years has more than doubled and this number will increase, he said. 1 because of future layoffs in which veterans will be given preference.
 Also future openings will see more veterans employed because of the extra credit they receive on exami- nations.
 The veteran is playing an im- portant role .. he will play an even | more important role (and) we be- Ieve his presence will make a major contribution to the effective of those institutions for which men have died"

Transport Breakdown
Threatened in Europe
Due 10 Oil Shortage

American occupation forces in
Germany face a transportation
breakdown within few weeks, the
Army Navy Petroleum Board pre-
dicted today unless the War Ship
ping Administration can find per-
sonnel to man its tankers immedi-
ately and get them on the way to
Europe.
Less than a months supply of
gasoline is on hand for the occu-
patton forces in Germany, Admiral
F.. j. Horne, chairman of the petro-
leum board pointed out. Even con-
sidering the cargoes now en-, route,
this margin will shrink to approx
mately 15-day supply unless sail
ings are expedited Immediately.
Because of the shortage of sea-
going personnel, especially officers,
many War Shipping Administration
ships are immobilized in East Coast
and Gulf ports of the United States,
the board said. Among these i'm
mobilized ships there are some 40
tankers, many of which are allo-
Gated to the Navy to transport over
seas the fuels and gasolines essential
to the continental operations of the
forces of occupation in Germany
and Japan.
This situation has already caused
critical condition to exist for the
occupation forces in Germany, where
there is enough gasoline to main
tain essential operations only
through the early par of next
month. Unless these tankers are
manned and sail promptly, they
cannot arrive before the gasoline

Reaction
To President S Appeal
Seen by Mccormack
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Favorable results" from President
Truman's appeal for congressional
action on his legislative program are
predicted by House Majority Leader
Mccormack of Massachusetts.
Mr.. Mccormack declared yester-
day that Congress and the people
admire and respect fighting Pres
ident and will act accordingly" He
added, however, that long g-range
gains, rather than overnight prog
ress" are likely.
The administration leader en-
phasized that it takes time to pro-
duce good legislation and said some
speed would have to be sacrificed
because several of Mr.. Truman's re-
quested bills are before one group
the House Labor Committee.
He said he thought Congress ac-
complished "a great deal" last fall
and will move ahead with remaining
vital legislation "as fast as pos
sible."
He reported that the House lead
erSnlp hopeS TO make settlement OF
IA controversy over the United
States Employment Service the No.
item of business when the legisla-
tors return January IA.
| Congress voted to return U. S. E. S
to State control within 100 days. but
Mr.. Truman vetoed the legislation
on the ground that the agency
should remain under Federal con-
troll for longer period. Mr.. Nc
Cormack said he has asked the La
Dor Committee to open hearings on
the matter and try and get another
bill to the floor the second week.
Then, he added. the labor group
can go ahead with hearings on the
Presidents proposal for fact-findine
boards to settle labor disputes.
