planned a picnic and let the wives
choose the day. Result: the picnic
was rained out.
Dumb, you say? Dumb, nothing;

Suppose the men had picked the
day, and the picnic had been rain

suffered, and what's worse, their
wives would never have let them
forget the incident. The joke would
have been told for years.
But by shifting the responsible

 Chairman Ebert D. Thomas (D.- Utah), of the Senate Military Af- fairs Committee, took Q 'hands off" attitude. His stand was in the face of strong pressure by some commit tee members to look into the con. troversy.
 'The Army already has demobi- lized faster than anyone in the Army said it could," Thomas said.
 HaIf Of Forces Out
 In that connection, a United Press survey showed that the Army. Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard have discharged 6,3z2. 900 men and women-more than half their peak strength - since the shooting stopped in Europe and in the Pacific.
 The demobilization controversy, touched off by the mass CT demon- strations in Manila and sustained by ther protests elsewhere. did give some individual Congressmen a fur- ther chance to air thGdr pet dis- charge plans.
 There was increasing sentiment among some Republicans to declare an official end to the war. That would start ticking off the six months at the end of which the Army would be obliged to release men drafted ~for the duration and six months"

 Telephone instailatlcn workers at the New xorg exchange were not included ill tho II Q. rl. strike call but might 90 out dufign the day." union leaders said.
 In other labor disputes:
 1. President Truman reportedly had asked for an immediate pre- iimlnary review of prices in the meat and steel industries, where Q total of t,036 900 workers are scheduled to strike early next week over demands for more pay.
 2. Collective bargaining was resumed between General Electric and the CrO Electrical Workers Union, whose 100000 OF, Vest lnghouse and General Motors ern. ployes are slated to quit work
 3. Leaders of the United Auto. mobile Workers (CIo) left for Washington, where President Truman's fact-flndlng panel will issue e report on the General Motors wage dispute which has idled iTB0O0 workers.

 A New York CIO walkout, coupled with work stoppages in the steel, meat electrical and communication industries, would add approximately 100000 workers to the S03, 900 al- ready idle in strikes and shutdowns.
 Both union and management rep- resentatives frankly admit that chances for heading of scheduled walkouts depend almost entirely on what administration policymakers are able to accomplish in the next few days.
 President Truman yesterday Sore- cast Q light rise in steel prices, but whether the increase would be enough to grant requested wage boosts and whether similar conces- Sions could be made in other in- dustries without wrecking the en- tire wage-price stabilization pro- gram was Q matter for conjecture.
 Congress Asked Again
 The chief executive also told news conference that he hoped Con- gress would soon pass legislation to create fact-finding boards in dis putes affecting the national welfare with power to subpoena records and prohibit strikes for a 30-day period
 Fact-finding boards already in operation include street, General Mo tors and oil panels as well as one planned to study the dispute between the United Farm Equipment Workers (CIO) and the Interna- tional Harvester Company.
 Settlement of the telephone in- stallation workers wages grievance at best could only ease the threat of Q nationwide strike/ of 263, ,0OC telephone workers. The operators, members of the National Federation of Telephone Workers, are being boiled on whether to go out in sym pathy with 1000 striking Western Electric employees.
