Gen. Hi|Idring Saw Need to Rule
Beaten Nations After Last War
Assistant Secretary
Will Run AMG From
State Department
By Gornett D. Homer

AS a young captain in the Amer
lean Army of Occupation in Ger
many after the last war, John H
Hilldring got a feeling" that the
United States would have to do q
lot more about governing conquered
countries if war ever came again.
That feeling-some might call 1t
the voice of deStiny-shaped his ca
reer during World War II and now
has thrust him into a new key po-
sition at the State Department..
AS assistant chief of staff, G-1
when the Japanese struck at Pearl
Harbor, planning for handling ci-
william affairs in the wake of Amer
ican victories was one of his re-
sponsibilities and he soon started at
Charlottesville, Va, the Army's first
school for training officers for the
onerous military government tasks
he saw ahead.
Head of Civil Division.
At his suggestion the War De-
partment created a Civil Affairs Di-
vision in the spring of 1943 to over
see all its military government ac-
tivities and relations with liberated
populations-and, naturally, he be-
came its chief.
He retired from the Army as q
major general last Tuesday and the
next day was sworn in as Assistant
Secretary of State in charge of CO.
ordinating policy for all occupied
areas-a new function in the State
Department..
The exchange of his uniform for
civilian clothes was symbolic of Gen
Hilldring's belief that the Army
which he put into the business OF
governing millions of civilians
should get out of that business as
rapidly as possible.
He shares with Gen. George C.
Marshall, former Army Chief of
Staff, the conviction that the Army's
greatest asset is the trust of the
people. AS an Army officer. he did
not want to see this trust ieopar-
dlzed by having the Army mix in
civilian affairs any longer than
strictly necessary, and so the plans
were laid from the beginning for the
Army to roll up its rear" as RAPIDLY
as possible on the civil affairs front
Plans for turning this countrys
share IN the administrative control
OF Germany over the State De-
partment this summer were post
poned at the insistence of Secre-

/" BABY,
BY Edna Mae Mcintosh

The question of proper eating
utensils for babies is one that has
had endless discussion. Certainly
abe array of silverware seen in the
baby department of any jewelry
store would indicate that there is
n WIDE diversion OF opinion as to
what implements are best for diff
ferent purposes.
The utensil with which the baby
is fed his first solid food is of ut
most Importance. The extent to
which the baby finds it comfortable
within his mouth can have great
influence on whether or not he re-
acts favorably to this new feeding
experience. For this reason, one
would want to use utensil which
is as small and comfortable as pos
sible, but ill allows for reasonable
speed and efficiency in feeding. Is
If the Infants gums are tender,
the edges Of spoon might provoke

. gestion from a young father APP

getting poor cooperation from his

of SIN butter spreader. The

the truth about this great wage move
ment We know the truth is not being
told in the big newspapers and maya
zines. They are on the side of the big
industrialists, but they speak behind
a smoke screen labeled the interests
of the general public"
They lead people to believe that
workers are laden with money and
that their wage demands are unreas-
enable. This is pure anti-labor propa-
ganda. These same people also peddle
anti-farmer propaganda. The workers
get the story that farmer Co-opera-
tives are organized so that farmers
may escape taxes and thus put small
producers out OF business with unfair
methods.

Campus

The beginning of spring quarter at
Montana State university was moving
day for a score of war veterans now
attending school, who now are COM
fortably settled with their families in
pre-fabricated houses which once
housed workers on the atomic-bomb
project at Richland, Wash
The 26 prefabricated houses, the
second of the universitys veteran
housing projects to be put into opera
tion, are located just south of the cam
pus, adjoining the colony of 25 trailer
houses opened to veterans in Febru-
airy. The houses were bought by the
university and brought in sections by
truck from the atom-city, financed
through sale of certificates to Mon
tana business houses, organizations
and individuals.
Houses Have Electric Heating
The colony includes eight three-bed-
room houses, two two-bedroom units,
and 16 one-bedroom houses. All houses
are adequately furnished and have
complete electrical equipment, includ
ing electric heating units. The univer-
sity plans to replace these with other
ower-maintenance-co heating units
as soon as they are available.
The first units to be installed were
ready for occupancy March 26, and the
remaining units are being filled as
rapidly as installation is completed
The houses are reserved for veterans
with children.

McCabe Statements
Kept From NTEA
Members

| CHICAGO, Ill-Either the National

are guilty Of conniving to conceal Ger.
tain of his public statements from
members, contributors and other read
ers of propaganda attacks ON Cooper
atives, the National Association of Co

released this week.
"NTEA's published copies of the con-

cred by Mr. McCabe during a debate
with Manager R. Wayne Newton of
MAC, at Minneapolis, last month, re-
veal glazing deletions of statements
of vital concern to anyone sincerely
interested in the truth as to Co-ops
or Mr.. McCabe's real opinions and
program" the MAC release said, con-
tinuing:
Among the items omitted were:
81 An admission by McCabe that
in spite of most severe Coop compe-
tition his own firms were actually in
vading the Coop field itself and that
his dealings with local Co-ops were in
creasing both in number of clients and
in total volume;
NTEA Against Retailer co-ops

crowned Co-operatives such as now
serve hardware, lumber, petroleum,
and other fields some of which are
now active in opposing farmer Co-ops,
are also in line for attack by NTEA

"The facts show that production is
rolling" Porter said. Seven months
after VI Day, with prices held stable
by effective controls, the American
economy is moving rapidly toward full
peacetime production. The Federal
Reserve recently reported that produc-
ton in the whole economy is current
ly above the level Of any previous
peacetime period and very substantial
ly above the average of the years 1885
1889 American industry is doing
an outstanding job of reconversion. To

million, is right up at the wartime
peak level
Last time, after the armistice in
1918, we tried to get production by
simply letting prices rise. But pro-
duction did not go up. Instead, prices
shot up 25 per cent in year." Por-
ter continued.

| Many years ago some picturesque
writer referred to American life as the
melting Pot" The name has stuck
and as all of us look back over the
backgrounds of ourselves, our friends
and our associates we are interested
to see the various strains which have
entered into the life here. English and
Irish, German and Hungarian, Polish
and Italian, Finnish, Lithuanian,
Greek, Albanian, Ukranian, Bohemian,
and Slovaks are all here running
through our whole American life.
The thing that has become extraor-
binary after three generations of i'm
migration and the adding to the popu-
lation of children born in America of
immigrant families and of intermar-
riages between immigrants is that the
people have become more like each
other than they are like their parents
or original stock. Everyone observes
it. The American face" as one saw
it in the army was truly American,
and you could not tell by looking at
the men which descended from Plym-
outh Rock ancestors, which were of
Polish descent, which were old New
York Dutch in their origin, or Italian,
or Irish.
Melting Pot in Action
One of the earliest scientists to
point out this tendency of American
people to grow more like others than
they were like their parents was Franz
Boas, who was professor of anthro-
pology at Columbia university for
many years. He went around taking

Shirt Mystery Clarified
to Some Extent
The only reason that small minor
ity of shirt-producing firms cannot
legally ship some of their higher
priced shirts produced in 1915, is that
they have been careless or deliberate
ly failed to comply with the maximum
average price regulations, OPA off
cials have announced. The overwhelm-
ing majority of firms have complied
and are shipping all of the shirts they
make at a profit. Out of approximately
lao manufacturers of mems shirts in
New York City, only six had gone
over their average prices at the end
of the third quarter of 1915, OPA
said. Only three of these are in any
trouble and only one of the three in
serious trouble.
