Remarked Senator Jim Murray of Montana: Why, this bill puts everything you can inn agine in the courts. It'll be a field day for shyster lawyers. I'm not so sure I can object to that AS father of the Full Employment Bill, can I consistently object to a measure which is designed to make for full employment-even for law yers?'

Superroads and Progress
Cincinnati Enquirerl


 Protests against superhghways being voiced by i certain hotel men, seem unsoundly based. few hostey operators fear that proposed roads passing cities and towns will hurt business within those centers of population particularly the hotel business The Pennsylvania Turnpike is given as an example Scores of ghost towns have been left close to the turnpike right of way, it is said. Garages, filling stations and other business enterprises have suffered because taf fife, which stopped, gees whzzing by. Such specific charge hardly be denied. Doubtless certain individuals have been hurt as result of the turnpike's construction-as individuals nre IT. fected by all type sof progress But the fact that eral thousand ampghters were put out of business when electric street lights invented hardly is valid argument against the use of electricity Elec- ricity helped individuals than is haImed-by a vast majority And superhighways, too, will bring benefits which will more than compensate for the liabilities their construction may incur Ii unfair in such dscussicn to point too often to the effects of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. It is comparatively, short piece of roadway It does take traffic streaming by the towns along it's path without bringing much compensatory traffic to them But while it may draw business from certain centers it carries business to oherssuch as Harrisburg and Pittsburgh. If the turnpike a part of trans continental superhghway it would benefit all towns along it's since all travelers-no matter what their destnation-nust stop somwhere Those nov ing between towns and cities along the routes would find their trips more comfortable safer-and swifter Thus intracity communication would be encouraged.
 Great, broad highways, with easy and convenient points of entry to contiguous ceners Of population, seem certainty in the future of the United States. The day will come we predict when such road systems will crisscross the country As the program is devei- oped through the year certain hardships will evolve; business enterprises prospering will suffer But other individuals and enterprises will reap lush harvests-and, certainly, the vast travelling public will benefit
 Such course is the course of progress and enter prise It has been the course long history has been written.

GET CLOSE TO CRIME"

Popular Assistant Attorney Gen eral Lamar Caudle, in charge Of the Justice Departments Criminal Division, was speaking beiore the N Y. Mirror youth forum the oth- CT day as a substitute for his boss, Attorney General Tom Clark
 Clark had been detained in Washington by Supreme Court hearing, and Assistant Caudle read the speech instead, After conclud- ing the written text, Caudle gra- ciously proceeded to add a few re- marks Of his own,
 T want to tell you again, said the Chief of the Criminal Divi- sion, how sorry the Attorney Gen eral is that he could not be with you today. He wants me to tell you that if you have any problems dealing with juvenile delinquency, don't hesitate to take them up with us. Come and see us at any time

52-20 CLUB POPULARITY?

On the basis of official figures .rom the Veterans the size of the so-called 5220 Club made up of vet erans who collect a readiustment allowance of s20 8 week for the maximum period of 52 weeks
 government which can and does, lift young man out of his job take him away from his family and send him anywhere in the world to stand up and be shot at without his pemission-has considerable responsibility to that citizen when he comes back to civilian life And, matter of fact the government of the United has recognized that responsibility
 Among other things it offers him subsistence of $20 week if he is unemployed for any period up to a year. He has that much time in which to find a job and buckle down to earning his living. The bill paid ultimately by the taxpayers including vet eranS along with everyone eseb is large one, cur rently ranging around S750Oo00o a month. But the benefits out of line; certainly not for veteran who gave three four years of his young manhood in the service of his country
 The number of veterans who have exhausted their rights under the G | Bill of Rights 66627 Novem Der 3o But these figures taken alone give as false notion as does gossip about the 52-20 Club
 With approximately 100000 war veterans now out of uniform the number drawing unemployment pay has looked large in terms of the total But 1t is only about eight nine per cent of the entire mass Of World War II veterans. And, the number of of unemployment pay is amazingly small a bit more than one-haf of one per cent of those eligible.
 The Veterans Administration also reports that on

November 30 there were ,OoO continued claims for readustment allowance carried from the previous month and it payments to all veterans including those who drew their readjusment allowance for the first time in November, which amounted to S71,- 100000 total for that month But that total is cnly about half of the monthly expenditures for readjust ment allowances in the late spring and summer of l946. The number of continued claims in November also about half that of five six months before
 There those among our veterans who would rather accept pickings than go to work But the proportion is gratifyingy smallmuch smaller in all probability, than in any other large group of adult males. Always provided the country can somehow meet the challenge of the housing shortage and pro- vide decent homes for veterans who need them, also provided labor management strife be turned from athwart the of high-level national production, young back from the wars should present no problem.

DlSARMAMENT x 10 BE DISGUISED,
 BIG CONFERENCE
Chief U. 5. U. N. Delegate Will Confer with Mar
 shall, Many Subjects

LAKE SUCCESS. N. Y, Jan. g. Warren R Austin, chief U. s. delegate to the United Nations, will begin discussions early next week with newly appointed Secre- tary of State George c. Marshall on American plans for atomic en- ergy control and world disarma ment
 This was disclosed today by American sources who said the two diplomats probably would lay the groundwork for a basic U. s. policy on worldwide arms reduction. The U. N. Security Council, over riding Russian and Polish opposi- tion, approved yesterday an Amer ican request to put off considera- ton of disarmament until Feb. 4
 The arms postponement was ask ed by Warren because of the shift in State Department leadership and to enable the U. S. delegation to study more carefully series ot preliminary proposals already sub mitted by other countries. American sources said Austin and Marshall would discuss the whole question of atomic energy control and world disarmament. They said they had no idea how long the discussions would con- tinue.
 One of the things that will con cern the two diplomats, these sources said, would be setting up machinery within the American government to handle the disarma- ment problem as it will affect the United States.
 The talks also will cover the whole range of U. s. participation in United Nations affairs, includ- ing the atomic energy commission and the security, trusteeship and economic and social councils. i Some American sources said they believed there would be little, if any, divergence of views between Austin and Marshall on the major issues, particularly the policy that the U s. will follow on atomic energy control.

For about t:c only type of man the Republicans will easily OK for Government job these days is one who has offended nobody, talk en no stand on anything more con- troversial than mother, home and heaven.
 Unfortunately, however, the best public servants, as in private busi- ness, are the men with the cour- age of their convictions and not afraid to battle for them.' The man who has never taken stand in private life, won't take one in pub lie life-not even against red tape. In fact it is this type of colorlesS Government servant who gets so badly begged down in red tape.
 Significant illustration of COP unreasonableness is eX-Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins, now nom- mated as a Civil Service CommiS- sioner Miss Perkins was a Cabinet member for Is years, during which time many people disagreed with her But when you review the labor difficulties of today, lot of her onetime critics think Miss Perkins did better job than was appre- ciated. In any event, she got to knew the Government inside out, and that is one of the most inn portant qualifications for Civil Service Commissioner,
 However, when Miss Perkins name came before the Senate last summer, COP leader Taft objected And when her name came up again at the opening of this Congress, COP objections stopped her a sec ond time.
 That illustrates Why so many good men won't take Government jobs today.
 Meanwhile, the need for good men in Washington is greater than ever.
