By GEORGE A. BENsoN

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Ad-
ministratiOn's street signs are be-
coming very confusing to the Presi-
dent. Either that, or he is trying to
work both sides of every street ne
gets into on his meanderings.
Certainly, his boys are all mixed
up on directions in Terminal Leave
Bond Street.
The Republicans of the House,
for example, strongly feel that in
asmuch as the President won't
give the veterans a reduction in
taxes, they should be permitted to
cash their terminal leave pay-bOnds
after September 1, if they choose.
Such move is practical and pos
sible, they argue, because of the
huge savings Republicans have
made in government costs. These
savings, coupled with continued
high revenues, will provide a large
surplus for application to the pub
lib debt.
Accordingly, the Republicans pro-
pose that the $1,8OO,OO0,OOO in term
inal leave pay bonds, which under
the law cannot be redeemed for
four more years, be among the first
of the government obligations dis
charged. They have passed a bill
there wasn't a dissenting vote-tO
permit veterans to cash them at
their face value Can average of
5000 after September /, if they
choose.
But what happens in Admins
tration circles? Mr.. Gael Sullivan
executive director of the Democrat
Milford chronicle. [volume] (Milford, Del.) 1878-1974, 1947-07-25

National Committee, recently Ia
mented that Republicans seemed re-
luctant to give the veterans the
cash.
Republicans weren't reluctant, of
course, but Mr.. Sullivan was so an
xious to curry favor with the vet
Grams that he overlooked the reali.
tiles, one of which was that Re
publican-sponsored bill for payment
was already before the House.
Then, Secretary of the Treasury
Snyder appeared before a House
committee and strongly opposed
any move to cash the bonds before
the original five-year period was up.
To do so would give impetus to in
fiationary trends, Mr.. Truman's cab
met member argued.
All of this must be confusing to
the President.
1t is even more confusing to Re-
publicans in Congress. The Presi-
dent, in vetoing the income tax bill,
said we should cut the public debt
To cut debt, we must retire bonds
Yet Mr.. Truman's own man-Mr
Snyder-says to retire veterans
bonds would be inflationary.
What puzzles Congress is why
veterans bonds are more imitation
airy than any other type of bonds
which make up the public debt.

In 1880 the United States had
only 935 profit corpora

canal companies; only six were
manufacturing concerns.

Is This The Shadow
OF The Future
For Labor?

A United Press dispatch Thursday
from Milwaukee, Wise, stated in part
g. Federal Judge F. Ryan Duffy,
in a decision which may have wide
implications, ruled today that the Wis
consin employment relations board
acted within its jurisdiction in order
ing a new bargaining election at the
Allis-Chalmers farm equipment plant,
where CIO United Auto Workers have
been on strike eight months"
Does this mean that the way is now
open for state labor boards to assume
jurisdiction in interpreting the nation
al labor relations act, even though the
employer in question is engaged in
interstate commerce? If allowed to
stand will not this decision, lay the
groundwork for complete emasculation
of the Wagner act? Organized labor
can do we'll to watch this case closely.

SYSTEM III IH6 WOIlU.
The report shows 43 million worker:
insured as of January, 1947, broker
down into the following classes:
l. Retired and drawing benefits
10000.
3. Permanently otected-S,2 100000
8. Having temporary retirement pro-
lection for themselves, and survivor
protection for their families-26,S $780,
000
f. Having temporary survivor pro-
lection for their families, but not re-
tirement protection 100000.
The permanently protected S,20O,OOO
workers are those who have worked
continuously in jobs covered by social
security for the 10 years the act has
been in operation; those whose age is
so close to the 65-year retirement
mark that they could not lose protec-
ton even if they left covered employ
ment; and those who are now 60 or
over and are fully insured
The board warns, however, that the
amounts of benefits for the perm
anently insured worker will drop if he
leaves covered employment and takes
an uncovered job. There were about
21,000,000 such jobs which the board
recommended to the House Ways &
Means committee last spring be
brought under social security. The
proposal did not get beyond the COM
mittee stage in the 10Th congress.
A comparison of the 43 million total
to the fact that about 73 million social
security accounts have been opened
shows the wide gap between those
who have paid into the fund and those
who are now in line to draw some |
thing from it.

who have basic understanding of the philosophy of
cooperation.

meaning of cooperation and work with this wellchosen
board and its cement a cooperative spirit your
combined efforts will be than repaid by the bene-

price trends is clearly shown by the
following breakdown of averag e
monthly benefits paid in 1916:
Male wage earners only-$24S5
Female wage Garner only-$19.S5
Wage Garner and wife together
$500
Widow, age 65 or over, only-S2O.15
One child only-$12.40
Labor spokesmen joined the board
in arguing before the ways & means
committee early in 1916 that the
amount of benefits should be
raised, especially since congress fixed
the original amounts on the basis of
the 1886 price index. Bureau of labor
statistics puts the cost of living now
at least 500 higher in most areas.
