Employ The Handicapped

National Employ the Physically Handi-
capped week is being observed throughout
the nation.
Designed to emphasize that ability and
not disability is what counts in an employe,
The success of the special period will be
measured by the number of employers who
make this fact a definite part Of their person
mel policies not for just a week but for every
one in the year.
It has long been recognized that the ply
sally handicapped are usually above the
average in special ability, efficiency and
loyalty. In fact, a new Department of Labor
survey, made in cooperation with the
Veterans Administration, showed that physi-
sally handicapped persons when prepared for
and properly placed in jobs, are as good or
better workers than unlmpaired persons.
This study showed that, as a group, these
employees had fewer on-the-job injuries. no
greater absenteeism and their production was
es good IN most cases and better in many.
During the current week, these and other
favorable facts are being called } the at
tentlon of everyone who employs others.
They deserve the greatest consideration,
especially since the nation has more physi-
eally handicapped today than ever as the
result of World War II. Many are working to
zee that the handicapped are given the
greatest opportunities at employment. But
whether their efforts will attain the success
ahey deserve depends almost entirely upon
The manufacturer, the retailer, wholesaler
md many others who are in need of good
workers, not only at the present time but in
he future. And the best way for the en-
pioyer to give the handicapped first priority

Carolina State Employment Service when

newed and new ones were made.
Many other Southeastern North Carolina
communities, especially c~ountyseats, could
follow the examples set by Whiteville and
Jacksonville in showing their interest In
those who have had the greatest part In
encouraging the towns growth.
1t would be good for Wilmington Interests
to consider how they can improve their
relations with the thousands and thousands
of farmers and others in its agriculturally
rich "b~ack-country." We often speak Of THU
large territory's role in our urban prosperity
But too frequently the area is taken fol
granted and not enought thought is de
voted to development of a closer day in anc
day out relationship.

Today And Tomorrow

not last very long. Some of
them did. For \ diplomat to
think that rival and unfriendly
powers cannot be brought to a
settlement is to forget what dip
lomacy is about. There would
be little for diplomats to do if
the world consisted of part
ners, enjoying political init
macy, and responding to COM
mon appeals.
The method by which diplo-
macy deals with a world where
there are rival powers is to or
ganize balance of power
which deprives the rivals, how
ever lacking in intimacy and
however unresponsive to COM
mon appeals, of good pros
pect of successful aggression.
That is what a diplomat means
by the settlement of a conflict
among rival powers. He does
not mean that they will cease
to be rivals. He does not mean
that they will be converted to
thinking and wanting the same
things. He means that, what

WASHINGTON - With the
Chief of staff's report on abuses
of rank in Lieut. Gen. John c..
H. Lees Italian theater command
submitted, the Army has made
available a progress checkup on
what it has done to carry out
the democratic reforms recon-
mended by the Doolittle Board.
During the war, there were
many loud complaints about
Army brass and its lack of
democracy. The Doolittle Board
was created by Secretary of War
Robert P. Patterson in March,
1916, to investigate these gripes
and recommend what might be
done about them to improve the
relationship between officers and
enlisted men, SO as to make a
better Army.
The Board was made up of
two generals, a lieutenant-colonel
a captain and two sergeants.
None was a West Pointer. All had
risen from the ranks, and all had
been discharged from the Army
after service in World War II.
chairman was Lieut.. Gen. Jimmy
Doolittle of raid-on-Tokyo and
Eighth Air Force fame.
The Board got over 1000 letters
Of complaint, and it heard from
AZ witnesses. Its report, with Is
major recommendations, was
made May II, 1916. Today the
Army can report back on pro-
gress it has made in carrying out
the suggested reforms.
Mind you, these are orders is
sued from the Pentagon head
quarters. They are in no way a
checkup on how these orders have
been carried out. In the field, as
in the General Lee case uncover
ed by columnist Bob Ruark, it
may be found that not enough
attention has been paid to such
things. 1t would be interesting to
hear.
Perhaps the most important of
all Doolittle Board recommended
tons called for definite equality
of treatment for all ranks in the
administration of military JUS
tice.
One bill now before Congress
has a large bearing on this re-
form. Congress never got around
to acting on it last session, but,
if made into law, this bill would
revise the courts-martial system
to provide better means of APP
peal, to equalize sentences, and
to permit enlisted men to sit on
general and special courts. Com
plete modernization of the
Army's Articles of War, its
criminal code, is also called for.
Pending passage of this bill,
Secretary of the Army Kenneth
Royal last month issued orders
to all officers to give personal
attention 70 the improvement of
military justice.

Right To Be Heard
An Editorial From the St. Louis Post Dispatch

"A point of the utmost import
ance in connection with the
picketing of Senator Taft's re-
cent speaking engagements is
made by Roscoe Drummond in
today's Mirror of Public Opinion.
TO him, the demonstrations
were unwarranted interferences
with the right Of free speech
a right of which labor always
has been intensely jealous. He
is correct. How can a union
leader insist on being heard and
yet not be willing that others
should be heard?
Mr.. Drummond's protest was
written before last TUESDAYS
utterly i%nexcusable flare-up of
hooliganism which resulted in
actual injury to Mr.. Taft. The
picketing of which Mr.. Drum
mond speaks was orderly, even
it the pickets' placards were not
always in good taste. He criti-
sizes an organized effort to keep
the other fellows side of the
argument from being heard,
That, we believe, is action in the
spirit of totalitariasism.
Fortunately, some labor lead
ers also are disturbed. For in
stance, Martin A. Dillmon. edi-
tor of the St. Louis Union Labor
Advocate, said in a letter
to the Post-Dispatch yesterday:
Much as l dislike and deplore

like to have Senator Taft come

On the matter Of improving
leadership, the Army says it has

ter selection of officers. This fall
all Army schools will start new
courses in Psychology of Lead
ership." Training courses in per-
sonnet management are being
given some officers in civilian
universities.
The last session of Congress
passed a new law changing the
system of promotion for Army
officers, putting it on a merit
basis.
The Doolittle Board recon-
mended that Army men needed
more security in their jobs. First
step to fix that was a pay raise
ranging from so per cent for en-,
listed personnel to 10 per cent
for generals. Congress gave en-
listed men the same terminal
leave pay as officers.
On the recommendation that
military personnel off duty be
allowed to pursue a more social
and democratic way of life, the
Army can report only that ii
provides clubs for officers, non
CONS and enlisted men at Army
posts. Signs, such as -"Officers
and Their Ladies'" or ENLISTED
Men and Their Wives" have,
however, been dropped.
The Board suggested that the
hand salute be abandoned off
Army installations and off duty,
except in foreign countries. This
has been ordered, except that
the salute is still required for
ceremonial occasions, when the
flag goes by and when the ma
tional anthem is played.
A fairer distribution of awards
was recommended. A joint Army
Mayfair Force Board will soon
review the entire system of mill
tary decorations. Last June, the
Army ordered the Bronze Star
in orders or given service badges
medal be given all soldiers cited
in the war.
Demand for improving the sys-
tenn of making complaints was
met by General Eisenhower's Or
der that every enlisted man be
given opportunity to present
grievances at least once a month.
In the Italian theater at least.
this system apparently did no
good.
The uniform of officers and
enlisted men will be made the
same, except for insignia, by July
l, 1949.
But on Doolittle's recommended
ton that the terms "officer' and
enlisted man" be dropped, and
that Army personnel of all ranks
be referred to as "soldiers," the
Army has issued 4 flat mol"

want, whatever their theological
purposes, the balance Of power
Is such that they cannot afford
to commit aggression.
In our conflict with Russia a
policy of settlement-as l have
sought to shoW-would aim to
redress the balance of power,
which is abnormal and danger
Gus, because the Red Army has
met the British and American
armies in the heart, Of Europe.
The division between east and
west is at that military bound
airy line. The meeting of those
two armies caused the division.
No state in eastern Europe can
be independent of the Kremlin
as long as the Red Army is
within it and all around it. No
state in western Europe is in
dependent while it is in effect
in the rear of this military from
tier. The presence of these non
European armies in the CONT
nent of Europe perpetuates the
division of Europe. The Soviet
government has been Commu-
mist for thirty years. For more
than a hundred years all Rus
sian governments have sought
to expand over eastern Europe.
But only since the Red Army
reached the Elbe River have the
ruler of Russia been able to
realize the ambitions of the Rus
sian Empier and the theological
purposes of Communism.
A genuine policy would, there
fore, have as its paramount OBJ
jective a settlement which
brought about the evacuation
of Europe. That is the settle
ment which will settle the issue
which has arisen out of the
war. The Communists will con-
tlnue to be Communists. The
Russians will continue to be
Russians. But if the Red Army
is in. Russia, and not on the
Elbe, the power of the Russian
Communists and the power of
the Russian Imperialists to
realize their ambitions will have
been reduced decisively.
Until a settlement which re-
suits in withdrawal is reached.
the Red Army at the center of
Europe will control eastern Eu-
rope and will threaten western
Europe. In these circumstances

Schools which give prizes for

corrages sick children to attend

Children who stay home from
school because of illness should
receive an award for their con-.

and should not be penalized for
their failure to maintain a perfect
attendance record.
Fever and upset stomach, res.

are good reasons for staying
home.
The child should be kept in
bed and allowed a limited num-.
