Six-MOnth Training

Washington Post)
 TT IS A PITY that the War Department has been forced to modify it's proposal for years military training for every American youth and limit it to six months. Apparently opposition in and of Congress has led the War Department to devise this compromise Secretary of War Patterson says he will offer the program when Congress reconvenes in January As an ofsetting factor added emphasis will be put upon crument for the National Guard and encouragement of men who have completed their compulsory training to remain active in this present-day version of the militia The plan should be less unpaatabe than the parent plan to the educators and others who-unwisely in opinion-have been complaining about the interruption of education that would be caused by military training Maybe they might now be placated
 Six months, of course is not adequate time to train soldier But it is enough time to nst the basic rudi-

organized groups. Irresponsible, power-crazed, dictatorial a b r leaders must be restrained as greedy industrial barons and busi- ness monopolies have been curbed. That is the most important job confronting the next Congress.
 The statement by President Murray of the CIO, warning Con- gress that labor disputes cannot be solved by 'crippling anti-labor legislation" indicates plainly that he regards and attempt to restrain the excesses of labor unions as "anti-labor." That is a blunder many so-called labor leaders are prone to make. They are unwilling to submit to any curbs.

ments of soldering that the tranees would not be wholly green in national emergency. It is a long of the misfits Such training is not conscrption. It is rather designed, Generals Marshall and Eisenhower both have emphasized, to justify relatively small, highly professional Army which will remain the nucleus of our defense In the long run military training gets back to the principle that every individual peri cd of service to the Nation This is principle which Americans-whose talk is often long on rights and privileges and short responsibility cannot forget without disastrous consequences In todays world mill
 tary weakness is invitation to Prompt enactment of national military training law would be concrete evidence that Congress has the courage of victory
 Nothing in the Patterson program is inconsistent with

Originally. the federal bill Of rights only restricted the federal government. But through ratifica- ton of the fourtheenth amendment many years later, it's prohibitions were extended to cover the states. This amendment provides that mo state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the priv ileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws"

Decline Of A Committee

(Rocky Mountain NeWS)
 WHILE THE WAR on the Senate Investigation Committee under the chairmanship of MT. Truman, performed fine public service
 It adhered strictly to three sound policies.
 One to give credence only to facts that could be proved Gossip hearSay testimony and the general smear technique were rejected.
 A second was directed toward getting results rather than headlines. Wherever ineffciency, waste mis- management could be proved, it was Chairman Tru- mans practice first lay the evidence before army, navy other responsible government agency and de- mand corrective action. If the action prompt and effective, the committee satisfied and went to something else. Its object to help win the

 Mir. Truman became vice president then President. Craftsmanship of the committee passed along to Senator Mead and when he resigned to for gover New York, to Senator Kilgore of West Virginia. Investigators less responsible than those who had help ed MT. Truman were hired
 The committee went the way of so many congression- al committees in the past with hearsay testimony, the smear and headline hunting. Political partisanship reached the point where the last vote taken, the six Democrats lined up against the four Republicans the question of whether to investigate the American m tary government in Germany.
 Then the four Republicans, ignoring the will of the Democratic majority, made public a secret report of committee investigator report that contained senSa tional charges but was not well-documented.
 If the old Truman committee is to any further useful purpose it will have to be reOrganZed and purg ed of politics.

gerous enemies of organized labor are its own leaders who denouncex 4 every suggestion that big labor be regulated as business has been i regulated.
 American Communists have a tough time following the Russian party line. When John L. Lewis called a nationwide coal strike, Communists in this country rallied to his support. They figured in dustrial paralysis of the United States fits right in with plans of Russian Communists for world revolution. But now the Soviet trade paper Trud has denounced . Lewis as a "reactionary." What l Russian Communists are sore about is his action in calling off the strike.
 ! President Jackson of the U. s. Chamber of Commerce unerring- ! ly pointed out the fallacy in CIO claims that wages can be increased without increasing prices. If all profits were held by an omnibus 1 corporation" he said, ''it might be possible for labor leaders to dip into the pail and take a piece. But 1 profits are always unequally dis ! tributed. A monopolistic wage de- mand by national union will in evitably raise prices to the con- Sumer by closely corresponding amount unless a rise in productiv- lty makes such wage rise possi-
 ble." The truth of that was dem onstrated by this country's expe- rience with the wage increases
 made early this year. The CIO ar ! gument was the same then as now
 An investigation of the sugar situation, as proposed by Republi- can congressman, certainly is de- | sirable. The American people 1 should know all the reason why sugar still is rationed What the ! investigation will disclose is fore | cast by the statement of Senator 1 elect DWorShak GRepD of Idah2 1 that Attempts to plan our econ- omy have never worked out and ! this attempt to deal with the sugar effort is little better than any other l attempt at government planning in the field of production" The brutal fact is that the sugar short age, at least in part, is result of new deal plans to kill off the American beet sugar industry.
 Why should Colorado's sugar beet goal for the next year be set at 100000 acres? It is admitted that the sugar shortage will con- tinue through 1947. This country next year should produce all the sugar it possibly can. With the sugar beet price fixed for beets in : 1S47 the highest in history, there isn't any reason why Colorado farmers shouldn't plant more than 100000 acres of beetS. As State Director Harmon of the producS ton and marketing administration points out "in the early 1930's when beets were dirt cheap and we had no (sugar) rationing our plantings in Colorado were run ming well over the 225,OOO-acre mark"

United Veterans Groups
Press for End of War
Dept Cemetery Jim Crow
By BEN PERRY

United Negro veterans present
ing a solid front in the fight on
racial discrimination in national
cemeteries, have concentrated their
efforts to bring an abrupt end to
the practice with the arrival of a
consignment of bodies of soldier
dead from overseas, expected in
the next few days.
Following the action of the Min
nesota department Of the American
Legion at the recent convention
held in Faribault, when the organi-
Zation unanimously went on record
against carrying race hate beyond
the grave.
The Minnesota Veterans of For
eign Wars have also taken a sim
liar stand. Following a series of
letters exchanged between the
Federal department in charge of
national cemeteries, and J. W. Lee,
commander, Leslie Lawrence post,
American Legion, it was admitted
by those in authority, that there
was no law, or directive governing
the practice of racial discrimina-
ton.
Copies of the resolution adopt
ed by veterans organizations pro-
testing the anti-racial attitude
have been sent to every Senator
and Congressman in the state of
Minnesota, with the request that
the apparent wishes of the or
CARNATIONS involved be respect
ed.
On being apprised of the fact
that the national convention of
the American Legion in New York
had failed to endorse the action
of the state of Minnesota, the
group forwarded new resolutions
or letters to the various Senators
and Representatives, urging that
an issue be made of discrimination
against returned bodies of over
seas dead, with a view of clarifying
the War Department stand on the
matter.
According to persons connected
with Senator Edward Thye's Of
fee, the Senator, who could not
be reached. has already made
representation to the War de-
partment on the issue.
Meanwhile the united group of
veterans are exploring possible
avenues to get fullest American
Legion support behind FEPC legis-
lation at the next session of the
Legislature following the favorable
stand taken by the Faribault con-
vention.
Aware that the most vigorous
opposition to FEPC developed in
rural districts, plans are being
made for a steady campaign to
secure rural support for the legis-
lation, at the 1913 legislative ses-
sion.

Wheatley House
To Open New
Season Oct. 6

The staff Of the Phyllis Wheatley
House, which last year served APP
proximately 100 persons a day,
plans a formal opening of the new
season for Monday, Oct. 6. At that
time most Of the activities will be
under way, and the opening will
feature tours and exhibits.
Activities at the House fall into
three groups-classes, clubs and
teams.
This year there will be
classes in piano under Mrs
Esther Roach and Mr.. Walter
Daniels, instrumental instruc-
ton under MIR. Frank Lewis,
and classes in drum and bugle
playing.
In addition, there will be work
in dramatics for both adults and
teen-agers, craft shop work,
modern dance, tap dancing, and
cooking, il there is enough de-
mand. Henry Thomas, head resi-
dent, said instructors will be found
for additional classes if ten or more
persons ask for them.
Clubs are both co-educational and
separate, and for teen-agers as
well as for younger children. Any
group, Thomas said, with a COM
mon interest, may form a club
and the House will provide super
vision and facilities. The photo
graphic club, Thomas said, has a
completely equipped dark room.
Teams for this fall and winter
will include football, basketball,
boxing and weight-lifting. There
will be basketball and vOlley.
ball teams for girls.
The House will enter one foot
ball team in the Minneapolis SEN
ior Park Board League.
The club also serves approx
mately 81 outside groups. These
groups-such as fraternal orders,
clubs, and the NAACP-rent the
building for meetings and parties,
