Army Speeds Release
OF Men in Service 10
Meet Economy Drive
BY John A. Giles

The Army. faced with a dwind-
ling budget under the Defense De-
partment's economy orders, moved
yesterday to speed reduction of it's
manpower.
1t suspended all original enlist
ments during January and made it
easier for soldiers now in uniform
to leave the service in a new effort
to bring it's strength down to $780,
900 officers and men by February l..
Men without prior military serv-
ice and those who have not re-
enlisted within 80 days Of the ex-
piration of old enlistments will not
be accepted during the month.
This means that only soldiers
whose duty is about to expire or
recently expired will be signed up.
Slight Decline Indicated.
Previously the Army had limited
"origi1al enlistments" to 5000
during December and began the
release of all draftees and 21-
month volunteers.
Under the general economy
program ordered for all the armed
forces, the Army decided to re-
duce its strength to $4,000. On
November 80, the Army had
659,400 officers and men, drop
of only 400 from the preceding
month. Yesterdays action indi-
Gated only a small decline in De-
cember also, althouth the definite
figures will not be available for
about two weeks.
Army Secretary Gray has said
that the .000-man Army will
have to carry out essentially the
same missions and activities as
our present forces.
Certain functions will be elm
mated or streamlined, but bas-
ically our responsibilities remain
the same" he said.
Under the new order any en-
listed man who is due for separa-
ton during February, March and
April and who applies in writing
will be discharged in January.
Similarly those who are due for
discharge during the three-month
period and who are not eligible
for enlistment by failure to
qualify for promotion will be let
out in January.
Also during January all appli-
cations for discharge for depend
ency or hardship will be carefully
reviewed and borderline cases &C
cepted.
The order instructed that all
discharge applicants be inter-
viewed as early as possible and
stated that "about one-half Of the
men at each station during for
separation under these instruc-
tions will be separated by 19 jan
uary and the remainder by rs
January"

We are important IN, this picture

HERE'S a bird's-eye view of Old
Georgetown and the Potomac
River, both Of which we have been
associated with for more than lis
years. Here, too, is the new Free
way and several of Washington's
leading industrial plants-our good
neighbors and friends.
AS our pride and joy, it's nice to
note that our mill is an important
part of the picture. Keeping it i'm
portant is our business, too. In pro-
ducing an essential food product,
such as "the staff of life," we con-
slider it important business because
it means so much to the health and
happiness of thousands Of families.
AS we start the New Year, we
thank you, our neighbors, for the
wonderful acceptance you have
given our essential food products.
This business is owned and oper-
ated by Washingtonians, who take
pride in the fact that during the

past year they have given steady
employment to ITO persons, who in
Z turn with their salaries of $780,
354.30 have assisted in building and
maintaining homes and support
ing our community.
Yes, we are proud to be a part Of
Washington and through the pay
ment of thousands of dollars in
Federal and District of Columbia
taxes we have helped in supporting
our schools and institutions.
In helping to feed a large city dur
ing 1949 we bought over a million
dollars worth Of grain from nearby
farms alone. We make it into food
products such as ALP purpose
Washington Flour, Self Rising
Washington Flour, Indian Head
Corn Meal and Self Rising Wash
ington Cornmeal. These you can
buy at your local food stores. We
also convert a part Of this grain
into feed that goes back to the
farmer for his livestock.

ASSOCIATE JUSTICE BoTToMLY WRITES

A vefevence in this letter to the Republican emphasis upon
nyopertv IS the most important right Of all as contrasted to the
belief Of Democrats that the rights Of people are paramount has
brought in an interesting letter from Associate Justice r. V.
Bottomly of the Montana Supreme Court.
The Justice points out that our nation started out with human
rights paramount but that shortly before the civil War. court
decisions gave property rights preference and materialism be-
came dominant Justice Bottomly went on to demonstrate
his point in interesting fashion as follows:
III turn over a carload of cattle or merchandise to a rail
road for shipment to ST. Paul or Chicago. and the car is wrecked.
all need to do is put in a claim and am PAID IN fui' "ithou'
any fuss. Why2 Because that is property.
tiation, the train is wrecked and she is injured or killed. it is
defenses raised and technicalihes invoked before a settlement
NAV be had. Why? Because it is only a human being involved
instead Of sacred property.
Again, in this state, and believe in all livestock states. the
state has a livestock department.; it has a staff of scientists. head
ed by an outstanding veterinar ian- surgeon and his staff. 1t !
am a rancher or farmer living in a remote part OF the state. and
one OF my old sows becomes sick, call the state veterinarian.
He or one Of his staff comes Immediately to the assistance OF
my old sow and babies and doctors her and gives her the best
of veterinary science to alleviate her condition and to restore
her to health. This service is furnished free to any taxpayer OF
livestock and given to one of the most embittered opponents to
the idea Of a Welfare State. The American Livestock Associa-
ton, the rugged individualsts who want to also appropriate all
public lands for their own use.
But if we suggest a health insurance program for GU,
children. for our wives. for ourselves. Holy Horrorl That is
socialism or worse! The difference With the sow-that
sacred property; with a sick child or wife. why they are only hu
mans-let them pay or die"
These are good reasons why we must keep on fighting f0
the Fair Deal program for the people. And the first step in thai
fight is to register and votel

MINERS AND THE PUBLIC

Back of all the Juror in the press during the mine strike,
Law the interesting idea that miners have a moral obligation to
work, even if the conditions do not suit them, to keep the rest OF
us from getting cold or lacking fuel for industrial purposes.
1t would be a hard case to prove rgidly, but since the moral
code consist so preponderantly of how folks do feel about it.
that fact alone makes somewhat OF a case for it.
We could almost agree that when men decide to become
miners, just IS when other men decide to become surgeons, they
suffering; we could almost agree to that if there was any likeG-
hood that the press and other agencies shaping public opinion
would carry that premise to its logical conclusions.
If the miners have a moral obligation to dig coal and keep
US warm when the operators will not pay the price that the
miners have set on their labor. then how about that moral obi
CATION when the mine operators don want them to dig coal2
We can recall a lot of cold and hungry people in the thirties. and
a lot Of idle miners. We can recall miners going hungry, when
farmers were burning wheat instead of coal. Didn't the miners
have that same moral obligation then to enter the mines and dig
the coal so that farmers could have it. so the miners families
could eat by swapping the coal with the farmers?
If our work is to be guided by these moral obligations
doesnt it extend to all unemployed and all the industries
By that obligation shouldn't we build the houses that folks need,
and make the clothes folks need, and put the 4, 500, 900 unem-
ployed to work helping make the sundry things that people need,
and even quit doing a lot of the silly things our employers set
us to doing2
Yes, this idea that miners have a moral obligation to dig
coal is indeed a very interesting idea-but we very much doubt
whether those who preach it would want the miners or any other
group OF workers to take the idea seriously and act upon it con-
sstently. We might have a moral world instead of the kind
we have, where parasites make fortunes out Of mismanaging
them, and the only way to keep the wheels going IS to get ready
to bump each other off.
