C. SNARL OVER RECONVERSION One of the worst legislative snarls awaiting the senate when it returns is reconversion. It has hardly got started on the tremendous task of putting America back to work at peacetime production. Difficulty began last February with publication of the widely publicized publi-cized Baruch Hancock report. Though this at first was hailed as a blueprint for peacetime conversion, many senators now admit it is woefully woe-fully inadequate, provides excellent protection for capital and profits, but little protection against unemployment. unem-ployment. Only comprehensive plan so far for real unemployment prevention during the reconversion period is contained in the bill written by Sen. Harley Kilgore of West Virginia. Kilgore had hoped to see his bill sent to the progressive committee on education and labor, headed by scholarly Sen. Elbert Thomas of Utah. But Assistant President Jimmy Jim-my Byrnes, Bernie Baruch, and Wall Street's John Hancock, aided by army-navy big business elements, pulled the wires and switched the bill into the military affairs committee. com-mittee. There it comes under reactionary, re-actionary, egotistic Chairman Robert Rob-ert R. Reynolds of North Carolina. The Kilgore bill is an all-embracing measure designed to insure full production and full employment after aft-er the war, all within the framework of private enterprise. Surplus property prop-erty disposal plans are included; also employment training, coordination coordi-nation among government agencies and most objectionable to the reactionariesemergency re-actionariesemergency federal unemployment un-employment insurance. Lehman Brothers' John Hancock, who opposes this, has even stated flatly that he thinks a little unemployment unem-ployment after the war will be a good thing to depress wage levels. A deal was made by its enemies to place the Kilgore bill under Montana's Mon-tana's Senator Murray, who has been pressured by Senator George, Hancock and Baruch to kill it. Meanwhile, the unhappy Murray has been receiving brickbats on the other oth-er side from labor because of his stalling. Adequate plans for reconversion should have been completed before the congressional recess. But sedate, se-date, scholarly, unhappy Senator Murray is still sitting on the eggs. PIGEONS AND PICTURES Anxious to insure the speediest possible handling of pictures of the fighting in France, one American public relations officer prepared special spe-cial cases to hold single rolls of 35-mm. 35-mm. motion picture film. These were to be sent to London from the front by carrier pigeon. A test was made in England, with 20 pigeons sent out one day. Nineteen of them have never since been heard from. ... Deciding roles of 35-mm. film were too heavy, the officer then devised de-vised a special carrier for single three-by-five-inch negatives. No test was made with this carrier, however because G-2 stepped in and ruled the pigeons out. ... Too easy for the Nazis to intercept, said G-2, with the possibility that negatives containing valuable military information infor-mation might fall into enemy hands. HITLER'S HEALTH Although intelligence officers aren't saying much about it, Adolf Hitler's health has been attracting considerable attention in Washington Washing-ton lately. Fact is, the Allies have several ways of checking on Hitler's Hit-ler's physical condition. Captured newsreels and still pictures are closely compared with previous films for clues. Likewise, recordings record-ings of Hitler's latest speeches are compared with earlier talks. Recently, v Hitler made two speeches in one week. Both were broadcast by the German radio. A group of Intelligence officers and diplomats who heard him were surprised sur-prised at the tone of his voice. 'w;ior sounded listless." com mented one expert. "He sounded weary, tired and solemn. There was no power in his voice, no fire, only a dispirited tone of dejection. He seemed to be reading his speech. He stumbled and went over words and sentences several times before getting get-ting them straight Another expert saw the latest newsreels of Hitler last weet was surprised at how paunchy and pale he looked. ... "Hitler has taken on weight, this expert said, "and it's not flattering to him. He seems to be letting himself him-self go and apparently isn't getting as much exercise as a lot of his men who are running backward. His eyes also look hollow. The war isn't agreeing with Adolf Hitler."

Grande Guillotte, 23-year-old French girl wai taken from her home by force and sheared of her long hair for collaborating with the Nazis. Many French patriots have joined together and have designated a large number of collaborationist suspects. While they have not announced the punishment punish-ment to be given to all the men on the list, it looks as if the women will soon be missing their hair. First Marines to The First marine division, with 2,73 happy members, arrived in San Diego after 26 months in the South Pacific. This, unit struck America's first land blow at Japan at Guadalcanal.

Thi general does all our talking. Wasn' much to It, anyway. You gotta havs something to write? Well, how abom the time I yanked a general out o) retirement? O. K. I am the personal driver, see, foi a general back in the States and i better boss never lived. Wotta jobl "You stay in the office today, Rye I may need you," the general barks this particular day when I pick him up. He omits his usual good morning morn-ing so I figure something is eatini him. You see, this is the day he is tf retire. He hasn't been having mucl luck with his health for quite i while. Sorta been going downhil ever since his son left for overseas Who is the son? Oh, everyone knows the captain. A fighter pilot. Quite boy, too.' Anyway. . . . I sneak the morning paper and park in the corner of the old man's office, prepared for a dull day. But I don't even get it unfolded. The air in that office gives you the willies. "Good morning, General," booms a voice suddenly, and I jump a foot. But it's only the colonel, not Gabriel's silver trumpet "What's good about it?" asks the general. "Last day in the army at sixty-one. And right in the middle bf the biggest war this country's ever had. A pretty kettle of flshl" Jtight away the colonel grabs the old oil can. "Now, now," he meows. "Sir, you shouldn't feel like that." the colonel mouths. "After all, The .ting I. gone, now, from his hard, tough growl. you've had a long career. You've done your share." The old man is a ramrod sort of guy long, lean and as straight as the soldiers Hollywood casts as doormen. door-men. His hair is snow-white, but his eyebrows and military mustache are iron-gray. "Colonel Stark," he says, deadly low. "Look at these blasted baubles. Victory medal from World War I. Mexican border service. American defense. A bloody desk general!" His voice rises a note. "My father was a fighting soldier in the Civil War. An uncle was cited at San Juan Hill in the Spanish business. And here I am, an old man, washed up a failure." The colonel stands still as a statue. "Stark," the general goes on wearily, "sit down. I've got to talk to someone. You see, I quarreled with my son. I sent him over to fly against those Germans, with anger tn my heart and on my lips. No doubt he hates me.. I've never heard from him. He's all I have, Stark, since his mother died three years ago. None of these army doctors doc-tors read minds. That's why they're sending me to the boneyard. My body's all right." The sting is gone, now, from his hard, tough growl. So is his sudden anger. His unhidden tears make me want to crawl under something. I look at the morning paper and there it is, right smack in my face. I let out a yelp which I can't hold in although I know I am taking my life in my hands. The old man has forgotten I am in the room. "It's ail right, General," I cry, waving the sheet like mad. "It's all right." I don't wait for them to bust me down to a guardhouse veteran. I Just commence reading loud. "Capt. Ted Homer, identified today to-day as the pilot who two days ago shot down six of seven German bombers while flying cover for Fortresses, Fort-resses, has been recommended for the Congressional Medal of Honor. I never could have done it except for Father,' the intrepid flier confessed con-fessed with a boyish grin. Two or three times I thought I was gone, but I just reminded myself of what the old man would do to me if I let those Germans get away with it. That did the trick.' " Quicker than a buck private grabs his pay, the general jumps up and snatches the paper from my hands. His face looks like he has a light bulb inside his head, so brilliant is his color. That's about all, 1 guess. Word about his kid fixed the old boy up, all right, and he came out of retirement like one of those bazooka shells the boys used up there today. Who was the general? Didn't I tell you, Mr. Correspondent? Why, Major General Joshua M. Homer, of course, the guy who is running the show on this island.
