Green talked on. As he talked, the famine became worse. Looking at Green's rotund waistline, she said: "What you sav may be true, Mr. Green. But you certainly look like you're getting your fair share of the food supply." Inwardly if not outwardly deflated, Mr. Green sat down. Eric Johnson, former president of the U.

"They are on strike in a sense against the consumers in helping to keep meat off the market, and the public should have some protection against them." The Rhode Islander demanded that the justice department begin an immediate investigation to determine the financial interests oi the big packers pack-ers in cattle ranches, and to ascertain if there is any conspiracy between the packers and stock to any one party, agency, organization, or group. That, in any event, could not justifiably justi-fiably be done, for the responsibility is multiple. OPA is not the exclusive villain. Nor is the congress, the meat-packer, the farmer, the butcher, or the consumer. The time for name-calling and buck-passing is past. The time for action is here. Meat must move. If price ceilings must be taken off meat in order to bring it back, then it will be up to farmers, packers, dealers, housewives all of us to exhibit the wisdom and re straint that will be necessary to prevent! skyrocketing prices. At the luncheon. ex-Governor Ed Rivers of Georgia put Hannegan on the spot regarding regard-ing Democratic national committee sponsorship sponsor-ship of Henry Wallace's speeches. Rivera made it clear he didn't want Wallace to do any official speaking-. Hannegan, however, stood his ground. " The Democratic National Committee," he said. "Will assist any state or county organisation in arranging for Henry Wallace's appearance during dur-ing the campaign. We don't send out speakers unless we're asked to. So if anybody asks for Wallace, we'll send him out." "Does that go for Claude Pepper, too?" asked Senator Green. "Yes," Hannegan replied. "Is this the same procedure you are following with all other speakers?" Green asked. n AH - Ideal for Labor Peace By PETER EDSON NEA Washington Correspondent partmcnt of Labor.

When Congress had before it President Truman's program for compulsory cooling off, fact-finding, and the drafting of workers who strike against the government, govern-ment, one of the experts called in for evidence by the Senate Labor Committee was Dr. Wil liam H. Leiserson. Uncle Billy" Leiserson is one of the country's few labor statesmen. states-men. He was a garment industry arbitrator for years. He was for six years Chairman of the na tional mediation board, handling railway labor disputes. He is now on a special laoor researcn pro) ect for John Hopkins university. Before the Senate Committee mot'f. Mavnr loiiv nt phirisn FW nn nt I Dr. Leiserson severly criticized the Bronx, and Gov.

Probably it would be well to accept the do something about the meat situation in a hurry Governor Kerr favored dropping meat controls until after the election while Flynn agreed with Mayor Kelly TRl'MAN'S BLACK TIE When members of the state department's new national commission for educational, scientific and admiral's explanation and lav. the blame for cultural cooperation met with President Truman the whole incident on the fact that we may be subjecting some of our public figures to too much publicity. This seems especially true in the case of some military men, whose lifetime absorption in the science of war hasn't left them time to be experts on everything every-thing under the sun. It has become almost a necessity for public pub-lic figures to say something significant and arresting, not only in every speech but in every interview. And perhaps some of them let themselves in for too many of both. Thus we have seen well-loved heroes like Admiral Halsey and the late General Patton take the edge off their deservedly high reputations with a few thoughtless and hasty words. So maybe it would be well if some of these publj figures learned the value of the poli-'rtn's poli-'rtn's life-saving phrase, "No comment" .ven if it meant that we had a trifle less copy aor the paper the next day.

"Mr. President, here is your group all democratically elected." Most delegates did not hear the president say under his breath: "with a big 'D' or a little 'd, Bill?" In normal voice Truman then explained that he had requested the individual introductions be cause, "I've got to keep my handshaking arm in trim in an election year. I especially like to give it a workout on a bi-partisan group. The president told the group he thinks its contribution to world peace can be as great as that of any other agency in the world. He con cluded his remarks by saying what he most desires de-sires is "peace in the world and unity at home.'' The chief executive, who ordinarily goes in for colorful haberdashery, was wearing a solemn black tie. As he finished his plea for domestic unity, a loud whisper came from the croup of educators: "That explains the black tie he's mourning for Henry Wallace."

Your Gl Rights RE-ENLISTEES RATE LOANS AND SCHOOLING WASHINGTON (NEA) Many men now in service who were out for a time and then re-enlisted or went back on active duty are confused about the veterans' benefits due them. According to the Veterans' Administration, here are the benefits they can have while still on active duty: 1. Education or training, with tuition, fees, and supplies furnished fur-nished by the government. 2. A guaranteed loan to buy a home, and, in some circumstances, circum-stances, even a loan to buy a farm or business. Benefits they cannot have while on active duty are: 1. A readjustment allowance for unemployment. 2. A subsistence allowance while in education or training. 3. A disability pension. 4. VA hospitalization and medical med-ical treatment, as they receive free medical care from the Army and the Navy. Active service credit will continue con-tinue to accrue after a veteran re enters the service, so that when a man is ultimately released ne may be eligible for some of the benefits now denied him. The GI Bill of Rights states that its benefits shall be available to any person who served on active ac-tive duty for 90 dayt or more after Sept. 16, 1940, and who was released under conditions other than dishonorable. Re-enlistment doesn't void this eligibility. Re-enllstee Is "Employed" Officially. VA regards a man who re-enlists just as it does anyone any-one who has accepted full-time employment in civilian life. It is the veteran's responsibility, if he wants to finance a home while he is in the service, to con vince an eligible lending agency that his plan is financially sound. If he can do this, and if the other aspects of the application for a guaranteed loan are in order, VA will approve it. The federal mediation board would be three members, appointed ap-pointed by the President with the consent of the senate. The U.S concilation service would be transferred to this F.M.B. They would be called in by either side i in a labor dispute, to encourage settlement by direct negotiation, mediation, conciliation. If agreement could not be reached in this manner the dis pute would automatically go to the Arbitration Division, headed by a presidentially appointed arbitration commissioner. His job would be to attempt to induce labor and management to name a board of arbitration of their own choosing or of his choosing. There would be no compulsory arbitration. But if arbitration were agreed to, such agreement would have to be made in writing, writ-ing, the issues to be arbitrated would be specified, and when the arbitration award was made, it would be filed with the federal district court. If neither side filed application to impeach the award on major technical irregularities within ten days, the court would declare the award in effect. In case of irregularity, the case could be appealed to a circuit court of appeals, ap-peals, or referred back to the arbitraters for clarification. Under thts arbitration division would be the board of adjust ment. Its function would be to settle grievances arising under a contract in force. The board of adjustment would consist of a commissioner of commissioners, three named by labor, three by management. The principal function func-tion of the board of adjustment would be to maintain a roster of referees available on call to adjust ad-just grievances, and to assist in the establishment of state, local or industry boards of adjustment to settle grievances. If all these agencies failed in the settlement of disputes seriously seri-ously affecting commerce and the public interest, the federal medl ation board would be empowered to call upon the secretary of labor to name an emergency fact finding board of three or more members, to investigate and make recommendations for settlement Fact Finding Board recommenda tions would have no force ar compulsion, other than their weight on public opinion to eom pel the disputants to settle. If this whole idea of Dr. Leis erson s sounds too complex, or too loose and Ineffective, it is in his opinion the only procedure which experience has proved ef fective in labor wars. Compul sion, he believes, never settles anything. Only patient, painstak ing deliberation and reasoning between strong labor, strong management and strong govern ment authorized to assist volun tary agreements can bring peace.

There are no crowds of horny-handed horny-handed land rushers milling around the United States Bureau of Reclamation offices here with jbuckboard wagons hitched behind be-hind plains ponies, but the government's gov-ernment's intention of giving iaway 88 farms with an estimate vaiue of $30,000 each, free, has attrncted hundreds of applicants and more than 140OO intrti inquiries. But the government made one point clear: Only veterans with a bona fide interest in dirt farming and who can prove it, need apply. 86 Farms Surveyed The land offered consists of 7.527 acres and comprises part of an area reclaimed from Tule Lake an area which only 30 years ago was under 10 fathoms Of water. Eighty-six farms ranging in size from 60 to 141 acres have been surveyed out of the huge plot.
