Washington, March 26--Springtime in Washington this year is anything but the usual bucolic scene of cherry blossoms and high school sight-seeing delegations. Inadequate housing and transportation facilities have placed a damper on school pilgrimages. The maelstrom of a country in the early days of war has changed the picture from lazy routine* to furious activity. While the dramatic transfer of General MacArthur from the besieged Philippines to a field marshal's baton in Australia has greatly stimulated morale in all allied countries, the corollary questions of plscing sufficient lighting equipment in his hands has far-reaching repercussions in officialdom here. The marked displays of emotionalism on legislative matters is attributed to the fact that nearly two million soldiers and sailors have' families who feel the political bickering is letting their boys down in favor of class pressure groups. 7 Because in democratic countries barometers are read with an eye to shaping government policies in wartime the surge of public opinion is gravely noted in many current actions stemming from this world center. It is generally agreed that the pressure of public opinion and military necessity had much to do with the Presidential order directing MacArthur to take over the general command of allied forces in the Pacific area. Bystanders are now wondering how soon the same influences will compel drastic alterations in policy dealing with the role of labor and management in vital matters of war production. Unabated demand swelling from the "grassroots" and the cities for Congressional restrictions on dilatory labor tactics is leaving its mark. The barrage of protests against strikes and other disturbances has created an atmosphere decidedly unhealthy for the political aspirations of our lawmakers. Coupled with the outright demand for bans on policies which hamper the fullest utilization of war production facilities is a secondary call for the immediate elimination of government expendtures not directly related to the war effort. Attempts have been made to minimize this movement on the charge that it was "organized" have thus far been unsubstantiated. This development aggravates the problems of all members of the House and more than a third of the Senate now seeking re-election. Whether by design or accident the avalanche of letters and telegrams from widely scattered areas bearing on the major themes of economy snd efficiency without regard to favored classes of citizens has a chilling influence on ambitious incumbents seeking a return to their lucrative jobs. One Congressional set is investigating the dilly-dallying of business gfe-oups in the war contracts program. These disclosures may have a cleansing effect on industry. The Administration has taken the ball away from Congress in dealing directly with the A. F. of L. and the C. I. O. in an effort to side-track legislation which might interfere with organized labor's program. Somehow the letters to Congress indicate the public has little faith in the fairness of current arbitration procedures. Another wave of anti-labor communications is expected as a consequence of A. F. of L. President William Green's statement to the House a day or two ago in which he stated, "Congress and the Administration are to be praised--not condemned-- fownot repealing the 40 hour week and for not outlawing strikes." The House passed a bill of restraints weeks ago by a two to one ration but the measure has been bottled in the Senete Labor Committee S^nRtcrs whose terms expire this year are on the anxious bench as the Sen ate fails to move on labor legislation and the public loudly protests lags in the output of war material. Presumably because they do not want to alarm the people, the various government and volunteer agencies are proceeding quietly with plans for the evacuation of children from areas which may be bombed. This subject was discussed at length at conferences here of the Commission on Children in Wartime. English experiences have been studied with the Expectation of adapting their plans to conditions in this country. The Commission urged that programs involving the removal of children from their own homes or the transfer of population, such as evacuation or alien removal programs be planned with due regard to the standards for the protection of children which have been developed in cooperation with the Children's Bureau and State agencies under programs similar to those for the care of European children. The Federal government is now distributing pamphlets suggesting methods of handling children in aa evacuation. One unsolved problem is the kind of unit for removing children -- whether is should be groups based on the school, the family or the locality. There are many othei details which must be worked out.
