WAR BONDS vital investments for a future Free World. PETER B. PEEVE THERE « MANY A SUP BETWEEN I'frie HEN-Hfll)5£ AN P THE CONSUMER. J WNV Service, fTnlori Trust Building Washington, D., C. 0 At a recent White House press and radio .conference, the President, in talking of certain measures he had recommended to benefit rri'ian and women leaving the armed service, explained that long before the de-' rriobilization of the fighting forces actually begins, many veterans are "demobilized" .who, for military or other reasons, are returned to civil life; One million have already been ^discharged and the process contiiv ues, while others are. being taken into the service. . \ To some degree. this process is paralleled by other forms of demobilization and congress has realized that the machinery for reconverting the American economy to peacetime operation must be set upc immediately. One group, a special cammittee on postwar economic policy and glanning of which Senator George is the chairman, has finished its first report which deals with "cancellation of war contracts, disposition and sale of surplus property and industrial demobilization and conversion." Quite aside from the content of the report, the document is impor-- tant for three reasons: First, it provides for action by legislation rather than by executive decree,' and envisions a board whose first responsibility is to congress rathgr than to the Chief Executive. (An important step in returning to the natural processes of democracy interrupted by the war.) Second, it has beeVi written with a realization that in the re-shuffling of industry, small business must get a break. It is quite probable that Senator Murray, who has taken the troubles of small business under his wings, will contribute considerably to the bill which will be introduced to implement the purpose of the report. Non-Political Expert Third, and very impoirtant^il'.ifiie fact that the report was coordinated and probably largely written by a paid, non-political expert, hired out of the committee funds as its counsel. Similar assistance* is always utilized by the tax committee where highly technical knowledge is essential, and it has long been the feeling of Senator George and others that one of the great weaknesses of congressional procedure is the lack of expert staff assistance for this type of work: the coordinating and correlating of the information brought out in the hearings and the contributions of the various committees, and the facts and.opinions resulting from the investigations and the special knowledge of the individual members. As a small group of us newsmen and women sat in the committeeroom and questioned Scott Russell, the counsel, we were impressed with his grasp of the subject and the ! way he separated political opinion from the factual content and the interpretation of the various paragraphs as he read them over to us or we questioned him concerning them. Russell was a former district attorney in Georgia and he was also president of one of the largest businesses in the South, the Bibbs Manufacturing company. Gray-haired, but young looking, and vigorous with an easy common-sense approach, Russell gave you the feeling he knew what he was talking about. Basinets and Government But regardless of the merits of this particular case, it seems to me I rather significant that the thinking 1 leaders in congress, of whom there i are always many, realize the imi portance of getting (to use a some- ! what shopworn expression in its best i sense) "more business into government"-- business in the sense of businesslike and efficient procedure, not the bias of any particular business. I have gone into some detail in previous columns in regard to the importance of small business in the American economy.. I will only say here that Senator Murray, although not a member of this committee, was called in for consultation, and undoubtedly a part of his legislative thinking will be incorporated into the bill which I imagine will be introduced before this is printed. Already the giants are battling. Efforts are being made by the big B R I E F S manufacturers to sM«ia^ft#mieives that when convertetMwar industries resume their peacetime work, they will not bo thrust into competition with prewar industries which can make the same product. , ? , The report of this committee recognizes this danger and also the need of handling the sale of surpluses in such a manner that they will not flood the market so that the regular producer will- have to meet an unnatural competition. The repor.t of the committee visu-. alizes the need of regulating such conditions and there are many which' must be foreseen and met. ; I will not go into the details of the report which is a straightforward statement--he who runs may read it without encountering the usual "whereases" and the other impedimenta which many legal documents contain and which makes them quite safe from the danger of perusal by the layman. Board Recommended Briefly, a «board is recommended. The President would appoint the administrator, subject to confirmation by the senate. The administrator Would pick his own staff, not representatives of any group but men of special ability, fit to represent the United States as a whole, men chosen for their outstanding qualifications. This board w^ould report to congress, a congressional committee would keep its eye on the reports and its members would sit in at the board meetings. The board would not be an operating agency. It would be purely administrative, making use of the existing government agencies. It .would be called the Office of Demobilization. For the duration, it would be a subsidiary of the WPB; afterward, it would be supreme in its field. The importance of this action, as far as the general . public is con-1 cerned, is this: -it represents one of the first steps of congress looking toward taking back its policy-making powers which, of necessity, have been delegated to the administrative branch and does so in a most vital field of endeavor. It is pointed out that these policy-making powers as applied to conversion may affect the economy of the nation for many years to come. For instance, as Russell put it in the interview--congress doesn't want any one man, or any one agency, to decide such vital issues as to whether the government remains in the rubber making business, whether we shall have a large merchant marine, or a small one. t' Important Points feriefly here are some of. the; points which the committee recommends: 1. That .demobilization should be so handled as to preserve free enterprise. 2. That full employment be assured. '*'• 3. That government-owned or, controlled plants be disposed of in a way as not to affect the national economy adversely. 4. That disposal of governmentowned plants should be in line with American foreign policy, with the prevention of monopoly, with the encouragement of full competition and small business. . 5. No plants or surpluses disposed of where their existence is vital to the national economy or such disposal affects it adversely or under conditions which would make it impossible tor the small business to acquire them. And this word of wisdom is added: "The shutting down of factories, the stoppages of work, and the unemployment of workers, through delays in contract settlements, will cause far greater loss of revenue to the government--to say nothing of general economy--than could possibly be saved through conventional pre-audit of contractors claims." Glimpses of Fashion Triads of New Yeai Classic Greek Influence Expected to Dominate. By CHERIE NICHOLAS Taking a forward look into the year 1944 fashion future, one envisions interesting new fashion horizons that promise a fascinating unfolding as time goes on. There is much being said, per example, about Greek1 influences being reflected in our present day costumedesign program. The newest fashion developments as revealed in recent important collections show dresses that have wrap-around sculptural lines supplemented with graceful tie fastenings. Also in the Grecian spirit, scarfs are; frequently made an integral part of the dress and are manipulated in classic artful ways that are in no wise over-played, but are so interpreted as to tune acceptably into the modern picture. , 1 . Another evidence of the new trehi is' that the famous Greek key pattern is appearing in border prints and is used in various - trimfo-ir^ •ways. Greek influences afe a'-'o being cleverly interpreted in tr.pclern millinery in bonnets wUh drpp^®: that, in some instanc^s are both youthful and head-fitting. Turning in other fashion directions, there is promise that sleeves will be either quite brief or defini tely long and tight fitting. The latter is evidenced in current dinner gowns, but later when balmy days arrive it will be the near-sl'?eve- i less gowns, with low rounl or scooped-out-deep-in-front necklines, ; that will come into their own. Hi^h style blouses even now feature the j peasant-type neck, which may be j regarded as important fashion significance. As to the new prints, the first blouse arrivals are very print conscious and they have for the most part bow-tie fastenings at the neckline. There is in prospect for prints a new color technique that features pastels in eye-appealing ways. Already a few prints are showing that make pink the key color, these prints - being especially intended for wear under mink coats in response to the vogue now on, of pink teamed with brown. Lime green and lilac shades also have a big future. The new flat hairdress calls for the little sleek snug-fitting hat types. This problem is being met with stun-: ning little felts for early spring, many of which are trimmed with self-fabric, cable cord trimming arranged in loops, and other novel effects. Another favorite trim is cutout flowers cut from felt that is accurately color-matched to the hat. m R. DeEOME ^ *r t . •' . --Dentist-- , f 120 Green Street Phone 292-J.
