BETHANY CIRCLE MEETS THURSDAY Ihe Bethany circle of the Women s guild of the Zion Evangel!cal and Reformed church met l.mrsday evening at the home of Mrs. David Adame.

L AugI Ufl't, RECONVERSION From Page One) enacted authorizing an office of war mobilization and reconversion to oversee the job. The Normandy breakthrough last autumn changed the emphasis to increasing production and the word "reconversion” in the OWMR was almost forgotten for a time. Today the emphasis came full circle back to reconversion with a new- warning of a very serious unemployment problem if Japan folds unexpectedly soon. The important senate military affairs committee has submitted an official report to congress asserting that “early termination of the war against Japan would actually find the national economy unprepared” for peace. In a report prepared by Sen. Joseph 0. O’Mahoney, D., Wyo., the committee declared that V-J day would find 15,000,000 to 18,000,000 war workers looking for peacetime jobs while "no one in or out of the government can predict with the slightest certainty how jobs can be provided.” O’Mahoney said an early end of the war is “a happy event which is not at all outside the contemplation of military leaders. These views of the nation’s anpreparedness for peace coincided with charges by important labor leaders, notably R. J. Thomas, president of the United Auto Workers (CIO), that little has been done in the way of providing jobs during reconversion.

Joseph McGee, Worcester, Mass, also was considered a cause. A two-year prison sentence given McGee for striking nine German prisoners of war was suspended last week, and he returned to active duty.' Many of the soldiers, the Times quoted the officer as saying, felt that they should be released too. o Man O’ War, sire of two Kentucky Derby winners, never ran the famed Derby himself.
