ments of business already lining up against any such move. Sen. Robert F. Wagner, D., N. Y, author of much of the nation's outstanding social legislation of the past 12 years, said he agreed with United Mine Workers president John L. Lewis that the government should shorten working hours to bolster employment. The senate banking committee chairman said he wasn t sure whether such a provision could be inserted in the administration's jobs-for-all bill, but he told reporters: ■it's bound to come. There should be a shortening of the work week to make more employment.” Lewis in his first public appearance in months proposed before

Lunch will be served.

Wagner's committee yesterday that the jobs-for-all bill be amended to make it: "The responsibility of the federal government to adopt from time to time policies and programs looking to the adjustment and the shortening of the hours of labor, thus stimulating and stabilizing the national economy and the even flow of workers into Industry." The jobs-for-all bill states that’ everyone willing and able to work has the "right” to a useful and remunerative job. It would make it the responsibility of the government to assure through legislation enough job opportunities for everyone to exercise his right to work. Lewis said it is vitally pecessary for the goverpment in planning for full employment "to have the power to deal with the number of productive hours American industry Will operate.” Otherwise, he said, goods will pile up in warehouses because there will not be enough buying power to purchase them. Lewis predicted the nation's productive capacity within the next two years will be 30 percent higher than it was before the war. (Secretary of commerce Henry Wallace, testifying earlier, foresaw a 50 percent increase in the American standard of living.)

Hoosier Soldier Is Sentenced To Death Military Court In Germany Sets Death Indianapolis, Aug. 29 —(UP) — Governor Gates today waited for the war department to send more information on charges against a Clinton county soldier who wrote his parents that he had been condemned to be shot for murder by a military court in Germany. Mr. and Mrs. L. O. Colby of Gettingsville, parents of Robert Colby, received a letter from their son—the first they had received since May—which said: "This is awful hard to tell. My chaplain told me to write and tell you that I am charged with murder and sentenced to be shot. Get an attorney and try to have this sentence reduced.” After friends and neighbors of the Colby family sent letters to Governor Gates and to President Truman testifying to the youth’s character before he entered the army, the governor contacted undersecretary of war Robert P. Patterson in an effort to obtain more details. War department officials told the governor he would be not-ified as quickly as the information was obtained in Washington. Rep. Forrest A. Harness, Kokomo, of the fifth Indiana district, promised to intercede for young Colby. The last letter Mr. and Mrs. Colby had from their son said he was in Luxembourg, receiving special training before rejoining his old outfit. Chicago’s post office handles more domestic money orders and a larger number of parcels than any other city in the world.

Polio Epidemic Is Waning In Rockford Six New Cases In Freeport, Illinois Rockford, 111., Aug. 29—(UP)— Rockford's unprecedented wave of infantile paralysis appeared nearly under control today as attention shifted to nearby Freeport, where six new cases have been reported in the last 24 hours. An iron lung was shipped to Freeport from Rockford last night as city officials counted a total of nine cases and two fatalities within a two-week period. Another iron lung, as well as additional hydro-therapy equipment, was scheduled to arrive in Freeport today. _ . Three patients, one from Rockford and two from outlying areas were brought to Winnebago county hospital here yesterday for treatment. The number of cases showed a marked decrease: from the average of the past two

Behind us lie 3% years of deadly struggle in which, with God’s help, we have prevailed So, today, we celebrate a victory. After the celebration, what lies ahead? For most of us, the outlook, is a bright one- if we will simply use the brains, the will, the energy, the enterprise JT. the materials and resources... with which we won our war, we can’t fail to win the peace to make this the richest, happiest land the world has known. For most of us, the years ahead are bright with promise. But for others of us—and, ironically enough, their part in bringing victory was a major one —the years to come must bear a different look. In America today are hundreds of thousands of injured men. Men with neatly pinned-up sleeves and trousers. Blinded men. Men with clever iron hooks instead of hands. Worst of all, men with hurt and darkened minds.

Lackey said that a medical representative of Imperial headquarters had reported that there were over 6,000 Allied war prisoners, including 417 hospital cases, in two camps within a radius of 10 miles of the airstrip. Col. James T. Pettus, 23. of Braeburn Drive, St. Louis, said: ‘There was a complete lack of animosity. They seemed relieved that the war had ended. However, an interpreter .said it was like some in a family dying—it takes time for the defeat to eoak in."

SURVIVORS OF USS fcont^lF^^ Japanese ""smith himself told reporters hastily taking down his dramatic story that for the mothers and families of the men on tile Housto "there is reaeon to hope.

These men need our help. Helping them will costa great deal of money. We can help them best by buying Victory Bonds. Far rom America today are millions of Americans.

Armied might Is the moss potent i argument In international bargain- i Ing, he said. We need occupational ; strength and can not afford to re- , linquish our occupational job to , other eager nations. . He listed the army needs as of , next July 1 as follows: 270,009 troops in Europe; 830,000 in the Pacific: 115,000 in Alaska, the Caribbean and various islands; 1,185,000 In the United States. To replace returning troops we must send 200.000 men to Europe by next July 1 and 540,000 to the Pacific, he said. Discharge rates will be stepped up to hit an estimated peak of 22,600 per day next January, Hen ry testified. Right, now there are 400,000 men eligible for release and an additional 500,000 pressing the critical point level. Men just turning 18 furnish the greatest continuing supply of replacements, lie declared. Stressing the value of the selective service system, Henry said: “We selected him to come in: We should select someone to replace him.” Committee members heard the ■ testimony and then fired questions.
