world. . - . “The plain people of this earth know what they want in the post- ~ war period. Above all else they want to be wanted. “They want a chance to work and be useful. They want an income which will give them enough food and clothing .and shelter and medical care to drive the fear of want from their fireside. “And they want these simple things within a society that guarantees their civil liberties. “The plain people will be understanding about the problems of readjustment. They will work hard for all this and they will walk any reasonable roads to these ends.
Won't Take ‘No’ Answer
“But the chains of the ages have snapped. The one thing they won't do is take ‘no’ for a final answer to their cry for full employment.” At the end of the war more than ‘half this country’s industrial output will be going to one customer— the government. Mr. Perkins said any attempt to stop that purchasing power immediately would result in complete bankruptcy, and added: “Capital investment in heavy goods for reconstruction must replace capital investment in armaements at a rate adequate to maintain full employment. Any wavering in this course will bring on a

Slavery under the axis is the alternative available to those people who find gasoline and sugar rationing distasteful, Cecil Brown, veteran radio and magazine reporter in the Far East, warned here today. Having returned irom Australia a month ago for a lecture tour, Mr. Brown will speak at 8:30 o'clock tonight at the Murat under Town Hall anspices. “People are ‘being called on to make sacrifices,” he said, “and the alternative is slavery.” He said that people who object to such rationing “don’t understand what a war is.”"
“Japs No Push-Overs”
Over-optimism, which the president and Secretary .of State Hull warned against last week, “is a perfect axis” ‘plant’,” in this: country, Mr. Brown said. “The Japs are no push-overs. “There are non-commissioned officers who will be captains, majors or colonels when this war is over.” Credited with the “beat” on conditions in Singapore before its fall, ‘Mr. Brown left there, he said, at the request of the British.

POST-WAR GOAL.
Resources Board Official Says 100 Billion Income Must Be Maintained.
(Continued from Page One) might be possible to prepare the
| | men, while still in the armed forces,
to assume jobs in industry when they are released. “Perhaps the idea of a dismissal wage or allowance for those employed in industry is also applicable to demobilized men from the
.|armed forces,” he added.
Prof. Merriam said that it is conceivable that it would be less wasteful to continue some . war] prodyction even after the immediate demand is ended rather ‘than to halt precipitately that production. Other plans outlined by Prof. Merriam for the post-war period included the development of public works, urban conservation and development (rebuilding by square mile not by the square block), industrial developments such as the TVA, new railroad terminals, airports and highways, and the increasing of public health and recreational services.
Calls Isolationism Impossible
Speaking of the international scene, the board vice president said that “from this point on the American people will never again make
{ the mistake of believing that we
can have prosperity while the rest of the world collapses; or peace while the rest of the world is at war or freedom while the rest of the world is being enslaved. “It is therefore assumed that after the war our internationl policy will conform to our desires for peace and the elevation of human dignity everywhere,” he concluded. In another major address before the conference, David C. Prince, vice president of the General Electric Co., said that about 26 billion dollars must be invested if full employment of our national resources is’ to be realized in the post-war period. Outlines 5-Point Program
He outlined as the factors most important to the success of the post-war program: (1) development by industry of plans for converting war plants back to peacetime production with as little delay as possible; (2) development by industry of plans to utilize new materials and processes; (3) development by
Mil, [labor, finance and government of v [conditions favorable to investment
after the war; (4) development by banks and the government of a balanced program for expanding residential and public works construction; (5) development by those
’|industries interested of a long-term
program of investment in ‘undeveloped foreign countries. Mayor Sullivan welcomed the conference delegates and Earle S. Draper, president of the American Institute of Planners, presided at the opening session of the Yiree-
p.| day conference.
Much Work to Be done
Mr. Draper told the group that there yet remains much to be done before we can claim that ail our people are living in good homes in well-planned and developed communities. Another speaker, Willis H. Miller, acting executive secretary of the California state planning board, said that to reverse the present trend to a national rather than federal form of government, the states must prove themselves competent to deal promptly and effectively with post-war problems. James J. Harrison, director of the Arkansas state planning board, told the state and federal officials at the conference that the problems that loom ahead “will require our total audacity, devotion and staying power.” In a telegram sending greetings to the conference, President Roosevelt told the delegates that “planning is needed to win the war and win the peace that follows.”
Know Resources, He Urges
“We need to know our own resources, to understand how to use them, and to plan their full use for the benefit of all the people,” the president said. “Planning is needed by individuals, communities, states, regions, by the nation, and by the united nations to win this war and to win thé peace that follows. All of the freed peoples must plan, work and fight together for maintenance and development of our freedoms and rights,” he added. The meeting, sponsored by the National Conference on Planning, is being leld at the Claypool hotel to discuss planning by governmental groups to help advance the war effort and to consider problems which will arise in the post-war period.

Admits Slaying, Involves Uncle
NEW YORK, May 25 (U. P). —El, Shonbrun, small time crook, dramatically confessed from the witness stand in general sessions court today that he and his uncle, Murray Hirschl, had murdered . Mrs. “Susie ‘Flora ‘Reich, wealthy Polish refugee, for the diamond... ring ‘she wore. The first witness for the defense, Shonbrun shouted that his sweetheart and ‘co-defendant in the trial, Madeline Webb, a model and dancer who came here from Oklahoma, was innocent of the crime. In putting the finger on Hirschl, as well as himself, Shonbrun was paying back the uncle who last week named Shonbrun, Miss Webb, and a third defendant, John B. Cullen, as implicated in the plot against Mrs. Reich's life.

And this year the railroads must handle the huge volume of holiday travel while meeting the extraordinarily heavy de-. mands placed on their services by military
and war-business traffic.
So if you are inconvenienced in any way please realize that these are unusual times but that the Pennsylvania Railroad is making every effort to handle the expected holiday rush. :
% BUY UNITED STATES ‘WAR SAVINGS, BONUS AND. STAMPS
Here are a few suggestions to help make your holiday trip a little pleasanter:
» 1 If possible, start. your trip on Wednesday or Thursday to avoid the peak rush on Friday. 2 Plan to return on Monday of later in the week. 3 Whether you're going Pullman or Coach buy your tickets i in advance and avoid standing in line at station ticket windows. Bay round trip tickets. _ You save time and money. 4 If you're going Pullman, please accept whatever stsbrmeditions are available. And if you decide to postpone your trip, please ‘cancel your space at once so that it can be assigned to others. : 5 If you're going coach, be sure to get to the station well in advance of your * train's departure time. It’s “first come, first served” for seats. 6 Travel “light” — take as little luggage as possible. Excess luggage only adds to the discomfort and confusion of already crowded trains. + 7 Get complete information about train schedules well in advance.
