Ones Who Will Come Back From War. :
_ 108 ANGELES, Feb. Feb, 3.—Ameri-
war, both on the battlefront and on| the home front, Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker told the Advertising club here today. He declared that the nation had spent billions trying to destroy these qualities—' to plan the| lives of 130,000 people by a superior few”—and now was spending its war billions to recreate the same qualities.
“When this war is over,” Oapt.|®
Rickenbacker said, “there will be more rugged individualists come back to America from the four corners of the world than we ever had at any one time in our history— and I thank God for that.” He said these returning troops would not accept regimentation or planned economy, but would demand the same opportunities previous generations of Americans have had
Critical of Absenteeism
Capt. Rickenbacker charged that the “perpetual slow-down in war industry caused by absenteeism” is -the most flagrant abuse of the home front. It exceeds 10 per cent in the aircraft industry, he said. “In the Boeing factory alone, the day following Christmas, 26 per cent of the employees were absentees,

” more planes. “In the Douglas plant, there was an absenteeism of 1100 employees the day after Christmas—a shocking and deplorable condition. : “There is no absenteeism in the fox holes in the jungles of the Pacific or the burning sands of Africa, for if attempted there, they would get a bayonet in their bellies from their fellow Americans.”
Asks More Effort
Capt. Rickenbacker declared that the absenteeism should’ be cut in half and said that America’s critical problem is not a shortage of manpower hours but “the shortage of productive manpower hours.” He asked for “a little more effort —a few more hours—a little more sincerity in your endeavor. It may

He urged that congress enact a three-point program to benefit returning soldiers: “First, upon his release or dis- , any member of our. armed can be employed by any employer without having to join any organized labor unions; “Second, upon his employment, he ve equal voting rights with employee in any union,

Rep. James W. Mott (R., Ore.) asked Jeffers if he thought “you

The rubber director evidently had not read the July article by Wallace. -In that article, Wallace warned that rubber — meaning farmers whose surplus’ crops could go into synthetic tires — was being used as a front for a new isolationism that very well could lead to world war 000} ITI. “This mew isolationism,” wrote Wallace, “would not only destroy the export market for the United d| States but would cause great hardship among the producing populace of countries which normally export to the United States.”
