Sullivan, Indiana, under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. THE WARRIOR'S RETURN T The army's vast redeployment combined with the soc
ialist sweep in the British elections, has suddenly brought to ;
life political awareness of the post-war veteran problem. History is fairly crawling with examples of the difficulty in adjusting masses of veterans to civilian life at the end of a long war. In 1918, Russian veterans helped establish the -Soviet; in 1922, Italian veterans helped . establish Fascism; and the British soldier vote in 1945 was overwhelmingly pro-labor and against traditional British laissez-faire. With 15,000,000 prospective veterans of World War II, who, with their immediate families, will constitute at least one-third of the American electorate, the problem is one of adjusting American institutions to the veterans, quite as much as it is one of pouring the veterans back into the prefKvtrl Harbor mold of American life. I This was illustrated by army reports and polls which Showed that the, million and a half World, War II service men jiiveady discharged were pot especially interested in getting their, old j6ls back, as promised by the Selective Service Act Dl-1940. Instead, they wanted better jobs, preferably as their )vn bosses. , . There were two reactions immediately noticeable in Washington. Congress dropped all consideration of post-war
egislation, including amendments to the GI Bill of Rights,
fid recessed until Oct, 8 the first legislative long vacation face 1938. Senators and representatives hurried home : to
;he districts to talk with the returning GIs on furlough or in
irocess of release on tee anny s point system. At the same time, General Omar N. Eradley took over he Veterans Administration from General limes and began
o reorganize and restaff the bureau with World War II vet;rans, the first of whom was expected to be Col. Howard A.
nisk, AAF, as medical director. ' General Lewis B, Hershey, director of Selective Service, ried to push through the idea of "superseniority," by which veterans were entitled to re-employment, regardless of their jrevious industrial service;. This attempt to pit veterans (gainst labor was disclaimed by the (labor organizations, most if the veterans organizations and by the small group of .Vorld War II veterans already in Congress. Solution seemed o lie along the lines proposed by flep. Harold Knutson, Reublican of Minnesota, in an agreement to include military f-rvice in the GI's seniority. The Railroad Brotherhoods had cluntarily adopted this "cumulative seniority" for their own .embers in uniform, and there was no serious opposition rom the other labor unions. The second reaction involved the struggle of rival vetrans organizations for GI membership. The Legion, threatned with the loss of the mass-membership which gave its eaders political power in the 1920s and 1930s, revised its harter to admit World War II veterans. After an intensive irive, the Legion posts claimed 300,000 GIs as part of their nillion-odd members. The Veterans of Foreign Wars, formed iter the Spanish-American War and restricted to men who iad seen active military service, out-stripped the Legion and laimed to have 600,000 GIs in the 900,000 total VFW memXTship. , - ' Three new organizations emerged from thfc welter of 150 ittempts to organize the GIs along their own lines. The first vas the liberal American Veterans Committee, headed by Charles Bolte, with headquarters in New Ywk. The AVC laimed 2.500 members by the end of July. "Amvets" (Amricaa Veterans of World War II) was organized at Kansas "ity last December, under the leadership of Elmo Keel. 'Amvets," with 5,700 members, is opposed to CIO and PAC aid appears to be dominated by conservative southern influnces. The third organization, Committee of Veterans Vorld War II, is under investigation bv the Deoartment of
Justice. Formed (early this year by a Chicago isolationist
a-oup, in contact wrth Joe McWilhams, Gerald L. K. Smith, ind ex-Senator Robert R. Reynolds of North Carolina, the Chicago group has been accused of harboring storm-trooper iinbitions for Reynolds' Nationalist party. - It was, however, much too early to anticipate whether ny of the existing veterans organizations would succeed in nmg up the fifteen million GIs, Avhose general trend seemed o be powerfully directed towards a national policy of full mployment, rather than towards what one of them termed 'a priority position in all bread-lines"
