The Washington labor management talks end in a fizzle after three weeks of bickering. Leaders from unions and business offer no major achievements and call for Congress and the administration to craft a new approach to the wage price problem. The piece also reflects a veteran’s view on civilian readjustment and patience.
The piece notes UNRRA dismissed about six hundred employees recently, largely foreign nationals lacking ties to voting countries. It calls the move a striking example of bureaucratic good sense and even suggests promoting the story to pressure other U. S. agencies to imitate the cleansing.
A columnist criticizes overprotective attitudes toward returning veterans noting they largely resume their lives and jobs as before. The piece observes steady veteran arrivals and asks for normal treatment rather than coddling. A navy veteran is mentioned as an example of adaptation.
The piece notes Walter Reuther of the CIO's United Auto Workers demands GM publish its financial books. It suggests unions should open their own books to members or the public to strengthen their case and counter rumors. It ends by recalling GM’s refusal and quipping After you, Alphonse.
A personal column exploring true humility versus servility, urging self-respect as the bedrock of character. Robert Louis Stevenson’s example prompts reflection on gentleness, manliness, and moral courage in faith and daily conduct. The writer contrasts humble virtue with vanity and calls Americans to self-sufficiency and fairness.
In blunt wartime prose the author claims Japanese science and weapons are dangerous despite assurances from experts. The piece mocks complacency, warns of nuclear and cyclotron misuses, and urges vigilance against underestimating enemy tech and potential threats.
A pithy remark from Klopstock notes that lacking personal opinion and relying on others' taste makes a person a slave to conformity. The line cautions independence of thought and authenticity in judgment.
Constantine Brown reports that Gen. George C. Marshall’s nomination to replace Maj. Gen. Hurley as ambassador to China signals a firm US stance toward Chungking. The move aims to counter Yenan, reassure Central government allies, and spur a purge of subversive elements in the State Department amid Capitol Hill scrutiny.
In 1925 Drew Pearson recalls Chiang Kai-shek’s evolving stance and Soviet-Chinese intrigue, noting Hurley’s idealistic diplomacy and warnings from Far East experts. The column contrasts past boycotts and food shortages with later U.S. aid shifts and political maneuvering amid civil conflicts and shifting alliances.
Marquis Childs argues against removing Senator Theodore Bilbo, warning impeachment sets a dangerous precedent for punishing views rather than acts. He says Bilbo reflects a broader failure of American democracy and warns of creating martyrs and emboldening peanut-politics.
Dr. Wm Brady argues sun exposure and wearing less clothing can aid health across ages from infants to the elderly. He cites ultraviolet light for vitamin D and calcium metabolism and notes goiter risk depends on iodine intake rather than Midwest location.
Observers may call the labor management conference a failure yet the issue is too complex for one session. A semi permanent committee will continue discussions while Congress reviews records to draft new legislation strengthening mediation and conciliation machinery and clarifying the Wagner act.
Palawan on Nos. 4 to 15 sees three Class IV units keep vigil for a homebound ship that never docked. Rumors of a Nov 5 arrival fade, morale collapses then recovers briefly with a Langfitt mission on Nov 13, but no ship appears. Thousands await resupply and a hopeful Christmas in vain.
