The President's fact finding panel urged a wage settlement for General Motors similar to industry patterns, but GM had rejected panel authority. The piece notes public questions about data used, highlights panel integrity, and critiques wartime demobilization and Army press censorship, urging clearer future plans and a fair demobilization for high pointers.
The piece argues GIs overseas protests over slow demobilization reflect an army failure to implement a clear orderly plan. It blames Army leadership for uncertainty that pushed servicemen to boiling points, noting accountability lies with military management rather than the soldiers.
A compilation of admonitions on privacy and public opinion from Robert Quillen and others. It urges criticizing others to gain space, then shifts to cautions about money handling and national duty, ending with a new book title about American labor and virtue.
Herbert John Lamoureaux, a 22 year old former American soldier, leaped from a ship near England to swim five miles to his wife and two month old daughter on shore. He was deported for lacking a British visa but later reached shore with the captain's 24 hour pass to spend time with his wife and child.
A Cicero aphorism warns that increasing provisions near life’s end is foolish. The old man’s road is shorter, yet avarice grows impractical as one nears departure. The quote reflects thrift and perspective in aging.
A wry war-time reflection mocks misjudgments in China and Mongolia. It jokes about smuggling a diplomat, Mongol appeasement, Chinese modernization, and a critique of promotions and obedience in military ranks. The piece ends with a nod to Ripley’s influence.
The piece critiques President Truman and Congress for failing to provide a transitional wartime to peacetime military policy. It argues troops abroad face uncertainty without replacements, notes misdirected decisions on mergers and training bills, and calls for more volunteers while warning the draft could end at any moment.
The editorial argues the War Department is unwieldy and should be restructured or merged, urging a capable secretary with legislative insight. It proposes recruiting the Marine Corps to 500,000 for quick occupation duties in the Pacific, enabling rapid relief of troops in the Philippines and Japan while European goals shift to Army volunteers.
Raymond Moley surveys New York politics, praising Robert Moses as park commissioner and policy adviser under O Dwyer. He argues reformers often seek to build machines, whereas Moses works for public service without a personal following, while calling for clearer leadership in the war department and new Senate military policy.
President Truman arranged a full hour with Chester Bowles to push inflationary steel price rises. Bowles, a former ad executive, urged steel leaders to accept modest wage and price increases, but they believed they could gain more with John Snyder’s assurances. Bowles warned the move could breach the anti inflation dyke and trigger broader price increases across industries.
Marquis Childs surveys postwar tensions between the United States and Soviet Union reflected in Eisenhower’s talks with Zhukov. He contrasts conscription and manpower, peacetime military aims, and the political grip on defense budgets as Congress debates steady forces and wage-linked steel price hikes.
Dr Brady argues rheumatics mislead about weather, while most people react to dampness. He mocks winter gloom, urges practical comfort, and dismisses worries about wet clothes or feet. The column also covers health pledges, chloramine mouthwash, and dental hygiene with soap as a baseline cleaner.
