It notes Akron and West Virginia labor patterns as examples and calls for congressional action to decentralize industry for safer living in towns under 25,000.

UMT showdown fails as House returns bill to committee
The Nation Today reports that the House delayed a final vote on Universal Military Training UMT by sending the bill back to committee after hearings and a 27 to 7 committee vote to proceed. The move aims to avoid an embarrassing showdown vote while key players push for or against UMT amid election pressures. The piece compares the political standoff to a dead chicken in a cooler. It notes the Senate could act independently but would still need House action, making UMT likely to lie unresolved for the session. It also references a Churchill quip about chicken and neck.
