Parade in Watervliet Flags City as Elks Gift Dedicated
Rep. William T. Byrne praised Watervliet residents at the Flag Day parade and flag dedication ceremony. Thousands from Watervliet and nearby Troy observed a large procession with Army units, police, Boy Scouts, Red Cross volunteers, and Polish American groups, culminating in a 35 foot flagpole dedication funded by the Elks. Byrne forecast a postwar jobs surge and urged continued civic effort as war production remains high.

Faction ties and a criminal pact threaten national government
A searing critique denounces the New Deal Party and its alleged alliance with criminal elements. It accuses Congress and the Supreme Court of complicity, claims FBI incompetence, and argues that public attacks on reformers are met with labels of treason or fascism while labor gains are used as a cover for corruption.

Political Stage Today on Labor Clauses and War Seizures
DAYED LAWRENCE examines wartime labor provisions and penalties. He notes that thirty days notice of strike is required in war related plants but with no penalties for noncompliance. The piece argues that penalties are weak and seizures may be used to leverage concessions before peace ends, with unions likely to resume campaign contributions in 1946 and 1948.
