He is interested in "partial Industrial demobilization." That is the plan under which the war work of all American factories would be reduced simultaneously and to the same degreer The Idea is that, after a' certain victorioua stage in the war had been reached, we would cut, say. 25 per cent of each factory's war production. This would give each manufacturer an even 25-per cent-of-capacity start on making civilian goods. It would he unfair to have some plants continue 100 per cent on war goods, while others go to 100 per rent civilian goods. Factories kept on war work might never catch up.

for good. Hence the theory that, all factories ought to start making civilian goods with their left hands, so to speak, with all of them going to both hands at the same moment, when the war is over. Asks Question My soldier, correspondent does not object to this approach. He thinks it is rather decent. But, he asks, how do you apply the same principle to soldiers? A soldier is either 100 per cent in the war or 100 per cent out of it.

You can't release 25 per cent of a soldier, to give him an even start on civilian life. You ran release his left hand, so to speak.

Some Interesting facts that nave a direct bearing; on the case nave not yet come to light.

About two years ago, the White House ordered a complete investigation into the Savannah shipyards case, focue of the quarrel between Lit-tel and Biddle. aa well as other activities of the men who promoted that company. Handled by SEC the Investiga tion would be impartial, the White House ordered the Securities and Exchange Commission, whtch had had no previous connection with the matter, to make the inquiry. The SEC named a capable group of investigators, who spent months digging Into, the tangled record of Savannah shipyards and the high-powered promotions that preceded It. When they finally completed their report, they met with the commissioners to discuss their recommendations.

One question thoroughly threshed out concerned Thomas G. Corcoran and the part he played or did not Ply as a lawyer-lobbvist in getting Wlir contracts for the Savannah shipyards group. Corcoran had testified before the Truman committee that he had no real connection with the enterprise. Finally, after a heated argument, the commissioners ruled that the facts, as disclosed by the investigation, should stand without comment or recom- 'mendatlon. The younger men who had pieced the story together were outraged by this they could do in the face of the -Tm mat nas not Deen too sure or.

These men -are getting 100 per cent starts on civilian life: their mates remain 100 per cent in war work. At this point the army private offers a suggestion; when we finally come to large-scale demobilization, let us, he says, hold back those men who have secure private johs awaiting them, or civil service posts, or incomes, or college career, and let us release fust of all those men who must "look around" for a civilian start. Matter of Jobs If we could he sure nf postwar Johs for all.

the problem would not exist. But there is a report that 40613 workers have "(tufted away" from war industry in New Jersey in one year. Ijos Angeles losing war woikers monthly. Maryland declares that 4.1,000 out-of-staters have vanished in a year. Theie is a drift hark to old jobs and to farms as a number of workers, still relatively few, demobilize themselves 100 per cent In order to give themselves a time break on resuming "civilian" life.

They are trying to get the jump on their mates No one cares to he third in line when an apple is being divided into halves. There is the same fear in the -mind of the army private who writes to me, and of the war woiker who is easing himself back to his old position. Both Stettinius' appointment has other possibilities. He is 44 years old. He Is a former chairman of the board of United States Steel.

He always has been Democrat. His thinking was not obscured by hate or fear He did not ronfuse his own business and financial success with the rights of others He has been, and is. a Roosevelt Democrat. Byrnes was not a possibility. His background, including his switch of religious affiliations from the Catholic to the Protestant church, no doubt wsj made on the basis of conviction.

But a lot of people persist in thinking it was made because a Catholic has difficulty getting elected to office in South Carolina. They believe the switch wps made for political reasons. That put a blight on Jimmy Byrnes whFn he, pa-tf, leaders and bosses started 'thinking about getting rid of Henry A. Wallace at the Chicago convention. The secretary of state must.

In the years ahead, deal with many dominantly Catholic nations, including France, Italy, Belgium and the sister repuhlica to the of us Jimmy Byrnes didn't have the background. He would have had one or two strikes on him before he went to hat. Stettinius will be 48 years old in 1948 The Democratic party must, in 1948. have new faces, new leaders. It must have them in the years leading to 194K, for that matter.

Stettinius is the first Keep him and 1948 in mind. Other Changes There will be other cabinet changes The first one pleased almost everyone It confounded those it did not please The diehard critics of the press were waiting for a radical appointment They laughingly wrote, in the Mondav morning editions. that the President hardly- would Work view the postwar world as the dividing-up of a not-enough. Ones place in line becomes all important, and there are, already signs of shoving. Perhaps the answer lies In raising our talk about "full employment" from the level of a dinner table conversation to the level of a formal government pledge.

A joint resolution, proclaiming it to be the fixed intention of Congress to keep eveiy American at work, and sett.ng up a permanent full-employment commission to find out how, would greatly relieve the pressures on both soldier and worker; it would he an important war measure. The suggestion is not nearly as staggering or extreme as is the problem before us. Nervous Approach But the approach taker! by Con- nervous as the attitude shown by my soldier correspondent and by the drifting war woiker. Congress yoted dcrw-n a hill, last summer, to give something like adequate unemployment insurance lo war workers. But if Congress believes in full employment.

It need not fear unemployment Insurance. If we have anything lilie full employment, insurance will not have to be paid In showing fear of the cost of unemployment insurance, Congress revealed its own fear of unemployment By rejecting the bill, it intensified the fears of others. It is time for a more positive stand. dare affront the "left" by appointing Stettinius. He did appoint him.

There followed immesl ately approval by Vice-President Wallace and all leading administration Democrats who could be rearhed in the late hours following the appointment. The President, as usual, had outfeinted his critics and left them swinging wildly at a nonexistent target. There will follow the usual speculations as to whether the President is not swinging back to the right, as they say. He has swung in no direction. He is following his usual course of using the man best suited to all conditions.

Stettinius had been with Hull through most of the important conferences and knew the background. He was the logical man. Also, he will be 48 in 1948. Speculation Had the appointment been Byrnes or Wallace there would have been no speculation as to 1948 This places In sharp focus the next appointments. Henry A.

All the hospitals need nurses and are alarmed at the prospect of releasing any more to the army and the navy. Ho t.ie Red Cross" Is begging the women of America to take "training, given free, and become nuises' aides or qualified home nurses and thus release registered nurses who may be willing to join the army or the navy. It will mean a great deal to the boys who become casualties this winter. Vi 1 Bhl I '''t I Pegler Says; Judge Had By WESTBROOK PEGLER NEW YORK. Nov.

30 Judge Kenesaw Mountain Iindis. the commissioner of baseball, was the first of those decorative autocrats who were selected by various industries early in the era of wonderful nonsense, following the First World War. as personal guarantors of the morals and integrity of such trades. Baseball chose him at an hour when the game, as a business, was terribly distressed by the corruption of the world series between the White Sox and the Reds in 1919. For similar reasons, the movie industry selected Will Hays as its "czar." the newspaper term for such executives, and czarism became rife in the prize fight, the mop and broom, the garment and the hay, grain and feed Industries, with varying results.

Oddly. In a nation which had only yesterday dusted off its clothes, stuck court-plaater on its cuts and turned hilariously And JeJonJpUsly. to and viticulture, after rrurfhrng autocracy forever, the Americans took Joyously to the rule of czars In their nonessential hut sentimental interests. The mere presence Of Judge Landis, of the V. S.

District Court, was accepted as sn absolute guarantee that henceforth, as long as he ruled, sin and baseball would He This was an Illusion. A few athletes who had been doing business with underworld gamblers found themselves still In the toils and the management of one of the large major league firms had been associated with a bucket shop, a crooked race track, a questionable real estate promotion and an equally undignified oil stock flotation. Detested Gamblers Moreover, although Landis detected professional gamblers and revealed an intention to prevent even the most casual personal association between players snd crap-shooters, another of the men who was paying part of his salary as czar had been a dealer In gambling houses and was believed to have been a proprietor. Obviously, the czar couldn't fire certain of his own employers and the other employers, whose own background was relatively hygienic, cbuld not divest them of their properties, which were worth millions, end throw them out. As time wore on, however, these few beholden players aged and drifted out of the game and mortality adjusted the judge's position as to the Indecorous minority smong his own bosses.

There were only three more scandals involving playersT and, as far as the press and public know, which Isn't necessarily everything, the ugly specter of bribery has never again poisoned the well-springs of baseball's fair escutcheon, as the phrase used to go among the orators at the annual banquets. Still, the judge, or the squire as you called him if you knew him well, was In a strange position. Baseball has many laws, most of which, up to his time In office, favored the soulless corporations which were paying his salary and discriminated against the player, who was Called a chattel because he could, literally, he sold for cash or old hasehslls or. as legend Insisted in one case, traded for a bird dog.

Any loss of God must mean a loss In our moral nature and a loss in the ultimate purpose of life.

God is never a voluntary absentee from His children. Yet. He is not free to work with them when they are prisoners of sin and selfish purposes. God recognized man's need when He said through Christ, "Lo I am with you always." God made His commitment to the lives of His children and we are so involved in this commitment that without Him we create within our heart a world of uncertainty and doubt. Christ, as the supreme revelation of God, is a fixed point in a changing world.

He is the focal point of both time and eternity. As we anchor ourselves in Him, then life begins to take on something of a new meaning and a greate stability. This was the insight of the Evangelist John who said of Christ, "In Him was life, and that lifa The crux of our uncertainty Is to be found in the primeval question, "Am I my brother's keeper?"

President Roosevelt. By Galbraith ruling by their superiors. The report, several hundred pages in length, was turned over tn the Whits House, and the White House shortly afterward pasaed It on to the "Department of Justice for action.

No Indictments In due time this was done. In pite of the voluminous findings of the SFC, the grand Jury failed to return any indictments. The whole matter was dropped. I believe thi war investigating; committee would discover that that report was most interesting reading.

It bears directly on the war effort, and therefore the committee has every right to ask for the document. And, of course, it is di-rectlv related to the dispute in the Department of Justice. During the political campaign which ended on November 7, I kept wondering' why the Republicans didn't make use of the kind of ammunition provided by a case like Savannah shipyards. The reason may have been that, aa was shown in the SRC report, at least two Republican con--rramen were involved In the mess at Savannah. On the front pages of news-j papers here, two news slrjries lead back to Corcoran and tjse influence he has exercised for his clients In government departments where many officials owe their positions to his one-time White House connections.

The econd storv deal with the sale of radio station WMCA in New Side Glances His Worries ConCfZOHS 1'p to this time it had been the custom of the bosses to put their heads together and "whisper out" any player who made a nuisance of himself as an "agitator" or a hard-rock man, meaning a tiinneler who undermined managers and team morale with cnmplaints and demands. A major leaguer, thus whispered out, went down to the minor leagues or, In some rases, kppt right on going and found himself exiled entirely from organized baseball while still In his prime. This could be. even though his only offense was to ask for a raise In pay, and It was their resentment against low wages and the whispering-out process which animated some of the Chicago White Sox of 1919 In their unhappy decision to throw the world series to the Reds for bribes promised by gamblers which were not fully paid. They were receiving less than $3,000 a year, on the average, although they were rated then and still are regarded by some as the greatest team history.

Their employer, old Charlie Comisky, a gregarious host and politician, was known, through his hospitality and the consequent publicity, as the noblest Roman. But he had no romantic opinion of ball players, having been one himself, and he kept his payrolls down unreasonably to hi own great cost after the scandal, when he Inst his wonderful ball team, and never again In his life, could put together a winner. Had to Interpret I.andis had to Interpret baseball law, including issues involving enormous property values In which boss and player were the litigants and, sometimes, in the manner of czars, finding no law or the law unreasonable, be simply rolled his own. He was his own supreme court, except that in a crisis he could appeal to public opinion. Confident of his public position, he did fight the owners many times and made expensive decisions against them, sometimes in favor of individual players.

Strangely, although as judge, had paroled an underpaid hank clerk who had stolen 1100.000, he never would readmit to baseball any players who had been thrown out for corruption. True, in most rases, their talents waned in a few years but a disgraced ballplayer could not come back even as coach or bat-caddy. The disgraced White Sox remain notorious to this day, like so many Benedict Arnolds, although they did nothing against the public interest and their employer had been no more appreciative than the bank and had exposed them to great temptation.

He had a quaint habit of plucking a sprig of weed and stabbing it In his buttonhole. And when he was a federal judge, full rigged with the awesome dignity of the federal bench of those days, he pawned his life insurance to raise a loan for a cub reporter drawing $17 a week, who needed J3.000 for a desperate family emergency and, except in his character, was not a promising risk.
