LATEST complication in our German policy grows out of the effort to determine the extent to which German labor unions can be revived, and whether political leadership can be expected from trade unionists and Social Democrats in Germany. The desire is to explore the "non-communist left," to use a state department phrase, in order to find groups untainted with either communism or nazism.

American trade unionists have been sent to Germany to work with Lt. Gen. Lucius Clay, top American officer in the American HAVE. YOU THOUGHT ABOUT YOUR COAL SUPPLY VOLUME LXVII NUMBER 179 FRIDAY, JUNE 22, 1945 12 British Appreciate Valor of U. S.

Soldiers in Far East From an editorial in The London Timei THE MOMENT when the full resources of the United Nations are being massed against Japan is a fitting occasion on which to pay tribute, not only to the immense American war potential, but still more to the desperate valor and heavy losses of the American fighting men in the Far East They, like their Australian and New Zealand comrades, have had to pay a grievous price for their island gains. The story of the marines at Tarawa, the 20,000 American casualties on Iwo Jima, the hand-to-hand fighting on Okinawa, all denote the ruthless bitterness of this campaign. The men of the heroic Fourteenth army who have fought the Japanese through the Burmese jungle with matchless courage and- tenacity can best appreciate the full measure of the American accomplishment, now to be backed in its final consummation with the full and undivided weight of American resources. Everybody's Ideas Let's Not Starve OWI ACTION" of the senate finance committee in approving $39,670,000 to keep the office of wax information going another year revives hope for nullifying an incredible bit of penny pinching in the house which threatens to silence America's voice in Europe at the very moment it is most needed. Just what the Republican minority had in mind when it engineered its $17,000,000 budget slash last week is difficult to understand.

OWI funds had already been pared from $42,000,000 to $35,000,000 when the house acted. This seems skimpy enough when compared with the $99,000,000 a year Britain is spending and the $540,000,000 Germany had been spending for similar services. If the house-approved $18,000,000 budget is allowed to stand, OWI operations in Europe will wither away at a time when the strong voice of American democracy ought to be bringing hope to demoralized war victims and preserving the good will American GIs won as liberators. Friction between American occupation troops and liberated peoples must be kept at a minimum by good public relations. And there is a tremendous psychological job of de-Nazifying Germany.

The OWI is not perfect. Yet it is 'doing a vital war job. Both Gen. Eisenhower and Gen. Marshall have urged congress to reverse the budget slash.

Acting Secretary of State Joseph Grew wants OWI's work continued. So do Gen. MacArthur and many other high ranking officials in a position to judge its usefulness to the war effort. Surely the Republican party should be the last to deny funds to an agency which is telling the world about American free enterprise by every means at its command and which is seeking to win support for our international aims of peace, increased trade and zone of occupation. Chief la-borite selected thus far is Joseph B.

Keenan, secretary of the AFL council in Chicago. As a vice-chairman of the war manpower commission, Keenan worked closely "with Clay when the latter was deputy to war mobilizer Byrnes. He sided frequently with Clay in controversies in which the CIO was in opposition. But whether Keenan is equipped for the delicate assignment he presumably is to carry out Is quite another matter. A building trades unionist of the old school, he knows little about Germany or the European labor movement.

Word came to Phil Murray of the CIO that Keenan was recruiting only AFL executives to go to Germany, and he promptly went to see Maj. Gen. J. II. Hildring, chief civil affairs officer, to protest.

Hilding said he had offered a position similar to Keenan's to one of Murray's closest associates, Clinton Golden of the CIO steelworkers union. The two were to serve together as a sort of joint department of labor under Clay In the American zone. But Golden declined. He said he was convinced the army would run the whole show in its own way and that he felt it was futile to go in the role of adviser. Now, however, the CIO is to nominate its own men to go to our zone in Germany.

Keenan has been in Europe since February. With him are Newman Jeffrey, formerly with the United Auto Workers when Homer Martin was head of that union, and James G. McDonald, out of the AFL. In the light of the general failure to fix any workable policy for Germany, all this may seem unimportant. Yet it is symptomatic of the lack of any agreement among ourselves on a policy for Europe.

Back of this, it seems to me, is the lack of a general understanding of what our national interests Europe is. The AFL-CIO split is in itself symptomatic of the factionalism which divides us, just as it illustrates the difficulties of working out policy if we had a policy in Germany. These differences were obscured by the war. As is becoming increasingly evident, with final victory they cannot be Prefers Present Order of Succession To the Editor: The suggestion that the speaker of the house succeed to the presidency, in the event of death or inability of the incumbent, seems reasonable enough, but the argument for it is not convincing. The speaker is elected to congress by the voters of his congressional district.

His colleagues elect him chairman of their group. He does not represent the people directly. We, the people, elect the president and vice president. The president appoints his cabinet, officials who resumably are in agreement with the policies we have approved when we elected the president. When the vice president becomes president he has the opportunity to appoint his cabinet.

These cabinet officials are likely to be men of greater ability than the average of elected congressmen. Therefore, I believe it is better to let the present law of presidential succession stand. Under it the present secretary of state would succeed to the presidency. He has shown ability and qualities of leadership of a high order. Minneapolis.

Urges Total Disarmament To the Editor: Why is it that no one at the United Nations conference has suggested total disarmament for every nation, as Russia did at a League of Nations meeting a number of years ago? The chief purpose of the San Francisco conference is to avoid future wars and total disarmament certainly would be a great assistance in achieving that purpose. If we had total disarmament for every nation, none would need universal military training, so why do the United Nations not work for this attainment? Minneapolis. W. S.

United States Steel and Wall Street have discouraged the project, contending steel can't be made economically on the west coast. However, Kaiser is determined to try, believes the west is potentially one of the great markets of the world and can supply its own goods. A strong move is underway to make former Senator Guy Gillette of Iowa, retiring head of the surplus war property hoard, the new undersecretary of state.

Dave Selznick is discussing with Hollywood moguls the idea of making Sumner Welles their spokesman for movies abroad. Some of the book publishers are considering the same idea. Their theory is that, as the champion of movies and books, Welles would be the first freedom spokesman of the American people abroad. Churchill, he found himself ready to fly home in a virtually empty plane. There were only five in his own party, but his plane could carry about 20.

So Davies invited the army to send some convalescent wounded men back with him. The army demurred, explaining that it would have to send its own doctor and couldn't spare a doctor except on one of its own hospital planes. Davies then invited the army to use his personal physician who was with him, but this was not according to regulations. In the end, Davies recruited his own passengers, a couple of privates, a Red Cross worker, two generals, and anyone else who wanted to fly the Atlantic home.

UNDER the Yalta agreement, the United States and Britain were supposed to send military missions into Vienna, but during the height of the Polish trouble, when United relations were strained, the Russians had taken all the Viennese airports and wouldn't let us land.

When the western Allies finally arrived in Vienna on June 3, there were some differences with the Soviet commander as to whether they could inspect all the city. He contended that the Yalta agreement permitted the western Allies access only the city of Vienna, which includes one airporj. The western Allies contended Yalta permitted them access to "Vienna Grau" or greater Vienna, including all airports. In the end, the Russians yielded. The French-British-American military found that the Russians were acting reasonably in Austria, and it has now been agreed that the Anglo-American occupation will extend to the west bank of the Danube.

The western Allies' representatives left Vienna June 11 to report to SHAEF. It looks as if another hurdle in relations with Russia has been ironed out. A bad situation is still boiling in Bulgaria, however. TEMPERATURES First column, temperature at 7:30 a day CWT; second, highest temperature to- terday; tnira. precipitation iaiti 41 noun.

S. Is Better Than 200 in the Old Country The Headache at Veterans' Hospital To the Editor: During my almost 10 years as chief medical officer at the Minnesota Soldiers Home I had intimate social and professional contact with the United States Veterans hospital at Fort Snelling. Under Carl Hibbard, manager; Ann Griffin, head nurse; Miss Warrington, dietitian, and Drs. Colton and McGuire, chief medical officers, nothing was left undone for the comfort and care of all patients. I doubt if one couTd find a more concientious, hard working, painstaking group.

The mortality and morbidity records of this hospital will compare favorably with any hospital providing such service. When we realize that this facility provides complete medical, surgical and physio-therapy care for all veterans in Minnesota, Montana, Wyoming, the east half of Wisconsin, and parts of Iowa, North and South Dakota, then we can partially appreciate the herculean task confronting the management at Fort Snelling. All of this with a chronic shortage of from 200 to 500 beds and a serious shortage of competent help. The regular work of management is not the principal headache for those working 10 to 14 hours a day to furnish the fine service provided, but it is the determined effort of every nit wit, not only singly but as committees, to tell these officers how to conduct their business. The professional veteran and the mis-guided pressure groups are having a field day right now.

It takes a sturdy soul to stand up under the sniping of these self-appointed managers. After Gen. Omar Bradley has had two years on the veterans' front he will beg President Truman to send him to the eastern front where comparative peace prevails. Anoka, Minn. Oliver R.

To dismantle one information agency of acknowledged usefulness only to create another to do the same job is neither sensible nor economical. GOP senators will do their party and their country a service by helping undo the work of their brethren in the house. Fill That Coal Bin ISN'T summer grand? Don't let it deceive you though, particularly if you use coal in your furnace.

Winter is one of the sure bets in this country. After a couple of mild seasons, the next one may be filled with old-fashioned blizzards, and 30 below weather. That would mean more coal burned and hurry-up orders to the dealers. Last February dealers were three weeks behind in their orders and the situation could be worse next winter. They have about 350 trucks of their own, but they can't always get the drivers they need.

They used to have an additional 350 independently owned trucks available for hauling coal. Most of these have been put to other services. The best way to guard against a coal shortage six months hence is to order now all the bin will hold, within government restrictions. About a fifth of the coal-burning homes in Minneapolis have storage space enough for the full year's supply an average of seven tons. Not only can these families make sure of their own coal, they can free dealer storage space for further shipments.

The slow trickle of coal orders leads deal-i rrs to suspect that many families have mistaken their consumer declaration forms for orders. Filling out the blanks had nothing to do with ordering coal, such action merely indicated needs. The order should go in to your retailer, at once. Minimum Wage Levels NEW MINIMUM WAGE legislation was proposed this week by Economic Stabilizer William H. Davis.

He would raise the level from 40 to 50 cents an hour for workers in industries engaged in interstate commerce or producing on government contract. In special cases where production is badly needed, as in textiles today, higher rates could apply if special committees recommended them. Minimum wage legislation has been relegated to the background during the busy war period. But with declining war production and increasing conversion, the change back to the 40-hour week raises the question anew. Workers and management are eager for greater returns, but they must combine their efforts and increase production to secure any real advances in the standard of living.

During the war, something of a revolution has taken place in industry: "Restrictionism" largely has been cast away. Millions of workers have acquired new skills in a shorter period than ever before. Our armed forces have learned, and have taught the enemy, the overwhelming power of our industry. Wartime workers, who in peacetime might have been on "made work," have observed the excellent jobs possible in industry when it advances production rates and efficiency. Rebuilding America requires vigorous production which will enlarge the number of better jobs, so that all jobs have a better prospect of being pulled up above the low-water mark of the minimum wage.

San Francisco: Dorothy INCREASED NATIONAL INCOME SEEN IN FREIGHT RATE RULING SUBSCRIPTION RATES, BY 3IAIL Service Men Like Stassen To the Editor: Like a giant redwood in a grove of willows, Harold E. Stassen stands above all aspirants for the Republican presidential nomination in 1948. Recently released from active duty with the army, I know what many of our service men think about people currently in the public eye. Their opinion of Stassen is high; they consider him most likely to win If nominated; they like his sincere, down-to-earth attitude; they share Franklin D. Roosevelt's faith in the former governor.

Men returning from service have a broader comprehension of life and life's problems than they had when they left schools, jobs and homes to fight. In future campaigns the man will overshadow the party; our veterans will judge a man by his record instead of his party affiliation. Kettle River, Minn. Buck Davidson. MINNESOTA.
