Omaha: 2121. i i utting It Mildly Democratic Rep. Carter Manasco says the ad- full employment bill Is "vague and Hcallstlc." That's putting It mildly.

Tho bill requires the president, at the beginning i each year, to estimate how many Jobs will be oquircd and how many will be 'available. Crystal gazing never has been carried this far, oven In the almanacs which predict the weather a year In advance. It may prove a little puzzling but It won't bo so hard to guess how many people will bo wanting John. All the president and his advisers will have to do Is to guess whether the boys and girls will remain In school or look for a job, whether mother will stay at home or go out to work and what grandpa will want to do. But when It comes to guessing how many Jobs will be available, that will take some finagling.

There la no possibility of a dependable estimate of prospective employment 12 months In advance. Remember how good everything looked In 1929 and what happened a few months later? Romember the now deal promises In 1936 and what happened tn 1937? Tho record of the economic forecasters Is terrible. Even now they are millions apart In matcs of unemployment by Christmas. If the Wagner-Murray bill should pass, the president and his advisors would not merely have to guess the number of Jobs and the number of workers. They would also havo to toll congioss what policies to adopt to moot any deficit In tho anticipated number of Jobs.

In other words advise con- gross what to do about taxes, tariffs, wages, prices, banking, foreign trade and so on. Political campaigns havo boon waged on those Issues but tho president and his advisors would havo to toll congress right away what to do and see that they did It just like an automatic calculating machine that gives you tho right answer when you push certain buttons and pull a lever. But suppose there aren't enough jobs In sight it all tho recommended policies are adopted? Tho president und advisers are supposed to tell congiess what public works to and how to got tho money to pay for them on top of the $800 billion war debt. Three things must bo kept in mind about the VVagnor-Munay bill. Fltst, It Is a long range metis- lire It wouldn't do thing to create Jobs for at least a your, Second, It probably wouldn't work at till.

Third, It Is on administration smoke screen thrown up to distract attention from the impending unemployment crisis. Jobs for Women Between 2,000,000 and women will bo out ot Jobs by December, predicts Frieda Miller, chief of tho women's burrau of the department of labor, Most of these will bo women who have been working In tho war Industries. Many never had regular Jobs before. Several thousand will bo women who belong to tho WAGS, WAVES, and other women's units in tho armed forces, Most of these hud jobs before they entered the services. The majority will desire to return to their former vocations.

Jobs for women will not bo plentiful In the coming months. Those who took the places of men in business and Industry will havo to stand aside, when tho veterans return to claim the jobs they left when drafted. Other women will lose their Jobs because of tho traditional proteronce for men In industry and certain linos of business, Surveys by the women's bureau and other organizations make It plain that tho majority of women who have had war Jobs would like to keep on working. With most of thoso who had jobs before the war it Is a matter of necessity. They must support themselves and often times another member of the family as well, Others havo come to like steady work with a regular income and will bo reluctant to revert to dependence on relatives or to occasional employment.

Sharp economic adjustments have to be made by hundreds of thousands of women. Those who return to pro-war occupations will likewise return to pro-war pay. or at least to wages considerably below what they have been receiving. The abruptness with which they wore separated from their Jobs undoubtedly shocked the majority ot women workers They know their employment would end with the war, but it ended more suddenly than they anticipated, Unemployment pay will help during tho period of readjustment but the weeks will roll by rapidly They will hope agnlnst hope that tho economists were rlRht, who predicted tho country would soon swing It. to peacetime production on a huge scale luiostliig peacetime employment far above pre-war levels.

A Punted American This is the true story of Donald Dempsey, who lives In reckskill, N. Y. Other upstanding Americans have had similar experiences. Dempsey wears a discharge button and carries nn honorable discharge-- and has been ordered by the army to report for active doty. He.

reads in tho papers that man-power controls have been lifted -and has a letter from tho national advisory council on aeronautics tolling him that ho Is frozen In a job ha loft four months ago. Mr Dsmpsoy troubles began In October, 1944, he was a happy 36-year-old private first class in the army air force. NACA offered him a civil service specialist's job at Langley field, work- Ing on high priority secret devices and paying a year. He accepted, and his army discharge was put In motion. Then NACA told him they had erred, the Job paid only $2,600.

Mr. Dempsey demurred, but meanwhile his honorable discharge came through, and ho went to Langley field. There he was put to work, over his protests, at $2,300 a year. He started in but assured his superiors that if his salary were not changed he would leaved Six months lat.er it was still $2,300. He left.

Back In Peeksklll he set about reviving his peacetime occupation, the management of three gasoline service stations. He engaged, meanwhile, in constant epistolary controversy with NACA. They wouldn't budge: Mr. Dempsey wouldn't budge. Finally, he wrote and suggested that NACA notify the army that he was available once more for service as a private first class, because he certainly was through with civil service.

That was in and the whole controversy died down. On Aug. 14 it revived again. From the army came a letter addressed to First Class Donald Dempsoy," serial number and all, informing him he was In the army once more, Three days later came, a civil service form from the NACA, dated June 25 but postmarked Aug. 17, formally notifying him that his resignation had been accepted, but warning him he could take no other Job.

Mr. (or Pfc.) Dempsey would like to know where he stands, He has no Idea whether ho is a civilian or soldier, or whether he can operate his service stations or must wait until he is unfrozen, He has no Idea, either, how ho can become unfrozen. The red tape trips him up every time he tries to take a step In any direction. It's all very puzzling--and annoying. 1 The Wear Outlook A narrow spread in cattle prices with reduced margins for feed lot operators will mean fewer finished beef cattle this season, writes H.

Conway in the September issue of the National Live Stock Producer. More cattle coming to market are being slaughtered with the result that fewer are going into the feed lots. Holding of growing stock in producing areas is being encouraged. "Exceedingly favorable packer killing margins prevail for all Conway continues. "There is apparently sufficient killing capacity and consumer demand lor all cattla that will be marketed during the balance of the year, This, however, fan mean lolatlvely short supplies of beef during the feeding season next year and also during the summer pasture period'" Conway advises coin bolt feeders that "feeding program? should bo of a typo that will put short- cattle on tho market duilng tho winter, lower grades duilng tho early spilng and long-fed cattle cluing the early summer.

Price controls are such as to encourage an early fall low on grass cattle. This can apply also to feeders, especially in view of tho prospective supply of soft corn this year It is necessary to put emphasis on short-teim feeding piograms with maximum utilization of pasture and loughage." Delayed marketing of tho spring pig crop has le- sultod In Over-emphasizing a short supply of pork oroclucts that is normal for this season of the year, ticoordlng to Conway, who says: "No significant increase in marketings is expected until the turn of tho year and, even then, pork and lard supplies can bo far short of tho demand Feeding policies for tho next year will no doubt further curtail pork tonnage. Far 1946 as whole, there apparently will bo considerable less poik than was produced this year," If Mr. Conwny Is right, meat rationing may continue longer than Is now anticipated, The Japs admit they didn't win friends In the countries they conquered, Or anywhere else.

Alton Democrat: People might just as well gel over the idea of any big tax reductions because It's going to take at least 10 years of the heaviest kind of tax tolls to got that $300,000,000,000 debt to more reasonable proportions where it won't be so top- heavy.

Administration's Handling ojf Argentine Problem Sorely in Need oj Clarification SIDE GLANCES By David Lawrence. WASHINGTON--What does the Understates Intend to do about the Argentine "problem" Developments over the week-end hardly tend to clarify the position of the Washington administration.

In fact, It would seem that the a President Roosevelt's action in recog; nlzlngthe present government at Buenos Aires --a step that had the active Lawrence. and unanimous support of all Latin-American governments--is about to be repudiated in large part by President Truman and Secretary of State Byrnes, Cordell Hull was a great American secretary of state, but one 01 the very few mistakes he made was in the final stages of his policy toward Argentina, President Roosevelt rectified the error by' approving on March 16 of this year a written plan for the formal recognition of and admission of Argentina into the Pan-American family of nations and giving her on opportunity to declare war on Germany and Japan and sign the United Nation's declaration. Mr. Hull now is credited with having influenced Secretary Byrnes to follow the state department policies of 1944 Pulling Ambassador An Error. It is true that the Farrel-Peron government in Buenos Aires has not as yet lived all the commitments it made at the Mexico City conference, but the pot is boil- Ing inside Argentine and the ferment of democracy is working.

To make a decision now to withdraw cur ambassador and not replace him at this critical time when the Argentine people need our encouragement and support is a gravt evior. The business of snubbing friendly peoples by withdrawing as ambassador has played havoc with our relations with Latin America in the psit and has served only to foment anti-American movements in this hemisphere as well as being used in the countries affected as a means of capitalizing a people's patriotism and stimulating resentment against "foreign dictation." When Norman Armour, the American ambassador, was withdrawn from Argentine last year in the same kind of move as is being made now, it did not help matters but tended to give the fascist groups a free hand by withdrawing our own contacts with the democratic elements in Argentina. Subsequently other Latin American countries saw the unfortunate consequences of this step and this presumably influenced the late President Roosevelt last March to approve a new program whereby ambassadors from all Latin American countries and the United States would be sent to recognize the government in Argentina and to admit the Argentine people into the family of nations, President Truman and Secretary Stettlnlus as well as all the members of the United States delegation at San Franclaco approved the admission of Argentina to the United Nations' conference. Must Build Friendship. Now Latin American governments and peoples will wonder at the sudden reversal of a major policy single-handed and without consultation with them.

They have heard, first from the newspapers, that a so-called "stiffening" is to be applied to our policy toward Argentina. During the war It was logical for the United States through the department of state and other channels to Inveigh against axis agents and Influence and to use ecqnomic weapons, but the war is over and the question now is how to build a lasting friendship with the Argentine people who can be trusted in the approaching elec- At Your Service An Information nervlce on G. 1. matters of all Idnils Anawois will be urn la lied to on family allowances, allotments, compensation claims, hospltallzatlon, vocational training, re-employment, educational rights Insurance, pensions, loans, civil aorvlco preference rights, Income tax deferments, noldler'i anil sailor's civil relief, veterans' organization, leftlitatlon--am thing pnrtnln- Ins to tho needs and welfare rtgMn and privileges of service men and women, votornni and their dependent!

SO YOU HAVE BEACHED THE TROMBONE AGE From Prof Walter B. Cannon's book "The Way of an Investigator" (W. W. Norton Co, N.

I reckon the best way is to face these tragedies when they come to us and take what consolation we can from tho knowledge that they come to everybody sooner or later. "Brown spots appear on the face and hands. The hnlrs grow long in the eas and nostrils, and the oyebrows become shaggy until they may lend a fierce look to the countenance." Of course Professor Cannon is speaking of men.

Probably every reader of this will think of certain gentlemen who may keep the hairs In the cars and nostrils neatly clipped but not the shaggy eyebrows--evidently they like to look fierce! "The skin Is less elastic, as is shown by pinching'It on the back of the hand und noting a briefly persistent rid'ge instead of a prompt to the proper level.

The sensible man or woman will have the right glasses, bi-focals, as a rule, fitted and leave the trombone playing to the dum'oclls who kid themselves they nre kidding their acquaintances. With the aid of such glasses one simply forgets one is wearing glasses--until one forgets them or the glasses arc broken or the frames are accidentally bent QUESTIONS ANSWERS.

WASHINGTON There's a great big lauglvnere In Washington on those members of congress who have been moaning for four that we would never get rid of censorship, price controls, manpower controls, wage controls, rationing, priorities nnd all iur other government wartime restrictions. Congress cut Its nine-week vacation practically in half, but it already is apparent that the would- be ax-wicldeM are returning to the chopping block to discover there's practically nothing left to cut off. Even before the Japanese could screw up courage to meet Gen. MacArthur face to fuce, a business man couldn't keep pace with the way wartime restrictions were fall- Ing off. War agency employes were getting In the habit of calling to find If they still had Jobs before they gulped their coffee; jalopies were capering all over the place on full tanks of gas; and merchants here In the heart of wartime restrictions were hanging out signs: "If we haven't got It, we soon will have." Censorship Director Byron Price was the first to put up the "Out of Business" placard, "01 Curmudgeon" Harold Ickcs didn't wait 48 hours to lift the ban on gasoline and fuel oil.

His capable director, Ralph K. Davlca, told friends that Petroleum Administration for War would be gone, completely within 120 days. OPA'started, lifting rationing no fast shoppers couldn't keep up with them; Secretary of AirrleuUure Anderson began to talk about plenty of unrationcd meat by fall. The War Labor Board stripped Itself of about 90 per cent of ita authority. The War Manpower Commission opened the on job restrictions.

WPB cut loose basic metals and a score of other that opened the flood-gates of re- conversion. I could go on listing for columns, but the list would be Incomplete before this gets into print. There's a reason for It, of course --one that Isn't easy to dig out. After questioning in a dozen agencies, Including WPB, OPA and PAW, I have concluded that It is principally because nearly 'all these war agencies.are run by Industry men. These men arc just as sick of -wartime controls as anv of us--and Incidentally Just as sick of government red taw, There's a twlltlcal Implication in the speed with which war arc being lifted too; a admlnlstratlon forces, both republicans and greener-pasture democrats, are going to find one of their powerful "weapons" of administration crltlc'sm melted away In their hands.

Women Move Into Man's Domain But Not in Medicine By Lamii. Nonpareil Washington Correspondent. WASHINGTON-- Women have made permanent inroads in practically every business and profession during the war, except as doctors, according to a report by Women's Bureau of the Department of Labor.

-It takes about one doctor per thousand civilians to meet average needs. It takes little more than six to care for the-needs of men In uniform, The obvious reason for the doctor shortage during the war is that 10,000,000 of the population needed six times an mucn doctor care. Increased i Industrial activity also created a greater need 'or doctors, In spite of this Increased opportunity, the number of women who elected to become has remained fairly static, The report Ahows that In 3941 there wcic 1.146 women student? In approved medical schools and in 1944, 1,170 Here arc some of the reasons given by the report: "Length ot the training program for medicine as compared with other professions is of Itself a detcircnt to ninny women, since It not only Increnscs the total cost to the student but also postponed the dale at which she can begin to earn. "Before the war, nn estimate of a year was considered a conservative allowance for a medical education budget for a single year, $1,200 Ii a safer allowance now. Since the war, tuition rate.t as well as other expenses have increased.

The average tuition fee for medical schools in 1043 wris ns compared with $378 In 1MO. The charge at the Women's Medical college In Philadelphia i.s $500," Compared with men, women haven't done too well financially in the medical profession. For all physicians, the average net income in 1941 was $6,179. Half the physicians netted less than $4,000 i.nd 13 per cent earned more than $10,000 In that year. According to the National Federation of Busi- IKSS and Professional Women's clubs, the average woman physician among its membership earned $3,000 in 1942.

Women haven't crashed the lucrative business of becoming specialists as much ns men" Five per cent of all women phyntclanrf arc qualified specialists, compared With 8 per cent for men. Womon tend toward specializing in children's diseases and In psychiatry and neurology. It Is easier for women to obtain proper training In these fields than In general surgery, for Instance. Highest ratio of women doctors Is in the west. Lowest Is In the south.

Women had a tough time In convincing the army and navy they could be useful to the service in uniform. In 1944, 75 were commissioned officers in the army, 38 jn the navy, and 20 in the public health service. The report shows more oppor- tunity for medical training ii gradually opening up for women. But hospitals, it claims, have been willing to offer residence! to thorn) This, In spite of the fact that the number of residences 1ms trebled since 1927. The report says more women marry than the average of other professional women.

In 1940 half of the wbliion doctors wcie single, one-third were married, one- seventh were widowed or divorced. In the same year two-thirds of i women in other professional and" semi-professional woik were reported single. The average woman physician younger than men physicians with an nvcrnge of 41,3 yoaro, compared with 44,1 for mole doctors. As a result of the ulrpped-iip training of male doctors by at my nnd navy, there hns bpcn a fear expressed that the field will be over-crowded and women will bo completely ousted. But i venl thnt there never hns been a 1lmc when nil the mcdlrnl needs ut DIP population have been mot.
