[Important Legislation—
Congress is considering the fol-
lowing legislation: (1) the Trea-
sury-White House tax bill for an
additional $12-billion to hold down
inflation; (2) the induction of
fathers; (3) extension of subsid-
ies or a system of Government pur
chase and resale of consumer com
modities; (4) the anti-poll tax bill
(complicated by a probable deci-
sion of the Supreme Court on a
case brought up from Texas as to
whether "lily white" primaries are
constitutional; no reasonable chan-
ce of it becoming a law); (5) the
fight against inflation by exten-
sion of price control—farm prices
have hit highest peak in 23 years—
and they are entitled to it as the
farmers gamble against droughts,
floods, pests and uncertain mar-
kets, and lose oftener than the
business man.
THE WAR AT A GLANCE!—
Elbert's 2-day old German Gov-
ernment signed the Armistice in
1918 and Hitler's successor may do
it in 24-hours. . . The German
subjugated countries have thrown
off fatalistic acceptance for active
sabotage. . . The solidarity of
Britain and America is unparalled
in the history of war allies. . .
Japan continues to liberalize her
peace overtures to China. . . Ger-
many can maintain great armies
in Italy only by weakening her-
self in Russia. . . A full-scale of-
fensive against Japan takes time
—but it is coming. . . Finland, con-
vinced of Germany's eventual de-
feat, is trying to make peace with
Russia. . . German subs are based
to equip with more fire power
for a last winter campaign. . . A
professional pessimist—one who
predicts a ten-year war with Jap-
an. . , With American weapons
again pouring into China over the
Burma Road, Japan will topple
like Italy. . . Air power—386 bomb
ings drove the Japs from KiAa
without the loss of a single Ameri
can soldier. . . MacArthur's cap-
ture of the strong Jap baseat Lae-
Salamaua, New Guinea, relieves
any threat to Australia. . . Hitler
said that a poor ally was more
of a handicap than an asset— It-
aly proved him right for once. . .
Top German War Lords will try
to engineer a phony revolution
when she cracks to save their
necks and salvage their war ma-
chine.
Thin Bill incorporates the Pres-
ident's six point veteran program,
but it goes beyond his post-war
commitments in aid to veterans of
World War II. My Bill it not a
dole nor a bonus. It is a simple
business proposition, which recog-
nizes the veteran's service in a
practical way commensurate with
his sacrifices for Victory and
Freedom. The following outlines
its principal points:
(1) Continuation of service pay
for three months after discharge,
to be followed by unemployment
compensation for 26 weeks—pro-
vided veteran has not found a
job.
(2) Free vocational training for
all veterans.
(3) Disposal of the Nation's
vast stockpile of surplus war pro-
perty—trucks, jeeps, planes, mach
inery and tools—to veterans with
priority rights of purchase, to en-
courage their establishment of
businesses.
(4) Compulsory employment of
disabled veterans on the basis of
at least one disabled veteran for
100 other employees.
(5) A 10 per cent increase in
the redemption value of war bonds
purchased by members of the arm-
ed services, when used to apply
on purchase price of a farm or
Government surplus supplies.
(6) A Social Security benefit
credit for the period of service in
the armed forces at the rate ac-
credited a civilian making $1700
annually.
(7) Provide special aid and coun
sel by die Veterans Administra-
tion to be paid for out of a special
fund.
(8) Provides for a special ap-
propriation to purchase farms
for qualified veterans under the
terms of the Bankhead-Jones Farm
Tenant Act.
(9) The provisions of this Act
to become effective immediately
so the veterans currently being
discharged may participate in its
benefits.

DOANS PILLS
Woman In The War
Texas women help make up the
five million American women from
sixteen to sixty-five who are run-
ning lathes, riveting and welding,
for their sons, husbands, fathers
brothers and sweethearts, and for
victory of Old Glory. This number
will increase as the duration is
prolonged. Debutantes are precision
tapping and making parachutes,
while grandmother is annealing
case parts, mother assorts machine
gun parts, and sister operates a
rivet gun, or serves in the WAC.
And now does everybody like it?
Well, no complaints. Their num-
bers are steadily increasing. They
are adept, exact, quick, dexterous,
and on the whole, have shown a |
more patriotic and cooperative j
spirit than their men workers.
They have laid glamor aside for'
service, their conduct is exempl-
ary, her male attire is sensible!
and necessary for safty. In the de-
fense plant they are no longer re-
ferred to as "the powder-puff brig-
ade" because their record of pro-j
duction is as good as the men.
Veteran Reemployment Rights
Congress was careful not to make
the mistake of 1918 again when
our conquering heroes came home
and were discharged without jobs.
Returning soldiers may be demo-
bilized only as they are placed in
employment. The Selective Train-
ning and Service Act of 1940, Sec-
tion 8, says: Employers must re-
employ a returning war veteran
(whether inducted or enlisted) in
a position of like status, seniority
and pay—(a) if he directly left
your employ for the armed ser-
vices; (b) if he applies for his
job within 40 days after discharge
(c) if the position he left is not
temporary; (d) if he is still quali-
fied for the job; (e) if your cir-
cumstances have not so changed as
to make reemployment impossible
or unreasonable. He cannot be dis-
charged for one year without cause
THE HOME FRONT—
"Headline victories" must noti
produce lags on the home front, j
. . . The war may inspire teaching
j non-sectarian religion in our
schools as a powerful influence
for peace. . . 164 cargo vessels to-
I taling 1,697,400 deadweight tons
j were built during August . . . Dis-
posal surplus war stocks to pre^
vent injury to private business is
a knotty Congressional problem.
. • . One out of every three gai-
(Ions of gas is consumed by war
machine. . . Individuals can close
the inflationary gap by subscrib-
I ing to the Third War Loan. . .
The Government urges youth who
worked on farms this summer to
aid the war effort to return to
school. . . The Army jeep will be
lan all-round vehicle for farm work|
POST—WAR SOLDIER AID—
I have introduced a comprehen-
sive Bill in the House for the re-
habilitation of discharged service
men and women. My Bill, H. R.
3200, is known as "The Demobiliza
tion and Surplus War Property
Act," and its sole purpose is to
help discharged servicemen get
back on their feet and into busi-
ness in their own communities.

The War Is Not
Won Yet!
Our armed forces have a con-
tinuous fighting job. And so it is
with buying bonds. Buying bonds
is a continuing responsibility for
everyone who can scrape the
price of a bond together at any
time. You should buy bonds as
often as you can. Your bond
money goes into the war at once.
It keeps out of consumer markets
and helps fight inflation. Bond
money is double duty money . . .
fighting the war on foreign
fronts and inflation on the home
front. Keep buying bonds!
Uncle Sam Wants to Borrow
$15,000,000,000
Uncle Sam needs your fighting dollars. This
$15,000,000,000 war bond drive is the big-
gest ever launched in America. Let's all put
every dollar we can to work for Victory.
Loaning the money to win the war is easy.
Any issuing agent can take your money and
immediately deliver your bond. Buy as big
a bond as you can. The bigger the better and
the less it costs the government and you in
bookkeeping. Buy a big bond today and keep
this great campaign rolling. Back the attack
with Bonds.
