For instance, any system giving em- ployment preferences to dismissed war workers would entail a degree of regimentation of private industry that would probably be both impracticable and unde- sirable However, excessive absenteeism and high labor turnover are evils that call for prompt remedial action. A warning note on those evils is sounded in the Baruch report. “The war,” it says, “will not end tomorrow, but ‘peace jitters’ already are cutting the war production.” For this reason any proposals looking toward relief should be given careful study. We therefore dwait with interest the results of the findings of the WMC planning board assigned to work out details of the dismissal pay plan. If any program of this kind should be put into effect, pre- ably it would become part of a general demob- falling under the supervision of appointed work director, Brig. Gen.

Hines Russia Looks On (Cincinnati Enquirer) The fact that two Russian Admirals recently wit- nessed details of American Army and Navy personnel landing operations practice in England may be of little real significance beyond showing that there is complete friendship between the two great powers. There is the possibility, however, that the Russians are considering some military moves within the not tco distant future which may require the use of amphibious ¢ t. There are several spots at which such landings might be staged DISMISSAL PAY The American people have so keen a recollection of what mass unemployment means in the way of physical deprivation and spiritual suffering that they can hardly be blamed for playing safe and trying to shift from insecure war jobs while the going is good Yet it is sessential that they be kept on the job and At both ends of the Russian-German lines are great bodies of water. In either the Baltic or Black Sea, as present campaigns are developed, op portunities may arise in which Soviet commanders could resort to naval-military correlation with great chances of success. The Crimea, that large and im- portant half island which the Germans still hold in the Black Sea, could be attacked in this fashion. Once such a ory was complete, Russia could head her landing aft toward the coasts of Rumania, co- operating with army advances beyond the borders of Bessarabia the | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARCH 17 John H.

This | suggested dismissal pay would be in the nature of n: specfal reward given to war workers who stuck to their jobs. It would not be a substitute for benefits payable under existing unemployment insurance systems, as the AFL seems to fear. Obviously the cost of any such system would have to be borne directly or in- directly by the Government. For private firms could not be expected to make provisions for hundreds of thousands of dismissed war workers, unless permitted “to charge dismissal pay outlays to Government ac- count or to build up special tax-exempt reserves from profits out of which to meet extraordinary expendi- tures. i The, idea is worthy of consideration in the event that pational service is not aceptable to Congress. Of course, the amounts payabale and the conditions under which payments should be made would have to J.H. 5. HONOR ROLL IS RELEASED TODAY BY SUPT.

We must consider, too, that Finland is not yet out of the war, and while it seems certain that she will be before too long. the Soviets still may find it necessary to carry the war deep into the little northern country. Here again there may be the possibility of amphibious operations. And in the campaign of the north the great inland Lake Peipus forms a part of the fighting front. Its crossing would give the Russians some practice and experience in this type of warfare. To date the Soviets have not found it necessary to use landing craft in any significant degree—i indeed, they have used them at all. Still in other parts of the world the value of such weapons has been proved beyond any doubt. That the United States is willing to share its advanced knowledge with Red leaders shows the trust which exists between various of the Allied commands. Whether or not the informa- tion thus given will become a part of the Soviet battle plan, time alone can tell o'clock and will probably be over by 9:30 o'clock.
