WASHINGTON By CLARENCE J. BROWN Member of Congress . The appearance of. General Eisen­ hower and;Admiral Nimitz before an informal meeting of the House and Senate .members last Tuesday morn­ ing, a t which time they discussed the demobilization programs of the Army and Navy, has BomewKat allayed Con­ gressional and public criticism, but has not. entirely satisfied members of rCongress *to the t fairness and effic- iency^with which veterans .are being discharged from the armed ■ forces. 'The greatest criticism, of course, h&s • beenagainst the Army demobilization ,. program,, and this past week a Senate qomniittee, headed .by Senator John- ,.sott of,Colorado, has been conducting .-.an investigation thereof. The com- -^mitteehas+disclosed-records-that-show the U. S. Army, as of December 31st, 1945, consisted of 3,750,000 enlisted men and 403,000 officers, while in World War One,-on November 30th ofpl)owipg the Armstice, the Army con­ sisted of 8,485,454 enlisted men and only 188,434 officers. The committee is wanting to know why we have .twice as many officers, in comparison with the number of enlisted men, in the present Army as during World War One. . If the demobilization program, as ; -outlined by General Eisenhower to Members of Congress, is not changed by Presidential or Congressional ac- ■ tion all enlisted meri- (except volun­ teers) who had 45ypoints as of Sept. 2 , 1945-^VJ Day-—or have'two . and - ope-half ycars^of—service,-will-bedis- ,charged, by April 30th, while such enlisted men with 40 points as of the same data,'or with two’ years of ser­ vice, will be 'discharged by June 30th, 1946. Male officers (except regular Army, Volunteers, and Medical De­ partment officers) with 67 points as of {September 2nd, 1945, or 45 months of Sffvjpe, whl be discharged by June 30th. AH enlisted WACS with 24 months of service will also be tdis- ebarged by April 80th. ■ According’.to General Eisenhower, we had 8,300,000 men in the Army on VE Day last-May, and approximat­ ely 4400,000 on January 16th, a t the tipie hS ad^esaeg the Congress. How­ l e r , 6 gperu} p senh 9 W§r failed to mention—’fls w » p Inter brought out by Congressman Dworshak, Idaho—that oh November 30th, 1945 the War De­ partment had 834,869 civilian employ- ees .witihih the United States, and on -September 3 Qth, 1945 had an addition­ al 763,190 civilian employees serving .outside the Continental United States; * total, of 1,607,000 paid civilian em- tijoyges—whiph is net sipall army in Itself.

While .we meddle in the politics of old world nations that have lived in bloody war for generations we find an admin­ istration unable to cope with do­ mestic problems and yet waste time, effort and even our wealth around the world that has never known the benefits of the Ameri­ can way of life because war fqv the ages has been uppermost in the minds of the leaders, The picture at home is far from bright, all due to stubborn stupid-, ity of Democratic leaders that made promises a t home and a- broad that cannot be fulfilled now or in the future without surrend- - ering the nation’s honor. . The time calls for strong and courageous leadership, something non-existent a t the White. House at the present time. While the nation is in turmoil and the tem- perment of the .people aroused, moresQ than any time during the war, it is apparent that each community must bring forth its leader to guide a people stricken and weakened morally to a point that could lead to revolution. The writer of this editorial had ,the .opportunity of hearing what a Greene county G I experienced a few days ago. I Having been reared in a Democratic family he felt free to criticise what had been going on a t home and, what he had . experienced . in service. Talking to a Xenia Democrat leader he was warned,that he had better change his views if he ever -wanted-anythingp-even a-pension,” for the Democrats would control the nation for the next twenty- five years. He was asked to use his influence and back Truman ^and the CIO but* be cautious-and . sure to whom he talked. Resenting " the suggestion this young veteran told us. his story and who it was that had, asked-him to have a p a r t ., in a whispering campaign to back the President and the CIO. The leadersnip of which we re­ fer above has shown itself in Judge Fr^nk L. Johnson and City Manager Ackerman? Itwil} be this kind of leadership that will influence the President to act , in behalf of all the people, or turn .traitor in behalf of the union’ leaders. . It is a singular thing how close, mouthed most Democrats have become/ In contrast we find two former Republican county - offi­ cials making appeal to ' a Demo- cratic-Cotyimunistic administra­ tion in behalf of the public while Democrats and New Deal Repub­ licans sit by apparently speech-', less. There is every reason to believe Mr. Truman is not playingsquare with the people a t large and that behind'the curtain he sits with those from the CIO ranks, n Mr. Truman had. much of this trouble dumped in his lap. His choice-to carry on another man’s promises At home and abroad have left the nation in turmoil arid ec­ onomic recovery a matter for the future. There is also every rea­ son to believe the whispering campaign is conducted through all branches of the government for one farmer recently told us how two farmers on the govern- •ment pay -rpll had tried to Con­ vert him to the idea of farm sub­ sidy and other New Deal farm ac­ tivities. The Cincinnati Enquirer is the only Democratic paper that has taken up the cause of Mr. John Q. Citizen and has been condemn­ ed by the CIO for so doing, If for no other leason it might- be well that the public suffer the in­ convenience of no water, no light, and a lot of other things to get the public back to the original way o f American Ufa and away from the Rooseveltian-Communis- tic New Deal that lias left all to reap the whirl-wind, Greene countiona and '^especially Xenians <have ;become worried over the proposed strike Jan;«30;o£ the em­ ployees of The Dayton’PowenA Light Co. that bolong 'to'the:CIO.
