John Willig stars and stripes staff writer probably no two Post War questions hold More interest for the Soldier overseas than these what kind of employment Security can i expect when i return Home and How Long after the War s end will i remain overseas the answer to the first is already shaping up and that answer to a Large degree will decide the second. Both Congress and organized labor needing Only to look Back to the labor chaos which followed the last War already have begun pushing plans for the demobilization of the men after Victory and conversion of War industries to civilian production a two problems which will claim the major share of the Domestic spotlight when the peace comes. At the moment two Bills dealing with returning servicemen Are floating around in Congress. Unemployment allowances one a new postwar social Security Bill provides unemployment allowances for soldiers when their military service is finished intended to Cushion the lag Between army discharge and reemployment in private Industry. The allowances would take the form of unemployment benefits ranging from 12 voters per week according to the number of dependents of the Serviceman. These benefits would be paid from six months to a year if necessary. A second Bill would pay every member of the armed forces a Bonus the amount determined by the number of years of service of the individual since Pearl Harbor. The Money at the rate of too dollars for each year would be placed in a special fund by the Treasury for payment after the War. In the Case of non coms and Petty naval officers the government would deduct five percent each month from their monthly base pay for Deposit to their credit in the fund at interest. Furloughs with pay another proposal that has been popping up and is backed chiefly by the american legion is one providing a system of furloughs with pay Tor returning servicemen until such time As they have found jobs within a reasonable time limit of course. On the Job Angle labor unions and National planning agencies have teamed up to study ways of balancing the number of jobs available after the War with the number of men to fill them one of the toughest postwar problems. They will determine and recommend which industries can first be returned to consumer production they will attempt to answer the question of what to do with government owned plants How War Boom towns can be prevented from collapsing like a stuck balloon and finally the demobilization procedure for the soldiers. Theres been a lot of thought lavished on the Post War period by thought lavishes in the highest positions but no problem has received As much attention As the one of How the world is going to spend the first Day of the postwar period the Day of surrender. Sgt there s been a lot of civilian speculation on this question but the army so far has been too Busy to go into it. Its going to Start slowly.
