Multiplex Messages
Speed Navy Service
How the capacity of the Navy’s
communication channels to Guam,
Saipan, Okinawa and other points
in the Pacific was increased by
the application of Western Union
multiplex systems on Naval Radio
circuits was revealed today by
Mrs. E. H. Sherrill, local manager
of the telegraph company.
The multiplex system, used for
| many years by Western Union on
both’ its landlines and high speed
ocean cables, permits the sending
of four messages simultaneously in
each direction on each circuit so
equipped.
Anticipating the needs for press
service from the Pacific theatres,
the navy recently assigned on ex
clusive radio channel from Guam
to San Francisco for press service,
and, by equipping both ends with
i the western union multiplex, was
! able to provide four automatic
: printing telegraph channels to
! handle the load.
| Because of the greater capacity
thus made available, battle stories
i now can be relayed from the
beachheads directly into the press
j association offices in the United
States. Each task force, such as
! those which operated at Leyte, Sai
pan and Okinawa, now has ships
with special radio equipment tc
transmit press traffic to Guam
I where it is relayed to San Fran
cisco via multiplex telegraph.

WASHINGTON—Rep. Butler B.
Hare, veteran Democratic member j
of the House from Saluda, S. C., i
has two sons in the Navy.
He knows the veterans of this |
war and their postwar problems, j
As a result he has come up with
and is urging on his colleagues
what some believe would certainly j
develop into an important phase
of finding work for returning vet
erans.
‘‘The thought so far.” says Rep. !
Hare, ‘‘has been that the problem
; will be to find employment in ex
jisting agencies (or businesses) for a
] considerable number, and then it j
i will be necessary for the govern
1 ment to inaugurate construction or !
| building programs of different j
: types in order to accommodate the I
remainder.
j "I really do not see much op
: portunity to place many returning
i veterans in existing establish- i
ments, occupations or industries. -
| Most of these activities, except ag
riculture. are now employing the
j maximum and there will be some
! war industries wholly discontinued,
and there will be the necessity of
finding reemployment for the peo
ple now there employed.
‘‘My thought is that instead of
the government creating jobs for
temporary employment, attention
should be given to the idea of as
sisting veterans to create their own
jobs—jobs that will become going
and permanent places of employ
ment,” Hare says.
In a canvass of his own district
Rep. Hare discovered what may be
surprising to some: that there was
hardly a community that couldn't
support from one to many busi
nesses that don't exist in those
communities now. The conclusions
weren't based on wishful thinking ,
of the communities either. Th°y |
were the opinions of men who have
been successful in those towns and
know what the residents want and
how well they will pay to get the
services they need.
As an example, Rep. Hare found
one town of between 2,500 and
3.000 population which reported
that it could support a bakery, a
laundry, a watchmaker, a furni
ture plant, a garment factory, and
a dressmaker's shop — none of
which it now has.
As is apparent, most of these
would employ more than one per
son and on a permanent basis,
i while the ‘‘made-work” plan of
i government projects can at best
be only a stop-gap for unemploy
ment unless federal construction,
with funds from the national
treasury, is perpetuated indefinite
ly.
* * * *
Using his own district as a fair
| cross-section, Rep. Hare believes
| that there are tens of thousands
of such business opportunities in
the country and that all that will
be necessary will be to advertise
them to discharged veterans.
Whether additional legislation
would be needed to make a sur
j vey of the whole country or whe
! ther it could be undertaken by
i some of the agencies already set
up hasn't been determined. Provi
Isioas are made, however, under the
i “Gi Bill of Rights” for obtaining
loans for setting up such enter
1 prises. About the only problem in
j volved is that of making national
! or state listings and advertising
ithe opportunities so that veterans
can locate them.

SCOUTEKSCLUB
HAS MEETING
A movement to interest parents
in the activity of their boys in
the Boy Scout organization to a
greater extent was started at a
meeting of the Scouters club at
the Cleveland Cloth Mill club
house last night.
President R. S. Jenkins, of the
Scouters club, pointed out that fa
thers and mothers are conspicu
ous by their absence at most meet
ings of the courts of honor. He
asked the Scouters present to do
what they can in stimulating the
interest of the older people in
their children’s work.
The club was the guest of Troop
eight of the Eastside and the two
women’s organizations in the com
munity, the Cleveland Cloth mill
and the Esther mill clubs. A de
lectable fried chicken dinner was
served.’
The invocation was pronounced
by the Rev. W. P. Biggerstaff, pas
tor of the Eastside Baptist church.
TRY TO PLACE
BI-METAL BASE
IN MONEY BILL
—
WASHINGTON, July 18 —UP)—
A determined senate minority
worked today to write Into the
Bretton Woods world monetary
plan restrictions on its scope and
a bi-metal base for the American
dollar abroad.
Senator Thomas (D-Okla) push- 1
ed amendments to create a new,
gold coin for use in the proposed
$9,100,000,000 world bank and to
authorize use of silver as part of
the U. S. subscription to both the
bank and an $8,800,000,000 curren
cy stabilization fund.
This country’s subscription
would be almost $6,000,000,000, or
approximately one - third of the
capital raised by the 44 member
nations.
Senator Murdock tD-Utah) told
the senate the treasury has a
greed, after conferences with the
White House, to issue currency a
gainst approximately 300,000,000
ounces of silver not now held as
currency security. He said issu
ance would start in a few months. |
