LETTERS FROM SOLDIERS Berlin, Germany September 23, 1945 ear Fred. Berlin is a long distance from Hometown, U. S. A., but this is the end trail leading eastward. Now the only question in the mind of every man here is, how long must we stay here. The 82nd. Air Borne Division is to be the Permanent Occupa tional Division in Berlin, but this is subject to immediate change. As a matter of fact there are t u rners that we may pull out very soon. This city really is “Kaput” Fire and Bombs, have completely des troyed the center of the city, and tave hit the sububs pretty hard in tome places. The water, gas, power and trans tortation system’s are now being estored as guickly as possible, but t will be many, many years before the city of Berlin will be the beau tiful city that it once was. I do not know just where all the people live. During the day time there are simply mobs of civilians in the streets and trains, but at night they disappear just like nice into a hole. The Black Market is a big heari iche around here. A pack of ciga rettes will sell for twenty dollars. Candy bars get five dollars. Food; name your own price. The Huss ions will pay four hundred dollars for a watch. Money is just like water around here, plenty of it everywhere. [ only know of one other boy who is now in Berlin, Bill Friday. He is in Company “A” of this re giment. We often get together for i bull session about the old home town, ft is pretty nice to have someone from home living just a cross the street. Guess I had better sign off for tow. Oh Yes, the paper's are not irriving so well. Have received only four since leaving the States. We really do miss that home town pnper. Sincerely, Thomas W.

That is one of the most widely discussed topics in Wash-1 ington today - and if anyone had the right answer it would undoub-1 ti dly have a major effect on plans which are in the making for at-! tempting to establish permanent i ! eace on the labor front. We have heard dozens of guesses but the most reasonable one is that Mr. Lewis simply decided it would do labor more harm than good if homes were cold and factories were idle this winter. Mr. Lewis says that he called off the strike “in the public interest”, which in dicates, that he is anxious to get back in the public’s good graces after having having alienated prac tically the whole American public during the war. If some other union leaders follow Mr. Lewis’ example, which appears unlikely at this time, it i might cool off the growing desire I of Congressmen to enact legisla-: lion which would curb union acti- j vities. Senator Ball of Minnesota is pushing for action on his bill which would make collective bar gaining a two-sided affair, would require unions to live up to con tracts and would set up machinery | for the peacetime settlement of | labor-jnanagement disputes. I “If a program of peaceful settle ment of disputes among nations is sound/’ the Senator said, “well then a program for peaceful settle ment of disputes between manage ment and labor, witli appropriate sanctions on the few outlaws, is just as sound. And the need is just as urgent. Unless some such pro gram is worked out, we are head ed for industrial chaos.” In the House the Republicans are lining up behind a program outlined by Representative A rends of Illinois, the Republican whip. His program, which he des cribes as one with “bulldog teeth in it”, also prihibits contract break ing by unions, government seizure of plants while employees and em ployers discuss differences which might resuult in strikes, and the denial of unemployment compen sation to all persons on strike. While the tax discussion was going on interesting figures were released showing the amount ot income tax now being paid by all income groups. They showed that a married man with two depend ents pays a $45 tax if he earns -2,000, a $755 tax if he earns $5, 000, a $2,245 tax if he earns $10, 000, a $68,565 tax if he earns $100,000 and if his income is $1, 000,000 he pays all but $100,000 of it in tax.
