REPORT REVEALS GERMAN DISCONTENT
EISENHOWER MESSAGE TO PRESIDENT MADE PUBLIC
In the Sept. report
to the President, made
public in Frankfurt, Gen. Eisenhower warned President Truman that
discontent among German
men is rising, and in
widespread unemployment
there is an acute danger of organized resistance to American Occupation forces. Eisenhower said there were
sporadic outbreaks already. "Demobilization of Germans,"
said
the General, "were
showing resentment at fraternization
by occupation troops with wives and
sweethearts."
German criticism of
military government
policies is growing
bolder and left-wing extremists are pressing
for sterner
denazification and
punishment of Nazis.
SENATE COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDS REVISION
OF G.I. BILL
Senate subcommittee recommended revision of G.I.
Bill of Rights to make it easier for veterans to go
to school at government
expense or get loans in buying homes, farms or businesses. Committee recommended extension until
10 years after wartime
in which vets may apply
for government loans. Present law allows only
5 years. An
authorization for loans would be
based on reasonable
value of property instead of reasonable normal values.
PENNANT'S DAILY PROGRESS
Good news! The unexpected fine weather will probably cut our
trip so that we will hit Seattle on the 6th of November. 300 miles north of us is the Aleutian chain of islands, the closest we will
come to land 'til we hit the West Coast. In this chain are Kiska,
Attu, and Adak, which mark the farthest advance eastward by the
Nips, the bastards. Bounce with the bouncing "X."

SLIGHTED MEN
Due to a bad amplifier, Co. A and Co. B
aboard the Pennant have been left in the
dark on most news announcements. In some
instances, it is known that men in
those respective companies have felt
slighted because they haven't heard their
names called for details.
WORLD NEWS IN BRIEF
WASHINGTON:
President Truman
said he has given no thought to a possible campaign for a second term. Asked
at a news conference whether
he will run again, Mr. Truman replied
he did not have to
testify against himself this at this time.
* * *
NEW
YORK:
Battling aircraft carrier Enterprise left here after
two weeks of public admiration in
which half a million persons visited her decks. The carrier started
for Boston, where she will be re-equipped and sent to Europe to
pick up her first load of returning war vets.
* * *
Reaction from industry and labor
leaders to President Truman's
program for moderate increases in
wages without raising prices was
mixed, but spokesmen for both
groups expressed disappointment
because the President was not more
specific as to how much he thought
wages could be boosted.
* * *
President Truman announced the
German government will be transferred from military to civilian hands next 1st June. The President
said he approved of such recommendation from Gen. Eisenhower carried
out thru agreement with three
other powers occupying Germany.
Gen. Eisenhower recommended military occupation be kept as long as
necessary, but military government
be turned over to civilians.
* * *
ST. LOUIS: Pitcher Denny Galehouse,
member of the pennant-winning St. Louis Browns of 1944, has
been discharged from the Navy, the
Browns' office said Wednesday.
* * *
WEATHER: Look for it to be rough for
the next couple days. As it
stands today, we're between two
storms, which makes the situation
very unpretty. But, don't get disheartened - we're almost there - almost.
So, chins up, there'll
always be a Pennant. (Right now,
the old tug is rockin' so much I might have to retract this statement.)
