Robert W. Youn. former editor
of the "Homeward Herald an
army mimeographed newspaper
published on Leyte, wore his for
mer TS rank aain today but wai
banned from further editorial
work.
Young, who once edited a Cali
fornia weekly, wrote a story re
cently saytnc that seven ships
were beinf refitted at Leyte to
carry Japanese prisoners, of war
- home, while only one ship was
being refitted to return American
soldiers to the stateu Ills com
manding officer, forbade publica
tion on the ground the story
would undermine morale and in
cite disturbances among men
waiting transportation home.
The story appeared, not in the
"Homeward Herald," but on pa
per mimeographed in the ma
chine used for the newspaper.
Young said a copy of the story
had been taken from his desk and
apparently -was printed by some-
, He was reduced to private and
put on a garbage detail. The in
. rident became public and Lt. Gen.
W. D. Styer, commanding army
forces in the western Pacific, or
dered an Investigation. The gen
eral stated the "resulting action"
in lowering Young's rating was
"not in my opinion an appropriate
one under the circumstances" and
restored the soldier to his former
rating.
However, Styer said, failure to
control the disputed story merited
some disciplinary action, and he
directed Young be banned from
- further - duty In the information
and education section in the west
ern Pacific, which bars the writer
from further editorial duty in this
theatre.

The truth about "take-home"
The demand of UAW-CIO leaders for r wage
Increase co "maintain wartime; take-home"
assumes that the wartime work week averaged
48 hours. ' .
That is not true. In General Motors workers
areragod 4$j6 hours 'work a week. For industry
as a wholo the average was s littU Uss.
The demand of UAW-CIO leaders also assumes
that the postwar work week will be 40 hours.
Central Motors expects to work 43 to AS hours
lor a considerable period of time in order to pro
duct enough goods to relieve shortages created
during the war. Employes will he paid at the
rate of time-and-a-half for hours worked over 40.
General Motors answered the UAV7 demand
for a i0 jump in present rates with the offer
of a wage increase that! would have averaged
13H cents an hour. This would hare made the
average wage increase since January 194 1 at
least equal to the increase in die cost of living.
A GM worker who earned $56.93 for a 43.6-hour
week during the war would have received $6344,
under the GM postwar offer, for working the
sam number of hours.
This offer, aimed to increase wartime take-home
""pay by at least 10, was rejected by UAW
leaders. '
