EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued Cram Pace One) which isn't to be wondered at. for the GI overlooks few bets and here was too good a chance to be missed. But even at that it was noticeable that the PRET TIER girls got the bulk of the kissing. Your American GI is a oerson of considerable dis crimination, ana even in mis great moment he didn't so far lose his balance as to kiss any homely ones if a good looker was within reach. But in general the news was received- with astounding re straint even with APATHY. It doesn t seem right. Everyone is talking about it, wondering why including some of the GIs themselves. Even they can't wholly understand their lack of hat-throwing impulses. , A BORED-LOOKING infantry- man, his chest covered with ribbons that bristle with battle stars, draped in a chair and read' ing the Stars and Stripes extra, oilers a possible reason.

That reminds you that news of the German surrender came here in dribs, printed but promptly denied. There were rumors and rumors days before the final and official news that the nazis had thrown in the sponge. From the beginning of these- rumors '' until the final cease fire orders plenty of men died. This time they're taking no cnances. THE first news came along early in the afternoon. ,- As already stated, there were few flickers of celebration. In Mont- parnasse, If anywhere, a cele bration would have been staeed Place Pigalle was no noisier, no rowdier, that night than any other night. (GIs call Place Pigalle Pig Alley.) It all seems quite out of char acter, bomeone (a signal corps lieutenant who has been through au tne European iignting) sug gests that maybe war has been going on so long that it has be come a way of life and we are oiuiied a little by the imminent prospect of its end and the necessity of adapting ourselves to peace as a way of life. Maybe so. Anyway, the an nouncement created no more than a ripple In Pans. AT first, prices here scare the 11 pants off you. Then you re- "Hiember that they are quoted in francs, worth two cents.

You take a look at a nice, new 1000-franc note and for a hrief moment you have that warm, glowing feeling of great wealth. Then you remember that it is worth $20 and your vision fades. There are a few one and two franc pieces made of aluminum. They're highly unsatisfactory, for tl)&y won't clink in the pocket.

CLAIMS OF JOBLESS HIT RECORD I WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 (B Unemployment compensation claims hit the highest mark in history last week 596,458 ini tial claims Chairman Arthur J. Altmeyer of the social security board told the senate finance committee today; That was more than 50 per cent higher than in any previous week since the war began, he testified, and about 11 times the number received in the various states for the week prior to Japan's surrender. Altmeyer told the committee he is "100 per cent in favor of the objectives" of the legislation it is considering to bring the paymenjs to jobless up to a na tional maximum of $25 a week for 26 weeks through additional federal grants. Altmeyer told the senators that unemployment compensa tion claims of all kinds, includ ing waiting period and compen sable claims, reached a total of 960,913 last week, or three times as high as the total for the week ending August 11. Reconversion Director John W. Snyder gave his endorsement to establishments of a nation al unemployment compensation standard. T E "The war isn't over yet," said Earl Reynolds, western division assistant manager for the United States chamber of commerce, in a talk to the Kiwanis club today. Reynolds, former Klamath chamber of commerce secretary, pointed out that large numbers of men will be held in the armed services for a long time and there will be many other war time conditions that will change slowly to peacetime status. . . He cautioned business men against joining in a demand for too deep a cut in taxes, pointing out that there is a huge national debt that must be paid and that it is better to pay high taxes in a period of high prices. He urged continuation of government bond purchases to ward off inflation. Reynolds pointed . to various factors which he said would tend to prevent an immediate unem ployment problem. He said he believes President Truman will favor a policy that permits pri vate enterprise to meet the em ployment problem if at all pos sible. Reynolds was introduced by Percy Murray.
