    Ross Hall Men Find Change
Often; Acquaintances Short
By HERB O’CONNELL
About the time officers of the
Military Department get settled
and are beginning to like and un-
ierstand their positions, Uncle Sam
politely asks them to pack their
bags and serve in some other place
in a different manner.
This was .the case of seven of
the officers that were in the mili
tary staff in Ross Hall last year.
This doesn’t leave the corps with
out able military instruction, for
they have been replaced. Replace
ments come from all sections of
the United States and are usually
veterans of many years of military
service.
Two of these seven new offi
cers, Lt. Col. Leslie S. Moore, and
Maj. Robert J. Carpenter, are
former studentsi of A&M. Colonel
Moore, also attended Baylor and
Tarleton State College. He re
ceived degrees in both agricul
ture and chemical engineering.
lie is a native of Commanche
and was formerly registrar and
dean of students at Tarleton State
College. During the war, Colonel
Moore served as an office)- in the
personnel section, Allied Force
Headquarters in Italy.
Major Carpenter attended A&M
three years before going to the
United States Military Academy
where he graduated in 1942. A na
tive of Farmersville, he took care
of things in the East while his
home-town buddy, Audio Murphy
was mopping up in Europe during
the late war. A holder of a BS
degree, Major Carpenter is teach-

at A&M.
In commenting on the military
program here, Major Carpenter
said that “of all the reports he
had heard on officers turned
out by A&M, he had never heard
an unfavorable one.” He indicated
that the training program at
A&M has increased in size, scope,
and purpose since the days when
he was a student here.
Major William A. Burrus, a grad
uate of the Virginia Military Insti
tute denies that he requested
emergency leave after the disas-
terous drubbing his alma mater
suffered at the hands of the A&M
Cadets, is one of the few Reserve
Officers stationed at A&M.
During World War II, he served
as director of training at the Pro
vost Marshall Generals School.
After the war, he accepted the
position of general superintendent
of the Gary Steel Products Corp.
in Norfolk, Va. Major Burrus calls
Ruther Glen, Va. his home and has
a BS degree in civil engineering
from VMI. He is with the Corps of
Engineers.
A very cooperative and efficient
member of the Ross Hall staff is
Major Jordan J. Wilderman, the
new Public Information Officer. He
hails from Duquesne, Pa.; and is a
1940 graduate of the United States
Military Academy.
He was Battalion Executive of
the 364 Field Artillery Battalion
serving under the command of the
76th Infantry Division in. World
War II. Prior to assignment here
he was with the Advanced Armor
ed School at Fort Knox.
Other replacements include Lt.
Cols. Edward F. Sauer, Cecil M.
MacGregor, and Maj. Stanhope H.

Chicago, Nov. 22—(TP)—The CIO
found itself much more at odds
today with the government’s home-
front mobilization program than
with its foreign policy.
A resolution on domestic eco
nomic policy submitted to the na
tional CIO convention contained a
list of what the organization said
should not be included in such pol
icy. Such things as:
1. Unequal sacrifices for wage
earners compared with high income
groups.
2. Across-the-board curtailment
of civilian production without re
gard to military or civilian needs.
3. Credit restrictions which im
pose “inequitable burdens” on low-
income groups.
4. Loopholes which permit “cer
tain favored commercial interests”
to escape regulation.
Resolution
The resolution, though not yet
acted upon, was certain of adop
tion.
It declared:
“Only a well-planned, coordinat
ed program will assure full devel
opment of the nation’s productive
resources and their maximum utili
zation in meeting the nation’s mili
tary and essential civilan require
ments.”
The resolution charged that an
“orgy of profiteering” by corpora
tions has increased the need of
price controls. It said the defense;
production act should be amended
to enable the government to “deal
effectively” with the problem of in
flation. As.it is, it said, it would
he possible to “freeze wage and sal
ary workers in a disadvantaged po
sition.”
The convention yesterday adopt
ed a resolution which, by and large,
approved America’s foreign policy.
One complaint on both the for
eign and domestic fronts was that
labor has not been given enough
voice at the policy-making level.
Answer Propaganda
The foreign policy declaration re
affirmed the CIO’s stand that only
a “guns and butter” program will
stem the tide of Communism
throughout the world.
“We must answer the propagan
da of the cominform not by pious
slogans about democracy’s virtues,
but by a bold program of social
and economic action,” it said.
Such a program, it added, re-

quires mobilization of all resources
“to forge both the weapons of war
to stop Communist aggression on
the military front and the tools of
peace to fight poverty, hunger and
injustice on the economic and social
fronts.”
The resolution had a couple other
foreign policy complaints besides
the one about a lack of “labor
minded citizens’ at top levels.
It said recent changes in favor
of Franco Spain and Peron Argen
tina would, in the long run, cause
a setback for democracies. It also
said the European recovery pro
gram should be amended to help
bring about higher living standards
in France, Italy and Western Ger
many.
The CIO mobilization resolution
was much in line with proposals
made before the convention yester
day by former Secretary of the
Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr.
He suggested a rollback of prices
to pre-Korean war levels, but no
wage controls, and higher taxes,
particularly on corporation profits
and incomes in the upper brackets.
