Stories of Brooklyn Men and Women in U. S. War Service Your Wartime Problems By RICHARD HART With Reporter Spends Day In Famous War Plant Jack Heintz Executives Use 'Roving Mikes' to Hear Grievances, Give Pep Talks 'Cleveland (U.R) A reporter was Invite dto spend a day at Jack Si Heintz, the Cleveland war plant whose name A contemporary history of Amer Legion Planning Bill of Rights Fete For Wednesday Many Vets of Present War Joining Christmas Parties Are Planned By ED FUCHS On Wednesday evening, Dec. 15, the American Legion will celebrate the ratification of the Bill of Rights at a buffet supper at Legion headquarters, 160 Pierrepont St. Past Commander Daniel F.

Rogers, chairman of the arrangements committee, announces that James E. McCabe, Americanism Commissioner of the Department of New York; Vincent D. Cronln, County Commander, and Judge Abner Sur-pless will be the principal speakers. It's a common story nowadays, and may be witnessed in any Legion post In Brooklyn; because, as John McGrath, chairman of the membership committee, says, the vets 6f Word War II who are being discharged are Joining the Legion by the scores, and never in the history of the organization has the work of the membership committee been Difference Between Dependents Often Requires Rulings Since the setting up of two parental dependents, and B-l" a great many people, who were denied allowances under the original Dependent' Allowance act may now secure them. The new amendments, effective since Nov.

1 last, make a distinction between those who are dependent on the service man for a substantial amount of support and those who look to the service man for. their chief source of support. In the early days of the administration of the act many dependents were turned down in the Class group because finance officers interpreted the ruling literally and required the men to prove that their parents or brothers and sisters were wholly dependent on them fo support, The Class group today, In accordance with the newamend-menti as they are being interpreted, are entitled to these allowance, even though there may be other means of support. In fact, the support once offered by the service man can be even less than 50 percent. TWO TYPES A Class dependent family gets $37 a month, regardless of the number of dependents.

If the service man can claim that he was the chief source of support of his parental family, the first parent gets $50 per month, two parents a total of $68 and there is an allowance of $11 for each brother or sister. This later classification ls known as a Class "B-l" dependency. Some of these questions as to whether the dependency is a Class or a Class "B-l" are hard to define. In these borderline cases the. full economic facts can be submitted to the disbursing officers for special rulings.

They will send the proper forms. For the army, all questions on allowances and allotments should be referred to the Office of Dependency Benefits, 213 Washington Newark, N. J. For the navy, the letters should be addressed to the Chief, Bureau of Naval Personnel Casualties and Allotment Section, Navy Department, Washington, D. C.

For the Coast Guard, address the Chief, Military Morale Division, U. 8. Coast Guard Headquarters, 13th and E. Washington, D. while for the Marines you address the Commandant, U.

S. Marine Corps, Washington, D. ASIDES TO READERS To Mrs. G. B.

P. If your husband did not apply for his initial allowance at camp within 15 days of his entry into service he has passed up this opportunity to send you this first one. Ask him to clear through his appllcaton for your addowance a soon as possble, as you will not get it unless he applies for it. If he refuses, however, you can make application for it. Get the forms at the Red Cross or at 'almost any military post or office.

Jack, the company president, already had been in his office four hours talking to night-shift workers. Jack, known to his "associates" as Bill, was sitting at a table beneath enormous, flag-draped portraits of himself and Ralph M. Heintz, vice president and founder of the concern. Both executives were speaking into a microphone which amplified their voices to any part the huge plant. "Roving mikes" were being passed among the associates and one after another spoke to report a minor grievance.

There were complaints like the need of a cuspidor, excess profanity in a particular department, a compliment to a foreman, girls on certain machines thought they were entitled to more pay. "May we have a ruling on that, was the usual question at the end of each report. Then Jack would explain at length that cuspidors would be made available Immediately, that wages were frozen, that horseplay was dangerous, that all associates should use they would speak in the presence of their children. One associate, a newcomer, wanted to know whether it would be wise to take time off from, work to attend educational courses in various institutions. His Word Is Final "I think a man who gets his education on the Job working in this plant will find that It far outclasses any school or college he could have attended," Jack advised.

But Jack was not always paternal or cajoling to the requests of his associates. Often he settled issues lirmly and finally. Such was the case of an associate who wanted to know If he were breaking a rule by not eating breakfast before reporting for work. "I'll tell the cockeyed world you're breaking a rule," Jack said. The meeting broke up at 8:45 a.m.

when the associates departed to get to their machines In preparation for the 7 a.m. shift. Jack sat down to a hasty breakfast of ham and eggs. But before the meeting dispersed Jack called for a volunteer quartet to sing "Jahco's victory song," the plant's alma mater. The president took the lead In the singing "One for all and all for one As the 7 a.m.

shift started a group of 100 foremen were called into Jack's office for a brief "pep talk" and then the plant's entire personnel were summoned via the public address system to listen. Hear a Recording The meetings are not scheduled because Jack believes they are "more spontaneous that way." One day, as an experiment, the day meeting at the plant heard a lecording of Jack's hour-and-35-minute address to the night shift. One associate commented: "Thank God we have found a way to save at least a part of Bill Jack's voice." In the recording Jack discussed with frankness the plant's production figures, orders on hand, profits and even his own salary plans. But the associates understood It was not Information to bei bandied about outside the plant. 'This is Sadie Jackson's birthday, and this ls for her," the public address system announces.

"Happy birthday, Sadie." tary of War stlmson, Mrs. Luce replied: "I'm not opposed to drafting women, but let's get these men into the service first. "You know what a Wac Is. She's nothing but a feminine 4-F. There's not a thing my 19 or 20-year-old daughter can do that the boy across the street with bad eyes can't do.

I'm for making use of the 4-F's first, and then If we need more women In the armed forced we can draft them later."

He said only 220 Negroes, les-than one-fifth of one percent of the Bedford Stuyves tant population, were convicted for felonies committed in the area. Deploring the section of the grand jury presentment which spoke of "mussing-up" tactics on alleged offenders, Judge Sobel dec.ared the solutions to the problems were slum clearance, lowest homes, paiks. playgrounds and churches.
