When Johnny Comes Home

Two days after the President broadcast the first hint of the soldiers'-bonus-to-be, he made public the detailed proposal for postwar demobilization prepared by the now defunct National Resources Planning Board.

Six Points. The program was notable for its clarity. Contained in 96 recommendations were six specific points bearing on demobilized men and women:

> Three months' furlough at base pay, not to exceed $100 a month, plus family allowances.

> Beyond that time, if necessary, unemployment insurance for 26 weeks for those who register with the U.S. Employment Service.

> Special aid and counsel regarding readjustment and rehabilitation.

> Special provision, including tuition and allowances, for those who wish to pick up the threads of their education or follow some special course of training.

> Veterans' credit for old-age and survivor's insurance, on the basis of service in the armed forces.

> Opportunities for agricultural employment and settlement, to be provided for a limited number of qualified service men.
