CHANDLER FLAYS
MANPOWER BILL
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.— IIP) —
Senator Chandler (D-KY) today
assailed the manpower bill ap
proved by the Military Affairs
committee as “a monstrosity”
which ought to be recommited by
the Senate.
Before the measure is called up
in the Senate Monday, the Ken
truckian plans to check other
members to see if he can obtain
sufficient strength to send it back
to the committee. The legislation
gives statutory backing, with pen
alties, to present voluntary man
power rules governing employers,
in contrast to a work-or-jail bill
for employes passed by the House.
Meanwhile the committee issued
its formal report on the bill, de
claring officially for the first time
that the jail-and-fine penalties pro
vided for willful violation of em
ployment ceilings and hiring re
strictions issued by the War Man
power commission apply to em
ployers only.
Several members of the commit
tee previously had contended that
employes too could be caught in
t-e pinch of a one year jail term
cr the maximum $10,000 fine pro
vided.
There has been no disagreement

SINGAPORE IS HIT
FROM INDIA BASES
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—(UP)—
The largest task force of Super
fortresses ever to take off from
India bases blasted the dock area
of Singapore today with “good re
sults” and left black columns of
smoke billowing 20,000 feet over
the port, a 20th Air,Force communi
que announced.
Only weak fighter opposition was
encountered during the raid. One
of the huge bombers was lost, the
communique said. Three enemy
aircraft were damaged.
Singapore is the “main clearing
center for enemy war supplies
and equipment between the Japa
nese homeland and its troops in
occupied territories,” the com
munique said. Extensive railroad
facilities funnel into the dock area.
It was the fourth time that B-29s
have hit the city.
Japanese broadcasts had admit
ted earlier that 130 superfortresses
had caused “some damage” to
harbor facilities and part of Singa
pore proper in a raid lasting more
than an hour.
WATKINS TO END
STAY HERE TODAY
William F. Watkins, organist of
the First Presbyterian church, will
play here for the last time today
before leaving for Washington, it.
was announced last night by Dr.
William Crowe, Jr., pastor.
For the service at 11:15 a m.,
Watkins will play on the church’s
Sprunt Memorial organ, beginning
at 11 a. m. with “A Gothic Pre
lude,” by Eric De Lamarter. Dur
ing the service he will accompany
Contralto Lynn DuRant, who wiil
sing “O Rest in the Lord,” fiom
“Elijah,” by Mendelssohn. He will
also accompany the choir in pre
senting the anthem, “In Heaven
Above,” by Christiansen. The Min
ister will speak on “The Good
Fight,” basing his sermon on the
sixth chapter of First Timothy, it
was learned.
The evening service will be held
in the Kenan Memorial Chapel at
8 p. m. The theme of the brief
sermon will be “Christ Is The
Answer.”
Watkins has served the church as
r---—
organist for the past 18 months, it
was said, and has been active in
the musical life of the city.
A pupil of Virgil Fox at the Pea
body Conservatory in Baltimore,;
Md.,. he holds the professional de
gree of “Associate in the American
Guild of Organists.” During the
period of Watkins’ service here,
the organ music has been one of
the outstanding features of the
church’s ministry, according to Dr.
Crowe. The two recitals Watkins
has given, embracing many of the
most difficult compositions of
organ music, have been brilliantly
executed and a source of pride to
the church, Dr. Crowe said.
