Coin Chases Curmudgeon
But I ekes Palm Not Itchy
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. — (JP) —
Even in retirement, a curmudgeon
is a busy, busy fellow.
Drop in at 650-651 at the Statler
hotel anytime for proof. That’s
where Harold L. Ickes, who resign
ad as secretary of the Interior last
week, has his new office.
Offhand, it looks like any fashion
able hotel suite.
There is the bedroom, with its
;win beds (one unmade), dressing
;able, radio and extra chair. Theft
:here's the adjoining sitting room,
ts door tightly closed.
Here the resemblance tc an or
linary hotel suite ends.
Racing frantically about the
room was Miss Ellen Downes, long
;ime Ickes’ secretary.
“Oh, hello. I’m very cross to
iay,’’ was the greeting from Miss
Downes, who looked very cross.
After a moment she relaxed long
enough to explain what the trouble
was. Seems people won’t let Ickes
alone. They keep trying to shower
him with money.
“All sorts of offers,” sighed Miss
Downes. “Writing! radio, columns,
memoirs, everything.”
Evidently the self-styled curmud
geon expects to snap one of the
dangling baits soon. For Miss
Downes called the present setup
"temporary.”
This line of conversation was
stopped by a knock at the door. A
well tailored gentleman stepped in,
introduced himself, and said: "Mr
Ickes is expecting me.”
You could almost hear his check
books rustle as he walked over to
await his turn.
They’re after Harold, all right.

Six Million By June
WASHINGTON, Feb, 20— UP) —
The Labor department launched
an attempt Wednesday to beat back
a rising tide of unemployment it
expects to leave 3,000,000 jobless
by June 30.
The United States Employment
service will attack the problem
by asking employers to list all
job vacancies with USES.
Latest "ensus bureau figures
place present unemployment at
about 3,000,000.
USES Director Hobert C. Good
win estimated yesterday that of
8,000,000 discharged members of
the armed services, 6,000,000 looked
for work and 3,300,000 registered
with USES. >
He added many others were
expected to register, because 4,
000,000 more veterans will be back
in the United States before the
end of June.
Jop openings already listed with
USES, Goodwin said, are not ade
quate to meet this flood of appli
cants.

Hinkle Believes Employer
Should Alter USES View
Harold M. Hinkle, manager of the
Wilmington USES thinks its about
time for business men to discard
their pre-war and war-time im
pressions of the Employment Ser
vice.
Interviewed at his 26 N. Second
street office yesterday, Hinkle out
lined the facilities at the command
of the Employment Service. He
explained that the efficient ma
chinery of the organization coupled
with the standard of the job ap
plicants who are filed with USES
should be brought home to firms
whose notions of that agency were
conceived during the depression
and during the period when the
War Manpower Commission had
first refusal on labor.
Today, there are five men for
every job, Hinkle said. The great
portion of these job-seekers are
veterans or former defense work
ers. The skills mastered by these
men, in the Service or in war
plants, are now available to peace
time business. Never in the his
tory of this country has there been
so many skilled and semi-skilled
--- - '-“V- Uiai
ket
Business doesn't have to depend
on Armed Forces and Man Power
rejections any longer. The USES
has a pool of workers from which
employers in almost any line can
fill their staff requirements. Fur
thermore the USES has developed
methods which assure correct per
sonnel placement, according to
Hinkle.
Dictionaries of Occupational ti
tles have been compiled, interview
aids, questionnaires, oral and writ
ten aptitude tests devised, to im
plement screening of applicants.
Employers may request that
prospective employees be subject
ed to the expert examination of
USES interviewers before being
sent to apply for a position.
In the last 60 days, says Mr.
Hinkle, USES has been filling or
ders with increasing success, and
has a growing clientele of satisfied
employers.
