In Obtaining Workers

I By MIRIAM OTTENBERG.
I Seven District industries wen
included today on the Washing
ton area War Manpower Com
Inission’s first list of “locallj
leeded activities,” to be giver
pecial hiring consideration 11
hey agree to eliminate ‘‘luxury
ervices” not used by wai
rorkers.
i-The list covers hotels, restaurants
cafeterias and other eating units
A0art;nent and office building main
tenance and operation, laundries
Ary cleaners and linen supply
fcouses.
• Area Director Ramy B. Deschner
Amphasized, however, that the list
£oes not carry with it eligibility for
ccupational deferment under the
draft for men engaged in “locally
heeded” activities and must not
conflict with the status of occupa
tions defined as “non-deferrable.”
] “Critical occupations” in the “lo
4aUy needed” activities, however,
pdll be defined by the employment
stabilization program here and tem
porary draft deferments may be
xecommended for men holding these
Aritical jobs.
Essential Activities.
' When the employment stabiliza
tion program goes into effect here,
these industries will be given the
same status as the essential activi
ties previously announced by the
War Manpower Commission na
tionally.
Under the stabilization plan which
te yet to be announced, these activi
ties would probably get first call for
workers and special efforts would be
made to cut down labor turnover.
In announcing the list. Area Di
rector Ram.v B. Deschner made it
clear that the individual establish
ments included in this list must have
agreed that they are:
, 1. Making maximum utilization of
their manpower as evidenced by the
adoption of a 48-hour week and
appropriate hiring specifications and
2. Suspending all special “luxury
services” of the type not commonly
utilized by war workers:
First Step Locally.
Announcement of the “locally
needed” activities list is the Wash
ington area's first step toward fit
ting the national WMC program
into the local picture. The local
Labor-Management Committee, an
nounced several weeks ago, has been
struggling with the problem of de
veloping a manpower program that
would fit, Washington's character
as a service city, it was explained
yesterday that, the main difficulty
has been that the national pro
gram applies mainly in industrial
cities and Washington, outside the
Government, is largely a service
city.
Local manpower officials had ex
pressed hope when they first men
tioned the possibility of "locally
needed” activities that some ar
rangements could be made to pre
vent the flow of draft eligibles
out of the service activities because
they were in non-deferrable jobs.
Mr. Deschner s statement, how
ever. makes it clear that national
WMC would not acceed to an ar
rangement making the non-defer
rnble list inoperative here.
A situation is therefore created
where the local WMC is making
special hiring arrangements to get
employes in activities necessary
here while nationally, the non
deferrable list is pushing them out.
Employes in the activities listed as
“locally needed,” who now have to
be registered with the local United
States Employment Service for
transfer to other jobs before May X
or face immediate draft induction,
include bartenders, bellboys, bus
boys, charmen and cleaners, dish
washers. elevator operators, doormen
and starters, lavatory attendants,
porters and waiters.
In a personal message to workers
In the locally needed activities. Mr.
Deschner stated that the establish
ments they represent, as well as the
public “which they have served so
splendidly, can well be proud of
their performance,” He added that
their service is a highly important
one to the community and “through
the continuance of their fine per
formance they will be making a real
contribution to the war effort.”

Gen. Montgomery spurred his men

President to Be Host Tonight
To 54 Congress 'Sophomores',
B» the. Associated Press.
I Now that he's met the freshmen
j of the Seventy-eighth Congress,
j President Roosevelt wants to see'the
sophomores.
So tonight, he and his top-rank
ing Army and naval chiefs will play
hast to 54 second-year members of
I Congress at an informal get-together
i at the White House.
A similar “at home" party was
staged for the 117 freshmen legis
lators a month ago. It was so suc
cessful that members who came in
with the Seventy-seventh Congress
in January, 1941, suggested to their
leaders that they should get the
same sort of recognition.
The presidential invitations to
show up at 8:30 p.m. in business
suits so he could “see and talk”
with those whom he had not had an
opportunity to meet personally,
went out to 29 Democrats and 25
Republicans.
Invited were second-term House
members and those who entered the
Senate for the first time in January,
1941, regardless of whether they had
served earlier in the House, In
the latter category were Senators
Brewster, Republican, of Maine;
Murdock, Democrat, of Utah, and
Wallgren, Democrat, of Washington.
There were nine other Senators and
42 Representatives.
House members now to the Sev
enty-seventh Congress, but who had
been in Congress before and missed
the Seventy-sixth were not included.
Democratic and Republican leaders
also were invited to the party, which
was expected to feature a summary
of the war situation by Gen. George
C. Marshall, Army chief of staff;
Admiral Ernest J. king, commander
in chief of the fleet, and Gen. Henry
H. Arnold, chief of the Army Air
Forces.
“detaching movements on the
southern front are being con
tinued according to plan.
(“Axis fighting formations
again and again took up the
fight and were detached from the
enemy, which was far superior in
number, only after hard and vio
lent battle ” The communique
said "several break-throughs’’
were closed by German and
Italian troops.
<The capture of nearly 12.000
prisoners in the last few days
by British and American forces,
added to 8,000 captured in the
Mareth Line battle, possibly had
reduced Rommel's army, esti
mated at 80,000, by about a
fourth. The largest Axis forces
were believed to be in the north,
however.)
As Gen. Patton's forces along with
: British and French troops pinched
in on Rommel’s exposed inland
flank, they were reported by the
British radio to be within “little
more than 20 miles" of a second
junction with the 8th Army.
Crippled Children Sell
$ 1,405.60 in War ponds
The crippled children at Gallinger
Hospital have sold enough War
bonds and stamps to pay for a jeep
and are well on their way to enable
Uncle Sam to buy a second one.
The children started to sell bonds
and stamps December 7, 1942, the
anniversary of Pearl Harbor. They
sold about $200 worth. Then on
March 1 the Government asked each
group of school children to sell $900
worth to buy a jeep. Pour crippled
children at Gallinger have sold
$1,405.60 since.
Yesterday afternoon the Army
sent a jeep to the hospital to show
the children what they had done.
Donald Behe, 15: Dorothy Elliott.
15. and Prances Demma. 14, were
taken out on the lawn to see it.
Lillian Connors. 11. the fourth sales
man, had been discharged after long
treatment and had gone home.
Throughout the city the schools
have sold $715,000 in stamps and
bonds, enough to |puy 103 jeepe. Paul
Junior High School students, who
have sold $67,000 worth, consider
themselves “out of the jeep class.”
They have raised their goal to
6100,000 to buy a bomber.

fought our way up.
When the ship sank oil spread in
all directions. It looked like a wall
of smoke and flames, not very high,
but it kept coming at you. I grabbed
a board, and clinging to it were Lt.

Long Island, and Ronald E. Thron

holding on to the board.

The Are seemed to be catching up
with us. I kept wondering how the
other men were making out, for it
didn't seem that many could get out
j of that blazing oil. My hands and
j shoulders got burned, and Thron's
shirt caught Are. I had taken my
shirt off. The Aames were only 10
or 12 feet away.
It must have been an hour before
the Aames started to recede and we
could stop swimming. We saw one
liferaft but it was ablaze, so we
hunted around and found another
raft and climbed in it and picked
up several men. Two of them were
colored boys who had no life-jackets
or anything.
Lt. Kerr had no lifeiacket so I
gave him mine. He helped a lot of
the men. Thron was in a pretty bad
Ax, and he died before we were res
cued. We brought his body back.
About six hours after we were at
tacked a blimp came over and cir
cled around. It dropped a rubber
liferaft to us and must have called
for a surface ship, for we were res
cued about four hours later.
We didn't see the submarine. I
hope next time we do the shooting.

Rival Senate Groups
May Take Turns in
Visiting African Front
Controversy on Junket
Strikes Humorous Note
In Capitol Comment
By the Associated Press. ,t.
Prospects that the Senate True
man and Military Affairs Commit
tees might take turns visiting the
North African battle front were
raised today, prompting Representa
tive Davis, Democrat, of Tennessee,
to remark that such a climax to the
controversy “might relieve traffic
congestion on the ocean lanes.”
Mr. Davis, a member of the House
Military Affairs Committee, which
has had a battlefront investigation
of its own under consideration for
months, said senatorial plans were
so ambitious' “there won’t be room
enough for members of our commit
tee in North Africa until our fighting
men capture a little more territory.”
Jurisdictional Question Raised.
Each Senate committee contends
it should do any investigating of
battlefronts that ought to be done.
The Truman group went beyond the
argument stage by proceeding to
take inoculations usually given
those who go overseas. Today they
moved on to New York to inspect
port facilities and one of them, who
refused to be quoted, said reports
had been received that installations
for unloading shells were inadequate,
both here and abroad.
"We want to find out through in
spections here and across whether
unloading facilities can be improved
and whether materials are being
shipped without regard to the abil
ity of the receiving end to handle
them properly," he said.
Meanwhile, both the Truman
Committee and the Military Affairs
, Subcommittee, headed by Senator
I Chandler, Democrat, of Kentucky,
j chose to ignore the jocular sugges
| tion of James P. Byrnes, economic
stabilization director, who proposed
at President Roosevelt's press con
| ference yesterday that a "second
front” be opened to accommodate
I the many Senators who want to
visit battlefronts.
Chandler “Not Seeking Trip.”
Chairman Reynolds of the full
Senate Military AfTalrs Committee
said he would send the Chandler
: subcommittee to the war zones
j "when we are convinced we can
make a contribution to the war ef
i fort by so doing.”
“I’m not seeking this trip,” Sen
ator Chandler told reporters. “The
committee hasp't even suggested to
the War Department that we should
go.
“However, we made it clear that
if anything can be contributed to
: the war effort by a Senate investi
gation, the Military Affairs Commit
tee should make it. We are the only
committee with jurisdiction over the
fighting program.
"We agreed to a joint committee,
including two members of each
group and one Senator who was a
member of both, but they (the Tru
man Committee i turned it down.
“I think there would be serious
repercussions in the Military Com
mittee if the Truman Committee
! goes.”

Landon 'Impressed' !
By President's Plan
For Postwar World
Leaving White House,
He Says Blueprint Has
'Considkrable Merit'
Leaving the White House after a
30-minute call on President Roose
i velt today, Alf M. Landon, Republi
can presidential nominee in 1936.
said he had been impressed by the
plan the President outlined to him
for a postwar world in which under
privileged races would have their
living standards improved and pur
chasing power raised, "Instead of
j being milked, as has been the habit
in the past in most of the colonial
empire systems.”
Mr. Landon, who said recently in
I a speech “some sort of international
role is inevitable for the United
States,” told newsmen that he of
I fered no ideas, but contented him
self with listening to the President,
i with whom he said he agrees on
the importance of improving the lot
of poorer races, both physically and
financially.
Describes Visit as “Cordial.”
Mr. Landon went into no details,
but said the President's idea “ap
Dealed to me as having considerable
merit.”
Trie former Kansas Governor de
' scribed his visit with the President
as “cordial and nice," adding that
he “was very happy, indeed, to see
him looking so well.”
He said they talked about their
families and that the President told
him things about his African trip
that had not been published.
Mr. Landon was asked if politics
were discussed. He said he guessed
that what they had under considera
tion—referring to postwar plans—
was “more or less political.”
“When two politicians get together
they are just like baseball players,”
he said, laughfng.
Asks for Picture of New Hat.
As he was leaving, he told pho
tographers he would be glad to have
a print of the picture they were
taking, as his wife had been “after
him” to buy a new hat. He said he
was wearing “one that a fellow at
Council Bluffs” had given him when
i he spoke there on Lincoln's birthday,
and he wanted a picture of it.
Mr. Landon is leaving for New
York, where he will see Wendell
Willkie. Republican standard bearer

was asked whether he would be in
the 1944 presidential nomination
contest. He replied:
"Not in the slightest degree.”
In an interview last night he
elaborated on a recent speech in
which he expressed the opinion
that an International part will be
played by this country after the
war. The former Kansas Governor
urged the administration to proceed
cautiously in adopting any postwar
collaboration policies at this time
lest the Nation find itself fore
closed to any international bargain
ing when the war actually ends.
Wants Understanding First.
“The difficulty we are running into
in this postwar collaboration busi
ness is that we see some people want
ing us to go in and sign a collective
bond before we have a thorough 1
understanding of the conditions we
are going to underwrite,” he said.
This sort of agitation, 'he con
tinued. is apt to raise "delicate ques
tions that may interfere with the
war coalition."
“We shouldn't sign any bond,” Mr.
Landon continued, “before knowing,
for example, whether we are going
to underwrite the French and Dutch
Empires, a greater British democ
racy, and the partitioning of Poland
and the Baltic republics. If one
makes a deal now, he can't go back
and bargain after he has signed up.”
Mr. Landon said he leaned toward
the proposal of former President
Hoover, under which he said there
would be a temporary statement of
principles and peace machinery set
up now to be followed later by solu
| tion of major problems after war
hates have cooled.

Manning for Peace
Stressed at Session
Of Federal Bar Unit
B«rlc and Judd Speak
At Annual Conference
Of Association
A plea to "get organized now" for
a realistic peace planning was maria
last night by Representative Judd,
Republican, of Minnesota, before the
annual conference of the Federal
Bar Association.
"Unless we have learned the bitter
lesson of the last postwar period, we
will again fall into a period of dark
ness and deception," he said.
Stating that the choice is between
"co-operation or chaos.” Mr Judd
said the nations of the world must
join for a lasting peace. ,
"The United Nations." he said,
“must plan now for that peace."
Berle Speaks.
The place of lawyers In national
reconstruction was stressed before
the group by Assistant Secretary of
State A. A. Berle, jr.
Stating that some lawyers practice
in their own towns and communities
and others act as counsel for most of
the Federal and State administrative
agencies, Mr. Berle said lawyers
occupy a "strategic" position in help
ing the reconstruction period fol
lowing the war.
"This position.” he said, "places a
great responsibility on the lawyers.
We are now mobilizing production,
wealth, manpower and consumption
so that we may have the maximum
striking power for our armed forces.
We shall be doing this until the day
comes when we know that riur
enemies have unconditionally sur
rendered.
Committee Reports Given.
"Prom that time on we shall be
readjusting from war time economy,
to the freer life of peace. The prob
lems on the way out are not less
important than those on the way
in.”
Several reports of committees were
given to the conference. Those
giving reports included Walter A.
Bowers, senior chief fiscal officer of
the War Department;; Carl B.
Hyatt, special attorney with the
Justice Department: Dr. Charles S.
Collier, special assistant to the At
