economics and government will be off the press late month. . „The book, titled "Decentralize for Liberty," presents the case for achieving full employment based on expanding production, wide­spread ownership of business, . homes, farms and savings, and hi- ; dividual opportunity, all proceeding from the decentralisation of pro- auction, the ownerahlp of produc- , lug facilities, popuIaUon and gov- i erfiment. His plan rests upon one | centrol assumption—that full cm- ploymCtj t and individual opportun- ity cannot arise, or be maintained, under the present American econ-1 omy supported by taxing and; spendfng, but ttifit these goals can . be won through economic and po­litical decentralization and the en- forcement of the fre^ market.

Liberated Men Want to Fight Against Japan

Waut Health Back and To See Their Folks Before They Return To Battle in Pacific.

By Fred HampsoitEvacuation Hosoital, Luzon,

Phlllpplnea, Feb. 2.—(41—They want their health back. 'They want to eee their folks. Then they want to come back and fight the Japanese.

’Thoae are the prevailing senti- menta of the 486 Americans and more than a score of Allied pris­oners who were rescued by a pick­ed band of fighting men Tuesday from a atockade near Cabana- tuan.

Have Bitter Memoriee’They have bitter memories of

capitulation at Bataan and Cor- regldor. Many had to undergo the "death march" from Bataan. For nearly three years aa prisoners of the Japanese, they subsisted largely on a rice diet. ,

'Yes, many would like to flgnt again.

Their, memories goad them."The Japs always liked to slap

ua and aometlmea they’d give ua a pretty stiff beating," recsdled Pvt. Travli^W. Flowers, of Scran­ton, N. C., an aviation engineer captured on Corregidor.

Another prisoner recalled how the Japanese guards tried to lure the Yanks to the fence with offers of candy and tobacco. Inagmuch as the prisoners were not allowed within a certain distance of the fence, to approach it invited be- l..g ahot or whipped.

Ix)ndon, Feb. 2.—(41 — On the basis of reports indicating the pos­sibility of early political and per­haps military disintegration of large sections of northern Ger­many, Prime Minister Churchill will urge immediate approval at the big three meeting of plans for ruling the Reich. ,

This information came today from an entirely reliable London source. It was emphasized that thla statement should not be inter­preted to mean that Germany aa a whole would collapse In a matter of weeka, or that a quick surren­der of Nazi diehards could be ex­pected.

Sense of Real UrgencyNeverthelesi^t waa made clear

that a sense of real urgency has been lent to the big three session.

This source said Churchill waa operating, on the baais of reports from Inside Germany that much of the political machinery already had broken down in the northern areas and that the process of de­cay would be accelerated by war developments.

These reports came from sources which hitherto have insisted that

ing as many aa 20 of the accused in a small cell where they were forced to stand up for 12 hours. When night came, they could squat down If there was room— but a guard woke them up every hour.

Sick or well, a prisoner couldn’t win.

"The best rations went to the workers,” said Staff Sergt D. C. Raines, Bonifay, Fla., an aenal gunner who waa wounded on Bataan and captured In a hospital. He has been bospitallzed ever elnoe;

"I f you couldn’t work you got whatever they efiuld spare. We got so hungry in the hospital that for a while we supplemented our rice ration with soup made of sweet potato leaves.’ ’

And if you were well?Healthiest Shipped To Japan

Chief Staff Sergt. Clinton Good- bla, Longview, , Wash., said the healthiest prisoners were segre­gated and shiped to Japan, many after the Nipponese realized that the Yanks would reconquer Luzon.

Many were forced to work on Japanese air fields.

(Arthur Feldman, o f the Blue network, was told that one Ameri­can prisoner waa killed inadvert­ently by strafing bullets of Ameri­can planes raiding an enemy air field where he was at work. Hla death occurred just 48 hours be­fore he would have been rescued).

Hartford,; Feb. 2.—(A )— Rushing tobeat the deadline on the in- troduction of new business, members of the General As- aqmbly senj; a 9tea4y atoraa) of hills to the clerks’ desks, but observers predicted the final total would fall some­what short of the 2,000 proposals handled in 1943.

All to Get Opportoalty With the close of the period for

receiving bills set for adjournment today, legislative leaders said they would give the aolons evety op­portunity during the day to put in their proposals. To that end. tlv House which usually gets most of the bills because of its larger memberahip will be in session technically until 4 )>. m.

The "fightless Friday" rule also gave legislators a chance to devote virtually all their time to final drafting of late proposals without the distractions of floor debates .such as those which kept the so­lons at work yesterday until a late hour.

House and Senate clerks said that when the Legislature adjourn­ed last night, the number of bills introduced up until then totaled 1,406— 558 in the Senate and 848 in the House. In 1943, the final day for the introduction of new business brought about 800 meas­ures, a record for a single day which was not expected to be ap­proached today.

Washington, Feb. 2— (41,—Big names in and out of government were mentioned today for the big job of running the government’s landing agencies. *

These were among thoae talked of for the post which the Senate voted overwhelmingly to keep out of the hands of Henry A. Wallace as prospective secretary of com­merce:

Fred M. Vinson, economic stabi­lization director: Joseph P. Ken­nedy, former ambassador to Lon­don; Marrlner S. Eccles, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, and Henry J. Kaiser, shipbuilder who was active in the fight to give Wal­lace the landing as well as the Commerce post.

Whoever President Roosevelt names will have to be confirmed by the Senate.

Nomination to WaitInto cold storage until March 1

went Wallace’s nomination for secretary of commerce while the Senate sent to the House by a 74 to 12 vote a bill to clip from the department authority over the government’s lending agencies.

The bill, promised priority by House Democratic leaders who pre­dicted easy passage there, would set up a separate loan administra­tor. .

Wallace avoided lo.sing the coni- rnerce secretaryship when Demo- criitic Leader Barkley (Ky.) whee­dled a majority of tlie .Senate yes­terday into delaying action on the nomination, pa.ssing a bill by Sena­tor Geqrge (D.. Ga.) to divorce the financial from the trade supervis­ing functions.

Too late for any practical effect in the Senate, Presldeht Roosevelt transmitted to Barkley a message which said that if Congress chose to return the leilding authority to the Federal loan agoicy, he would approve the measure.

Paris, Feb. 2.— (i<P)— Amer­ican and French troops clear­ed 30 miles of the left bank of the Rhine below Stras­bourg today and laid a heavy artillery barrage on the Neufbrisach railroad e.scapebridge from less than a mile away. In the center of the western front, the American First and ’Third Armies probed deeper Into the thinly manned Siegfried line and advanced up to two miles in its fringes on the wentern ■lopes of the Elfel mountains op- posit the late Ardennea bulge.'

The threat to the Alsatian capi­tal waa all but dissipated, for gains also were made on the north, push­ing the Germans to points about 15 miles away from Strasbotirg.

units. Formal tendei- of a peace offer by Germany seems quite un­likely.

My conviction In this respect W’aa strengthened after 1 had an opportun tty today to talk private­ly to a whole "cage" of prisoners of war who had come straight from battle.

1 atreas tha private nature of my talk not because American author­ities would have objected to any­thing they might have heard hadthey remained with me. On the contrary, my impresaiona jibed with thoae of Army authorities,' with whom I compared notes. But I believed the prisoners might talk more freely If I spoke to them in German, told them I had been a re­porter In Germany for 21 yeartaand thus showed I was interested In learning just how they felt.

Slek and Tired of WarTliey were a bedraggled, down­

hearted and decidedly unprepo.s- sessing crowd*-nothing like the tritiinphant. youthful and Impeiu- ous singing formations I had seen In 1940 In Holland, Belgium and France. Without e\,ception. they said the other men in their units were sick and tired of the war and had but one hope—early peace.

Many also claimed to have con­spired with three or four men to go AWOL into the Ametic.in lines in such n manner they could not. If \ recaptured, be accused of deser- ; tlon.

But when I a.sked about their ! officers and the likelihood of whole ' companies and regimento smTen- '■ dering tjjey said nothing conid be expected of the officers, although ' many of Iherii were ab.solnlely ■ through with the war. Some

Bultlwiii Removes Him­self as Possible Suc­cessor to ' Maloney.s t a te C apitol, H artfo rd , Feb. 2

_(/Pi—Gov. R aym ond E. Baldwinlas t n igh t definitely rem oved him ­self from the Hat of possible in­terim successors to the la te U. S. S ena to r F ranc lv T. Maloney (D ).

E a rlie r in th e day Rep. Philip :-iullivan. D em ocratic floor leader, told the H ouse of R epreaentatlves th a t the governor had tu rned down a D em ocratic suggestion th a t he fill the untstp lred portion of the late eena to r 's term .

He .said th a t he and S ena to r Leon R lsCassi had made the su g ­gestion to Baldwin soon a f te r M a­loney's death early las t m onth , bu t th a t the governor b*d tu rn ed it aside say ing "I sim ply canno t do it."

Sullivan told the House th a t “we (the Democrat.*!) would semi Gov­ernor Baldvyln to the S enate a t any m om ent becau.se we know he is a diatlhguished and able public officer."

Inf(>rnied of Sullivan’s House speech la s t n igh t a t his press con­ference, following y este rday 's long srwiion of the L egisla ture , Bald­win said :

D uty To FulflII T erm■T am very g ra te fu l to Phil Sul

how ever to s ta y in C onnecticut end continue to fulfill my te rm as governor. T h a t Is the office to which the people elected me and I tak e It as th e ir desire and m andate to continue In th is Job.”

Sullivan had told the House th a t Baldwin w as assured by him and DisCassi th a t if he agreed to ac­cept th e schato rsh ip he could do so w ith confidence th a t hla succes­sor, L ieut. Gov. W ilbert Snow. W esleyan poet and professor of English, a lthough a D em ocrat 'vould conduct the office w ith poli­tical consideration because, Sulli- ,*an said, Snovy w as "not a polltl- ian."

Sullivan’s speech cam e during a debate on a R epublican - apbn- sored bill g iv ing th e governor pow­e r to nam e M aloney’s successor and a f te r the House, by 129 to 54, had defeated a D em ocratic am end­m en t providing fo r legislative con­firm ation of the appointm ent.

"The bill now goes to the Demo- cra tic-con tro llcd Senate.

D uring th e 'debate w hich lasted until 7 p. m„ Rep. H erb ert B. W anderer contended th a t If the D em ocrats w ould be "sa tisfied ” w ith Baldw in a s M aloney’s succes­sor, they should be equally satiafled to t r u s t him w ith th e sppointm enL

ed th a t he and his R epublican associates w ere a n x io u s 'to avoid a special election and w an ted the problem se ttled im m ediately. The R epublican leader expreaacd the belief, how ever, th a t should the governor’s nom inee be required to go to the L eg isla tu re for con­firm ation , th e re would be no pros­pect of a speedy ag reem en t be­tw een the tw o Houses.

D em ocrats them selves, con tend­ed W anderer, w ere no t agreed on a candida te because, he said, the p a rty w as sp lit Into tw o factions.

The am endm ent providing for confirm ation w as offered by Rep. C harles H cnchel (D .) of New H a­ven. who continued th a t his p ro ­posal w ould give the public, th rough th e L egisla tu re , th e oppor­tu n ity to pass on th e qualification of the governor’s choice.

The governor, asserVid Henchel, had closed the d(jor to any public consideration of a candidate by his recen t s ta te m e n t th a t he would no t disclose h is choice in advance of receiving legislative au th o rity to m ake th e appointm ent.

One of the g:reatest of Con­necticut’s pdst-war problems will be providing Jobs for the labor force of employables In the state, the growth of which is graphl-Al- ly shown in the chart prepared by the Connecticut Post-War Plan­ning Board.

In 1920 this force numbered 589,000 men and women, which by 1940 had steadily g r o '^ to 776,- 000. But owing to the w®r effort It had Reached 872,000 in 1943.

One o f the factors necessarily considered In determining how many Jobs will have to be avail­able to provide reasonably full em­ployment after the war is the In­creased productivity of labor. New labor saving machinery and other technical advances indicate that from 1940 to 1947 the productivity of each worker will have advanc-

'ed 15 per cent.If production returns, by the

year 1947, to the level of 1940, there will be only 577,.'V00 jobs available In Connecticut industry which formerly employed 679,000 workers to turn out the same quantity of products. But it is

: estimated by the Planning Board ! that 859,800 workers will be bld- ' ding for Jobs by 1947. ass\imlng I the war ia oyer before then. There- ' fore unless industry raises the i level of production sufficiently ; above 1940 levels, the rcmHlning I 282,300 workers will constitute

the largest army of unemployed the state has seen.

This conclusion is a result of an employment study by' the Board. The availability o f such statistics In all fields is deemed so vital that the Planning Board has recom­mended establishment of a perma­nent clearing house of informa­tion to assist government, busi­ness, agriculture and social serv: ices. Symbols on the chart are by the Pictograph Corporation.

and more bills covering a wide flcld of Bubjects. the clerks’ de.eks in the two houses began to resem­ble mountains of papers.

Major late-arriving Senate bills proposed Increasing the Soldiers', Sailors’ and Marines’ fund from $2,600,000 to $16,000,00 and a state-wide referendum on a pro- nosal to call a constitutional con­vention to consider rcvlBlnn of the state constitution, a measure long sponsored by Democrats.

Governor Baldwin In hia budget message yesterday recommended a substantial” but unspeeifled In­

crease In the veterans’ fund and said the money should come out of the post-war purposes fund which now approximates $13,000,- 000.

Other Senate bills proposed plac­ing with the Insurance commis­sioner the supervision of rate mak­ing for premiums on fire, bond and

places and have already arranged for tlio four voting places, having been so in.structed by atvotfe at a Town Mooting.

The oidy tune that this matter came befoi’c the voters to decide by a vote on tlie voting machine was on Nov. 2.S, 1039, when the plan to aet up tlie four voting places was eiefeatod 869 to 475.

Since that time there has been a change of opinion. There are now 11,000 voting in one place.

Although the Gerrhans declared the Russians had been thrown out of Kuatrln, 40 miles from Berlin, they referred to this as the ’’first attack" and Indicated that strong Soviet forces might have been brought up for a full scale assault.

To Uae Substitute It was brought out that the sup­

ply of coal Itself is not sufficient to meet demands that will be made during the rest of the winter and the amount of coal due to be ship­ped here will not fully meet the needs. Therefore a substitute fuel must be brought in. Dealers have already made such plans and s sup­ply of the Substitute fuel is on Its way.

Urge Checking Car Batteriespower and Material

Shb^^ges Make Re­placement DifficultTruck, bus stM passenger car

operators were th<tey urged by the Office of Defense Ttwasportatlon to make weekly check-u$^ of their storage batteries. The'lropeal was made in a maintenam^hulletln calling for proper and regular stor­age battery maintenance bemuse of Increased manpower and rna.ts- rlal shortages.

Storage batteries, the OD' stated, should be considered as a wearing part of an automotive ve­hicle since their useful life Is limit­ed. Batteries must be used and charged to be kept in operating condition and if merely left stand­ing without charge, they will de­teriorate until they become useless. Moreover, imdercharged batteries are liable to freeze during -severe winter weather.

Dealer* CheckThe ODT pointed out that bat­

tery dealers have to check bat­teries on their shelves awaiting sole, at frequent lnten.’als to keep them in usable condition. The in­dividual car owner cannot store a new battery in his basement for six months or so and still expect to have a useful battery. Six months’ storage without proper and fre­quent charging will produce noth- big more than a hard rubber box full o f lead and chemicals which are useless insofar as the storage o f electricity is concerned.

Similarly, storage batteries in j active use can deteriorate if they are not kept properly charged. The ODT warned passenger car owmers operating cars under war­time gasoline allotments that dur­ing the winter months, batteries in intermittent use may require re­charging. In addition, the ODT

I stated, batteries in a vehicle left I standing in a garage or in storage [for any length of time also deterio- Irate unless periodically checked I and recharged.

Maintenance Suggestion* Storage battery maintenance

I suggestions made by the ODT fol- llow:

A. Lack of Water—Water Is post as the result of charging and Ishould be replenished as soon as Ithe liquid level falls to the top of llhe separators. If water is not re- I placed, and the plaj^es become ex- jposed, the acid will reach a danger­ously high concentration that will char and disintegrate the woodeparators, thus Impairing per­

formance o f the plates. Plates cannot take full part in the battery

tlon unless they are completely covered by the electrolyte. Sul- phuratic acid need never be added io a cell unless spillage has oc-

nrred.B. Loose "Hold - Downs” —

fHold-Downs,” or battery supportsnot properly adjusted allow the

ittery to bounce in the cradle, ils will not only crack battery

bases but also do severe damage ^o the plates by causing the active lateri^ in the grids to drop to the ottom of the battery.C. Overcharging— A high gen­

erator charging rate bums up the biqtes and separators, and the vio­lent gassing action forces the ac- Uve material from the plates so Lhat It collects in the bottom of the pell and thus is lost.

D. Undercharging — A battery bperated with insufficient charge pver.a long period of time may de­velop a coating of the plates which

HI permanently reduce the bat- lery capacity. In addition a par- |lally charged battery is liable to

eze during ffivere winter weath- |r. Whenever the specific gravity |f a battery tests 1.225 qr lower, Be battery should be recharged.K. Battery ’ ’Dopes”—No'satis-,

year.•It would be the church of all

the people, of everyone who is flghUng sin and trying to esUb- Ilsh righteousness; the church of the rich and the poor, th# wise and the ignorant, the high and th# low—a true democracy.”

It would, said Mr. Rockefeller,, be the kind of church Christ Him­self would advocate. If He were to come to earth again.

••When Christ came Into the world,” said Mr. Rockefeller, "He found the church loaded down with ritual and formalism. Every minutest detail of dally Ufa was regulated by religious enactment In the eyes of the church the most religious man was not he who gave to the poor, who helped the unfortunate, who was imssUlsRi mask and lowly, but he who kept moot punctiliously every Jot sad tittle of the law. The spirit of re­ligion had been displaced by empty forin."

Now, said Mr. RookMsUer, the artiflclallUes of religion have again bean mulupUsd.

••Osn ws Imagine,” he asksd, •that wore Christ to oonw esrth\sgsln H# would regard the

lOS or non-observanoa tbeas a n o th e r ordinances and In' dividual bsHMs, of tbe manner which they aro observed, as of Bufflclant im p ^ w ce to Justify controversy arnwg Hi# followers, and tbelr separsuhn into rival factions 7”

••Today, as a lw a y s ,s a id Mr Rockefeller, /'humanity ^ v e s the substance of religion; \^while churches too often emphasl^ the form.”

Mr. Rockefeller closed with dramatic illustration of the kind of religion he was advocating.

"On, Feb. 3, 1943," be eald, "the cargo transport Dorchester was torpedoed at 1:15 a. m.. and sank within twenty-five minutes in Ice­berg waters, ninety miles from Greenland. Ae the ship want down, four chaplains—one s Cath­olic, one a Jew, two Protestants— were on the deck encouraging the men and passing out life belts. When there were no life belts left, they took off their own and gave them away. These chaplaihe were last seen standing nnn jn arm praying."

Mr. Rockefellers plea and his vision speak for themselves. Does any one doubt that he has seen religion as it should be? Is It not true that the formalism of our modem church orgamzaUun and conduct all too often dwarfs and obscures the substance and the spirit of religion? Does any one doubt that the first teaching of a Christ returned to ehrth would he a sweeping aside of all the arti­ficialities, all the^ prides In ritual, all tbs Insistence upon hair-line Interpretations of dogma, now dividing man In his worship of Qod? And does any one doubt that the great masses of humanl ty who, in the present world shame and tragedy, have felt both an Increasing need for religion and an increasing doubt as to the adequacy o< rtUgloa M It la now practiced, would welcome a church whose terms at sdmlaslan would bo mefely love of God?

More Than 3,000 Ex­tras Called Off Jobs In Jurisdictional Row.

Wins Commission

Hollywood, Feb. 2.—((P)—More than 3,000 extraa, membem of the Screen Playem union, were called off their Jobs from all major stu- dlok today as the climax of a Jurisdictional dispute.

SPU Business Representative Michael Jeffers said studios would be picketed In protest of what he termed "the producers' fiagrant violation of Federal law and re­pudiation of the union's certifica­tion by the National Labor Rela­tions Board as the bargaining* agent for extras.”

Reject Interim Agreement The producers last night reject­

ed an Interim agreement, proposed by the SPU, covering the hiring of extras for bit parts and stunts Tbe producers sala they were awaiting determination of who has control of the bit-part and stunt field—the independent SPU or the older Screen Actors Guild (AFL).

Extras chose the SPU a# their bargaining agent In a NLRB eleC' tlon laat December, but the SAG's "a-Junlor members.” ostensibly bit players and stuntmen, have been getting extra work, Jeffers declared. He said that on the oth er hand SPU extras haven’t been getting any bit-part or stunt work and that this is a violation of NLRB decision. ~

John Dales, executive secretary of the Sag—which still claims ex elusive Jurisdiction over players doing bit's or stunts—interpreted the "SPU threat to strike as an effort to wrest Juriscl.ction over acting work for the guild.” Guild members. Dales said, have been Instructed to pass through picket lines.

Contemplates Closed ShopThe producers sal they tiuhed

down SPU’s Interim proposal be­cause It "does not relate to wages and hours, but contemplates a closed shop and a closed union." They termed the NLHB's designa­tion as “improper, for It has cre­ated -« conflict Of JurisdlcUon In acting work."

Producers declined to say what Immediate effect the scheduled walkout would have on motion picture production. It would be

National Service Bill Workings Explained

‘Date May Take Long Time to Act on Meas- qre Passed by House Affecting Workers.

By Ssmes Marlow ( Washington, Feb. —

Here’s an explanation of the na­tional service bill—to force work­ers Into war Jobs—which the House passed.

Remember: It's stiU only a bill. I t can’t become law until' the Sen­ate passes It and the president signs it. His Sehats may take long to act.

Looto Boards Wield Big Club Tbe bill's big club is wielded by

the local draft boards.The bill covers men 18 to 45.

Draft boards can ask them—and then order them—to change from their present Job to a Job where the board says they’re needed.

If they don't comply—or leave a Job to which the board directs them—they can be drafted into the Army or fined $10,000 and sentenced to 5 years in Jail.

Must Get Reasoubln Choice But—a board must give a man

a reasonable choice of Jobs If It orders him to quit the one he’s in.

And—the man can appeal to the Draft Appeals Board, Just M a man could If hla draft board changed his draft deferment cIm - alflcatioa and ordered him to re­port for a physical examination.

And—a man may refuse to fol­low the board'e order. If h e does, he may have to prove to his board or a court that ha h M good rea­son for refusing.

Must Consider Effect# Boards are instructed In tbe bill

to Consider the effect on a man's family before ordering him to change Jobs, and the effect on him.

Suppose a Job is away from ,home. A man who took such a Job 'voluntarily, or at draft board’s or­ders, would receive travel pay to the Job and, when the need for him there ended, travel pay home again.

There is no provision for moving his family. But he gets the same .benefits M serviceman under the soldiers and sailors civil relief acL

This act would protect him in 'various ways from civil Uw suits

a man wduld ba antltled to hla oldJob back, with his seniority pro­tected, If he applied for it again within 90 days after finishing up a t the Job where the draft board sent him. >•

Farmers are practically exempt from this Mil. If thslr draft boairak which originally dafem d them Sa essential, atiU think tb e y n aaasn- tlal on their farm they stay there.

But a man who is working in a war plant can, under the MU, be ordered to work in some other Job which his draft board says needs him more, such m a farm.

Byrnes Would Be Big BoesThe big boss of all this would be

War Mobiliser Byrnes. (Jovern- ment agencies, like the War Man­power Commission or War Produc­tion Board or Army or Navy would tell him where workers are needed most

Efforts would be made to men for those jobs on a volun­tary basts.

WMC and Its U. S. Employment service undoubtedly would too the recniltlng, m they have right along.

The draft boards In the area needing the men for certain plants would be told of the problem.

They’d look over their hats of men 18 to 45 and sat them up In categories.

Gould Order d iaage of JobsIf a certain plant needed a cer­

tain type of skilled worker, the draft board could look through Its lists, find the mSn, and M k — and fln ^y order—him to changs.

The first efforts would be mads, BO tha Mils sajrs, to get them for war or war-supporting Jobs who now are not In them.

And one more thing which Is very important for everyone 18 to 46.

This bill would impose a real Job freeze on svsryons for no one, whether he's working for himself or someone else, eould change tn another Job without draft board approval.

As a m u lt, the recuperation and return to nor­mal life of the boy from Portland or Windsor Locks may be needlessly delayed;

Thtfs Arm thm FmttaiIn the two-and-a-half years from Pearl Harbor up to the Invasion of France—total American t in t i t casualties were 224,693. From-'*D" Day until January 1, 1945, Secretary of W ar Henry L. Stimson reported that in France, the Low­lands and the German border r^ ion , casualties in the ground forces, alone, of the United Sntci Army totalled 332,912, of whom 232,672 were grounded. Overall American tattle cotuahiet as rtparted throa$h January 7,1945 were 662,399.

Thmam Arm the Sobering FlgitfeatWounded arc being returned from overseas to Army General HospitaU in this country at the rate^of 30,000 a month. Many of these men havl been wofinded two and three times. One Georgia Sergeant had been wounded SEVEN T IM E S I ITierc arc thousands of husbands and brothers and sons recuperating in Army hospitals evertesa regaining strength to returp to duty or to come back to the States for further treatment. Arc th* women of America going to disappoint them?

At the moment, every Army nurM in the United States' must handle twenty-six hospital beds— almost twice as many beds as any one person is cffidentljr able la handle.

The .4rmy Is doing everything In its power to obtain more nurses. A t the same lime, a vast effort must be made la stretch the prafessioHal efficiency of every sinyle Army nurse on duty in the United States. This is why fVacs are needed — now— right here.

The Isnperestive Need for Wtsea in Army General BoapUata tn Thie CountryMore than 8,000 Wacs arc needed immediately in United States Army HospitaU to help Army doctors and nurses in their tremendous tu k . Unless nurses are able to give full time to the professional nursing requirements of individual^ cases, wounded men will lack proper caic. U n­less more Wacs are found to take over non.pro- fessional duties, recuperation and rehabtTitation of hospitalized foldiers will be retarded.

Approximately 3,300 W a o ar^alrcady at work in our Army General H a w a i i today. Soon, another 1,000 Wacs now in training will go on duty. /

But this is not nearly enough to fill the mini- mum needs of Army hospitals in the United States.

The Worls Wtsea Do tn Army HoapUalaThere is a pressing backlog of requisitions, at the moment, for W AC Medical and Surgical Technicians. Any woman, aped 20 to 49, inclu- five, may apply. Previous hospital training is not necessary. I f you cun qualify, the Army will train you.

W A C Medical Technicians under professional supervision of Army doctors and nurses aid in the care of w ou^ed toldiert. 'They help with blood transfusions, serve as ward mastert, de­liver meals to wounded soldiers and feed the helpless ones, and keep those essential records which are important to their present progrcM •nd their po$t-wv protection.

W A C Surgical'Technicians under, jlrofession.'il supervision specialize in the technique of assist­ing doctors and nurses don suTgcal gowns and gloves, attend to the care,Tepair and steriliza­tion of operating instruments, and assist in the pre- and post-opcrat|v4 care of patients.

Wacs are also dpihg marvelous work u medical stenographeri. An Army doctor using a W ae in this capacity can take care of many more pa­tients, for he does not need to retain mental not^^Or take time to write up a cate before t ^ h g another,

* Waea W'UI Be ReerulleA forHoapUtsl VnittThe Army’s goal it a unit of 100 Waca to every, thousand beds in Army General Hospitals in this country.

Each unit will be made up of several platoons. Each platoon will number fifteen W ad . Many women will want to interest their friends in making up platoons— doubtless many communi* ties will set out to recruit a whole unit.

Although the primary need is for Medical and Surgied Technicians, any wonun with clerical aptitude should also apply. For each W A C jinit will need several women with clerical ability. General of the Army George C. Marshall, on January 7, wrote the Governor of each State u follows:

"The care of the increasing number of casualties arriving in the United States, together with an acute shortage in nurses and hospital personnel generally, necessitates urgent meuures being taken to recruit and rapidly train women for service in Army hospitsils."W e urgently need W a a for our sixty General Hospitals.

' “Your leadership in recruiting women for such platoons will be a great Krvice t* the Army. These recruits will be trained for assignment to particular named Army General Hoapitali^ in­cluding those iecsted in j’ouj Su m .”

If you've had two years of high school—or the equivalent—go to your nearest United States Army Recruiting Station and apply fon a W AC Hospital Unit.

If you meet enlistment requirements, you will be given six weeks of basic training before being 'sent to a recognized Army Medical Technician School, After six weeks of technical training, you will be assigned to an Army hospital, where you will have four weeka of additional on-the- job training.

Thoae who qualify will become Tethniciant Fifth Grade immediately on completion of their training.

Not only are thew W AC hospital jobs of infi­nite importance in war time, but they can lead to a career . . .

Women trained in this kind of work will find medical, industrial and social fields for their skills in years t* come. The experience gained from serving in Army Hospitals under war­time conditions is invaluable.

task of punishing the Nazi perse­cutors of German Jews.

With "inexorable determination to see justice done, the United State.s government announced that it has completed proposals for a stern system of punishment and that these are now under discus­sion with the Other United Na- tions. . _ .

Acting Secretary o f State Joseph C. Grew summed them up thusly:

"They provide for the punish­ment of German leaders assbclatc* for their responsibility for the whole broad criminal entei^ prise devised and executed with ruthless disregard o f toe very foundation of law and morality, including offenses wherever com­mitted against toe rules o f war and against minority elements, Jewish and other groups, and in­dividuals.”

"Sometimes they’d give us the bones for soup. 'ITiat was about all toe meat we got.”

" I t seems to me that for months and months at d time, we thought and dreamed only of enough to eat." recalled Sergeant Goodbla.

‘■Maybe that doesn’t sound very noble but, believe me, when you don’t get it. food can be damned near everything.”

The agonies of going without food were impressed on toe men from toe very first day they began the “death march" from Bataan.

"On toe first day o f that march, they gave us no water either,” said a participant, Laverne Ritchie, Trenton, 111.

In toe East Side Rec Junior League last night the Royal Blues walloped-the Squire Jrs., 45 to 11, Center Springs whipped the Spar- tons, 20 to 7, and toe Highland Park Pioneers edged out the Eagles, 20 to 18.

In the first game the Squire Jrs. gave toe Royal Blues a run for their money In the first half. Hold­ing toe first round winners to 12 points and tallrtng 10 themselves. The second half they folded up when ”the Royal Blues put on the pressure. Blow, Lea Ac(xmiero and Rivosa ran wild to pile up a win­ning score of 45 to 11. The Squire Jrs. did not score a field goal in too second half.

The second game found toe Cen­ter Springs chalking up their third straight win In the second round when they romped through an easy 20 to 7 victory.

Both teams threw up a zone but the Center Springs were more effective. The Spartons were able to penetrate through for only 8 hoops. Careful and accurate pass­ing enabled the Center Springs to shake men loose for layup shots time and again.

Moske and Burke etarred for the Center Springs while DavU fea­tured for the Spartons.

In the final game the Pioneers were saved by the final whistle when an Eagle rally was cut short. Trailing by 8 point* wl*h only 3 minutes to go the Eagles put on a spurt that netted them three hoops to come within 2 points of tying up the ball game, but the time had dwindled away and toe game ended 20 to 18 in favor of Highland Park,

The Botteron brothers were the j oint getters while Pitkin and Mc­Kay plavcd good floor games. Genovese and Brev/er starred for the Eagles.

One week from Sunday the Bris­tol-West Ends will battle toe RA '« at the Rec. The Bell Towners gave, the P A ’a their toughest ball game of toe season two weeics ago in Bristol. Included in the Bi-is- tol lineup are many name ball players The management has as­sured the PA manager.

Basketball managers t o ^ y arc oh toe spot. Knowing tho-'circum stances of the local PA/s and the Meriden Ehidees, it caiy'M said that many teams contac^^anagers and throw out a goott' Una on what they’ve got.

Chicago, Feb. 2—OP)—Leslie M. O’Connor, Chairman of the Major League Advisory Council, ruling against a $1,500 bunua claim by Pitcher L. N. (Buck) Newsom against the St. Louis Browns, an­nounced yesterday that the "bad practice” of agreements not em­bodied in a contract henceforth will draw fine* ranging- from $100 IcTS.IOO.

O'Connor's edict held tliat the Browns and Newsom deliberately violated a -Major League rule when .he pitcher transferred from Brooklyn to the Browns in 1943. Newsom received a $1,000 bonus for reporting to the Browns '<Uroniptly ami in the right frame of mind," and was jiromised an ad­ditional $1,500 based on his 1943 season performance.

The bonu.s, the council bulletin rsserted, waa to be left to the dis- ( relion of the Browns’ president, Donald L. Barnes. The Bulletin fni'ther state.s that Newsom, after winning one game and losing six, told Barnes he warned to be tradi ed. but Bai-nes repo: tedly told Q(e pitcher that ail he asked of Jv\m was to "pitch and try."

In disallowing NewsoniV claim O'Connor quoted a ruleytoat any written or verbal agi^m ent "Not t Tibodied in the eontriict shall sub­ject both parties / o discipline by tl\e commiasione

O'Connor deriared that similar violations InylJie fiitur# will entail a fine of $jXW for a Major League club Infraction, $250 for a Minor Leagujy/club's violation and '$100 for a/player’s violation.

a second ruling O'Connor Warded the claim of outfielder

'om Hafey against the Browms for one month's salary. Hafey’* .'lalni grew out of a -lispute be­tween to* Browns and the' Sena­tors over the outfielder’s .services last August. Washington claimed Hafey on waivers, but rescinded the claim when the.v discovered the player was not 4-F in the draft but 1-A

Washington's action was upheld by the late Comniissloncr K. M. I.andis, hut ,the Brown.s refiuscd to lake Hafey back and finally as­signed him' to Oakland.

'Jext, he opened a drawer full pf noney. ‘ ‘I don’t know how much s here—about flve thousand dol- ars, I think. How In the world im I going to take it with m e?’’- feff thought of a money belt, but Kenderson did not have one. Much it the money was in small bills, and It would make too big a wad to be carried in a pocket. All of s sudden an idea occurred to him. ‘I’ll rip open the lining of your coat and it can go in there." In sn instant Henderson had his coat oft and Jeff, with his knife, opened -the lining at the neck, t^ e n the wad of balls was thrust In' it made a big lump, but they patted it down.

"Now. I've got to run over to the Briggs House and get my things,” Jeff said. ' ■

"The Briggs House! Why, my dear fellow, there isn’t a chance. Everything In that direction is on fire. You caii see the hotel from these windows. Let’s take a look.” •^ey went quickly to the window of the secretary’s room. In the line o f fire to the southwest the hotel could be seen. From Its windows long tongues o f flame were shooting upward. Jeff turned away without any com­ment. "Come along,” Henderson ■aid. "or we’ll be roasted In this building.”

The fire was cloee at hand when they ran downstairs and made for the door. Some men were still at the counters, loading them- ■elvea with armsful of clothing, but the truck had gone. Sparks were falling like rain. TTiey hur­ried around the comer Into the alley where they had left the horse and buggy. Both were gone; somebody had stolen them.

It was early morning—Just about dawn—when they found a vacant place for their things on a lawn in the park-. The servanto— Jaiie, the cook and housemaid, and Thomas, her husband—proceeded

Looking upward at that moment, he saw a burn­ing plonk tail, high overhead, through the heated air and land on the roof of a building a quar­ter o f a mile away.

A fire was soon blazing on the grass and a breakfast of ham. eggs and coffee was being pre­pared. The crowds that were milling about, their arms laden with clothes; stared curiously at the little group. "This is Camp Henderson." Jackie called out in shrill, boyish tones. "I wish we had some kind of shelter,” said his mother. "I f it happens to rain we’ll be soaked.” During the day the homeless refugees in the park wer^ supplied with tents by the army.

Henderson asked one of the army offleers it anyone knew what started the fire. "They say," the major replied , "that a Mrs. O’Leary, over on the West Side, went out to her cowshed to milk her cow. It was after dark and she carried a lamp which she put down cn the ground, artd the cow kicked it over. That set the shed afire.
