COULD TURN OUT
10000 MEN BY FALL

Studcbaker's Office points out that
the nation already has O billion dol
lar plant ready TO do oil the training
or restraining that may be needed
the technical high schools and
other vocational training schools OF
the regular public school system
over the country. They are equipped
with exactly the sort OF tools and
machines needed 10 prepare men
for work In airplane factories, auto
factories or machine shops.
Furthermore, for the past 10 years
the ONCE OF Education has fos-
tered special courses 10 train crafts
men IN the technique OF teaching.
There are thousands OF these teach
crs on call. Most OF them are men
now working q regular eight-hour
day In industry and could put In O
four.hour teaching shift easily aft
erWard.
BY manning oil OF these schools
and running them mt capacity, the
Studebaker Office figures, the nation
could turn out 10000 single skilled
men, ready for factory Jobs, by the
end OF this summer. BY one year
from now II could turn out $50 900
skilled men, In addition 10 the $780,.
900 regular students In the schools.
TO do nll this, IL Is estimated, would
cost $63, 100000.
Point that Is emphasized Ia that
this could start Immediately, and
that no costly and delaying
purchases OF new machinery or ac-
QUESTION Of new buildings would
be needed.

counters that this wouldn't absorb
the young men who are anxious 10

lied" industries because the bulk OF
those youths can't afford TO 20 10

1874 900 young men who are getting

II as much as 100000, 900 OF the

TO all OF this, the Office OF Edu-
cation retorts that buying the need
cd machinery would simply add 10
the misunderstanding bottleneck IN
the machine tool business, and that
" isn't simply youth that needs the
training. On the contrary, II says,
there are many thousands OF skilled
workers whose skills have gone rusty

Prisoner Builds
Pipe Organ, Wins
Release From Pen

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Sept. 10.
(UP)-Jim Trees was a free man
today as his reward for "construC-
tive rehabilitation" in Indiana state
prison.
He left at the prison as a monu-
ment to his rehabilitation a pipe
organ.
As a convicted robber, Trees sat
in prison chapel one day and heard
the chaplain tell of the need for a
prison organ. The Rev. Robert Hall
said the dream could be realized
only through determination.
Trees, neither musician nor ar
tisan, supplied the determination.
His mother, Mrs Bertha Trees, Gin
cinnati, O., sent him all the liter
ature she could find on how to
build an organ. From scraps of wood
and metal cleaned around prison
shops Trees built alone an organ
valued as high as $1,000 by experts
who attended the first concert a
month ago.

SLEPT IN OPEN FIELD

Our first night out of Paris we
slept in an open field. Patricia
Jeanne jumped at every little noise.
And at dawn there was bomb
ardment nearby in the north. We
could only pray and hope. for there
was no air raid shelter near.
"At the end of two seemingly
endless days we reached Bordeaux,
where we found lodgings with a rela-
tive of a friend of my husband. Still
Patricia Jeanne was well. 1t was
not till we reached Portugal, her
first taste of a world of peace in
her life, that she got Sick. She was
over-handled. over ah-ed, over-awed
She became i'll from too much codd-
