Cooperative Program
Announced as First
Men Go to Comps

To assure jobs for selectees after
they return from a year in military
camp, Director of Selective Service
c. A. Dykstra announced today pro-
gram of cooperation among Fed
eral, State and local governments.
The plan was announced on the
heels of the first movement of
selectees to camps yesterday, and
provides definite arrangements not
only for the return of an old job to
man who leaves it to 60 to camp.

Quoted into the Army.
The Selective Service Act makes
provision for the civilian re-employ-
ment Of men after they have full
filled their selective service require
ments, it was explained.
Advisers Are on Duty.
The selective service advisers on
occupational deferments, it was ex-
planned, are now stationed at all
State selective service headquarters.
One of their tasks is to assure that
the vast military training program
does not unduly interfere with the
Nations economic life. But it is also
their new responsibility to take
steps to make certain the return of
Selectees to jobs and to locate new
jobs for selectees who are now out
of work.
Every Federal, State and local
agency having to do with the task
of finding employment for civilians
is cooperating in working out the
unemployment program, DR.. Dyk-
stra said.
In addition, he pointed out, many
employers have given their en-
ployes and selective service officials
assurance that each man called for
training will be restored to his job.
or one Of like rank, when he returns
from camp.
Patriotism Praised.
Each employer realizes. I'm
sure" Mr.. Dystra said, that men
who 60 into training are perform
ing service to the Nation of which
the employer is a part.
The men are meeting a grave
obligation and we known they are
doing it in generous, patriotic
way. The responsibility of the en-

ployer is equally great and he, too,
is meeting it with the same spirit
of generosity and patriotism.
The morale of the selectees must
be preserved and those men who
know that a job awaits them after
they have completed their service
are certain to fulfill their selective
service obligations with greater
degree of enthusiasm than those
who face the future with uncer-
tainty."
Previously. it was announced at
selective service headquarters that
the men indicted will be assigned
to training camps without especial
regard to the local communities
from which they have been indicted.
Meanwhile. the Public Health
Service assigned nine physicians to
the Job Of seeing that communities
near military training camps are
kept healthy.
Announcing the appointments, DR..
Thomas Parran, surgeon general,
said that Ito safeguard the health
of Americas young men who are
receiving military training, it is
necessary to have proper health
conditions in the areas surround
ing the camps. as well as in the
camps themselves
One of the physicians will work
in each of the nine Army corps
areas. and will act as laison ofIicer
between Army medical men and

Crew in Attacked Convoy Tells
Of Return to Ship to Fight Fire
- the Associated Press.

- the ASSoclateo Press.
LONDON, Nov. 19.-The singed
and battered crew of the British
tanker San Demetrio, one Of the
conveyed vessels to escape German
sea raider November 5 under cover
of the suicide" defense of H. M. S
Jervis Bay, yesterday told an
astonishing story of how they saved
their ship after having been driven
overheard by shell fire and flaming
petrol cargo.
They spent "a icy hours in open
boats before climbing back aboard
their burning vessel to fight the
fire. Then-with their charts and
navigation instruments destroyed
they navigated the ship 1000 miles
to a Scottish port with the aid OF a
six-penny atlas, the sun, and Polaris.
The crew of the 8,073-ton tanker
said they fired on the German
raider with their stern gun until
the ship caught fire and had to be
abandoned. Meanwhile the 38-ship
convoy scattered and the San De-
mentrio's men were left on their
own.
At daybreak, they sighted their
ship, burning but still afloat. The
men decided it would be better to
board the tanker than to risk freez-
ing to death in the lifeboats, and
fought the fire for II hours without
subduing it. Then an unusually big
sea broke over the rail, swept the
deck and put out the last of the
flames
