PREDICT AIR ASSAULT
Coincidentally, British mill
tary experts predicted that the
Germans would make an unpre-
cedented use of air-borne forces
in an attempt to smash their way
across the formidable barrier of
the Dnieper River, in the south
ern Ukraine.
Authoritative London quart
ers said the Germans had avoid
ed the mass use of parachutists,
troop-carrying planes and Gid
ers-such as they exploited in
the battle of Crete-to await
just such an emergency as the
Dnieper crossing.
German military dispatches
said the left wing of General
Won Rundstedt's army, estimated
at 100000 men, was advancing
against stiff resistance toward
the great bend of the Dnieper
River, site of the big industrial
city of Dnieperopetrovsk.
Advices reaching London indi-
Gated that Marshal Semeon
Budyenny had succeeded in
withdrawing a great many of his
troops across the river, but that
his forces were believed to be
weak in guns and depending too
much on old-fashioned horse
cavalry.
USE SPEED TROOPS
Hitler's field headquarters de-
clared that Nazi Schnelltruppen
("speed troopsD were success
fully attacking the few remain
ing bridgeheads on the West
bank OF the Dnieper still held
by the Russians, and it was evil
dent that the grand assault or
the new Soviet defense line was
about to begin.
German dispatches said that
Nazi siege guns were intensity

sia's big Black Sea port, and that
increased pressure was also be.
ing exerted on Kiev, the Ukraine
capital. Nazi aerial observers
said Odessa harbor was Uttered
with the burned wreckage OF
ships.
The Russians, noting bitter
all-night fighting along the en-
tire front conceded that the
Germans had advanced to the
Gomel sector, midway between
Smolensk and Kiev, as Maj
columns lunged eastward beyond
the Pinsk (Pripet) marshes in a
new salient.
FIGHT STUBBORNLY
"Our troops fought especially
stubbornly in the Novgorod and
Gomel directions the Soviet
communique said.
With the German drive to the
Novgrod sector, Leningrad faced
a three-headed onslaught. From
the west, other German columns
were striking along the Gulf OF
Finland from Estonia, capturing
Kingisepp, the rail gate to Len
ingrad, on Monday. From the
north, German and Finnish fore
es were pressing down from the
Karelian Isthmus, some rs miles
from the city.
The Russians declared, how
ever, that their Withdrawals
were orderly and marked by
savage resistance.

ENGINEERING
I'm DEMAND AT
u. OF FLORIDA
tnr Assaelnseal rressA


GAINESVILLE. Sept. 20 The
1941 edition of the college Fresh
man isn't letting his Uncle Sam
down.
AT least at the University of
Florida, many youngsters just
launching their college careers
are making ready for engineering,
no doubt hopeful that they can
be trained and sent INTO industry
to help break the much talked
about 'bottleneck" in defense
production caused by lack of
skilled technicians.
Dean Joseph We'll of the Col
lege of Engineering reports more
than a so ner cent increase in the
number of Freshmen enrolled in
the mechanical drawing classes.
That many sound harmless
enough, but a Freshman in the
university's general college makes
no gesture toward specialization
unless he indicates distinct pref
erences and has high school rec
ord to support his aspirations.
The 325 frosh enrolled in the
course is a huge jump over last
years 2l0 and Dean We'll views
the increase happily.
@Our government is clamoring
for trained engineers and tech
nicians qualified for the tremen-
dous demands Of this emergency,
and even when the war is over,
the engineers will be needed in
great numbers for the huge re-
building program" the dean de-
cIared

The office workers do not take
competitive examinations in APP
plying for jobs, Cooper explained.
and there is no question of the
normal method for civil service
where one of the three top-rank-
ers must be employed.
Families Don't Matter
In normal times, Cooper said,
the civil service ruled that no
two members of a family living
under the same roof could be en-
ployed in the service Later that
was changed to a ruling that no
two members of any individual
family could be employed.
In other words, he pointed out,
a grandfather, son and grandson
might all be employed if they
maintained separate families, or
if two of them lived together and
the third had his own establish
ment
As far as the complaint against
cousins, uncles, nephews and all
the other subdivisions of a family
working, Cooper said 100 of them
could work in the naval station or
any other government job if they
were able to secure employment.
Admits Hard Feeling
Here's what causes most OF
the hard feeling he said, "but
we can't help it.
IF woman comes to the labor
board and asks for a job, as a
typist, perhaps we don't have one.
We tell her so, and few days
later she learns that someone re-

Civil Service Operations
Fully Explained By Cooper,
Labor Board Recorder

Complaints against civil service
operations here, recently summed
up in a letter to Ehe Citizen, are
largely the result of ignorance of
the way in which the service rules
have been changed to meet emer-
gency conditions, A. B. Cooper,
labor board recorder, declared to-
day.
Admitting that some qualified
workers possibly have been passed
over, Cooper said the present
methods were dictated by the civil
service commission and President
Roosevelt.
They are set up, he explained,
to give Key WesterS the first
chance at local jobs, and to give a
maximum of speed.
Thus civil service rating from
other sections is ignored when
local jobs are under considera-
ton, not so much because the
government is interested in taking
Key Westers first, but because the
board feels it is inadvisable to
bring other people here into a
housing shortage.
Cant Paw Rent
"a clerk getting government
pay just can't afford to pay the
rents demanded here" Cooper
said. Even though some out
siders with rating may be estab-
lished here, we don't make any
exceptions. We can't"
Cooper said there is no local
register at the moment for typists
and stenographers. Some of those
who complained of failure to get
jobs have told The Citizen they
were on such registers.)
Under the present system, a
department head at the navy de-
partment has the authority either

WASHINGTON, Sept. TO-.
The navy department announced
that the battleship U.S.S. Mas
sachusetts will be launched Sep
TENDER 2S at the Bethlehem Steel
company's yard at Quincy, Mass,
in a colorful ceremony marking
another step in Americas naval
.re-armament program.
Secretary Of the Navy Frank
Knox has designated Mrs.
/ Charles Francis Adams, wife of
the former secretary of the navy,
as the sponsor for the ship nam
ed In honor of the State of Mas
sachusetts. Mrs. Adams also
/ served as sponsor of the sub
marine U.S.S Narwhal launched
at the navy yard, Portsmouth
En-. H, in 1929.
The Massachusetts,, the sixth
naval vessel to be assigned that
name, was authorized by con-
gress March n. 1884. and the
contract for her construction
was awarded December is,
1888. The keel of this mighty
vessel that is well on her way
toward joining her sisters in
the battle fleet was laid July
20. 1889.
The Massachusetts will have a
main battery of nine 16-inch
guns mounted in three turrets
as well as a battery of the latest
type anti-aircraft and secondary
broadside guns.
In the matter of engines the
Massachusetts is to be equipped
with turbines developing APP
proximately $4,000 horsepower
from oil-fired burners, giving a
designed speed in excess Of n
knots. The ship is 704 feet long,
with maximum beam Of 108 feet
and a mean draft Of 26 feet,
eight inches ut standard dis
placement She also will be
fully equipped to carry air
planes. The standard displace-
.inent Is about 35, 900 tons.
The Massachusetts, will be the
fourth batleship to be launched
under the capital ship expansion
program. The vessel that pre-
coded her down the ways was
the U.S.S. South Dakota, launch
ed June Z, at the yards Of the
New York Shipbuilding com
pany.
When finally placed in COM
mission seven months ahead OF
schedule because of the accel-
Grated pace Of the American
shipbuilding industry, the Mas

most powerful vessels afloat.

The army, he said, has other
uses for its land in the Fort Tay-

In any case, the captain told
Mayor Albury, the logical expan-
sion direction for the navy yard
is into the four blocks which

acquisition will be more than
repaid by the additional building
to be carried out by the navy.
Purchase Old Rumor
Rumors of the navy's intention
to acquire the land around the
courthouse have been current
here for months. Several months
ago, Captain Crenshaw admitted
his department had sought an
appraisal of the land, but he
said there was no immediate plan
for its use at that time.
Last week, one resident of the
