Fifth Columlnists Try To Secure Govt. Jobs
Arthur s. Fleming of Civil Service Commission Has Advised Congress Government Is Not Tak-
 ing Enough Precautions

Washington, Jan. 29.-(UP)-- Fifth column agents have made nu- merous efforts to get federal de- fense jobs and the government stiil is not taking sufficient precautions in filling those positions, Arthur S.. Fleming of the Civil Service Com mission has advised Congress.
 One of the most notable efforts of foreign agents and spies to work their way into secret defense activt- ties was made at the Pearl Harbor Naval Base in Hawaii, he told a House appropriations sub-commit- tee which published the testimony today.
 Fleming's testimony was given be- fore the recent disclosure that the Civil Service Commissions own cor1- fidential personnel records had been rified. A commission employe and an official of local direct mail ad- vertising listing firm have been ar- rested.
 The commission was called upon to find 1,2O0 workers for Pearl Har- bor in 18 days recently, Fleming said.
 "For my own information I read some of the investigators reports and all I can say is that it is very, very fortunate that we made the in- vestigations in those cases" Fleming testified. Otherwise we would have had over in Pearl Harbor some in- dividuals who would have been de- lighted to have been there but who would have had no business being there.
 242,OOO Jobs Coming.
 Fleming said that the number of defense jobs to be filled by June 30 will approximate 242,000. With a normal turnover of 25 per cent, about 3O1,0O0 placements must be made. Twenty thousand more air. plane mechanics will be needed by 1942, he added.
 Supporting his request for funds to operate the Maritime Commis- sion, Chairman Emory s. Land told
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-01-29

the committee that there might be isolated cases in the future of Nazis seizing one or a number of Ameri- can merchant ships through fifth column activity but that there is no danger of widespread defections in the U. s. merchant fleet.
 Hitler is not going to take over the American merchant marine" l" Admiral Land testified. T tell you here and now that the Communists, NaziS or FaScistS are not going to take over our merchant marine. There are isolated cases, yes"
 Director Clarence A. Dykstra of selective service told the committee that his office is planning an ex- pertinent whereby thousands of conscientious objectors will perform -cQlnbatant services without any pay. At the present these objectors would be paid the regular $21 a month allotted to any selectee. He anticipated 10000 conscientious ob- jectors among the first 100000 men inducted into service.
 The committee also was told:
 By Budget Director Harold R. Smith: That President Roosevelt's first two reorganization plans had saved, as of June 30, 1940, $25,- 332, 147,

STATE PHYSICIANS
 CHECK 'DRAFTEES'

All blood specimens collected from men called before local draft boards for physical examination are being tested for syphilis by the State De- partment of Health, according to Friend Lee Mickle, ScD., Director of the Bureau of Laboratories who pointed out in the regular weekly broadcast that no other laboratories in the state have been approved for this purpose by Selective Service Headquarters. It is estimated that before June 15 about 15,000 blood examinations in excess of the usual routine tests for syphilis will have been made.
 Additional equipment and per- sonnel have been supplied so that these emergency specimens can be tested promptly Doctor Mickle re- ported. When completed the find- ings from such a large number of individuals should give valuable ad- ditional information regarding the prevalence of syphilis in Connecti- cut. This will supplement the in- formation that is being obtained in the routine day-by-day follow up of cases of the disease and the cases uncovered by standard laboratory blood tests made on applicants for the marriage license. The goal Of all this work is the elimination Of syphilis from Connecticut.
 Tn explaining the care with which blood samples are handled to avoid any possibility of error. Doctor Mickle said that when positive or doubtful findings have been ob. tained on selective Service speci. mems such reports are referred 70 Major William D. Smith. State Med. ical ofiieer, at Delectlve Service in Hartford. When results are positive a second test b arranged for the purpose Of veFifis cation. When tho findings are eiis tIFely negative for syphilis, the orig lnal Of . fouFspaFt combined history form and laboratory report ls mailed io the chairman of the ioeal draft board.

HARTFORD STRIKE
 TO BE ARBITRATED

 With Employees

Hartford, Conn, Jan. 29-(UP)- Striking employees, management representatives and state labor de- partment officials meet late today in an effort to settle a strike of more than 1900 workers at the Un- 1erwood Elliott Fisher plant.
 A mass meeting of strikers voted to continue the walk-out until the controversy was settled. A petition of the strikers asked increased wages, vacation with pay and a cash bonus for 1940. The strike began when the management's reply was posted. This statement was not dis closed.
 Company officials estimated the strikers at about 1900, while strike officials siad more than that were out, but declined to give the num- Der. There was no picketing.
 The strike was complicated be- cause there are three American Federation fo Labor unions in the firm, and an independent employe organization. The grievance com- mittee of the AFL unions did not authorize the strike, and commit tee members continued to work.
