Right now, the most serious air
plane bottleneck is in turning out
motors and propellors, and in some
instances plants engaged in this pro-
duction are working from "A to 43
hours weekly to take up this lag.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics says
that aircraft workers on a whole are
averaging As hours weekly.
Lengthening the work week pre-
sumably would help, but to what
extent is problematical, according to
the Labor Department. Long hours,
it is contended, tend to lower effici-
ency and reduce production, and in
the end, defeat their own aim.
1t is generally agreed that the
growing shortage of skilled labor is
due largely to the fact that ap-
prentice training has been at such
low ebb during the depression
years, and Labor Department ex-
perts are convinced that an increase
in apprenticeships will have to be
undertaken as one of the principal
steps in creating the defense ma

u. 5. Again Seeking
To Deport Strecker
As Communist
Man Saved by Supreme
Court Arrested Under
1910 Alien Act
By trs Associated Press.

By TIE Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 8.-The
Government reopened the widely
publicized Joseph George Strecker
"Communist" case, once linked with
efforts to deport Harry Bridges,
California labor leader.
Mr.. Strecker, saved from deporta-
ton as Communist by the Supreme
Court in 1889, was arrested yester-
day In Hot Springs. Ark, and sent
to New Orleans, where immigration
officials said he might still be re-
turned to his native Austria under
the 1910 Alien Act.
Eugene Kessler, director of i'm
migration and naturalization for the
New Orleans district, said:
He will be given an administra-
tive hearing at a time not vet
decided before immigration officials
here on charges that as an alien he
Is member of the Communist
party which advocates overthrow
of our existing Government by force
and violence, and therefore subject
to deportation.
Upheld by Supreme Court.
G. A. Stanfield, Mr.. Strecker's at
torney, said in Little Rock he
believed the revived action was based
on section of the 1910 Alien Act
providing that any alien who at
any time had been a member of the
Communist party was subject to
deportation.
The previous law, under which
Strecker was prosecuted, did not
apply if an alien had ceased to be
member, as Mr. Strecker claimed.
The Supreme Court upheld Mr..
Strecker's contention that the fact
he once joined the Communist party
was not proof that he advocated
violent overthrow of the Govern
ment'
Came to L. S. in 1912.
Mr.. Strecker came to this country
IN 1912 and worked as a laborer until
he opened restaurant in Hot
Springs in 1919 In 1888, he said,
he went to a Communist meeting
and, when asked for so cents, paid
1t and was given a card.
Subsequently, when he applied for
naturalization, Government agents
arrested him as a Communist, and
for six years he fought his case
through the courts.
About that time various groups
were agitating for the deportation
of Mr.. Bridges. C. I. o. longshore-
mems leader, on the charge that he
was not only a Communist but had
frequently advocated overthrow of
the Government.
The Labor Department said no
decision would be reached in the
Bridges case until the Supreme
Court ruled on the Strecker litiga-
ton.
