Responsible observers have
grounds TO believe that neither
Germany nor Rumania have APP

Job Freezing Order
Works No Hardship,
Civil Service Asserts
Many New Positions
To Offset Disadvantages,
Statement Declares

The recent executive order which,
with limited exceptions, prevents
employees from leaving defense agen-
cies for positions elsewhere, will
work no hardship, the Civil Service
Commission said today.
1T is anticipated that organi-
rational expansion in the various
defense agencies will provide many
new positions which will afford OPP
portunity for advancement Of en-
ployes affected by the order which
will more than offset any temporary
disadvantage TO the individual
through loss of opportunity TO be
considered for positions in other
services" the commission explained.
Under the order. defense agency
employees can neither take new eX-
aminationS nor be certified from
registers for which they already
have qualified, unless the approval
of their superior officers is obtained.
1t was intended TO prevent wide
spread transfers. and holsters a
similar order issued a year ago. A
similar problem existed in 1917
when the first World War force was
being built up and was met in the
same way, the commission said
today in the statement, which was
prompted by complaints at the
freezing"
The commission also announced
today that cylinder pressmen are
needed at the Government Printing
Office. and that examinations are
being opened for mineral economists
in the fields of minerals, Goals and
petroleum.

an attack last night on the naval
base at Brest, the Air Ministry re-
ported today.

parted company with the Bismarck
soon after the Hood was sunk.

RIO DE JANEIRO, June Ii
Phillip Williams, secretary of the
United States Embassy, flew today
30 Recife to obtain first hand testi-
mony from survivors on the sinking
of the American freighter Robin
Moor.
He was ordered to board a plane
by Ambassador Jefferson Gallery
after reports were received that the
ship had been torpedoed by Ger
man U-boat He will take desposi-
tons from rescued Americans eX-
pected to arrive at Recife late to-
night aboard the Brazilian freighter
Ozorio.
Capt Waldemar Lucio Pereira
of the Ozorio, who rescued II sur
vivors, radioed the Associated
Press yesterday that the Ameri-
can ship was "torpedoed by
German submarine" The White
House urged the Nation to delay
Judgment until all the facts were
known
The sending of the secretary of
Embassy indicated the Importance
attached to the case, since there is
n United States consul at Recife
who could perform the task.
While the OZorio neared Recife,
other vessels in waters off Brazil
kept lookout for further survivors
or signs of disaster. Three weeks
after the sinking, only one of the
four lifeboats had been found.
Discovery of toys in or near a
floating suitcase limited that the
three women and children aboard
the Robin Moor were lost.
There was no certainty the suit
case or toys belonged to some one on
the Robin Moor. but the three
women and the child probably would
have been the first off the sinking
ship and the childS toys might have
been in the luggage hurriedly put
IN a lifeboat.

conference yesterday that men who
had returned to work in the North
American plant would get their
regular pay this week. If any in
crease was granted as a result of
mediation he said. it would be
retroactive as of May /.
In this connection. the President
said recognition as representatives
of the employees would be accorded
to Richard FrankenSteen and other
national officers of the United Au-
tomobile Workers and the C. I. O.,
but would not be so accorded to the
strike leaders of the union local.
Property to be Returned.
Plant owners, he went on. would
get back their property as soon as
it was possible for the Government
to turn it over to them.
This was in line with the action
of the Senate yesterday in amend
ing a proposal by Senator Connally
to provide that seized defense plants
should be returned to their owners
whenever the President determined
that the plant could be operated
privately lin q manner consistent
with the needs of national defense"
Sponsors predicted speedy Senate
approval today of the Connally
measure. which would give the
President express statutory author
ity to take over plants where there
was an existing or threatened fail
ure of defense production because
of strikes, lockouts or other causes.
This legislation merely would put
in statutory form authority which
the President exercised as COM
mander in chief, under his declara-
ton of an unlimited emergency, in
taking over the North American
plant. Senator ByrneS said it was
his opinion that the pending meas
ure amounted to no more than a
congressional affirmation of policy
Opposes Byrd Policy.
Nevertheless, he and others OPP
posed an attempt by Senator Byrd,
Democrat, of Virginia to incorporate
as a congressional policy declara-
ton a condemnation of strikes in
defense industries.
Senator Byrd asked the Senate to
strengthen the Connally measure by
saying that it is the sense of Con-
greSs that strikes in industries that
affect the national defense effort
are contrary to sound public policy
and they are hereby condemned.
Senator Murdoch. Democrat, of
Utah suggested that the condemna-
ton include "bottleneckS" in sup
plies of aluminium and steel where
he said industrialists had been at
fault.
Senator La Toilette, Progressive,
OF Wisconsin announced he would
ask that the Byrd statement include
a recognition of the Importance of
collective bargaining. This caused
Senator Byrnes to move the recess
until today.
In the House, leaders were hope
full of speedy action once the Con-
nally proposal reaches that cham
Der. However, there was some pos
sibility of delay because of techni-
cal reasons.
Representative Hoffman, Repub-
lican, of Michigan introduced yes
terday legislation to require the reg
istration of labor organizations hav-
ing members engaged in interstate
or foreign commerce and to make
them file annual financial state
ments. The bill would make sit
down strikes illegal.

WASHINGTON, June War department spokes
men announced today that if the government takes
over the North American aircraft plant at Ingewood,
Cal, an army officer will assume complete control of
its production facilities and all workers will be protected
against molestation from strikers.
The department hopes that the majority of the
plant workers will return to work voluntarily, and
orders have gone forward to California garrisons to be
ready to surround the plant with troops to insure
returning employees against violence.
Details of how the department plans to operate
the plant were not disclosed but officials indicated that
federal troops would guard all entrances and keep away
pickets, demonstrators and strikers.
Reliable reports said that approximately 81 per
cent of the plant employees would return to work they
assured military protection.
Officials conceded that to operate the plant without
its regular of workers probably would be difficult
as an acute shortage of skilled aviation labor is
apparent.
Some consideration has been given to a proposal
that those returning to work voluntarily be banketed
