((( Gets Info Frying
 Pan Buf Luckily Gefs
 Out With No 5(orfhinQ
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, May - The Civilian Conservation Corps has been on the griddle-not put there by any politicians but by the boys themselves.
 What got the corps into the fry ing pan in the first place and how it got out of it without stepping into the fire is a thumbnail Am erican saga.
 It all started because youngsters without jobs were thick in some sections of the country tthe East and South particularly and jobs without youngsters were thick in other sections (the West and North west particularly Since the jobs in the western forests, parks and on the roads couldn't be brought east and south, the boys in the East and South had to be sent west.
 So what happened? From that land of milk and honey that stretches from Vancouver to San Diego there went up the darnedest rebel yell you ever heard.
 This chow is terrible!" the boys chanted. We can't eat this slumw
 The boys from the South bel lowed we want grits and gravy. The. boys from New Mexico and parts of Texas had to have chilli and beans. Some of the eastern boys screamed for spaghetti and meat balls.
 The boys from Louisiana want ed cane syrup-to heck with that juice from the maple trees. Yer monters wouldn't eat sorghum. To youth from the COW states, lamb chops at IS cents apiece were just goat meat" When one of the wiser brothers explained that it wasn't goat, it was sheep, dis dainful C-man said Yeah, well now I know about that guy who couldn't tell the sheep from the goats. He'd been eatin' this stuff"

WASHINGTON-The President has taken no pubic stand on the Vinson anti-strike bill, but he drop ped a clue to his attitude during a recent luncheon with AFL chief Dan Tobin.
 The genial, -thatched boss of the teamsters' union is one of Roosevelt's closest labor friends. Also. one of the most outspoken. He bluntly denounced the bill as a re- actionary attack on labor, and warned the President that if it be- came law it would have bad effect on the defense program.
 You can't legislate a working man into staying on a job ii he wants to quit" Tobin argued. And that's just what this bill amounts to- It is neither constitutional nor necessary. realize that strike can be serious hazard to the de- fense program, but restrictive legis- lation against unions isn't the answer.
 "Furthermore. the mediation board you have set up is perform ing splendidly. It has settled every major strike turned over to it with out delay. What more can Con- gress ask? Actually, this strike slt- uation isn't as serious as some anu labor congressman want the country to believe. They are making pig hullabaloo about strikes for the real purpose of cracking down on the workers
 When Tobin finished, the Presi- dent, who had been listening silent ly, remarked quietly, You neednt worry about the bill becoming law Dan"
 Tobin is convinced that Roosevelt meant he was ready to use his veto power if that became necessary

LANSIN Jan. 25.lGather
round, girls. and meet an eligible
bachelor destined to make his
mark in Michigan politics.
He is Philip John Neudeck, who
at 40 years of age relinquished a
fast-growing law practice in De-
troit to take a 5000 per year job
as secretary to the liquor control
commission.
His appointment last week came
as a surprise 10 politicians who
have been around Lansing for a
long time, since he never before
had a state post of any kind.
In fact, he scarcely ever stirred
a ripple In politics unless it was In
1888 when he ran for circuit judge
and finished twentieth, or when
he failed to beat John d. Dingell
for the Congressional nomination
in 1886.

1898 Skilled Workers
On W.P. A. Not Being Used

The Works Progress Administra-
ton said today that ISL 1923 of its
skilled workers are not being hired
in the defense program, despite in
dustry's needs and the shortage of
such workers.
Howard o. Hunter, acting W. p A.
commissioner, said that these me-
chanics and other industrial pro-
duction workers are either now on
w. P. A. rolls or are unemployed
and have been certified as eligible
In what is to be known as the
Defense Industries Register"
Besides this number, an inventory
showed that there are $4,000 with
partial Skills who can be trained
quickly and another 81 1000 who are
now attending classes in the De-
fense Vocational Training Project
In the District 513 are in the regis
ter, 267 are taking the training
course and 529 are said to be suitable
for training.
Mr.. Hunters statement follows a
letter by President Roosevelt to the
Office of Production Management
calling for a 24-hour-a- day, seven
day-a-Week basis for industrial de-
fense production. He said the coun-
try should be further combed" for
men with experience on machines
being used in the defense effort.
Mr.. Hunter said the list of avail
able workers with the w. P. A. was
''in sense hand-picked,' since the
qualifications of each man had been
checked. The names, addresses and
occupations of the workers are avail
able to employers either through
local w. P. A. units or the United
States Employment Service Offices.
