Shortage Of Skilled Workers
Offers Shipbuilding Problem

A third method is the distribution
to various yards of a nucleus of s,,.
pervisory personnel, drawn from
long-established shipyards. Experts
commented however, that the supply
of supervisory personnel already
was drawn pretty thin"
Worker shortage was the most
vital problem when the United
States set out to build a bridge Of
ships" to Europe in World war days,
L. S. Baier, inspector of floating
equipment for the army engineers
corps, said in a recent issue of the
magazine "The Military Engineer"
that this shortage was evident all
down the line, from the superinten.
dents to the lowest classification of
labor"
The fact that more shipyards ard
in operation today than when this
country undertook mass production
of ships at Hog Island and other
yards in World war days should
help, Baier said.

Census Bureau Estimates
5,llO,27O Persons Were
Without Jobs In March

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-R-The
Census Bureau estimated today that
5,110,270 persons were without jobs
of any kind, and looking for work
last March.
The figure was obtained by using
a five per cent c~ross-section of the
population enumerated in each of
the $4,000 census districts last
April. The bureau said that some
variation could be expected in a
final tabulation.
The preliminary calculation show
ed the population included 100,972,-
1876 persons IA years of age or over,
of whom 4535O,430 were employed
in private jobs or nonemergency
government work; ~5,110,270 had
neither public nor private jobs and
were looking for work, and $780,
062 were employed on public emer-
gency projects - WPA, NYA or

o-Strike Pledge Giuen
By Metal Trades Union

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-RNThe
metal trades division of the Amerl.
can Federation of Labor pledged
itself today to call no strikes in
defense industries if employers
would agree to arbitate all dis
putes without stoppage of work.
The division is composed Of Is
unions whose members range from
general laborers to highly skilled
machinists, engineers and drafts
men. Shipbuilding is one of the
vital defense industries employing
metal tradesmen.
John Frey, president of the di-
vision, told a press conference the
total membership of the 10 unions
was more than $50, 600, but thai
he could not estimate how many
were employed on defense jobs. )

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. Up -
Shipping experts said today that
avoiding a bottleneck in skilled la
Dor would be a major problem in
carrying out President Roosevelt's
program for building an emergency
fleet of 200 cargo carriers.
At least three means of quickly
augmenting the supply of shipbuild-
ing artisans probably will be used,
these sources said.
The first is the apprentice sys-
TEN. The existing big s%hipyards, al
ready under the pressure of con-
tracts, have been expanding their
appretentice schools for more than
a year.
.,pprentice schools for more than
ing" system advocated by Sidney
Hillman, a ,co-director Of the nation
al defense program. His plan works
out something like this: A highly
| skilled mechanic, capable of doing
eight different types of work, takes
over eight unskilled workers, train
ing each Of them in n of his eight
skills.

Queen Prince, negro, who was
arrested at Seventh and Nixon

But the jailer says that ever

CUT RUMANIA
OFF FROM WORLD
CONTINUED From Page One>

movements have been under way
on a large scale for the last week.
Soviet quarters in Belgrade de-
clared the homegoing was linked
with new military ,7elopments
in Rumania and Hungary and Ger
man troop movements toward Dob
ruja."
(Dobruja, a post-World war pro-
vince of Rumania. lies on the
Black sea, south of the Danube es.
tuary which forms its boundary
with Bessarabia, former Rumanian
territory now coded to Russia. The
southern part of Dobruja has been
ceded to Bulgaria in ann Axis-dic-
tated settlement with Rumania.)
Leaflets Distributed
The call to the four ENJOYS was
said to have come shortly after
the Bulgarian communist p y
distributed leaflets in Sofia saying
that Soviet Russia will not allow
a single German soldier to set foot
on Bulgaria."
bulgaria is a potential avenue
for offensive action either against
the Dardanelles and Turkey or
against Greece which has repealed
the armies of Italy, Germany's
Axis partner.)
Diplomatic dispatches from Bu-
charest, the Rumanian capital,
said all Rumanian towns on the
Danube facing Bulgaria in the $50
mile stretch between Turnu-Sever-
in and Girugiu had been emptied
to permit billeting Of German
troops.
A connection was also seer be-
tween the journeys of the ENJOYS
and the current visit to Vienna OF
Bulgaria's premier. Bogdan Phil.
off, ostensibly to consult an emf
nent physician.
Philoff, who was accompanied
by the German minister to Bull
garia-ostensibly as a gesture of
courtesy was said in Bulgarian
circles to have gone to Vienna
upon invitation from Berlin.
Bulgarians feel that their coun-
try has been given a choice be-
tween permitting passage of Ger
man troops to Greece and Turkey
or facing a full-dress invasion by
Nazi troops.
Bulgaria is reported making I'm
specified military preparations but
the odds are that she would per-
NIT German passage after protest.
From all other Balkan capitals
came reports of military prepa-
rations, including news from An
kara that Turkey expects to hold
her %conscripts under arms another
year because of Exceptional cir
cumstances."
Advices from Salonika said
Greece was calling r,ore men to
the army.
It was reported from Yugoslavia
that reserve officers there were
being held beyond their scheduled
rehabilitation time.
Other reports said the Ruman-
ian army would have 300, 900 men
under arms by January 20, under
orders of German army command

LA TOILETTE RAPS
F. RS WAR TALK
Former Wisconsin Governor
Warns u. S. Not To Enter
European Conflict

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-R-Philip f.
La Toilette, former governor of WIS
consin, declared tonight that the
British do not intend to be pounded
to pieces unless we get in this war
and get in now"
In a radio (MutuaD speech prepar-
ed for delivery under auspices of
the America First Committee, La
Toilette asserted that there are al
ready rumblings in Britain from
both the right and the left, like those
that heralded the collapse Of France.
"Watch out lest our great coun-
try get into a thirty year war and
once in, then find ourselves alone
with the impossible task of fighting
the whole of Europe and Asia, and
fighting not in this hemisphere
where we can be supreme, but fight
ing with expeditionary forces 1000
miles away in Europe and 5000 miles
away in ASIA"
La Toilette has been al occasional
critic Of the Roosevelt adminlstra-
ton since he organized the National
~Progressives of America party in
1888. He is a brother Of Senator
Robert M. La Toilette Prog-Wis)
and supported many of the Presl-
dents policies during the early days
of the administration.
"There is a block of opinion In
Britain, and in high places, which
has closer ties with Germany than
with the United States" he contin-
ued. tNever forget that as late as
February, 1899, representatives OF
British and German industry met at
Dusseldorf. There they drew up a
trade treaty the substance of which
was to gang up and drive American
trade out of Central and South
America.
The invasion of Czecho-Slovakia
interrupted that plan. But that it
could have been made at all, and
especially after all that Hitler had
done, should war; every thinking
American to be on guard"
La Toilette who served three
terms as governor, accused Presi-
dent Roosevelt of IAN attempt to
frighten us" in his fireside talk a
week ago and commented:
Recent statements from the
British cabinet, the last speech of
Lord Lothian, and reports of u
correspondents let through the Brit
ish censor make clear that the Brit
ish make no bones of stating they
cannot win without the full and
complete aid of the United States,
and that the British do not intend
to be pounded to pieces unless we
get into this war and get in now.
when the history of these days
is written, 1 am sure we will find
exactly as desperate appeals-per-
haps even misunderstanding in
on the White House from Britain,
those that came last June just
before the fall of France, and which
led the President to make his fam

to lead prisoners to the ear.
By nightfall the troops had &C.
cupied most of the southern half
OF the region, and dove into the
maze of gulleys in the area for
overnight protection.
Tank operations consisted of con-
slant feinting and wheeling in the
rear of Italian positions. British
officers said they had expected
sitter resistance from Italian
tanks. but that only a few entered
the action.
Of those that did on this first
day, six, were shattered by British
guns.
Italian artillery appeared to be
relied upon mostly by the defend
ers.
Everything Set
All Saturday morning the Aus

AS the British had done before

Bayonet charges played an i'm
portant part in the capture but the
Australians said not many Italians
fought it out.
The appearance of these gleam-

Privates took as many as 80
prisoners individually by merely
whirling their bayonets, they re-
lated.
These troops had an eerie ap-
pearance to observers with their
knitted cowls protecting them
against sand storms, and as in the
last great war they didn't consider
it enough to obtain detectives set
for them, but usually charged on
to gain additional ground.
Italian resistance, the British

One fascist officer kept shooting
his revolver, they said, until it was
shot from his hand. Others resist

I came across one group OF ex-

the sand and rocks of the Wadi
fortress which they had taken.
They had been told to get a rest
