10000 UnskiIled

Approximately 10000 Of these

estimates. The remainder must
have had AT least some degree OF
technical training.
How many more workers will
be hired later in the year is q
question which will be answered
more by the supply of workers
and materials than by the de-
mands of the employers.
1.-THE whole question Of how
high factory employment will
rise depends on what extent the
government will curtail civilian
production" declared Willis Hall
OF the BOARD of Commerce.
"Of one thing you may be
sure. employers here will hire
all the skilled men they can
get, once defense work gets into
full swing.

GREAT DICTATOR AT LOEW'S POLL
Charley ChapIin's First TaIkie Opens Tomorrow
 With Paulette Goddard

Everyone will soon be laughing again, for Charlie Chaplin, the king of the comedians, comes to Loew's Poli tomorrow in ''The Great Dicta- tor", in which he talks for the first time on the screen, and performs as a dancer also. This is positively the first showing of 'The Great Dicta- tor" at regular prices!
 In this new hit, Chaplin truly brings to the scren a bowling three ring circus. In the long catalogue of surprises and comedy inventions of "The Great Dictator" Chaplin per- petrates @ masterful travesty on an easily recognized ruler. But more than that, 1t is Chaplin, the timid little man, looking at power, warily eyeing the big shot. It is the ancient privilege of clowns.
 The beloved little figure with his derby, his tiny mustache, his fioppy trousers and elongated shoes Gall somewhat modified for the sake oi realism in "The Great Dictator') has been pioneer, a creator and an inventor. He still IS in the new story he tells on the screen. Charlie is the quiet little man who wants to be left alone in the ghetto. In his bar Der shop, he strives almost pathetic ally to please. He speaks, but ii frightened monosyllables. He just wants to be left alone.
 And then he is Hynkel, the raging neurotic dictator. He raves and rants and emits the most violent of gut. tural explosives.
 "The Great Dictator" has a great cast in support of Chaplin-there are Paulette Goddard, Jack Oakie Henry Daniell, Reginald Gardiner Billy Gilbert, Emma Dunn, Maurice Moscovich and many others.
 Don't miss Charlie Chaplin's new comedy, for 1t will leave you posi- lively limp with laughter.
