PROOF OF BIRTH
IS MUCH LACKING
IL Per Cent of Population
in New England Has No
Such Proof

Boston, May 29-(UP)-More than
II per cent Of New England's pop
ulation are without legal proof OF
birth, 1t was estimated today by
the Census Bureau Of the Depart
ment Of Commerce.
The bureau said that the neces-
sity of proving citizenship to quail
lily for social security benefits or to
obtain employment in war indus
tries has greatly accelerated demand
for birth transcripts.
OF New England's total 8,426,000
population, 100000 persons are
without birth certificates.
A breakdown by states of such
persons shows Massachusetts with
$4,000, Maine 100000, New Hamp-
shire 10000, Vermont 100000, Rhode
Island 10000 and Connecticut

EDUCATION OF
WAR WORKERS
is HUGE TASK
By ANTHONY @. DE LORENZO
fTT..e&nS mwn.~ CAoR FtmNwm~vanra&nva4l

BY ANTHONY q. DE LORENZO
UNITED Press Stan Correspondent
Detroit, May 90, (UP)-So you
want to be war worker?
There's more to 1t than filling Out
an application blank, getting time
card and reporting to the foreman
It requires'a great deal Of i.cssive
specialized training which, in some
instances, may extend through q
period Of several weeks.
The problem Of converting man.
power to war jobs requires the same
careful, intelligent planning which
characterized utilization Of bulky
machinery and equipment In the
drive to out-produce the Axis, ac-
cording to e. F. Fisher, general
manager Of Fisher Body, once the
largest producer Of automobile
bodies.
Today Fisher is In the midst Of an
aircraft and tank-building program
which at peak production viii re-
quire more than $4,000 workers, vir-
tually all Of whom will require spe-
cial instruction, including classroom
training on use Of slide rules, read
ing Of blue prints and operation Of
complex gauges.
Fisher workers who once were
trimmers or upholstery workers
have learned to rive aluminium.
Others whose job was working with
sheet metal now handle large slabs
of armor plate or operate special
lied machinery. Everybody is learn
ing new jobs by night as well as
day.
I'm fact" said Fisher, "I doubt
II there is one man in any Of our
plants today who is doing Job ex-
actly like he did in auto body build
ing days"
His firm already has established
training programs in 10 plant cities
They have two objectives-job in
struction of supervisors and worker
training. Candidates for supervisor
absorb knowledge quickly and inn
jobs are pocked for their ability to
part 1t to others. Training Of work.
ers is divided into two phases-pre-
job training, chiefly in vocational
and night schools, and on Job train
ing, successful completion of which
qualities an employe for full-time
job.
Still another successful program
for converting the industry's man
power to war jobs is the War Pro-
duction Bord's "job instructor train
ing" or J1T. The program, designed
to fill the urgent need for trained
manpower by instructing workers
on the, job, already has ben extend
ed to 10000 workers in rs Michigan
planst. BY July !, WPB officials hope
1t will reach nearly 100000 workers.
Under JIT, experienced men in a
plant, including superintendent,
craftsmen and others, are taught
how to pass along their skill to new
or inexperienced employees. Meth
DDS of obtaining peak efficiency
from workers Is described to them.
IF a worker is prepared carefully
for job by competent superb,
he never forgets It," said M. M.
Olander, director of WPB's Train
ing Within Industry branch. "And
moreover, he in turn can do htor-
ough-going Job Of passing the same
knowledge along to another new
conner"
