older workers during National En-
ployment Week Mr.. NeStOr said.
IF Michigan is to do its part in

There is place for the veterans and
workers past 40 in the war effort
There is a place for them in jobs for
which they already are fitted Mr.
Ne>tOr continued, and there is Il
place for them in job training courses
designed to build up the SkillS Of the
nations manpOwer.
While employment in many indus

May figure represented q gain of
327 900 for the month and 2299 900

May figure represented gain of
327 900 for the month and 2.299 900
for the year.
The principal factor in the ex-
pansion of nearly 100000 in nom
agricultural employment over the
year interval was the increase of
l,135.00 in manufacturing indus
tries" Secretary Perkins said. Fed
eral, State and local government
services, contract construction and
transportation and public utilities
also showed large gains, while a
smaller increase was reported in the
finance, service and miscellaneous
groups. In trade and mining there
were declines of 10000 and 1000,
respectively.
"Shortages of materials and lay
offs in plants converting their faci-
lities to war production continued to
cause employment reductions in
many durable and non durable in
dustries. Gains in industries geared
to the war effort, however. more
than offset these declines. For the
first time since last November, auto
mobile plants reported an employ
ment increase (5.6 per cent or 1900
workers. indicating a stepping up of
war production in converted plants.
The May indexes of factory en-
ployment 13O and payrolls 1926,
based on 1923-l925 as 100, were at
the highest levels on record. the
gains since May of last year being
81 and 1877 per cent respectively.
The payroll increase in manufac-
turing over the year was nearly four
times as large as the employment
expansion. due largely to increased
number of working hours. overtime
premiums, and wage-rate increases.
Employment in the Federal exec
utive service increased 78700 dur
ing May-7,400 inside the District
of Columbia. and 1900 outside
Federal employment has expanded
As per cent in the District, and 62
per cent outside during the past

Employment in the Federal exec
utive service totaled 209l, 900 in
May, with payrolls of 1891 ,645 900
Gains in agricultural en-
ployment were registered during the
year in all but two States-Michi
gan and Delaware. The largest
percentage increases, occurred in
Oregon, Arkansas, the District,

BOMBAY, July 1.--British troops

agreement on India's independence,
Chakravarthi Rajagopalachari, one
Of the leaders of the All-India Con-
gress, said yesterday as he departed
for a conference with Mohandas K.
Gandhi at Wardha.
Rajagopalachari, who has long
been an advocate of closer co-opera-
ton between the Congress Party and
the Moslem League, is now trying to
bring the two groups together on
the question of independence, since
their disagreement was one of the
chief reasons for the failure OF Sir
Stafford Grips mission. He already
has had lengthy discussions with the
Moslem leader, Mohammed Ali jim
nah.
Neither Rajagopalachari nor jim
nah would discuss the results OF
their talks, but Rajagopalachari ex-
pressed more hope than other
Indian leaders that an agreement
could be reached He said he was
going to Wardha at Gandhi's re-
quest.

On Drottningho|m
Intensive Search Mode
In Fear of Axis Efforts
To SmueeIe Soboteurs
BY the Associated Press,

JERSEY CITY, N. j.. July l.
More than 800 American and alien
refugees from Europe were detained
overnight on the Swedish exchange
ship Drottningholm because of fear
that the Axis powers might be at
tempting to smuggle saboteurs or
spies into this country in the guise
of friendly aliens.
Federal agents, including Army
and Navy intelligence officers, con-
ducting the most intensive search
ever held on any ship in New York
Harbor, had questioned only about
100 of the vessels 949 passengers
by 7:30 pm. yesterday, 10 hours
after it docked, and kept the re-
mainder on board overnight until
they could continue their check
today.
Americans Included.
Not even the 500 Americans
aboard were exempted from the
thorough probe of their credentials,
for. as one official put it:
when they land Germans here
in rubber boats che referred to the
recent landing of eight submarine
borne saboteurs on the East COAST
we're going to be sure they don't
send them over here de luxe. Many
of these Americans aboard have
been over there for ,any years.
Maybe some of them have been
indoctrinated with Nazi plans and
ideas"
Among the Drottningholm pas
sengers was Miss Ruth Mitchell,
sister of the late Brig. Gen. Billy
Mitchell
Miss Mitchell recounted the story
of her IA months in German con-
centration camps after her seizure
in Durbrovnik, an Adriatic port,
following the Axis invasion OF Yugo-
slavia in 1941.

The only way to beat Germany,
she said. was to bomb the country

render. This organization is now

For President Roosevelt she
brought a basket woven by the
women in the Liebenau camp near
Wurtemburg from the strings
which wrapped Red Cross food
packages received there.
Those food packages saved our

for them. the $50 British and Sc
