urged civilian employers to as
sure workers shifting to war
plants that they would not lose
their seniority rights when they

Mr.. Roosevelt pointed out that the
Selective Service act gave protec-
ton to men leaving civilian employ
ment for the Army and Navy, and
declared:
II think the same protection should
be accorded to worker, wherever
possible, who leaves his job to ac-
cept employment to help with the

Il feel that employers in civilian

said, a battle may develop which

in every theater except North Africa
and had assumed the offensive
everywhere.

Gen. Arnold said the problem was
intensified for the Allied air forces
commanded by Maj. Gen. James H
Doolittle because of the long supply

command did not believe it was
possible for the Axis to meet for long
the increasing strength of Allied air
forces without assigning the bulk OF
all German air power to the Medi-
terranean.
Germans Better-Than Japs.
Here in Africa we are up against
a cross section of the whole German
aerial might" Gen. Arnold said.
Out of this may come the big air
battle which almost certainly will
determine supremacy In the air over
the Mediterranean, and possibly will
determine aerial supremacy over
Europe"
Gen. Arnold said that without any
intent to disparage the skill of Jap

equipment, he could report that the
American airmen were meeting a
