Advises Against
AboIishing N. Y. A.;
Lists ID Needs
By J. A. O'LEARY.
Earlier Story on Page A-6.)

NEarller story on rage A-6.)
Establishment of a national
man power board is the high
light of a 14-point program for
meeting the labor requirements
of war industries recommended
by Sidney Hillman, head of the
labor division of the War Pro-
duction Board, and revealed to-
day at the Senate National Youth
Administration hearings.
Although advising the Education
and Labor Committee against abol-
ishing N. Y. A. and other Govern
ment agencies helping to mobilize
| industrial workers, Mr.. Hillman re-
j vealed that one Of the IA recon-
mendations was:
That the President issue an ex-
! ecutive order centralizing control OF
all Federal agencies engaged in de-
Tense training"
Another was that the United States
Employment Service handle the re-
cruiting and placement of industrial
workers. under the direction of the
Labor Division Of w. P. B. Discus
sion of these prof. osals touching
N. Y. A. directed attention to the re-
manning recommendations in the
Hillman report, which included the
following:
Directions should be sent to all
war contractors that all skilled
craftsmen must be employed at jobs
utilizing their best skills. Use of a
staff of plant inspectors to insure
compliance with these directions.
Compulsory Acceptance.
The report added that provision
must be made for compulsory ac-
ceptance by plant management OF
the inspectors recommendations as
to utilization of workers and training
of supervisory personnel.
All procurement officers and per-
sons placing contracts should be d.
rected to keep informed on labor
supply In the communities in which
they are planning to place contracts
The labor division should be con-
suited in the early stages Of con-
tract negotiation.
The w. p. B. should set up the
mechanism necessary to establish
priorities of production items OF
equipment and priorities of plants
manufacturing such equipment In
order that proper labor priorities
may be determined
Authority should be obtained for
transferring work among employers
| in accordance with the needs of war
production. Such authority should
include provision for protection OF
seniority and other rights of work.

Mead Urges Home. Guard
OF Deferred SeIectees
By the Associated Press.

Organization of a home guard to
be recruited from men having slight
physical defects and who have been
rejected or deferred by draft boards
was proposed today by Senator
Mead, Democrat, of New York. The
organization would be on a volun-

THE establishment of a military

very effective in guarding our coasts,
our international boundaries and
strategic and essential properties
and projects within the United

Tirpifz Reported Hidden
In .Fjord Near Trondheim

By.CGhle to The Star. ~
LONDON, April 2.-Air recon-
naissance by the Royal Air Force
has revealed that the German bat
tleship Tirpitz is lying in a care
fully selected hideout in Aafjord,
approximately so miles northwest
of Trondheim.
Photographs show her position TO
be so well protected that nothing
but an extremely accurate attack
with heavy bombs, from a great
altitude, would be likely to cripple
her. On the north she is protected
by a long, high ridge and she is
lying so close to precipice on the
south side of that ridge that tor
pedo-bombers or dive-bombers could
not attack, an anti-torpedo boom
protects her from the west and
south, and other high ground, pre-
sumably bristling with guns, makes
low-level torpedo or low-level bomb
ing attack from those directions
difficult.
Due to her heavy deck-plating
only heavy-caliber bombs given
great acceleration by a drop OF
between $4,000 and 10000 feet would
be likely to hurt her badly.
While the Tirpitz is paid at
tention" in her present berth, it
thus seems likely that her destruc-
ton, which is now Of the most
urgent Importance, will have to be
accomplished at sea. The coming
of bright nights should help in this
task, Just as it would help the
Tirpitz If she managed to get away
undecided for a convoy raid.

Bulgaria S King Boris
Is Reported on Way
To Meet Hitler
His Country's Job With
Axis Armies This Spring
Is Due to Be Topic
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERN, Switzerland, March 23.-
King Boris of Bulgaria was reliably
reported en- route to Berlin today to
discuss Bulgaria's job with the Axis
armies on the Near Eastern front
this spring and his country's ambi-
tions to become the guardian power
of the Balkans"
Boris was expected to confer with
Adolf Hitler and Hitler's ace diplo-
mat, Franz Won Papen. German Am
bassador to Turkey. who is en- route
to a conference with the Fuehrer
Meanwhile, Turkeys Ambassador
to Germany, Hueshev Gerede, ar
rived in Istanbul to join his coun-
try's ENJOYS to Rumania, Spain and
Iran in Foreign Office talks.
Most foreign military observers
expressed the conviction that Bull
garia would enter the war actively
if Turkey became involved, for Tur-
key is Bulgaria's traditional enemy
An attempted Axis drive this spring
to gain the oil fields of Baku and
the use of the Dardanelles for trans
port would bring Turkey to the
necessity of choosing whether to
fight or to yield concessions to the
Axis.
The Italian propaganda ministry
spokesman some months ago ac-
knoWledged the presence in Bull
garia of a considerable number of
Axis troops

venienced, one Swiss correspondent
said. One authoritative German
was quoted as saying the war with
Russia was the main thing and
"all other problems will have to
wait"
"Rumors which speak of new arbi-
tration (of the hungarian -Ruman-
ian dispute) or a change of the
previous one are unfounded," this
source said.
A special dispatch to the Berner
Tageblatt, however. said Rumania,
Slovakia and Croatia had formed "a
sort of little entente directed against
Hungary"
Create Common Front.
Around Hungary new ring has
been established which this time is
not based upon Paris" the dis
patch said To-day these three
southeastern nations have created q
common front against Hungary"
In London, Reuters political
commentator suggested King Boris
trip to Berlin might be connected
with the question of Bulgarian aid
for Germany or "Hitler's plans for
an attack on Turkey"
The same source, commenting on
the movements of Won Papen and
Gerede, said: These journeyings
probably mark the opening of Hit
ler's normal spring diplomatic and
political offensive, which usually
precedes German military action by
four to eight weeks"

The Foreign Policy Association
said yesterday that number Of
European postwar planners believe
that a strong, but peace-minded
Russia would oe a bulwark for the
weak countries of Central Europe

The report said the planners felt
this would allow such countries to

ciently long to attain the level of
political development and economic
advancement needed to assure sta

The association added that one
of the striking features of its survey
