SCHOOL TEACHER
 HAS DISAPPEARED
Gordon B. Trowbridge of
 RichfOrd, Vt., May Have Met Foul Play

Richford, Vt., May 4-(UP)-A theory that Gordon B. Trowbridge 67, missing retired Massachusetts school teacher and garage owner may have been robbed and slain was given credence by investigators today.
 Friends said Trowbridge had set aside about $500 with which to buy livestock but 1t was not known how much of this he carried when he left home March IA to meet a horse trader. He failed to keep the appointment. No large sum of cash was found in his house.
 The mystery deepened Thursday when Charles Guilmette, GA, killed himself with a shotgun on the farm where he and Trowbridge lived.
 Most promising clue uncovered by State Investigator Almo Franzoni %aG some small, charred bones found under bridge near a pond about a mile from the farmhouse where the former Medford, Mass. resident had gone to rusticate. The bones were discovered while 200 volunteers searched the countryside yesterday.
 President Theron Tirrell of the South Weymouth (Mass.) Savings bank offered reward for clues leading to the discovery of Trow- bridge who was a neighbor in South Weymouth while teaching physical education in Brockton schools about 25 years ago.
 Tirrell said he understood that the farm, when placed on a paying bases, was to have been turned over to Guilmette.
 The bones. sent to Burlington for analysis, were found near Brook road about a mile from the farm house.
 A pond bordering the Trowbridge farm was dragged again yesterday without success.
 A daughter of the missing man. Mrs. Doortty McCaney, lives in Pittsburgh, Pa.

Campaign Undertaken To Aid Negro Workers
Free MatchbOOks to Serve as Advertising Medium in Local Effort to Find Employment for COlOTed Folk

issued the following statement on the match book distribution drive:
 This is part of a campaign in- augurated by the National Urban League, an inter-racial organiza- ton with executive offices in New York City and 46 aff1liated local branches throughout America. More than 40,1O0 packets have been distributed to date.
 The objective is to direct public attention to the Negro as an efi- cient reliable trained workman and as 8 loyal American. Over 8 mil- lion Negro workers are trained or qualified for skilled, semi-skilled and white-collar jobs. Many skilled trained Negro mechanics are re- fused jobs in war industries; or are put on jobs which do not use, or reward, their skills. Trainable men and women are denied job place. ment, and opportunity for training in apprenticeship classes within war industry.
 Tn the last war, Negro crew In the Philadelphia Navy Yard broke the worlds record for pile driving. Another at Sparrow's Point, Mary land, broke the record for riveting. Negro workers were widely used in shipbuilding, steel, packing house, and rubber industries.
 Inter racial organizations are promoting this campaign for public education to speed war production and the practice of democracy at home.
 Negro America is committed to making workable the ideals upon which American Democracy is founded.
 Negro America wants a 100q5 par- ticipation in a war effort toward the survival of democracy and against vicious philosophies at home and abroad.
 Defense and Democracy depend on you.
 Speed war production-open the gates to all workers regardless of race or creed!

Many Defense Areas
Short Of Manpower,
McNutt DiscIoses
Lack of Male Workers
Reported in IS Of $50
VitoI Factory Centers

War Manpower Commissioner
Paul V. McNutt said today 10 per
cent of the total volume of war
production contracts awarded be-
tween May l and June 20 went to
areas where the labor supply al
ready was inadequate.
An additional Sc per cent went to
areas of prospective labor shortages
while only IT'S per cent was di-
rected toward areas where there was
surplus of workers, he reported,
declaring that much greater atten-
ton must be paid to the labor sup
ply factor in awarding contracts.
effective utilization of the ma
tional manpower requires that addi-
tional war work should be directed
toward areas with adequate labor
supply and away from areas where
labor shortages exist or impend, >
Mr.. McNutt said in a statement.
Many Problems Seen.
ITO increase contracts and labor
demand in shortage areas will in
evitably result in excessive mlgra-
ton, aggravated housing problems,
increased pressure on overcrowded
transportation and other commu-
nifty facilities.
The result may well be inability
to meet delivery dates
At $ the same time Mr.. McNutt
cautioned against any large move
ment of war workers currently laid
off because of raw materials short
ages and allied difficulties, and said
these layoffs had not lessened pros
poets of developing labor strin-
gency.
ANY workers who are now being
laid off will be needed at their old
Jobs or in new war jobs as soon
as production problems responsible
have been worked out" he said
TN no sense can they be consid-
cred an addition to the total avail
able labor force.
Shortage in IS Areas.
"Any large-scale shifting of such
workers to other areas of demand
would only serve to confuse still
further the already difficult labor
recruitment and ALLEGATION problem. y
Emphasizing the growing serious
ness of the labor supply situation
Mr.. McNutt said a survey of 100
important labor market areas last
month had shown shortages of male
labor in 35, an increase OF two over
June.
These shortages were principally
in aircraft and shipbuilding centers
