than three raids in the 24-hour- long
Arctic daylight"
German bombers, he said, hae
damaged many of the fine, large
and modern buildings erected ir
the last few years. but many large
log buildings, some three stories
high, had withstood the bombings
better.
During one air raid. he said, he
went to a shelter in the basement
of a wrecked concrete building. II
consisted of three rooms. well re-
inforced with steel doors. One
room was filled with children sing
ing, under the leadership OF
uniformed matrons.
Although the temporary. wooden
sidewalks were crowded with people
between raids, all the window and
door openings OF the shops were
boarded up. One hotel was still
open, although overcrowded with
officials. He said he was told that
most of the women already had
been evacuated
The Russian government gave
each crew member an extra months
pay, but food was short and the ship
was unable to obtain provisions for
its return voyage, Paludan said.
The trip from the United States,
he said, was difficult one. with
constant attacks by planes on the
last lap to Murmansk Describing
one attack by four bombers, he
said:
we met them with hail of lead
that made three of them turn tail
and flee. One big dive bomber kept
coming. but dropped his bombs
without doing any damage. When
he got over our column of ships,
less than 1000 feet up, he made
his last dive into the sea and not
one of its crew got out of the plane"
The following day German
torpedo planes attacked and some
ships were hit. Two planes dived
into the sea, hit by the continuous
gun fire from the ships and their
escorts.

. Men MOI al Work

The manpower supply Is so low that.
probably right after election. an industrial
draft win be established in the United
States which win deprive both men and
women of the privilege Of working II,
when, where and how they individually
please.
The industrial draft Is coming because
we do not have enough men to do the
fighting. manufacture the armament and
munitions OF war. raise the food. and keep
essential services going.
Yet in the single city Of New York
there are supposed to be almost half =
million rnen and women who want work
they cannot find. And in California q
plants are boarding men whose services
they cannot use, as insurance against the
coming day when those men viii be needed

power were utilized with 100 per cent
efficiency. But we do have enough men
and women. able and willing to do war
work, to meet our industrial needs up to
the present, IL they were properly located
and assigned.
The maldistribution arises because,
obviously. 1t has not been possible to
place war orders exactly where there was
labor ready and waiting for employment.
1t persists because 1t is not easy to
move workers and their families about
the country, as one might an oversupply
of potatoes or Of anthracite coal, taking
from SURPRISES to supply deficiencies.
II Is not easy 10 do this-but it is
possible. And exactly that sort of Jug
Cling Is what the industrial draft must
accomplish.
California industrialists hoard labor
because their turnover Is high. Once the
industrial draft freezes their workmen in
place, and guarantees TO care for future
needs, they will gladly release the men
they now are boarding.
Hundreds of thousands are out of work
in New York because they hate to move
away; they hope that somehow jobs viii
be made for them at home; they can't
see going into Arizona mines at IS cents
an hour when-who knows they might
have opportunity to work In shipyard
at Is or 20 cents an hour more.
The industrial draft will resolve their
doubts, by telling them, fatty and finally:

deputies. This is true Of course Of those
not selected to share in the expansion of

Livestock is more favored in German

offspring are registered after birth and
marked with ear tags.

Oct. 2, I believe there are several
points to be taken into considers
ton and absolutely essential TO
keep the records straight and in
all fairness and justice to the
Jspanese-Amerieans.

thinking American may clearly
realize. II as Mr.. Westwood main
tains, children born OF alien par
ents are not citizens. It becomes
evident that all the peoples now
residing in this country with the
exception OF the Indiansl-the
thirteen million Negroes. the yell
low and dark races. in fact all
the peoples including all Of the
European stock would be consid-
cred aliens. Everyone can see
the incongruities arising then. I
am certain. II IL my firm belief
that the Great Americans who

This is a community property

on death of a husband or wife Is
subject to the jurisdiction of the
county probate court. There are
inexpensive ways Of simplifying
the transfer Of such property,
which any lawyer can tell you
