ton. Each firms bid Is returned
direct to the Navy bureau in WASH
ington for evaluation in connec-
ton with other tenders which may
have come in. The firms notified
are selected by the WPB Office from
knowledge Of regional conditions
1t is hoped to spread this plan
to other sections of the country, now
that the WPB division headed by
Lou E. Holland. also board chair
man of the Smaller War Plants
Corp, a financing agency, is or
ganized on a Nationwide basis and
stated with experts in the various
lines of production, both in WASH
ington and in field offices.
The smaller plants usually get
subcontracts, but, if they are
equipped to turn out some product
complete. they get prime contracts.
There are about five subcontracts to
every prime contract in this class Of
work.
The armed forces have arranged,
in many instances for conversion of
plants making non-essential things
to war production.
A classic example is the company
that was making champagne and
whisky glasses. In the machine
shops containing the molds for this
glassware, the shop now is turning
out three parts for tanks.
Equipment Located.
| u-l,
it needs added equipment to fill an
order, the procurement engineer
asks: as there such a machine any
where around here?" II there are,
the chances are the manufacturer
doesn't get the machine, but is told
to share his order with the firm so
fooled For most machines use crit
ical materials which could be going
into ships or guns or planes or
some other vital product.
Iiaison between WPB and the
Army and Navy procurement serv-
ices is close. But not all the prob
lens have been quite solved
For instance. the armed services
reserve the right to accept or reject
the facilities Of smaller plant
recommended by Mr. Hollands Of
fice, depending on circumstances.
Mr. Holland feels that such plants
should be utilized when his engi-
neers accept them. This power of
veto he describes as "one OF the
rough places" on the program. The
Army and the Navy, on the other
hand, think they have final respon-
slbility for keeping their forces
armed and supplied. and should ex-
ercise the authority.
A section of the act setting up the
Smaller War Plants Corp. specified
that plant capable of doing war
work could be certified" to the pro-
curement agencies. But, while some
members of Congress construe this
as giving the corporation and its re-
lated WPB division broad powers
there seems some doubt of how to
interpret this provision.
I'D rather request than demand
Mr.. Holland observed, adding that
he hadn't used the certifcation
power.
Meanwhile, however, cooperation
among the buying organizations and
the WPB is called by most ofiicials
sound and effective.

curement agencies)

He was cited tor extraordinary

above and beyond the call of duty"
during the Battle of Midway
June As.
In an initial attack on Japan
ese aircraft carrier, Capt. Fleming
oived his plane to the perilously low
altitude OF 400 feet before releasing
his bomb. Although $500 feet is
considered the minimum safe alti-
tude In dive bombing. he pulled out
with only two minor wounds.
The following day however, in
leadlng an assault on japanese
battleship, his plane was set afire
curing his approach glide.
He grimly pressed home his at

crashed to the sea in flames" the
citation said.

lifeboats. One of them. a motor
boat. towed the others to q nearby

Light Opposition Reported
By First Ships Returning
To Scottish Port
Py the Associated Press

Ey the Associated Press
A SCOTTISH PORT, Nov. "a
The American troop landings at
Algiers and Oran were protected
from the air by new-type British
fighters operating from carriers and
the opposition encountered was rela-
lively light, it was reported here
with the return of the first ships
from the great combined operation
Before the landings began-while
the great armada was steaming
toward North Africa-Admira Sir
Andrew Browne Cunningham sent
his ships a message which said
substantially: Never let the army
down-and this time be even more
particular, as most of the troops are
from the United States
Trip Called Uneventful.
Officers from destroyers, busy re-
fueling. putting on more ammuni-
tion and getting things shipshape
for their next sally, described the
North African trip as uneventful.
Only one ship among the first ar
rivals bore any scars of enemy
action, and they were minor.
Aboard this ship was Sergt. Hugo
Wren of New York City. who filmed
the landings for the Army Pictorial
Service. He got few pictures because
most of the action was at night. He
did get seasick and was shoWered
with flying debris from dive
bomber, but he was unhurt.
| Navy men said the first troops
made their landings just ahead of
the time set. They said they heard
Maj. Gen. Charles Ryder, who
commanded the American shock
force, exclaim on the beach:
-Four minutes early. Can you
beat it,"
Excitement on Return Trip.
One Of the destroyers got more
OF a battering from the sea and
more excitement on the return trip
by hauling aboard the survivors OF
torpedoed ship during a storm
than it did off North Africa.
This destroyer and a sistership
claimed hits on two submarines dur
ing the operations and brought back
pieces of debris as substantiation.
Officers of the destroyer said that
except for the strategic Importance
OF the operation the trip was tame
compared to Russian convoy jobs.

Frank Boyd to
Speak on Poll
Tax andLabOr

HOW Cne roll lax AnectS La
boris Rights" will be the subject
of talk by Frank Boyd, Secretary
of the Twin Cities Chapter of the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Por-
tiers, well-nown leader in the
struggle for labor and civil rights
on Friday, September II, 8 p. M,
at the Andrews hotel in Minneapo-
lis. The meeting is under the aus
pices of the Twin Cities Workers
Defense League.
Information on the Poll Tax is
especially important now after the
death of the disenfranchised share
cropper, Odell Waller and with the
Geyer Anti-Poll Tax Bill before
Congress.
One-ffth of the adults of this
country are of the poll-tax states of
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Mis-
sissippi, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, and Virginia. The poll tax
varies in different states from a
dollar to two dollars a year. In
some states, the tax is cumulative.
In Alabama, if you are Al and have
not paid the poll tax since you were
Fl, you must pay $50 before you
can vote.
There are two bills aimed at the
poll tax before Congress today
HR 1924 and S 1880. Both bills are
in committee, but only 81 more sig
natures are needed to Discharge
Petition No. 1 are required to bring
the Geyer Anti-Poll Tax Bill to a
vote.
In Minnesota, according to our
information, all present Represen-
tatives have signed Petition No. 1
except August Andersen, LIST Dis
trict; R. T. Buckler, 9th District;
Harold Knutsen, 9Th District.
To help abolish the poll tax,
write your Congressman demand
ing that they sign the petition if
they have not already done so and
urging them to vote for the Geyer
Anti-Poll Tax Bill. Write your

Shipstead asking that they demand

RUMOR OF NEGRO TROOPSHIP
SINKING SCOTCHED BY
WAR DEPARTMENT


New York-Another false rumor
concerning the welfare of Negro
soldiers has been scotched by the
War Department, according to an
announcement by the national
office of the NAACP.
Reports that a transport carry
ing 5000 Negro soldiers had been
sunk off the coast of Australia
were widespread throughout the
midwest, and caused the Associa-
ton to ask the War Department if
there was any truth in the rumors.
General George C. Marshall,
Army chief of staff, stated in re-
ply: "The story itself appears to
be quite without foundation as to
the facts; and I need hardly add
that the charge that some thou
sands of soldiers were Intentional
ly and unnecessarily exposed to
danger is preposterous."
The NAACP again urges men,
bers of the public to check every
rumor or story of this sort to find
its basis in fact before giving
credence to it.

Committee)

l
Committee)
Martin Nelson, candidate for the
Republican nomination for COVER
nor, has been making a whirlwind
campaign during the past two
weeks.
Martin A. Nelson is a veteran of
the World War-a former pilot in
the Army Air Corps, who received
his commission, not because of po-
litical influence or social prestige;
because he went out and earned it;
just as thousands of other young
men did at that time by long and
tedious hours of study-strenuous
hours up there in the clouds becom-
ing the master of his ship and after
months of long hard days he re-
ceived his wings. Mothers of Min
nesota! Many of your sons are
doing the same thing today, fight
ing, studying, and striving for pro-
motions and higher ranks in the
armed forces.
That's the kind of a young man
Martin A. Nelson was in 1917-1918,
and that is the kind of man Mar
tin A. Nelson has been throughout
his long professional career. He
worked for everything that he re-
ceived and he will work for you as
GOVERNOR of the State of Min
nesota.
