Plan Formed To Provide
Labor Force To Farmers

Washington, d. G. - The Depart
ment of Agriculture announced the es-
tablishment Of machinery to provide
farmers with workers sufficient to
meet their requirements at wage rates
that prevail in the community for
each kind of work, with the provision
that under no conditions shall the
workers be paid less than 80 cents an
hour or its equivalent on piece rate
basis. Secretary of Agriculture Claude
Wickard said the plan will be admin
istered by the Federal Security Ad-
ministration, working closely with
state and county war boards and the
United States Employment Service.
The department has obtained $5O0,000
from the Presidents emergency fund
to begin the job.

ANTI-POLL TAX BILL
IS CONSTITUTIONAL,
LAWYERS DECLARE

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-A brief
arguing the constitutionality of the
proposed Senate bill prohibiting poll
taxes in elections for federal officials
has been filed with the Senate Judi
ciary Committee by four lawyers for
the American Civil Liberties Union.
The signers are Morris l.. Ernst, Os-
mond K. Fraenkel and Arthur Garfield
Hays, of New York City, and John F.
Finerty, of the District of Columbia
bar.
An attempt was made to present
the brief orally to the Senate commit
tee, but the committee concluded it's
hearings within one day after a few
hours notice to interested organiza-
tions.
The unions brief stated: "Since
Congress has already enacted legisla-
tion to protect its interest in a fair
election (the Corrupt Practices Act,
the Hatch Act) it is clearly within it's
right, if it is not its duty, to abolish
pernicious practices jeopardizing the
proper exercise of the franchise.
Gas matter of public policy, and
under the. doctrines of constitutional
law as established by the Supreme
Court, it is clear that the proposed leg
islation is within the power of Con-
gress to enact. 1t is to the public in
terest that the franchise be protected
from any unnecessary and unreason-
able requirements. Certainly as far
as federal elections are concerned, it
is submitted that S-1280 is constitu-
tional and proper exercise of the
Congressional power to ensure decent
and honest elections participated in
by the greatest possible number of our
citizens"

Every Four Months to Plan Closer
Cooperation in War Goods Output
Unity of Effort for Victory Aim of Navy in New Policy
of Consultation With Labor Meetings to be Held in
Washington, Pointing Toward Closer Harmony.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-A new
policy of consultation with labor, de-
scribed by Ralph A. Bard, Assistant
Secretary of the Navy, as revolution
ary if put into effect in industry
throughout the nation has been adopted
by the Navy.
With greater cooperation as the
goal, the Secretary of the Navy and
the Commanders in Chief of the United
States Fleet, with other high-ranking
naval officers, will hold meetings in
Washington with representatives of
labor from each Of the navy yards and
shore establishments for discussions
on methods of working in closer har-
mony.
In labor circles, the Navy announce

First Meeting October /
The first of the Navy Labor meetings
will be held October l and others are

fifty representatives of labor will be

Bard said that the standard of labor

URGES ALL To
TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF MOBILE UNIT
OUTFIT is BEING BROUGHT
TO KEY WEST FOR PUR-
POSE OF MAKING X-RAY
FOR TUBERCULOSIS

The Monroe County Health De-
partment wants to uncover every
active case of pulmonary tuber-
.culosis in Monroe County, says
DR.. j. B. Parramore, director of
the department. AS one phase of
this program the mobile x-ray
unit will be brought to the county
by the Division of tuberculosis,
State Board of Health.
All persons eligible to be X
rayed are urged to do so, since
early tuberculosis very seldom
manifests symptoms discernable
either to the layman or physician.
Only an x-ray of the lungs can de-
tect the disease in. the early
stages" .usr fEf'
Persons who have been around
active cases of tuberculosis should
let nothing prevent their having
an x-ray Immediately. If they do
not come within the group elig-
ible for x-ray by the state mobile
unit then they should see their
family physician at once.
DR.. ParramOre reports authori-
ties agree it is not necessary to X
ray all children in the age group
five through IA, because very few
children develop pulmonary tu-
berculosis at this age. However,
children over 5, years OF, age will
be included for x-ray at the mo-
bile unit if they have lived in the
same house with an active case
of tuberculosis viii be x-rayed if
the family is eligible for the ser
vice. -

RICKENBACKER
WAR DEPARTMENT CON-
TINUES ITS SILENCE RE-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The
War Department continued its 81
lence today regarding the where
abouts of Captain Eddie Ricken-
hacker and the six other men who
were rescued in the Pacific last
Friday and Saturday from his lost
plane.
1t was said this morning that
possibly Rickenbacker would is
sue a statement late today or to-
morrow about the loss of his
plane when it had to descend be-
cause of lack of gas and the ex-
perience he and the other men
had on the life RATS.
Reports are that all the men,
with one exception are in good
condition physically except for
weakness due to the stress of hav-
ing been adrift for three weeks on
the RATS.
The exception is Private John
F. Bartek, who was almost COM
pletely played out when he was
rescued at the same time Captain
Rickenbacker and Colonel Hans
C. Adamson were taken from the
sea. The War Department has
not sasd anything further about
his condition since its first report

TWENTY-FIVE OF
RECENT DRAFTEES
WERE ACCEPTED
TWO WHO THOUGHT THEY
WE'RE IN BULK OF BLANKET
EXEMPTION WE'RE AMONG
MEN RETAINED

Twenty-Five of the "a Key
Westers who went to Camp
Blanding last week were ac-
cepted, according TO word re-
ceived in Key West today.
Among those accepted were
two who thought they were in the
supposed blanket exemption
about which there was consider
able talk in Key West four or five
weeks ago.
However, there has not been
any bulk or blanket exemption,
as some men thought it would be
for firemen in the Navy Yard
and the Army Barracks. AS was
said by an official that acts for
the government in drafting mat
tiers, there are a good many men
over the draft age who could fill
the job of fireman.
AT the courthouse this morning
there was considerable talk about
a man who had resigned a job that
paid him as high as $500 a month
to accept fireman's job in the
barracks in the belief it would
exempt him from army service.
But he was was called and went
off with last weeks draftees. He
was rejected and is back in Key
West, minus his $500 a month
job.

FORCES ASKED
TO CONSERVE
WATER SUPPLY
REQUEST MADE DUE TO DIS
CovERY OF BREAK IN LINE
SOMEWHERE ALONG FLOR
IDA KEYS

Capt. c. E. Reordan, COM
mandant of the Key West Naval
Operating Base, today called on
all naval attaches and civilian
workers to conserve their water
supplies because of a serious
break in the waterline from the
mainland.
The break occurred over the
weekend in a section of the line
about IS miles from Key West.
Repair work has already begun
but the line will not be in use
again for perhaps week or more,
it was said.
Lieut.-Comdr K. NJ. Fenwick,
public works officer, said he be-
lieved the repair work can be
finished within five to seven days
but the latter appeared most
likely. Cause of the break is be-
lieved to have occurred due to'the
heavy pressure on the line neces-
sary to bring the water from
Homestead.
Captain Reordan said he hoped
all Naval and civilian workers
would conserve the water supply
during the period the repair work
IS in progress. Citizens in this
section have co-operated in this
respect in the past and will doubt
lessly strive to save the water al
the time, it was pointed out.
