Strike at Caucasus Seen
Sequel TO libyan Attack
BY the AssociatAd prsss

- se@s <ADSOSiot@o FI0bS.
LONDON, May 29.-As a SEQUEL
to Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's
thrust into the British defensive
quadrilateral in Libya, military
quarters here look for a German
offensive in Southern Russia to-
ward the Caucasus from positions
along the Sea Of Azov.
The possibility of yet a third ac-
tion-an air-borne attack on Syria
and 1raq-was not discounted.
There probably would be more to
the campaign than just the develop
ment Of the present thrust.
Military men said German para
chute troops in Crete and German
and italian infantry and air forma
tions in Greece and the Dodecanese
were earmarked for use.
Some parachutists may be used
against Tobruk," one said. The
Germans subscribe to the theory
that possession of Tobruk and Ben
gaI Is indispensable for q sustained
offensive.
But 1t Is unlike the Germans to
stake everything on one attack.
They probably calculate that
minor offensive against Syria and
1raq would serve the double func.
ton OF putting them within striking
distance Of oilfields and divertine
troops from the British forces in
Egypt"
II. on the other hand, Marshal
Rommel should suffer wholesale de-
struction Of his armored forces, 1t
was stated, ''the entire German
timetable for descent on the Levant"
Is likely to be disrupted.

You can play for the war effort"
but also from wing commander

Accordingly, Mr.. Iturbi has been
enrolled as a member of the Civil
Air Patrol since December. His
crowded musical schedule with the
Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra
on the radio and on concert tour
prevented patrolling during the
winter season. c. A. P. officials de-
cided that his schedule was too i'm
portant and too heavy to allow for
flying But now that summer is
ahead, Mr.. Iturbi is anxious to
patrol in North America or play in
South America.
Asked whether he preferred play
ing the piano or conducting or
chestras, Mr.. Iturbi answered with
an expressive gesture of the hands,
ITS a $3.50 proposition with me-
I love music. I guess that's the
answer No matter what I am doing

BARNEGAT CITY. N. j., May
29.-Shore watchers who saw the
torpedoing and sinking Of a Pana-

Jersey coast on clear May after
noon said the undersea attacker
was itself attacked with depth
charges dropped from the air.
Coast Guardsmen from Barnegat

Of two torpedoes as they plunged
into the ship on Monday. The ship
settled quickly in full view of those
on shore until it rested on the sea
bottom with part of the superstruc-
ture remaining above the water.
A Navy blimp and bombing planes
appeared overhead a short time
later and sowed a pattern of depth
bombs in the area of the attack.
One seaman landed at the Coast
Guard station said one torpedo
blasted through the merchantman's
hull into the engine room. The
seaman, who was not identified, said
he had $500 in his pants pocket when
the torpedo struck. but he did not
have the pants on. He grabbed
them from a hook. raced to the
deck and climbed up smokestack
as his ship settled beneath him.
He was rescued from the stack
by Coast Guardsmen, still clinging
to the money-bearing pants.

Army Service Faces
Skilled Workers Who
Refuse War Jobs
McNutt's Ruling Books
Bon on Labor Pirotins
By RivoI Employers
"A. p. Photo.
By the Associated Press.

BY the AsSOclato Press.
The Government has adopted
a work-or-fight policy, under
which men with draft deferment
as skilled workers will be called
into the Army If they refuse war
jobs.
Manpower Chief Paul " McNutt
announced the policy last night and
said 1t would apply to workers who
refuse to accept suitable employ
ment in q war industry without
reasonable cause"
The ruling backed up Wednes-
days order freezing" essential
workers in war-plant jobs to pre-
vent pirating of labor by rival en-
ployers. In explanation of the freez-
ing, Mr.. McNutt said only q few
critical occupations in small num-
Der of war-plant areas would be
affected Immediately.
In each area where it is applied,
local committees of labor and man
agement representatives will be set
up to hear appeals Of workers
or employers whose requests for
changes are denied by the Federal
Employment Service, the sole hiring
agency for skilled war workers un-
der the order.
Employers who fail to discontinue
"pirating" after a warning from the
Employment Service will be reported
to the Manpower Commission, the
War Production Board, the War
and Navy Departments and other
authoritative agencies for "appro-
pirate action" Mr.. McNutt said.
He explained that the restrictions
applied only to employers, but that
every effort would be made to induce
skilled workers Ito accept employ
ment IN war industries in accordance
with the relative urgency Of need for
the products Of these industries"
Mr.. McNutt emphasized that no
restrictions would be placed on the
freedom Of a worker to work where
he chooses, except that he would be
expected to get any new job re-
quiring a critical skill only through
the Federal Employment Service.
Mr.. McNutt pointed out that there
always would be some cases where a
worker would be justified in chang
ing his job and an employer would
be justified in hiring him even
though the worker already was en-
ployed in war industry.
A precedent for draft deferment
cancellation was found in a World
War order that after July 1. 1918,
every man Of draft age had to work
in q useful occupation or 60 into
the Army.

British Army Makes
Radical Departure
In Training Methods
Men Will Now Be Graded
According to What They
Are Able to Perform
BY HELEN KIRKPATRICK,
Foreisn Correspondent OF The Star and
ChiraGo Daily NeVk


FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT Of The Star and
Chicago Daily News
LONDON, May "a radical de-
parture in the training Of the British
Army has been announced by the
army's adjutant general. 1t COM
bines many features Of United States
Army training with an entirely new
method Of fitting men into jobs for
which they are best fitted.
Early this year Sir William Bev-
eridge, author of the recent unpopu-
lar fuel rationing scheme, made
report on the use of skilled men in
the armed forces. Its conclusions
showed that the army made the
poorest use of skilled men and took
the least account of a mans capa-
bilities. 1t is hoped the new plan
will alter and correct these short
comingS.
Rarely Transferable.
Under the old system, men enlist
ing or being drafted were sent to the
training unit which the army re-
cruiting ofncer believed most suit
able to them. Rarely could a man
be transferred from one type Of unit
to another. II. for example, q man
were sent to the signal corps when
he was really suited for transport
or intelligence work it was practi-
cally impossible for him to be
shifted.
The new system will place every
man Immediately into a general
service corps for the first six weeks.
At the primary training center re-
cruits will have psychological and
aptitude tests. Potential officer ma
terial will be noted. The men will
then be divided into categories &C
cording to their past experience and
aptitude.
Difference in Grading.
Categories at the training center
will be divided into the following:
Drivers, maintenance workers, sig
nalmen, layers. clerks, mobile and
combatant duties, administrative
and domestic duties, and tradesmen.
A man may be shifted during the
first six weeks from one category to
another but by the time he leaves
the center it will have been estab-
lished exactly what type unit he is
best suited to join. At present men
are graded according to what they
cannot do rather than what they
can.
Trained psychologists and psychi-
artists will form an important part
Of the training center's staff. This
Is . major concession on the part
Of the War Once, which heretofore,
has always fought shy Of the psy-
Geological approach to aptitude in
the army.

8 Executed in Prague
Hundreds Arrested
In Heydrieh Case
Borders Closed, Entire
Protectorote Called
'One Vast Prison
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 29.-Adolf Hit
ler's demands for vengeance for
an attempt on the life of Rein
hard Heydrich, Reichs protector
for Bohemia and Moravia, were
answered today by his Gestapo,
though perhaps only partly, with
the execution Of six persons In
Prague.
A Czech government spokesman
reported receiving advtces that the
Germans had arrested hundreds Of
ofncials, university professors and
students for questioning, concentrat-
ing their attention on intellectual
types" including some puppet execu-
tives.
THE borders have been closed and
the whole protectorate Is one vast
prison." the spokesman said.
May Hasten Plan.
He expressed belief that Bohemia
and Moravia would be incorporated
into Germany at once, with the
assassination attempt fastening the
ripening Of a plan which he said
Hitler apparently had planned to
execute gradually.
Protectorate officials are expected
to be dismissed or reduced to local
posts, the spokesman said.
Czech circles here feared the
executions in Prague were but the
forerunner of wholesale killings
which would make previous reprisals
IN France and other occupied coun-
tries Insignificant by comparison.
The German announcement said
the six, all members of one family,
had been shot because they had
hidden people who participated in
acts directed against German au-
thorities." All the familys possess
sions were confiscated.
Condition Is Grave.
There was no indication that those
shot were connected directly with
the attempt on Heydrich's life, but
the Germans previously had an
nounced that the entire families of
persons involved in that episode
would be executed summarily.
Heydrich himself was reported in
grave condition. An Exchange Tele-
graph dispatch from Zurich, Switz-
erland, quoted reports from Prague
as saying Heydrichs spinal cord and
spine were injured by three bullets
which entered his body and that a
German specialist had been sum.

Himmler Going to Prague.
There were reports that Heinrich
Himmler. head of the Gestapo and
one OF the most hated and feared
men In Europe, was en- route to
Prague to take personal charge of
the inquiry into the assault on
Heydrich and supervise reprisals.
A state Of emergency already has
been proclaimed throughout Bo-
hemia and Moravia. all public meet
lngs, sports events and theater per-
formances have been banned and all
Czechs over IS have been ordered to
register with police. The decree said
any man caught without q registra-
