The enemy's' increasing ability to
concentrate its fire bombs over a
restricted area forced Britain to
change its a1e-f1ghting policy along
the same lines as those announced
this week by the national Office of
Civilian Defense, London fire
fighter explained here yesterday.
Even in the days of the great fire
raids, said Chief E. A. Kirby, in
cendiary bombs were scattered over
wide area The chances were
that not more than one would fall
in a single house. In those days,
he said, using a spray of water to
control the bombs was an effective
enough method.
BY various methods, he went on,
the enemy has been able to bring
about such great concentration
that half dozen incendiaries might
have to be dealt with by the same
individual or group at the same
time.
while you were performing a
nice little operation on one bomb,
the other fire would have started
uncomfortable fires" he declared in
explaining why Britain adopted the
faster method of combating bombs
by shooting a stream of water at
them. Russia, he said, had had the
same experience.
Firemen Alone Ineffective.
The fire chief, whose original mis-
sion to the United States was to

There's A Little
Difference

They don't have any joint man.
agement and labor committees in
Germany. There are guys with
rifles and machine guns who see
that both management and labor
do what they're supposed to do.
None of this voluntary stuff. To
hell with anybody's rights.
This is the story told by a new
pamphlet issued by the War Pro-
duction Drive Headquarters for
distribution to workers in defense
plants.
There's a little difference in
the way the Nazis run a war pro-
duction drive" the pamphlet
points out.
you've probably heard, too,
about the way they bring workers
in from the conquered countries.
Sometimes they promise good pay
and vacations with trips back
home. (They did this with French
workers, to lure them away from
their families.) But the pay was
phoney printing-press money.
And the vacations were the Nazi
idea of a joke. Some Of those
workers haven't seen their wives
and kids since the early summer
of 1910.
"The Poles were treated worse.
The Nazis actually put ball-and-
chains on the Poles they forced
to work. The Russians have been
treated worst of all. AS the Nazis
have retreated they've driven
whole villages of Russian civilians
before then, to be used as slave
labor. IF any Russian man or
woman slowed up, or fell, he or
she was shot dead. Nice people!
"Of course, you'd figure the
Germans themselves would get a
better break. They do. But not
much. They're safe as long as
they keep their mouths shut about
the pay they get, the hours they
work, the food they don't get
But whipping and beheading are
still legal punishment for labor or
management that doesn't obey
every Nazi order.
TITS all very well to say we
wouldn't stand for that stuff in
America, but if we don't win this
war we might have to stand for
it. To win, we have to prove that
free labor can out-produce slave
labor, that voluntary committees
can do a better job than DULLES
with guns, that a decent way OF
working and living can beat the
Japanazi way!"

Girls Offered
Jobs As Army
Inspectors

High school girl graduates now
have a chance to earn while they
learn and when trained as Junior
engineering aids they may obtain
important jobs in the Army Signal
Corps. Hundreds of women are
needed as Uncle Sans inspectors
in private plants making radio
telephone and other equipment for
Army use.
The offer is open to young
women who have a mathematical
and scientific bent and education.
These women are being registered
and selected by the Third District
of the u. S. Civil Service Com
mission in Philadelphia, according
to information given the Women's
Bureau of the United States De-
partment of Labor, which is con-
cerned with the effective use of
women in the war effort.
A girl who gets the opportunity
to serve her country in the Signal
Corps, the eyes and ears of the
fighting force, is paid during her
6 to 9 months training period a
salary of $12O a month, and in
starting to work as an inspector
she receives $135 a month.
After she gets into active service
hers is a vital role-most likely
at present to be that of an in
spector Of radios designed for the
armed forces. She makes dozens
of difficult intricate tests and
reads dozens of dials.
Should she pass by a defective
piece of equipment, the outcome
of a military campaign might be
affected. Far from the scene of
battle, she works vigilantly in a
manufacturing plant, seated in a
wire cage INSULATED from sur
rounding electrical disturbances
before an immense and intricate
testing board of dials and controls;
of volunteers, testing voltage out
put, resistance, power output, and
%all-around performance. She mea-
sures in amperes, ohms, volts,
mhos, farads, henrys-many of the
readings being taken in milliunits.
Or she might be trained for
work in the inspection service in
the manufacture of telephone
equipment, wire, Or cable. The
course for any one group of stu
dents is pointed to one special
field.
If she makes good, she has OPP
portunities for advancement at
higher salaries. She may become a
senior inspector with some ad-
ministrative and organizational
duties, and possibly so on to a
supervisory position of consider
able Importance.
To be accepted for training at
the Philadelphia Air Corps Depot,
a young woman must have the
equivalent Of a regular 4-year
high school course with six sue
cessfully completed units in chem
istrp, physics, Mathematics, or
drafting-or a total of six units
in any combination of these
courses. An applicant Is also eligi-
BILE if she has acquired the neces-
sary qualifications at night school
OF through part-time work at a
college or technical school. The
age limits for trainees are from
20k to IS years.
