Civilian Rolls 10 Rise
100000 This Year,
Federal Experts Say
War Job Increases
To More Than Offset
Non-Defense Losses

Civilian employment this year will
increase 100000 over the 194l
total according to estimates pre-
sented to administration officials by
Federal research group, IL Was dis
closed today. The employment loss
due to the curtailed production of
many civilian goods will be more
than offset by the new jobs created
by expanding war production. it is
predicted.
A rise of 100000 in non-agri-
cultural employment over l941 is
forecast, with declines in the num-
ber of casual workers, self-employed
persons, agricultural workers and
domestic servants.
Unemployment, estimated at s.
100000 at the end Of 1941, will drop
to about 2,5oo,000 before the end
of the year
Substantial employment gains are
expected in the following manufac-
turing industries: Machinery. trans
portation equipment. including air
craft and shipbuilding, iron and
steel cotton goods and manufac-
tured foods. Gains are also forecast
in construction, transportation and
public utilities.
Excluding military and naval per-
sonnel, Government employment, by
the end of 1912, will rise to 4,57O,000,
a gain of approximately 100000 over
the total at the end of 194l.
AS result of shortages of mate
rials and restrictions on civilian
consumption, employment declines
are forecast for the woolen goods.
boot and shoe, and rubber products
industries.
A reduction Of about 100000 in the
number of pers.ns employed in

division executive, had been named
general manager.
The transports are so designed
that some parts can be built in the

said, adding that this would allow
utilization of much man power
equipment and material not already
engaged in the war effort.
Experts in the design and manu-

'SurgeNDiviningR Rod
Used by Physician
Al Pearl Harbor
Magnetic BuIIet-Finder
Declared Effective in
Treating Wounded

An electro-magnetic bullet finder
which he had taken to Honolulu to
demonstrate in some post graduate
lectures on the eve of the Pearl
Harbor attack suddenly became Of
extreme value in treating the
wounded, DR.. J. j. Moorehead OF
the New York Post Graduate Hos
pital told the Alumni Association of
Georgetown Medical School last
night.
The device. constructed for him
by an electrical engineer, DR.. Moore
head said, acts as surgical dlVln-
ing rod and is based on almost the
same principles as the instruments
now used by prospectors to locate
oil and ore deposits.
A finder, about the size and shape
of a pencil, is passed over the
bruised and cut surface of the flesh.
When the point comes over buried
metallic foreign body, the attraction
is registered on dial. When the
response is greatest the surgeon
knows that the object sought is
directly underneath. The depth at
which it is buried in the flesh can
be determined by comparing the
electromagnetic response with that
evoked by an object of similar size.
The surgeon is provided with COL
lection nf such objects.
Finders Used in World War l.
Even in the last war magnetic
finders were used. but they were
good only for objects of iron and
steel, and the magnetic attraction
did not pass through tissue. Thus
they were useless in locating a
deeply buried missile. The new ap-
paratus, DR.. Moorehead said, locates
objects of iron, brass, steel, copper,
aluminium, silver, gold and lead.
The treatment of the wounded
after Pearl Harbor, DR.. Moorehead
said will go down as one of the great
accomplishments in military sur
gerry. He himself took an active
part, working II hours over the
Grating table at one stretch.
Among the lessons learned, he
stressed, was the necessity Of thor
ough "debridgement" - complete
opening of the wound and cutting
away of all shattered or bruised
tissue around it. This should be
kept up, he said, until tissue which
appears normal and bleeds freely is
reached.
Many Saved by Transfusions.
The next step, he stressed, is to
fill the opened and cleaned wound
with sulfanilamide powder. This
has an advantage over all the other
sulphur drugs, he said, because 1t
will not cake" over the wound.
Even small wound, he said, should
not be stitched until about the third
day. and large ones probably should
not be stitched at all.
Blood transfusions, DR.. Moore
head said, saved many lives. At the
Army hospital there was no pow
dered blood, but when the necessity
was made known, about 500 pints
of whole blood a day were given by
the people of Honolulu. Most OF
this was voluntary. Police court
Judges, however, took pints of blood
in lieu of fines,
Much of the blood used in these
transfusions, DR.. Moorehed said,
was Japanese and Chinese. Jap
anese surgeons of Honolulu, he
stressed, did notable work in treat
ment of the wounded.
A notable feature, he said, was the
complete absence of tetanus lnfec-
tions. This was due to the tetanus
toxoid which for the past year has
been given all Army and Navy per-
sonnel.

Fuel Official Sees
Coal Rationing as
Fall Possibility
Druft, Priorities and
Rail transportation
Factors Are Cited
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Rationing Of coal may be neces-
sary next fall, says H. A. Gray,
acting director Of the Solid Fuels
Coordination once.
He made the prediction in testi-
mony before House committee
studying Interior Department ap-
preparations for the next year, say
ing:
The draft is already affecting
the production of coal and the
priorities are getting to be tighter
and tighter for the necessary mine
requirements.
Cites Rail Problem.
"Over all, there is the railroad
transportation situation, which. of
course, is any mans guess. I think
the right guess is that if something
is not done about getting fuel over
the rails this summer, we will have
a hard time in getting it over the
rails this fall.
1T may result in the rationing
and ALLEGATION of coal. We are
somewhat peculiar in that respect
You can tell the housewife that she
cannot have an aluminium pan, but
you cannot tell her that she cannot
have coal"
The committee also was told by
Dan H. Wheeler, acting director of
the bituminous coal division, that
activities of the agency were in
dispensable now as part Of war
effort"
Held Necessary Division.
Mr.. Wheeler told of aid given by
the statistical branch of the coal
division to the Office of solid fuels
coordination oand the Office of
Solid Fuels Coordination and the
Office of Price Administration, and
declared:
Il think that if the coal division
were abolished today. some other
similar agency would have to be
created to duplicate what the divi-
sion is now doing"
Asked whether 1t was generally
believed in the industry that the
division would be continued after
expiration of the Coal Act on April
Is, 1943. he replied:
Il think the industry as whole
expects an extension of the act.
1t has been discussed many, many
times with us. and I have no doubt
that in a few months recon-
mendation to that effect will be
made"

NEW YORK, March 24.-Plywood
planes for use as military transports
were announced today as the Cur
tiss- Wright Corps short cut to pro-
viding needed aircraft without using
strategic materials.
Only at points requiring extreme
strength will metal be used in the
new aircraft type which Vice Presi-
dent Burdette S. Wright said would
be produced at new plant at an
undisclosed location.
Designed to transport personnel,
equipment and supplies to distant
combat areas with the speed re-
quired by modern warfare, the
wooden planes will be expedited by
subcontracting many of their parts.
Mr.. Wright said the new factory
would be the fifth to be oper-
ated by the corporations airplane

DELAY LOOMS ON
 SEWER PROJECT
Lone Contractor to Submit Bid Unable to Obtain Ne
 cessary Priorities

Inability toLsecure priorities on e4aterials has resulted in an appli- 6k:on by Angelo Lambo, local con- s1actcr fer permission to withdraw bid which he filed several days ago with the board of works for con- structing sewers on five streets Lambo was the only bidder on sew CTS planned for Monterey, Ashmun, Byrneside, Fulton and Matthew streets.
 He accompanied his bid with check for $1,148, indicating that his bid was in the neighborhood of $11 900. The works board referred the bid to the engineering bureau for tabulation and planned to meet next Tuesday to award the contract.
 The works board will undoubtedly give MT. Lambo permission to with draw his bid. This is taken to mean that plans for the new sewers will have to be delayed indefinitely.

CONGRESS WORKS
 TO SPEED BILL
May Have Proposed Anti- Imitation Legislation
 Ready Today

Washington, Oct. 2+(UP)-Con- gressional leaders, criticized by Pres ident Roosevelt for failing to meet his Oct. 1 deadline for enactment of anti imitation legislation, hoped to have bill on his desk late today.
 Senate and House conferees meet this morning. Although the house members have not been formally ap- pointed, they have informally agreed to accept the senate farm labor cost amendment and will try before noon to agree on floor for agricultural prices that will avoid a threatened $65O ,OOO, GOO increase in the annual cost of living.
 At a meeting yesterday the con ferees narrowed the main dispute to provisions of the two versions of the bill calling for an increase in the government loan rate for farm corps from 85 to 90 per cent.
 None of the decisions of the con- fierce are final because of the for malities still necessary in appon1t- ment of the house members. Some leaders expected that they might be called to a White House conference before action is completed.
 MT. Roosevelt told his press con- ference late yesterday that he plan ned to hold conferences on the pend- ing legislation last night. He did not reveal with whom he would con- fer. But it was understood that he discussed the bill with Price Admin istrator Leon Henderson and other government officials who notified the presidents congressional lieutenant' yesterday that the legislation me' the test of adequate" anti-1nf1at1or \ bowers demanded In MT. Roosevelt! fLabor Day message. 4ss'
 MT. Roosevelt critized Congres- sional delay in enactirg the bill or his return yesterday from secret coast-to-coast trip He pointed ou that Congress had tcen working on the bill for three. weeks.
 He compared the present situa- tion to the early New Deal days ] when. he said, Congress enacted economically-urgent legislation IT one day, four days, week. He said he believed that with the nation now threatened from thss outside it is even more important to have speed in adopting needed legisla' ton that when the danger was only internal.
 MT. Roosevelt declined to say the pending bill was satisfactory but he did not say that he believed many working people with whom he talked during his trip whole heartedl y agreed with his program to stabilize living costs and tha' they were jittery about the possibil- itv of further increases in the costs of living.
 If the Senate-House conferee! can get together on the government loan rates this morning, leaders hope to get both Senate and House final approval this afternoon.

The plaintiff claimed he sustained permanent injuries which will event. ually result in death as the result of "spill'' he had when his motor cycle allegedly struck a deep hole in the race track. The man is said to be paralyzed from his neck down due to the injuries.
 The Lodge of Elks owned the race track and had leased it to Rudolph Caron, manager, who was originally named party defendant in the ac- tion but later dropped. The de- fendants claim the plaintiff signed an entry blank which stipulated that he entered the race at his own risk and would not hold the race track manager or owners responsible for any injury. A demurrer was filed by the plaintiff to that claim but Judge Edward J. Da1y upheld 1t proper and in accordance with law.
 In order to have the case continued the plaintiff then had to file an answer to the special defense pre- sented. Today Attorney Lawrence Lewis, counsel for the recreational club, told the court that counsel of the plaintiff has given notice they would not plead again, and Judge Booth consented to a judgment for the defendants because of the fail ure to plead.
 Attorney John H. Cassidy. who to- gether with Attorney Lee Roy Rob- bins of Norwich and Attorney George Gilman of Norwich. repre- sented the Elks, stated today that the case could be reopened only by an appeal to the supreme court of errors. It is believed the plaintiff may seek the higher courts opinion as to whether or not Judge Daly's decision on the special offense was appropriate.
