Since the building served as

NO OFFICER ABOARD

Since there had been a crew
of some 25 aboard the Wake, we
wondered why they had not put
up resistance or sunk the ship,
as the British had done with the
Petrol.
We learned later that the
commanding officer of the Wake,
Capt. G. d. Smith. had spent the
night ashore. Thus. when the
Japanese destroyer appeared
alongside and demanded the sur
render of the little craft, there
actually was 40 one in COM
mand.
We LEARNED also later that
most of the American sailors on
the Wake jumped overheard and
swan TO a Panamanian freighter
anchored in the harbor, where
they were concealed for several
hours by the crew.
The Japanese made a great
TODD about the capture of the
American vessel. which was ex-
plotted in Japan and. in the
Japanese controlled press in
China. One would have thought
from the description of the cap
ture that the Wake was a TO-
000-ton cruiser rather than a
gunboat of a few hundred tons.
The Japanese Incorporated the
Wake into their navy and re-
named ii the Tatare Maru.

SeIective Service Nay Serve as Lever to Force
More Men and Women Into War Jobs

Secretary of War Stimson hopes to
have 100000 man Army by the
end of the year.
Since occupational deferments of
physically qualified men without
dependents are temporary, usually
for six-month period, replace
ments must be found for those men.
Ultimately, selective service hopes
to have all these men in the Army.
Many others will go into the Navy
or Marine Corps.
Needs Being Gauged.
When the war production pro-
gram is at its height, 1t is estimated
that the 100000 workers now on
the paw rolls of war industries will
be swelled to 100000 workers. But
millions Of other men and women
are needed to maintain transporta-
ton, communications, utility sys-
TENS and other essential public
services, to grow food for this coun-
try and its allies, to mine metals
and materials, and to fabricate the
consumer goods necessary to main
tain a healthy national life.
1t is finding enough men and
women to do those jobs that may
result in compulsory system.

BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG.

The selective service system may
become the lever to force all men
and women physically able to work
into the production effort, 1t was
indicated today.
Through selective service, an in
creasing number of women are al
ready indirectly being forced into
industry. The knowledge that nom
working wives are not always con-
sidered grounds for deferment is
expected to bring more and more
women into productive work.
Advised since Pearl Harbor to
examine carefully the financial cir
cumctanceS of all regiStrsnts seek
ing deferment because OF depend
ents, local boards are becoming in
creaSingly strict and nav soon re-
fuse deferred classification to men
if their parents or their wives
parents can support the wife.
The lure of wages is also eX-
pected to bring more women into
the production effort.
Work Army Estimated.
Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey esti-
mates that 100000 men and
women make up the total produc-
ton and military man power of
the United States. OF this total.
the 40000,000 men either have regis
tered or will register undc- selective
service. Of the 100000 women be-
tween the ages of l8 and 65, it is
estimated that 10000 900 can work.
Now working are 11.50000 women,
approximately. 1t is getting the
remaining 8,5O0,000 women into pro-
ductiye effort that remains a prob
lem.
Now registered for selectivs service
are 27,00000 men between the ages
of 20 and A, inclusive. They are
all liable for military service"
Required to register at some
future registration, but not for mill
tary service, are the 18 and 49,
year-olds and the men between IS
and IS years of age. The youths
are no problem. Without re-regis-
tering they will be eligible for mill
tary service when they reach 20.
Skill Quiz in Prospect.
Congress, in specifying that the
men between As and IS were to be
registered, made no provision for
what should be done with them
after they registered.
In cooperation with the Federal
Security Agency's United States
Employment Service, selective serv-
ice will send out a questionnaire
to the men who registered earlier
this month and ultimately to the
1855 group OF to determine the
occupational skill of the men not
qualified for combat service.
If new men and women are not
absorbed more rapidly into industry,
If the man power problem of the

country continues to be as critical
as 1t is now considered, those ques-
tionnaires may become the basis
for drafting labor, registered under
selective service, into industry.
That is only one possibility. Some
high-ranking officials are consider
ing freezing men at certain jobs,
preventing men from moving from
one job to another and higher

from seeking city employment, TAX

Affects Labor Flow.
Through its deferment policy,
selective service actually affects the
flow of labor. The whole philosophy
of selective service is the require
ment for efficiency in the use and
ALLEGATION of man power. 1t empha-
sizes the need for avoiding undue
disturbance to the country's agri-
cultural, commercial and industrial
efficiency.
