2,50O,OO0 Alien Workers
Now Laboring for Nazis
Rr Radin To The Star.

BY Radio TO The star
LONDON, July 24-The number
of foreign workmen in Germany has
now passed the 2,5oOO 900 mark, and
is expected to exceed 5000 900 by the
end of the year, according to the
authoritative weekly Der Deutsche
Volkswirt
The German journal says the re-
eruiting campaign throughout Eu-
rope since the appointment OF Labor
Dictator Fritz Sauckels last March
has successfully overcome the opposi-
ton "fomented by England" The
article admits, however, that most
new arrivals are completely un-
skilled and must be trained from the
beginning.
The urgency of continued German
efforts TO tap new labor sources pro-
vides good indication of the
strained domestic economy. The
problem is threefold. stemming from
the mobilization of German men for
army service, the tremendous re-
ouirements of the armed forces and
the effects Of the United Nations
blockade.
1t was recently estimated here
that production of synthetic gasoline
requires 1901 900 workers for example.
The manufacture of rayon and other
synthetic fibers takes an additional
$4,000 workmen from other Jobs.

MELBOURNE, July 24.-A staff
of American surgeons and physi-
clans, members of a Harvard unit,
is organizing a huge military hospi-
tai in a small Australian town for
treatment of American fighting men.
This will be one of the largest
hospitals, civil or military, in the
Southern Hemisphere and will be
under Maj. A. Thorndyke, jr. Each
doctor is an expert in his field.
Special ambulance planes will
bring the soldiers to the hospital
from field stations. The patients
will be men requiring skilled cura-
tive or homeopathic treatment.
Special attention is being paid
mental and nervous cases resulting
from war shock.
The specialists are interested in
British experiments using phono-
graph recordings of bombs, human
cries, gunf1re and sirens to make the
victims re-live their hours of horror
and realize that they are in no
actual danger.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, July "A
The Governors OF Alabama and
Georgia charged today that out
siders are attempting to tear down
the principles of race segregation in
the South.
Gov. Frank M. Dixon of Alabama
accused two Federal agencies Of
adopting policies which, he said,
would destroy segregation under
which the white and Negro races
have lived in peace together in the
South since reconstruction"
Eugene Talmadge, red-galloused
Governor Of Georgia, advised Ne
groes who did not like the States
segregation laws ito stay out Of
Georgia." and added:
Hits Interference"
Outside influences know nothing
about the traditions and conditions
here and should not interfere with
the friendship between the two races
of long years standing"
Gov Dixon's assertions were made
in letter explaining his reasons for
not signing contract with the De-
fense Supplies Corp. for 1,750,000
yards Of convict-made Osnaburg
cloth. The contract contained a
workers non-discrimination clause.
Should we sign the contract with
this clause included" he wrote
Ralph D. Williams, New York agent
for the Federal agency, I'VE can ex-
pect the Fair Employment Practice
Committee Immediately to descend
upon the State with the demand
that Negroes be put in positions OF
responsibility in the States prison
cotton mills.
He asserted that under cover Of
the discrimination by seller" clause
contained in war contracts, the Fair
Employment Practice Committee
has been operating to force
Negroes and white people to work
together, intermingle with each
other, and even to bring about the
situation where white employees will
have to work under Negroes"
Comments in Weekly.
Gov Talmadge. now campaigning
for fourth term as Georgia's ex-
ecutive, made his statement in his
political weekly, The Statesman, in
commenting on indignation" tele-
grams he received after Roland
Hayes Negro concert singer, charged
he was beaten recently by Rome,
Ga, police. The Georgia Governor
said both whites and Negroes in
Georgia approved of laws providing
separation of the races in public
places.
Gov. Talmadge forced the custer
of several Georgia educators last
year on charges they advocated
racial o-education-a charge they
denied. The ousters are at issue in
the present gubernatorial campaign.

A $50 per cent increase in Naval
ship construction over a year ago
and development of an air arm
which will provide the United
States with the strongest offensive
force in Naval history" were re-
ported last night by the House

In a progress summation of the

Soldier Vote Measure
Passes House Despite
Delaying Tactics
Rankin Sees Stort Of
Fede<uI Control of
Stote Elections
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Over the persistent but futile OBJ
jections Of small group Of South
ern members, the House passed
and sent to the Senate last night
legislation to give absent soldiers
chance to vote in the forth
coming elections.
The controversial measure was
finally approved by standing vote
of 1874 to 10 after the minority bloc,
led by Representative Rankin, DEM
ocrat. of Mississippi forced numer-
GUS roll calls on the ground that
the legislation was the opening
wedge" to Federal control of State
elections.
Those 25-minute calls of the roll
OF members brought open charges
on the floor of Shameful f1libuster,"
and delaying tactics"
State Law Wouldn't Block.
The measure would provide that
In time of war, Notwithstanding any
provision of State law relating to
elections, including registration re-
quirements, those In the armed
services otherwise qualified should
be entitled to vote for electors OF
President, Vice President and men,
bers of Congress.
1t would apply to those persons,
including "sailorettes," nurses and
members of the Womens Army
Corps Auxiliary, who are serving in
the land or naval forces of the
United States In the continental
United States, including Alaska,
who are absent from their place of
residence"
AS Representative Rankin forced
rollcall after rollcall, members COM
planned against his tactics-which
caused the House to remain in ses-
sion into the highland more than
20 OF them added their names to the
l6O-odd already on a petition to
force House consideration of legis-
lation to wipe out poll-tax require
ments as a prerequisite to voting.
Such petitions require the sigma
lures OF 2l8 members. a majority.
When Representative Cox, Demo-
crat, of Georgia said that the SOL
diers' vote bill makes it easy for
the people in the armed services to
exercise their franchise In elections"
Representative Rankin broke in to
assert
This is merely an attempt to get
the camel's nose under the tent
and destroy the election laws in
every State in the Union"
Cox Contradicts.
ut will do no such thing" Rep
resentative Cox retorted.
From the well Of the House, Rep
resentative Jennings, Republican, of
Tennessee, cried out that "the real
opposition" to passage OF the
measure ITS to draw the bar sin
lister across the brow Of the Negro"
I'VE have put them in uniform"
he shouted, and I am willing to
say they have the right to vote"
The debate itself opened With the
assertion Of Representative Ram
say, Democrat. of West Virginia,
the bills author, that those 'in
sympathy with its purpose believe
that those in the armed service,
ready to lay down their lives on
the altar OF sacrifice, are registered
not only as voters but as real
Americans. and have a right to cast
their ballots"
From Representative Hare, Demo-
crat. of South Carolina came the
contention that the measure would
deprive the States of their right
to determine the qualifications for
registration as voters.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

After Robert Cooking fell to his
death in 1887 there were some per-
sons in England who said:
1T is foolish for man to make
q parachute leap from a great
height. There is too much danger
of his being killed"
Long before any British balloon
ist tried a descent, certain French
men had proved they could use
parachutes with success. A French
aviator named Garnerin had visited
England and had made successful
leap before large crowd.
Yet the British public seemed
against the idea Of further trials
when 39-year John Hampton
said he would like to try one. I'm
portant men said he should not be
allowed to make a test. Yet they
eould find no law against it.
Hampton listened to their words,
but replied, Cooking fell to his
death last year because his para
chute was not Of the right kind
I have another kind and am sure
can come down safely"
Up he went, in basket with an
umbrella shaped parachute above

to a height of almost 2 miles.

About Puruchutes

More than 100 years have passed
since then. Today we are in a war
which parachutes are being used as
never before. Sometimes they save
aviators whose planes are going to
crash. In other cases they are en-
ployed as means of attack.
Russia was the first nation to
train parachute troops" on a wide
scale, but Hitler's Nazis took up the
idea. Thousands Of men were
dropped in Holland when that little
country was invaded.
Later the Nazis landed parachute
armies on the island of Crete.
Mainly by this means they took it
away from the Greeks and British.
For many months the people of
Great Britain have been making
ready for an invasion attempt. Be-
Neving that parachute troops would
be employed in such an attempt,
they have made careful plans to
deal with them.
