In this number Enca DcRubeis

a few days before he was indicted
into the army.
So his place was taken by Ann

Ann has eXcellcd in the more
graceful branch of roller skating.
this appearance in comedy was
nothing new 10 her. That's where
she got her start. We remember
one Of the first shows by the club
in which Ann did a comedy adagio

In this number the other night

D0rdis 10 Give
7 Formation a
Try in Practice
Titan Squad viii Also
Keep Notre Dame Style
in Spring Sessions
BY EDGAR HAYES

Charles E. Gus DoraiS has de
cided to find out if the majority
is right or not. He plans, as III
says, ITO give the T a whirl,
during spring football practice
which gets under way this after,
noon. A meeting yesterday was
attended up about 40 hopefuls anc
the outline of the work was given
"Tm going to divide the squad
Into two groups, one will use the
T and the other our regular
Notre Dame formation. That
way they'll have TO learn defense
along with offense and II the T
goes well for us, we may use 10
during the season." the coach
said.
"I've watched IL work, In fact
we used Ii many years ago and
I'm convinced with comparable
personnel the T Is a little more
effective. Many players have
been made great by its appiica-
ton. Look at George McAfee Of
tho Chicago Bears. He was just
an ordinary back at Duke but
when run from left half under
George Haas team he really
went TO town"
YOUNG DORAIS PROMISING
Eddie Barbour, freshman coach,
dropped into the coach's office
after the meeting and after wish
ing Dad Butler happy birthday"
fell TO a discussion of his fresh
men now trying out for the
VARSITY.
"One OF the best prospects we
have Is young Tommy Dorais.
the cOach's son. He was an out
standing quarterback at Univer-
sity OF Detroit High and there II
no reason why he shouldn't 90
In college. He's big, tough and d.
has fine action. At quarterback
and leading the blocking he
should do very we'll"
Then Gus revealed that Tommy
had enlisted in the Marines. That
proved he was big and tough for
the Marines physical is the sever
est OF any and Tommy passed it.
No time for his reporting was set.

Barbour is high on Tom Hetu of

MUST LOOK FOR SIGNS
Control Of Labor
Asked by McNuti

WASHINGTON - War Man.
power Commissioner Paul V. Nc
Mutt said Wednesday he expected
within two weeks TO submit to
President Roosevelt propos d
legislation to mobilize men and
women for war production. He
said bills now pending fail to
meet such a programs basic re-
quirements.
McNutt said national service
legislation must do more than
grant sweeping authority to the
president" He listed these as the
three essential powers that must
be provided:
l. Authority to require en-
ployers in any area to hire all
workers through a central agency,
the U. S. Employment Service.
"or through other central hiring
systems, such as union hiring halls,
II they meet specified standards. y
2. Authority to control methods
of labor utilization, preventing
transfer of workers from a plant
where they are needed to one
where the demand is caused solely
by improper utilization Of labor
or a desire to hoard workers.
8. Authority TO compel indi-
viduals to remain on the job or TO
transfer to another.
Each of the bills now before
the senate military affairs COM
mittee fails to meet one or more
of these basic requirements OF ma
tional service legislation" McNutt

Yank Fliers
Garry Fight
In Solomons
By SANDOR s. KLEIN
United Press Writer

WASHINGTON-American air
men, having bombed and strafed
Japanese troop and supply concen-
trations on Guadalcanal Island al
most continuously for four days,
are carrying the burden of COM
bat activity in the battle of the
Solomons Wednesday.
Officials here were unable 10 say
from this distance whether those
relentless air attacks by army.
navy and marine filters were re-
sponsible for the delay in the an
ticipated enemy offensive. But
the fact remains that the offens-
i've has not materialized although
the navy as late as Sunday an
nounced that a strong assault"
against the air field on Guadal-
canal was expected.
GIVING SUPPORT
(Allied planes of Gen. Mac
Arthur's Australian command con-
tinued their support of the Ameri-
can Solomons forces by blasting
again at the big japanese air base
at BUN on Bougainville Island and
shipping in the vicinity. They
were believed to have inflicted
heavy damage.)
An signs still point to such an
offensive sooner or later. Large
numbers of enemy warships and
auxiliaries are massed in the area.
Secretary of the Navy Knox said
the japanese have not yet thrown
their big punch at the Americans.
He apparently was referring to
the great concentration Of ships
south of Shorthand Island. about
$50 miles northwest of Guadal-
canal.
EFFECTIVENESS NOT KNOWN
There was no indication in the
navy reports of the effectiveness
of the American air raids on en-
envy positions and, because Of the
thick jungle, it was doubtful that
a complete picture Of damage done
was available even to the COM
manders on Gusdalcanal.
This much is known through
naval communications:
The Japanese have landed no
troops on Guadalcanal since last
Thursday (Solomons' time).
No report has been received OF
any offensive thrust against
American positions on Guadalcsnal
since last Thursday, either, al
though large numbers of japanese
troops are on the island.
The navy released that infor-
nation in its latest communique
a few hours after the Rome radio
was heard broadcasting that the
greatest battle ever fought in the
Pacific was in progress on Qua
