out, while lowering the age limit
to allow 18 and 19-year olds to be
called would postpone it.
Dates of Call Estimated.
Presuming that enough 20-year
olds among those who registered
June 80 would be available for serv-
ice to fill two months calls, the draft
officials made the following estimates
of how many months would elapse
before each group previously defer

called for service in the order Of call
authorized under the newly amended
dependency policy.

United States bombers sank a Jap

One 50O-pound crump fell square

side a transport close enough, the
bombardier felt, to make serious
underwater damage a certainty.
AS usual, the Japs had their guns

Army and Navy Set Up
Joint Labor Policy for
U. 5.-0wned Plants
Program Coils for Delay
In Recognizing Bargaining
Agents to End Confusion
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

The War and Navy Depart
ments moved for smoother labor
relationships within Govern
ment-owned munitions plants by
issuing late yesterday joint
statement of policy, which in
cluded deferment of recognition
of bargaining agent within a
plant until a majority OF pers-
onnel had been hired.
The policy applies to the nearly
100 giant, Government-owned, pri-
vately-operated plants which manu-
facture explosives and ammunition,
assemble bombers, fabricate guns
and other munitions and are the
backbone of the armament program.
Although the Army and Navy have
complete control over operations, the
plants present, it was said, an un-
usual relationship among Govern
ment, labor and management. Pri-
vate operators receive fixed fees for
services, and plants may be taken
over by the Government at any
time.
Another provision of the policy,
which the American Federation of
Labor and the Congress of Indus
trial Organizations helped to draft
and agreed to, is that seniority shall
be determining factor in matters
affecting layoff and Unemployment,
transfers, demotions and promo
tions, only if factors of ability and
aptitude are equal"
End to Confusion Sought.
Since the War and Navy Depart
ments in most instances have re-
sponsibility for approval of all costs,
the agencies will from time to time
agree on policies to govern the exer-
else Of these contractural RESPONSE
bilities ito approve or disapprove
proposed wage scales" at the plants.
1t was said that management and
employees may enter into no agree
ment, except those that affect the
safety and health of employees, which
in the opinion of the services may
restrict or hamper maximum pro-
duction.
The part of the policy pertaining
to collective bargaining was designed
to put an end to confusion and delay
created in number of new plants
where various unions have fought
for recognition almost from the
moment the plant opened. Control
