paper work on those three-quar-
tiers of a million cards is going
to be no small item and to avoid
this mountain of detail, Balti-
more is tackling the job on a diff
ferent plan.
The Baltimore idea for re-
cruiting this now-idle labor is to
establish community employ
ment center in the downtown
area, which will be war employ
ment headquarters. Simple ma
chimes, sample factory opera
tons will be set up there, and
there will be women, older
workers, handicapped workers
on the job showing how easy
these jobs are, how quickly they
can be mastered.
WHOOPING 1T UP
A systematic canvass of the
entire city is then to be made,
precinct by precinct. Civilian
Defense, Citizens Volunteer
Corps workers will make house
to house calls to line up the idle
workers, get them to visit or
actually take them to the en-
ployment center, show them the
machine operations or bench
jobs, let them throw the switches
and pull the levers and sell
them right on the spot the idea
of taking a job with x factory
or Y plant. The community CEN
ter will be worked at night.
Lodges, societies, church groups,
any and every kind of organiza-
ton will be invited to hold a
meeting in the center and spread
the word as to what kinds of
jobs there are open.
Major employers will have
their personnel representatives
handy to sign up anyone want
ing job. Federally operated vo-
cational schools will be the to
sign people up for training
courses. The press and the radio
will be asked to whoop it ut for
a recruiting campaign that will
produce direct results.
Maybe it's a goofy stunt.
Maybe it won't work. At least it
has the merit of being an idea
and it is better than wringing
the hands or tearing out the hair
and wondering where, oh, where
the labor is coming from to man
the machines behind the men
behind the guns.

MARCHING ALONG
Cary Grant is about to follow
Clark Gable into the Army Air
Corps. The Army is due to get
Mickey Rooney any time, now,
unless he goes down to the sea
and ships somewhere with the
Coast Guard. George Brent may
be uniform by the time you read
this.
Deanna Durbin's husband is in
the Navy, but she spends her
spare time knitting Army socks.
Brown wool was all she could
get. Dorothy Lamour's a
patriot to her fingertips; wears
red-White- and-blue nails in the
evening.
You still can CLEAN significant
foreign news from obscure items
in the movie trade press: Axis
howls have persuaded Argentina
TO ban shoWings of 1.-THE Invad-
ers" and Secret Agent of ia
pan" At the same time, a new
trade treaty between Argentina
and Spain apparently will admit
axis propaganda films to the
South American country.
Now it looks like Ann Hard
ing instead of either Katharine
Hepburn or Greta Carlo for the
Madame Curie picture.

It's a puzzle why busy and
prosperous actors want to take
on the additional headaches and
responsibilities of film produc-
ton. But Jimmy Cagney and
Charles Boyer have done it; Gary
Cooper is talking a deal as pro-
ducer-star for United Artists;
and Jack Benny-already con-
firmed worrier-has agreed to

dummy. South ducked and West
won. Another club lead knock
ed out the ace. South led a low
heart, West played low and the
queen won, giving the deciaret
his contract.
When criticized for letting
himself be end-played, South
stated that in view of the estab.
lished clubs, he would have to
lead hearts anyhow in the hope
that North held the ace.
AS in many cases, simple
arithmetic should show South
his correct defense. He knows
that West can win exactly five
trump tricks, no more until he
himself has opened hearts to
give dummy a remote ruff. De-
clarer can also win three clubs
That leaves him two short for
the contract, and he can make
his bid only by winning the first
two rounds of hearts. The indi.
Gated defense is for South to hop
up with the ace of clubs, exit
with the three-spot and let the
declarer open the heart suit.

In the past year and a half,
the general practise of the
larger employers in the area has
been to 60 out into neighboring
states, as far away as North
Carolina and Tennessee, and
recruit labor wholesale. More
than 70 thousand workers have
thus been brought into the. area,
creating untold problems of
housing and transportation. To-
day, Baltimore simply hasn't any
more living space available, and
if its manpower problems are to
be met at all, they must be met
by full use of the existing Ia
Dor reserve. The problem of the
local manpower commission is to
get out that labor reserve, train
it in time to be of use when
needed, grading the semi
skilled workers all along the
line and replacing them with
unskilled labor.
TWO PLANS
The new labor source which
is looked to most hopefully to
meet these requirements is
among the unemployed women.
One Baltimore plant estimates
it will be needing 500 additional
women workers per week for
the rest of the year. If only 800
of those women can be found To-
cally, the remainder will of
course have to be recruited from
Maryland or Virginia or other
nearby states.
Detroit has just completed a
survey of 100000 unemployed
women in its surrounding coun-
ties to meet a problem similar to
Baltimore's The Detroit system
has been to register all these
women and have them fill out
cards indicating their depend
ents and their willingness to
work in factory, store, clerical

THINK A YOUNG WAY

Deeds ore what count-not words. But the War
Production Boards action thus far gives life to the
most PROMISING words that have come out Of Wash
nghton in weeks:
I'VE are trying to think in young way on this,
E. A. Locke, Jr ossistont to Donald Nelson sold the
other day of Henry Koiser's cargo plane proposal
vigorously freshly, without prejudice.
From here on we are determined to provide the
leadership in this war and to be the first with all
that is new and better Then let the Hun follow otter
Mr. Locke is just one out Of the thousands
who are to be translated into victory Perhaps he is
just an optimst, PoIyonno, q prophet crying in
wilderness Of Bureaucratic inertia and troditionosm.
"Hof of America is doing things it never did
before, and the other half is waiting to do them"
said Kaiser And Locke tossed back the fIot answer:
I'VE will not keep that other half waiting long"
Nothing thot has out Of this war effort is
made encouraging if you stop to consider its nPllco
TONS than the response Of Locke, Nelson and Frank
lin Roosevelt to Henry Koiser's dramatic proposal
that we begin huge air freiehter development.
While still the die-hords we're explaining why 1T
can't be done," Nelson, otter q conference with the
President gave Kaiser preliminary order for rs
seventy.ton planes, with the understanding that if
the Pacific Coast wonder man makes good on those,
there will be another BIS to follow.
No less startling in its young thinking was the
simultaneous approval Of the experimental building
Of 2OOton cargo pIone-o vertoble monster of
the air, yet within the bounds Of what oeronoutcol
engineers believe is entirely practicable today
Five hundred of the larger croft, sold Locke could
service with bombs, ommunitions, spare ports eoso-
line and food the So 900 pilots and mechanics thot
would be needed to send 1000 big bonbers Berlin
every day in the year.
The air cargo idea may not prove feasible, on the
scale being discussed. But whatever the result
Of this experiment. or the next or the that may
come otter, we have begun to win this war if Wash
ineton really is behind Mr. Locke's promise:

By KEITH WHEELER Chicago Times Copyright, 1942)

ABOARD A FORTRESS BOMB ER ENROUTE TO KISKA, (Re- leased for publication by the Navy) June 26.- Deiayed) We are an hour from our target and the radio man picks up a distress message from a PBY Catalina Flying Boat scouting ahead of us.
 A Jap fighter has caught the Cat over Kiska and he is trying to get home with one gunner dead, an- other wounded in the leg, and the Naval photographer has a bullet through his back and may die be- fore they get in.
 One aileron control has been shot away and he's having trouble keep ing the big boat under control.
 Tn another hour we'll be over Kiska ourselves and the 500-pound packages tiered up over our bomb racks will be paying off for that one.
 We odnt know what we'll find in Kiska nor how much we'll be able to see. You never know in the eternal Aleutian fog. but we won't be bringing our bombs home again.
