or have a right to. work at the
shipyards during off hours. and
even the question Of whether they
are doing so now. provided debate
material for an overtime admins
trative session Of the city fathers
Thursday.
The actual city charter rule
In that n man may not hold
position which interferes
with his work for the city.
Two members Of the civil serv-
ice commission, Arthur Borcher
and Charles L. Morton, accom-
panied by Secretary Glen Ander-
son. called upon the council Thurs
day to make some new definition.
In view OF the fact that some city
employees are taking outside jobs.
Says Only Few Working
Utilities Commissioner o'Nell
persisted in the opinion that few.
IL any. OF his 700 employees are
working outside his department.
He asserted that man could not
efficiently hold two jobs.
Its your guess and my
guess" suggested Mayor Cain,
"but you have about 100 en-
pioyes and IN bet 100 of them
are doing exactly what you
don't want DONE"
I'll bet there aren't more than
half a Dozen said o'Neil. we
have a pretty good record of what
our men are doing"
"You had one man working
at the shipyard three MONTHS"
responded Cain, land you did
not know IT,.
He referred to a mechanic re-
Gently fired for holding two full
time jobs.
Protests Outside Jobs
O'Neil declared his resistance TO
any move which might encourage
his men to take short-shift jobs
at the shipyard in their spare time.
'If we get n water main
broken" he told the others,
"wen have fine time get
ting II fixed. n the men are
working at the shipyard."
Then your records should be
In shape so you know who's work.
ing there and who isn't" the
mayor countered.
Morton asked O'Neil II he
thought a man working five days
for the light department and the
sixth and seventh day on another
Job would impair his efficiency.
II think so," said O'Neil.
.1f II doesn't certainly their
arguments in the past were
all wrong"
The whole idea of men wanting
to work at the shipyard In of
hours, the commissioner protested
would be inconsistent with theii
refusal to work Saturdays for the
city at straight time.
Langseth Uncertain
Cain asked Safety Commissioner
Langseth how many Of his mer
were working on other jobs.
Il don't know. but l think n
good many Of them are work
Ing In beer parlors." Langseth
said. Later. when thes ubject
of men getting permission of
department heads before TAX
ing outside Jobs was brought
up. he expanded that. "ff
fellow gets job in q beer
parlor. he comes and asks me
n he can do II. ! say, Go
ahead"
He referred TO men working a
''bouncers" in tayerns.
The question of new civil
service rules 60 authorize
working on shipyard short
shifts, and so the city would
know how many men are
working, was left unsettled.

ey the Associated Press.
The War Production Board today
ordered immediate stoppage of all
work on the $45 100000 expansion of
Continental Ordnance Plant at
Hammond, Ind, in line with its pol
icy of curtailing the use of materials
for construction projects.
Work on the project, designed to
produce heavy machine castings,
was started in August by the Conti-
mental Ordnace Corp, East Chicago.
WPB estimated the value of con-
struction now in place at approx
mately 100000.
The Army, which sponsored the
project, has concurred with WPB on
the stoppage ORDER" the announce
ment said.
Chairman Donald NJ Nelson of
WPB announced October 81 policy
Of curtailing construction programs
in order to make materials avallab BILE
for direct military use and for such
programs as the rubber, high -octane
gasoline, aviation, aluminium and
alloy steel expansion programs.
Furthermore, today's announce
ment said. "all construction pro-
grams under the policy must balance
with production programs and the
proposed expansion at Hammond
would not be completed in sufficient
time to justify the large expendi-
ture of the critical materials"

Other members of the committee
explained that it would be a simple
matter to bring about Mr.. Hender-
sons resignation by writing into the
OPA supply bill provision that.

Some members went so far as to
suggest that OPA be abolished en-
tlrely and its functions turned over,
TO James Byrnes, economic stabiliza-
ton director.
From influential Republicans came
predictions that one of the first
things the strengthened minority
would demand when the new Con-

Reports from a reliable South

gravely i'll and, if he became fully
incapacitated, might be succeeded
by a government likely to discuss 6
separate peace for Italy.
(These reports were similar to
those few days ago from Lon

military leaders in Germany were
forming Junkers junta with a
view to isolating Hitler and TAX
ing control of the government.
There is possibility that all
were inspired by Axis leaders in

day from officials reported involved
in the proposed cabinet reshuff1e of
their concern over possible future
relations of the civilian production,
procurement and manpoWer officials
with military authorities responsible
for keeping the armed forces sup
piled with men and material.
Information conveyed to the COM

to the effect that a ranking military
officer had announced that his Office
is ready to take over the entire ra-
tioning system. The Army officer
was reported to have said he had
already set up an organization to
do this work. So far as it could be
learned this was the first time a

desire to handle the rationing

Army Plan 10 Convert
Colleges Into Training
Bases Announced
250, 900 May Enroll;
Courses to Provide
Troined Specialists
By The Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Nov. 28-Facing q
heavy loss in enrolment due to
operation of the draft law, colleges
and universities learned today that
their classrooms may be filled by as
many as 250,0OO men from the
armed forces under plan expected
to be outlined in detail within the
next two weeks.
This proposed large-scale CONVEX
sion of many of the Nations insti-
tutions of higher learning into
training bases was disclosed yester-
day by 1t. Col. Harley B. West Of
the War Department General Staff,
who emphasized that any such rela-
tionship between the armed services
and the schools will be on VOL
untary basis.
He told a meeting of. the Middle
States Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools that the Gov
ernment would like to set the plan
in operation at the earliest possible
moment to offset the disruption
which will be caused to colleges by
the drafting of l8 and 10 year-old
men.
Will Not Be Requisitioned.
Celebrating on the point that
there would be no requisitioning,
Joseph w. Barker, dean OF the Co.
lumbia University School of Engi-
neering and special assistant to Sec
retary Knox, told the educators:
There is no desire on the part of
either the Army or the Navy to
dictate to you what you must do.
We are hoping to give you a maxi
mum of leeway in the presentation
of material and maximum of
academic freedom"
Dl. Edmund E. Day, president of
Cornell University, estimated that
as many as 250,000 servicemen may
be sent to colleges under the plan.
Technical Courses Planned.
Emphasis in instruction. Col. West
explained, would be placed on scien-
tiflc and technical courses, and STU
dents would be selected from young
men in the Army who have demon
strated the aptitude to receive such
higher education
| He said. soldiers would live under
Army discipline and receive Army
pay and would take courses lasting
from Eine months to two years
Since students already would have
received military instruction before
enrolment, it was explained that
military training would be SUBJ
ordinated to academic work.
| 1t was assumed that the courses
offered would provide highly trained
specialists for the armed services.
