NO LABOR POWERS
He emphasized that the commits
sion does not replace the existing
machinery for collective bargain
ing, mediation and the settling of
labor disputes" But it will cooper
ate closely with the war labor board,
he added.
Labor shortages are currently
critical in many occupations" Nc
Mutt said. For example, for every
skilled tool designer available, 81

and supply of toolmakers is 25-l;
for ship carpenters. I'll; for marine
machinists, 22-1; for aircraft rivet-
ers, Al"
He said an additional 10.500000
skilled and semi-skilled workers
would be needed in war production
this year. A large portion of these,
he said. would have to be obtained
through recruiting of women, young
people. and retired workers.
DISCRIMINATION
McNutt denounced racial and 9TH
er discrimination in some war pro-
duction plants, which he said was
intensifying labor shortages.
In one overcrowded war industry
center. native white workers have
been imported from hundreds of
miles away, although. fully qualified
Negro and loyal foreign-born work
ers were available at the plants
doorstep" he said.
In other cases, employers still
turn down fully-qualified applicants
who are locally available merely be-
cause they are women or too old or
physically handicapped.
IF this is to be a long war-and
think we must make that aSsump-
tion-we must now face the fact
that we may be confronted with an
overall nationwide labor shortage.
Positive action taken in time will
prevent the necessity for more dras-
tic measures later on"

Death Toll Of Jews
In Poland Now Put
At 100000
Disease and Starvation
Allowed to Run Rompont,
Council in London Told
BY DAVID M. NICHOL,

ForeiEn CORRESPONDENT Of The Star and
Chicago Daily News
LONDON, June 26.-Out of the
gray horror the Nazis have made
of Poland came new evidence today
OF the systematic determination OF
the Jewish population, with the
death toll from various causes now
estimated at more than 100000.
According to report sent through
secret channels to representatives
OF the Polish National Council here.
disease and starvation are allowed
to operate to the fullest extent.
Where these means are considered
insufficient or slow. massacre tao
tics often are substituted, these
sources say.
When the Nazis attacked Poland.
the Jewish population there was es-
timated roughly at 5000, 900. Deaths
since then would account for al
most IS per cent OF this number.
Gas Chambers Reported Used.
Polish sources insist the Nazis
are using portable gas chambers
In some sections, perhaps testing
iethal weapons which may some
time And more general use. One
such instance was reported at the
village Of Chelmno, near Lowicz.
where Jews were crowded 90 at a
time into the chamber. Mass burial
followed In Lubardski Forest.
These accounts find grim con-
firmation in reports current within
the Reich in the last two years of
carefully guarded activities at Castle
Grafeneck in Southern Germany.
Until Na1i censors intervened, the
German press carried 4 series of
notices lamenting the sudden"
deaths OF relatives, in most cases
from hospitals for the incurabIy i'll
or mental detectives. Many are
believed to have been taken to
Grafeneck in sealed vans under
Gestapo and S. S. guards. The
bodies subsequently were cremated
and the ashes shipped to unsus-
pecting families.
Many Deaths In Ghetto,
The Germans own figures indi-
cate . tremendous number of deaths
In the Warsaw Ghetto where 900
were listed in January, l94l, COM
pared with $500 in August, le41.
Many Of the deaths were traced to
starvation and disease in the walled
quarters where 600 900 persons are
living In accommodations previously
housing one-fourth of this many
before the section was damaged by
war.

gan first In those sections OF Poland

and subsequently spread to the
general government" according to
information in Polish circles here.

In making the announcement
Sergeant Waymond Gaillard Of the

men between Is and As a enlist
for the Corps of Engineers. Men ID

achute troops. AS this branch Of the
service pays an additional $50 per

rolls of your wringer. Be sure that
the pressure or the rolls is evenly
distributed when you are using the
wringer. Don't stall or strain the
wringer by putting too much cloth
ing through at one time. Fold but
tons and buckles to the inside of
the clothes before you wiring them.
Be sure to release the pressure on
the wringer rolls when 'yashing is

each hen in your flock in 1912. If

be fed in a hopper; the grain may
be fed in a trough or in clean litter.
Weather conditio:,s, breed and pro-

fully until all sand and trash are re-
moved. This is easiest done under a
slow flow of water from the faucet
using a sieve to hold berries. Remove
hulls or caps. Place the cul berries
in a sauce pan with cover; then
place over a slow heat to soften
so as to extract juice. They may be
crushed to hasten juice extraction.
Avoid scorching. Cap the perfect
berries and place in clean dry jar,
shaking occasionally to settle berries
into place so that jar is comfort
ably filled. Strain the hot juice over
the berries. Adjust cap or rubber

place will retain color and flavor.
Juice and berries are excellent to
use in shortcake or topping for ice
cream or pudding. They also may be
used later for jam making if sugar
is available. This method differs
from that recommended for use in
canning black berries, dew berries
and young berries, in that these are
boiled while boilding breaks down
