MARyLA AND MERRy-GO-ROUND-

Washington, D. c., April II. -
A favorably considered defense
transportation plan to protect in
tercoastal shipping from submar-
inc jeopardy stems directly from
the long-advocated ideas of a
Maryland man, A. F. Walker of ST.
Michaels. 1t was he who first
urged the use Of the intracoastal
canal route for oil shipments in
connection with his proposed pipe
line from Texas to Savannah.
For a long time, the office of
the Oil Coordinator in Washington
refused to encourage his plans for
a 1000-mile pipeline. And it paid
virtually no attention to the sup
Elemental transportation scheme
on which his pipeline proposal
was partly promised But other
agencies, equally concerned with
defense matters. including the
Navy, took a liking to Walkers
general idea that it would be high
ly efficacious to haul oil in wood
en- barges up and down the intra-
coastal canal from a central point
like Savannah.
Finally, Walker got the break
which has suddenly made the intra-
coastal canal page-one news. He
took his plan to Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Joseph B.
Eastman, now director of defense
transportation.
Eastman requested that the Of
fee of defense transportation
grant him and his associates of
Trans-American Pipeline a formal
hearing. This was done and in
the course Of the hearings several
witnesses went into considerable
detail about the protected route

For Men and Women

Scores of local employers en-.

Tense work are placing orders
with the United States Employ
ment Service and as a result the
Service is sending out SOS" calls
for men and women not now en-
ployed. The expected peak of en-
ployment in this section is now
in sight and the expected labor
shortage is imminent.
Hundreds of men and women
are being placed each month by
the Employment Service, and it is
predicted that during the coming
months several thousands more
will find jobs in the Hagerstown
plants. Workers from surrounding
communities are committing daily
TO Hagerstown and this number is
expected to be increased consider
ably within the near future.
Included in the long list of job
openings now available are orders
for guards, female sweepers, car
penters, collectors, knitters, mend
ers, carpenters, truck helpers,
routemen, furniture finishers, bak-
cry laborers, ice cream freezer
men, spray painters, stenographers
and typists, hand pressers, assem-
blers, sheet metal workers and

Prospects for Fast Club

With the opening of the Inter

carpenters hammering away at the

what promises 10 be the most sue
tessful season in the history of or
ganized ball in Hagerstown.
While the war is playing havoc
in many leagues the Interstate
loop as far as the Owls are con-
cerned, have little cause for con-
Germ. Several Of the old 1941 play
ers are back into camp and Man
ager Dutch Dorman has succeeded
in signing up a group of fast,
hard-hitting recruits who are GER
tain to give the local club driving
power.
In the opinion of those who have
followed baseball here for, many
years, this season should also
prove a record breaker from the
standpoint of attendance. In for
mer years thousands of fans jour
neyed to Washington and Balti-
more during the season to witness
the higher league in action but
this year, because OF the tire RAJ
tioning regulations, and the in
crease in population, the Owls are
expected to be the main diamond

FIRE-FIGHTERS
Study the Maryland plan," is
the advice given by Arthur c. Les
ter Walker in Harper's Magazine
and the Readers Digest to civil

bombing by the enemy.
Walker describes in some detail
how Governor Herbert OConor
took on the task of coordinating
all Maryland's fire-fighting forces
for war emergency" so that if g
fire chief should need extra equip

to get it. After paying tribute to

1t isn't generally known but To-
cal GOPites are really worried.
II seems that with the election
coming up fast, the crop of pros
pective candidates is becoming
smaller. Not so many months
ago the Republicans were crow
ing about how they would slay
the pemmies with housekeeping,
brilliant and substantial candi-
dates. II all sounded we'll, but
when the leaders started looking
around and asking these b'hoys
to give thought to the idea, the
answers were very discouraging.
They were either too busy with
National Defense or asked that
every increasing embarrassing
question: "Where are the Repub-
Iican votes coming from"
Prior to the war, political jobs
were in demand. Everybody, it
seems wanted on the tickets and
were willing to spend the dough.
AS matter of fact some of those
who failed to make the grade ac-
tually became worked up about
the matter and suiked in their
tents for months. But times
ave changed, and the veteran
politicians who thrive on politi-
cal gossip are due for long, lean

provided by the intracoastal canal.
Impressed, Eastman asked many
leading questions about the present
and possible depths of the canal,
and about the types of barges that
could be used on it.
Several weeks went by during
which time Eastman had several
conferences with the president
Then suddenly the President made
the canal hot news by pointing out
the advantages it offered as a pro-
tected commercial lane up and
down the Atlantic coast Stimuli
taneously. the Chesapeake Bay
ship-building industry took stock
of itself and announced it was in
a position to meet the demand for
waterway barges of all types.
Improvement of the canal and
its use as main north-south
transportation artery not only will
boom the Port of Baltimore, but
will transform Chesapeake Bay
and it's tributaries from rather
nostalgia rural scene to a beehive
of ship-building activity.

SASSCER'S EX-SCHOOL

When Congressman Lansdale

At the Germans back, Marshal

the defenders crushing Nazi strong
points and smashing their furious
counter attacks.
The Soviety noon communique

For three days, the Germans have

del on the south coast, has been
removed. lit was understood today.
Australian ground forces had driv-
en- the japanese, weakened and de-
mOralized by hunger and privation,
back across the owen Stanley noun
tainS.
The enemy forces had fallen into
a trap and as the result had suffer-
ed their second major defeat in New
Guinea in five weeks. The first
had come when the Australians,
aided by a small force of American
troops, had trapped a big enemy
invasion force at Milne bay.
JAPS IN HOLE
There was doubt whether the
Japanese would now be able to offer
new threat to Port Moresby-or,
through New Guinea, to northeast
ern Australia without riSking naval
fleet in a frontal attack.
At the same time it was implied
that Macarthur, aware of the diff
ficultieS involved, would not start
a drive to sweep the enemy from
the invasion bases along the north
New Guinea coast without long and
thorough preparation and probably
the support of fleet of his own.
Macarthur reported today, in his
United Nations headquarters COM
munique No. 179:
Owen Stanley area.
This incredibly difficult range of
mountains presents almost inSuper-
able complications in the mainten-
ance of supply lines for troop units
of any size.
NO ALLIED LOSS
The enemy as we expected and
anticipated has discovered that his
supply problems, aggravated by our
constant air attacks, were impoS-
sible of immediate solution.
His dislodgement at his farthest
point of advance and the pursuit
of his exhausted forces has been ac-
complished with practically no loss
to our troops to the present time.
The same difficulties of terrain
are now progressively slowing down
the advancs of our ground troops"
The Australians, veterans of Mid
die Eastern campaigns, had advanc-
ed slowly and relentlessly from the
farthest point of the enemy ad-

The other points of the document,

l. The United States should keep
large air force in China.
2. The United States and other
United Nations should endeayor to
