Two Marines Plead Guilty
To Bad Check CHARGES

A pair of young marines, their
months spree at an end, today
found themselves classed as desert
ers and facing sentence on charges
of passing total of II bad checks.
The twos are Alfred E. Dickman.
ID, of Piqua, Ohio, and Alphonzo L.
Bookout, ls, of Springdale, Ark,
who pleaded guilty to the bad check
charges in Municipal Court yester-
day.
Detective Sergt. D. A. Higgins OF
the check squad told Judge John
P. Mcmahon that the checks, total
ing S465. were cashed at jewelry
and clothing stores. The two ma
rines got both goods and cash, Sergt
Higgins said. They gave much OF
the jewelry to girl friends, the court
was told
Members of the Marine Corps for
more than two years. they were
stationed at New River, N. c., and
left there about a month ago on

tribution OF Russia's workers to the
fight against NaZi Germany but q
few facts about the miners OF the
Moscow coal basin are a typical
example of what is going on, month
after month, from the Volga to
Siberia's Lake Baikal and beyond.
On June one pit in the Moscow
coal basin filled its six months
production quota and on July 81
this pit completed its output sched-
uled for September l-35 days of
excess production in less than seven
month.
In the Moscow basin the average
output of coal has been raised to
220 per cent in comparison to its
pre-War production. But this tre-
mendous increase has not been due
to big increase in the number of
employees or to new machinery. 1t
has been accomplished almost sole
ly by the outpouring of the sweat
of laborers, by fiercely determined
competitive effort which is in vogue
all over the Soviet Union through
the so-called Socialist competitions
which means acceptance of quotas
which are upped, and upped again.
Sacrifice Off Days.

In q single shift. Next day . coal
loader in the same pit boosted his
daily norm by 400 per cent. Just to
show his pal how it could be done.
Here is a brief quotation from a
typical industrial report in the So
Wet press:
open hearth furnacemen of the
Kuznetsk Iron and Steel Works
have succeeded in cutting the time
for melt by 30 minutes during the
past two months"
Is there any other Allied country
where the saving of 30 minutes in
industrial operation by the volun-
tary effort of the workers them
selves is regarded of such Importance
as to be news? In Russia such &C
complishment Is not news. 1t is
published for two reasons--as a mat
ter OF pride and as badge of honor
for Russia's industrial heroes.

Soviet Industrial Workers
Often Toll ID Hours q Day
They Fight Unreported War in Mines
And Factories With Tremendous Zeal

Afghanistan and India, deep in Gen.
tral Siberia and beyond. Millions
and millions of Soviet workers toll
for victory and among them are
nobody knows how many hundreds
of thousands of women whose hus-
bands are at the front.
These Socialist workers have given
up lsbor's most cherished right, the
Z or s hour day. For the sake of
arming their country and for the
ultimate defeat of Hitlerism, they
perform prodigies Of endurance
while still living on the plainest
diet in which meat has been re-
duced to the absolute minimum OF
an occasional luxury.

These Russian men and women
work much longer than American
workers. Vast numbers Of them are

slams must shiver all winter long or
almost freeze to death. At best,
most Russian homes will only be
able to be one-quarter heated when
the temperature is 80 or 40 below
zero. Only the greatly increased
production in other coal mines and
enormous quantities of wood cut for
fuel will enable the people to sur
vive the winter.
To do their part in this national
emergency the miners of the Moscow
basin have agreed to sacrifice two
of their off days month in order to
provide Moscow with its essential
coal supply. BY the end of the year,
these two extra days production a
month will amount for every miner
to an additional 10 tons of coal for
Moscow-in the estimates of the
additional scores of thousands OF
tons of coal taken out of the volun-
tary sweat OF the coal miners brows
The same miners are taking no
money for their extra off-day work
but contributing wages toward new
tank column for the army.

Productive Man Power
Shortage Possible,
Gen. Hershey Hints
Orderly Placement Of
Men and Women in
War Effort Stressed

Despite Americas tremendous
man power, there may be an actual
shortage of enough persons to carry
out the tasks which this war de-
mands, Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey,
national director of Selective Serv-
ice. suggested last night in an in
formal speech at the annual dinner
of the Legal Aid Bureau at the
University Club.
Gen. Hershey saw possibility Of
100000 to 100000 productive
units" in which able bodied and
effective individual citizens would be
modified to serve their country in
q complexity of capacities.
II don't believe" he said. there's
a place in the armed forces for every
one who wants to join them"
Emphasizes Placement.
Gen. Hershey added that he didn't
want to be quoted as one counseling
moderation in building up the armed
forces, but he meant to emphasize
the necessity of Systematically plac-
ing men and women where they are
most needed.
Gen. Hershey cited the difficulty
OF convincing those who wanted
action that 1t was essential for many
of them to remain behind and do
other work. Selective Service. he
declared, is trying to get away from
a mere emotional appeal that sends
men blindly to enlist regardless of
their qualifications. Instead, he ex-
planned, it is trying to work out an
orderly system which will place each
individual where he or she is most
suited.
Is or 20 Million Women.
Should. say, 60,O0O,0OO citizens be
drafted into productive units, he
said. between 100000 and 2O,O00,-
900 would be women.
But in choosing an Army of 3,000,-
900 to 100000 or more. he added.
Government. business and agricul-
ture all will be expected to yield
their proportionate share.
Pointing out that more than
Evening star., 1942-03-13

100000 persons were expected TO
be moved from other work into war
industries, Gen. Hershey said: 1--WE
face a very real shortage in man
and woman power when we consider
what has to be done. Eventually
each of us may be doing something
that has to be done"
Gen. Hershey paid tribute to the
American bar for providing invalu-
able volunteer services of lawyers to
aid in the smooth functioning of the
Selective Service System.
Dean H. Stanley. president of
the bureaus Board of Trustees. was
toastmaster. The dinner marked the
10th year of the Legal Aid Bureau,
which provides help for those un-
able to employ attorneys. The bu-
reau is affiliated with the Commu-
