There are many differing theories as
TO the measurement of this country's
manpower crisis. They range from the
theoretically ideal-the ratio-of-workers-
to-soldiers idea - to the pessimistically
practical - the that s-all-there-is, we've
got-to-stop thesis.
K. A. Locke, jr.. Donald Nelson's assist
ant. sums il up this way. Normally there
are about 100000 gainfully employed
workers Next year we shall need a min
imum of 100000 for essential indus
tries and services, plus-he says-"per-
haps up to 12,000,000" in uniforms.
That calls for nine millions of new
workers. MIR. Locke says the normal II
or $4,000, 900 women in industry must be
stepped up to about 20,000,000 which
would leave about 100000 men to be
provided.
We hope that Mr.. Locke, is not over
optimistic. We would hate to have any
large bet that we shall get by as easily
as that.

best solution Is to try to get the
man into a job he knows is essen

That will help to make him feel
he Is playing a real part in the
war effort.
The worst thing woman can
do in any of those circumstances is
take the mans dissatisfaction with
his life as a personal insult.
A mans wanting to be in the

doesn't love his wife and his home.

remained in offlce it would be "an. other proof" of the impotence and cowardice of che Democratic sys- tenn. The said commons members had no political courage and Lord Flaw Flaw, the British traitor broadcaster from Berlin, said that while of course the Axis would be glad if Churchill, Loser of battles" !" remained in oflce 1t was in Britain'S interest to overthrow him.
 Aside from an agreed communiQue on his Washington talks. it was forecast that Churchill would make no statement on the war until the commons debate and that then he would speak fully, frankly and bel- igerently on the Egyptian situation and the war in general, and then demand vote on the most hostile of the numerous motions introduced for the debate.
 The great British air raid on Bremen did little to appease public or parliamentary resentment over the Tobruk defeat and the present of an Axis army in Egypt.
 There was general demand that, if the present direction of the war was the best possible, Churchill prove it by showing results. But the belief seemed to be growing that the war direction would best be served if Churchill gave up the defense ministry and put another man in it, possibly Gen. Sir Archi. bald Wavell, commander -in-chief in India, or Lieut.. Gen. Andrew Mo- Naughton, commanding Canadian forces in Britain.

 of the Navy Department which, he said, had notified Walsh that 1t had deferred indefinitely work on the last five battleships authorized by Congress. He said construction would not be undertaken until the navy consulted with the naval af- fairs committees of both houses.
 Sen. Ralph O. Brewster, R., Me-, revealed last week that the five ships were of the Montana class, designed as 60,00O-ton super dread- naughts, the biggest and most pow erful fighting ships ever planned. In addition to the Montana they were to be called the Ohio, Maine, New Hampshire and Louisiana.
 Brewster said the navy, instead of going ahead with these vessels, would expand its aircraft carrier program approximately in the light of the lessons of naval war fare learned in the Coral Sea and Midway Island battles.
 But only Clark was heard to vote in favor of writing the legislative death knell of the battleships, and among those who shouted down his amendment was Sen. Tom Connally, D., Tex, who roared:
 "I'm not going to vote tonight to send & message to the mikado: Come on over, we're not going to have any battleshipS to resist you. ,"
 The Senate's speed in approving the gigantic measure was matched by the Senate appropriations com- mittee in providing funds for the army. A subcommittee whipped through the $42. .82O. .94S 900 war SUD- ply bill for 1943 without change after only two days of testimony from high army officials and 1t was indicated the Senate will pass the bill on Monday.

 The fact that the permitted erec- ton has already been made does not alter the situation, the judge states. He mentioned that no ore der restraining the erection has been obtained by the appellants but stated "the owner acquired no vest ed right to act under the permis- sion" in view of the lack of a re- straining order.
 Atty. John H. Cassidy, counsel for the Cycamore corporation, is ex- pected to appeal the case to the su- preme court of errors.

 "... The German command hurls considerable numbers of tanks and aircraft in to support their infantry It said. "Our troops selflessly re- pulsed enemy attacks. Our men in- 9iict enormous losses in manpower and arms upon the enemy. As 8 result of stubborn fighting, some populated places changed hands several times.
 "In one sector Red Army men of . unit of guards repulsed three fierce attacks of the Hitlerites and killed nearly 2O0O German officers and men and destroyed 60 trucks, % carts of supplies and four tanks"
 Sevastopol was still holding out as the third week of the Germans relentless day and night assault be- gan. Dispatches to the Soviet army newspaper Red Star said, however, that Sevastopol's Qualifications were partially hattened and individual firing points suppressed" Thus the defenders task was made harder as the Germans poured more men into the assault and continually ham, mered the city with big guns.
 Red Star said that more than 13 divisions-195,000 men-had been thrown into the assault.
 (Military observers in London be- lieved the Germans had set the stage for two-pronged drive into the Caucasus, especially if their claim that they had captured Izyum, as well as Kupyansk, was true Field Marshal Fedor von Book re- garded the capture of these objec- lives so highly that he had thrown two full tank divisions and 400 dive bombers into the battle for them, these observers said.)

 The Germans were reported con- centrating increasingly stronger force, with heavy tanks, in the desert area to the south, seding out light patrols of armered cars to feel out British strength which was even yet not great.
 But Rommel continued to push his main army eastward along the railroad, using the camel tracks on both sides of it.

 Some German planes hit at the railroad, in an attempt to smash 1t, while others bombed the wide mine field and the many box forti- facations and strong posts which the British built at the start of the war, when an Italian break for Suez was feared.
