work that Negroes could do equally well. Recent experiments in this semi southern city indi- cate, however, that the two races can and will work harmoniously side by side where adequate ac- commodations have been pro- vided.
 One reason why women are not used more is that large propor- tion of Baltimore women do not want to work in factories, and will do so only if they must.
 Canvassing this reluctance, Mar ket Analysts, Inc, surveying the situation here for a group of New England win-the-war enthusiasts. sent investigators into homes to ask women'S reactions.
 Most of the women canvassed, between the ages of 18 and Q, conceived of the war as some thing far away, that never would come home to Baltimore. Two

 Jot down on your shopping list the ceiling prices for the kinds of soup you expect to buy. Ceilings for tomato and vegetable soup, at least, must be posted in the store be- cause they are cost-of living goods. Take the list with you next time you go marketing, and if your store charges you more than the prices you have written down, take it up with the storekeeper. If that doesn't bring results, notify your local war price and rationing board.
 Question any price increases on soups that do not carry the new labels. Since the special ceilings do not apply to them, your store can& not charge you more for these soups than the highest price it hcarged in March.

more has enough men ana women
 In this single classification, avail able for employment, the Comm1s- sion reports that there are 10,90O men. POLIO childless women and l. TOO mothers who could and might do war work.
 But SO long as employers can turn up their noses at applicants they do not care for, so long as potential workers can turn their backs on employment that does not appeal to them, so long as there is no overall correlation of labor requirements and labor sup ply, the present chaos is expected to continue.
 Thus, out of the 371000 avail abel for war employment in Bal tinlore, experts expect that not more than 12.000 will be used. while 10000 will come in from elsewhere and add 10000 new residents to already overcroWded Baltimore.
 NEARLY SOO,OOO
 WOMEN AVAILABLE
 The reasons given for this are several. Some are claimed to be typical of industrial communities everywhere, while others are be- lieved to be more representative of the South, on whose border Baltimore lies.
 Baltimore employers, like those of many other cities, generally have avoided Negroes for all but the more menial tasks. But of the S71,OoO people who could be put onto war production here, 13,OQO are Negro men and 33,000 are Negro women.
 Baltimore employers, like others, have been slow about taking on wo- men for other than stenographic or clerical tasks. The supply of po- tential workers includes 100000 white women and 33,000 Negro wo- men.
 The responsibility for passing up these does not, the experts say, rest exclusively upon the shoulders of employers, although they must share in it.
 One reason why Negroes are summed is the fear, often justi- fled by warnings of overt actions, that skilled whites are largely unionized, and capable of organ ized protest. employers try to avoid any possible risk by bring Ing whites from outside to do

The War Manpower Commission estimates that Baltimore must add 5000 men and women to its war workers during the current half of this year. The visible labor supply" from which to find these workmen, includes 17,00O persons listed work seeks, plus 10000 who will lose their jobs through the displacement of non-essential industries.
 Experience shows that every incoming worker brings one non-worker that is, that to get 32,000 new inhabitants (This is for Baltimore. The ratio varies in different cities)

WOMAN TRAINS PILOTS WITH
 LINK TRAINER

Kansas City, Mo, oct. 2D- (UP)- When Miss Margaret Singleton re- gently stepped into the cockpit of a stubby device resembling an air plane to "fly on instrument" to a nearby landing field, she embarked on an airline career which hereto fore has been in the linen only category.
 Eventually she will train new pi- lots for Transcontinental and Wes- tern Air in instrument flying, pro fessionally known as Link trainer instructor Although the mechani- cal device does not leave the ground, it stimulates every maneu- yer of a plane in flight.
 Miss Singleton, daughter of an electrical engineer, spent most of her childhood in Chile, where her father operated 8 copper mine in the Andes above Rancague. When she returned to the United States she entered art school in Boston to prepare for career in costume design and scenic painting. But in 1888 she made her initial plane flight and promptly tossed her art career overheard to enroll in fly- ing school.
 She obtained a pilots license, studied meteorology, navigation and civilian regulations, finally becom- ing a ground instructor for private students. Her first job with com mercial airline was with IVA in New York as flight control clerk.
 The trainer course, cover ing three months period, requires 50 hours in the cockpit of the Link device. The machine, mounted on a universal joint, can simulate div ing, climbing, turning and banking
 When operating the device, Miss Singleton attaches earphones, closes the hood overhead, darksning the interior of the cockpit except fol the lighted instrument panel, which contains virtually every device in- stalled in the cockpit of an airliner ! A few feet from the Link trainer an instructor sits at desk with another set of instruments, plus g microphone through which he talks to the pilot" just as the airport radio operator talks to flier aloft Also, in front of the instructor is an automatic recorder which traces on sheet of paper the course the pilot is flying" Thus, the Link pi- lots course can be checked on g theoretical country flight or | instruments.

Baltimore Must Import" War Workers Despite Untapped Labor Pool Of 37l ,OOO

production involves heavy labor, and mentioned their physical ail- ments or muscular weakness. FACTORY WORK
 LUST ISN'T DONE"
 And sizeable proportion sim ply didn't like the idea of a wo- man working in a factory. In an office or a store. there was no social stigma. But to get ones hands dirty and break one nails in a factory? That just isn't done.
 The U. s. Employment Service re- gently opened Women's Recruiting Center in an effort to ir1treest wo- men in entering war industry. To overcome the idea that war work is sll heavy, dirty and strenuous. typ ical machines, used for light work, were installed in the "how win dows."
 The investigators, going through three initials in the U. s. Employ ment Service files, took out at random the cards of men now in non- essential jobs who have had long experience in skilled trades which are. critically needed for war production. These men all had declined to shift to war work. A ship electrician with 20 ySars' experience preferred to continue tending bar. A ship filter with 10 years experience preferred to continue selling meat. A tool de- signer with years experience chose to continue cutting meat. An electrical assembler, with 8 years experience chose to con- tinue driving a taxi. A steel plate caulker with 9 years experience felt happier as a milkman. The USES checked 10000 draft uuestionnaires and called in 1734 men who had previous experience ] in skills badly needed for war production. After interviews, 1123 were offered war jobs. Only 49 were interested enough to consent ! to talking with a war employer. Four did not report, four more turned down the jobs, 15 went into war work and then dropped |
 out.
 OUT OF 112s ELIGIBLES,
 ONLY 26 TOOK JOBS
 Out of the 1123 who could have helped produce for our armed forces, the USES succeeded in fill- ing only 26 critical positions.
 These are some of the reasons why perts who have studied the Baltimore situation have con- cluded that voluntary co-opera- tive recruitments will not work = that if our armed forces and our allies are to be supplied, the fed eral government must at least hold the whip provided by an in dustrial draft law. Given that whip, at least some experts feel that it would seldom need to be used.

HOCKEY OWNERS
AID WEAKER: CLUBS

There is mounting evidence Of the
fact that harmony is the keynote of
the American Hockey League, whose
governors have enjoyed their share
of "black ink" since the Information
al and the American
Leagues merged to become the larg-
est league ON the continent. The
keen rivalry on the ice does not pre-
vent magnate from lending the
helping hand to brother in dis
tress.
Philadelphia serves as an example.
The Quaker City club is on its own
this year with no National League
connection. The task OF assembling
a team has been no simple one, yet
the Rockets are carrying out each
and every date, partly because the
leaders of other teams did their
share to help.
On the eve of the Philadelphia
clubs first league game of the sea-
son, there was doubt as TO Coach
Danny Cox's ability to assemble a
quorum. So the Providence Reds
showed the right spirit and let the
Rockets have the services of Duke"
Asmundsen and Gerry Lynch, a
young defender. Hershey loaned
that veteran winger, Bobby Kirk, to
the Rockets for a spell. Then Her.
shey turned HOWE Mackie over to
the Rockets.
Shoquist To Reds
Pittsburgh directed "Scotty" Bow
man and Orville Rocker" Roulston
to the Philadelphia outfit Eddie
Shore of Springfield sent along his
young left winger, Charles Kraiger,
who has shown a knack for scoring.
The Rhode Island Reds of Provi-
dcnce liked the looks of Art Sho-
quist, young blocker, so gave the
Rockets two-for-one in order to
land Shoquist. Charlie Mason and
Art Herchenratter went from the
Rhode Island capital to Philadelphia
in the deal.
The concensus is that the Amer
lean Hockey League will continue
to prosper SO long as its governors
remain acutely aware of the fact
that no organization is any stronger
than it's weakes, member and con-
tinues to help partner-in -need as
was the case with Philadelphia at
the outset of the 1941-42 campaign.

Grove HOPES To
REJ0IN RED SOX
Released Veteran Feels He
Could Win 10 Games
For Yawkey
BY JACK CUDDY
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

New York, Jan. 20 U.P) -
Robert Lefty Grove has deep
respect for the persuasive powers OF
age over the muscular potency of
baseball players, particularly pitch
ers, but today the tall, deep-voiced
gentleman from Homecoming, Md,
said that his AZ years would not
prevent him from winning 10 games
if he joined the Boston Red Sox.
| Grove, speaking by telephone
from his Maryland home, said that
despite the unconditional release ne
received in December, he hoped to
be on the firing line for another
campaign, principally because three
other Red Sox Southpaws-Mickey
Harris, Earl johnson and Larry
Powell - have marched away to
war.
Hunting and fishing have kept
me right at my playing weight of
204 pounds" Lefty said land fur
thermore, my arm feels just fine.
What If I will be AZ in March?
A mans as young as he feels; and
I feel like I'd be sure to win about
10 games for Boston this season."
Not So Fad
Last year this pitching immortal
combined the canny pitching skill
of years of mound experience with
some of the natural Wizardy left in
his time-Worn left arm. He won
seven and lost seven, appearing in
81 games. He registered an earned
run average of 4.37. His last victory
was achieved on July "a, when the
Sox beat the Indians, giving him
the Booth mound triumph of his II
years in the majors. He was the
18th man to accomplish that feat in
baseball history.
Grove, whose fire-ball made him
the king pitcher of the majors and
the American Leagues most valu-
able player of 1881 when he was
with the Philadelphia Athletics, en-
phasized that he would accept no
minor league offers.
IF I don't get an offer to pitch
or coach with the Red Sox or some
other major league club" he said,
"I'll just retire from baseball. AnG
1 won't have a thing to worry about
either, because my bowling alley
business here in Homecoming is in
full bloom. But I'd sure like to do
some more pitching"
