Hershey Explains
Plan for Army of
Ten Million in 1913

While the uncertainties of the war
preclude any authoritative forecast Of
the ultimate strength to which the
army and navy will grow, Selective
Service Director Lewis b. Hershey
has indicated that more than 10000
600 Americans would be under arms
by the end Of 1913.
Hershey and his aides gave these
guides to future operations Of the
draft in an interview clarifying and
recapitulating the various orders and
announcements issued piece-meal in
recent weeks:
The supply of single men, including
those with dependents, will be eN-
hausted this fall and calls for child
less married men will begin generally
in December or January as the
strength of the army alone tops
100000 by the end Of this year.
Fathers to BE Called
Unless Congress authorizes the
drafting of IS and 19-year-olds, the
supply of chiIdIess married men will
be exhausted about year from now
and the calling Of men with chill
dren will begin around October l.
1913.
Even the drafting Of the tecnagers
might do no more than delay the call
ing Of family men because the total
number of men who ultimately will
be required for the services is not yet
known. Approximately 2.250.O00 teen
ayers registered this year for draft
inc after they reached 20, but so
many of them have enlisted that per
haps no more than 100000 are left.
Dependency Still Factor
Not every single man will be called
before the general calling Of married
men begins. nor will every childless
married man be called before the gen
eral calling of men with children, be-
cause local draft boards may still con-
slider dependency and occupational fac
tors

THE CARRIED SCHOOL LUNCH
A child eats approximately one
third Of the days food at noon. Most
school children during a year eat $50
] to 1870 such meals at school. These i'm
/ portant facts show the necessity for
careful thought and planning of the
school lunch, especially the lunch car
ried from home The habits and daily
food needs should be considered and
also the place Of the lunch in relation
to these needs. Probably more
thought should be given to the car
ried lunch than to any other meal Of
the day, in order to make it both APP
petizing and nutritious.
Types Of Food
A sound basis of pattern for the
carried lunch to supplement the other
meals Of the day would include the
following:
l. Two substantial sandwiches, pre-
ferably Of two varieties, one Of meat
or a meat substitute such as fish,
cheese, eggs or peanut butter.
,. Raw vegetable or fresh fruit for
vitamin c and bulk
3 A bit Of sweet with which to end
the lunch and give feeling Of sat
isfaction.
4. If possible, a beverage, either
cold or hot, to prevent the meal from
being too dry
5. If possible, a hot dish to make
the meal more appetizing and nourish-
ing
Packing the Lunch
Wrap sandwiches and the various
foods separately and neatly. They
should be attractive and in good con
dition when unpacked.
Have fresh fruit and raw vegeta-
bles thoroughly cleaned and trimmed.
Use thermos bottle or small jars
with tight-ftting lids for soft or the
liquid foods.
Place the food in the lunch box in
an orderly way Have the box look
attractive and appetizing when it is

President 10 Explain
Foreign Rehabilitation
Program Over Radio
Press Conference Told
Speech Will Show How
America Benefits

President Roosevelt plans to
explain to the Nation in a future
radio speech how helping other
countries to get on their feet
economically after the war will
be in the interest of Americas S
own pocketbook and security
against future attack.
He told a press conference late
yesterday that many persons did
not understand that 1t was good
business, from a selfish as we'll as
humanitarian standpoint, for Uncle
Sam to co-operst tie in raising the
purchasing power of poorer nations.
The President made clear that his
plans for aiding in the rehabilitation
Of foreign countries would not be
deferred by complaints that such
American Smelling OUT would de-
base our own economy, adding that
he would have more to say about
this later when he could reach a
different audience by radio.
He cited the benefits to the Nation
as whole from increased purchas-
ing power in our own deep South"
during recent years as an example
of the mutual value to all concerned
of rising living standards in one
section
Georgia's Progress Cited.
Mr.. Roosevelt's press conference
discussion was touched off by ques-
tions about the subject of his talks
with President Carlos Arroyo del
Rio of Ecuador, guest of the Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Roosevelt said they had talked
mainly about two things-the high
percentage Of solidarity among the
American republics in the war and
the future problem of trying to i'm
prove the economy of the smaller,
poorer nations of the New World
without hurting the economy of the
richer nations.
Recalling that when he first went
to rural Georgia in the early 1920s
earning standards there were so low
that the people could not buy many
things at the stores, Mr.. Roosevelt
said many persons did not realize

Labor Peace Farley
Threatened as AFL
Units Battle NLRB
Defense Group Formed
To Fight Decision on
Kaiser Shipyords
By the Associated Press.

AS an apparently ominous
prelude to labor peace negotia-
tions, AFL metal trades unions
we're pledged today to an all-out
war on the National Labor Rela-
tions Board and the CIO in the
Kaiser shipyards labor dispute.
AFL-CIO peace conferences are
tentatively scheduled to start next
week.
Highly placed sources acknowl-
edged that pressure was being
brought on the board and on the
White House to have the proceed
ings suspended in the interest of
ship production. The AFL is known
to have enlisted the active aid of at
least some of the Government ship
ping officials, but the CIO is
demanding a collective bargaining
election.
Defense Committee Formed.
The NLRB has ordered hearing
next month on its complaint
alleging that three Northwest Pacific
yards of Henry j. Kaiser entered
illegal closed shop agreements with
the AFL unions when hiring was
just starting, thereby depriving large
numbers of employees of the free
choice of bargaining agent. AFL
President William Green has con-
tended the boards policy would
start bitter non-union election
eering campaign and would result
in production losses.
Aroused by the NLRB's action, the
AFL Metal Trades Department an
rounced yesterday the formation
Of a special defense committee.
Leaders of the unions involved said
they had pledged themselves to
apply all of their resources" to
protect their interests from out
rageous decisions by the National
Labor Relations Board and the un-
justified and unpatriotic raiding now
being carried on by the CIO against
AFL organizations"
The CIO union involved is the

headed by John Green.

QUARTERS, Australia, Nov. IS.
American and Australian
troops were gripped in a bitter,
close-quarter battle with a last
stand" force of japanese on the
beaches of Northeastern New
Guinea today as the bloody
struggle in the Buna-Gona area
approached its climax.
Every plane the Allied forces could
muster was sent skimming over the
japanese positions with machine
guns and cannons blazing. Bombers
added high explosives to the con-
fusion and death below. On the
ground, Allied troops, who have sur
rounded the japanese on three sides,
closed in slowly.
The heaviest fighting was taking
place on coastal strip II miles long
between Buna and Coma. At Buna
both Australian and American units
were reported attacking an airfield
in the face of stiff enemy artillery,
mortar and machine gun fire.
Heavy fighting was reported to
have erupted again on the Coma end
of the battle line. The Australians
entered the village Monday and
found 100 japanese dead. Other
dead and wounded Japanese were
scattered along the beach near the
community.
The Allied airmen made more
than 100 sorties over the battle area
yesterday, dropping hundreds OF
bombs and spraying many thousands
OF rounds of machine-gun bullets on
positions of the trapped japanese.
The aerial action was particularly
intense on a 6-mile stretch be-
tween Coma and Sanananda. No
japanese planes appeared to contest
the air with the Allied flyers, it was
reported.

Admiral Chester w. Nimitz, COM

you can draw your own conclu-

Among the conclusions might
logically be the fact that bad news
cannot be kept from the homeland
and that the Toxic broadcasts, made
nine days after the Japs suffered
their series of naval defeats in the
South Pacific, constitute a left
handed admission that a grinding
offensive against Japan is under
