Calls British Wonderful
Il was in England four months
and was sure glad of that expe-

people. After the big bombing raids
you could see the smoke from the
fires right from where we were
based. The smoke sometimes lasted
as long as a week." he said.
While most of his flight missions
averaging IA hours, we're anti-sub-
marine duty, the sergeant said that
1t was hard to get "a confirmed kill
on a submarine"
You rarely can tell If you hit
the submarine unless the bomb
breaks it in two and debris floats
on the water. However, you feel
that you've scored hit, but the
British are hard to convince. They
have to have proof" he said smiling.

Survey Shows Fathers Cling
To NondeferobIe Jobs Here

The bulk of those now in non-
deferrable occupations may change
their minds and their jobs before the
end of the 30-day period allowed
them to do so but at the present
time most of them will stay on the
job till the Army wants u.s."
Commenting on the attitude of
non -deferrables as indicated by the
survey, Mr. Banta said that man
with family responsibilities shouldn't
be considered draft dodger If he
gets into an essential activity.
IF he goes to the USES seeking
a deferrable job" he added, "he
should make it known that he is
looking for job where he can con-
tribute to the war effort"
He pointed out that training
classes are operating around the
clock to give men the skills that
would qualify them for war jobs.
There are also plenty of agricul-
tural opportunities through the
Agricultural Extension Services of
Maryland and Virginia for men with
some previous farm experience, he
said. Housing is provided for the
families Of the new farmers.
On other points, draft officials
said that wages paid beginners in
defense jobs are comparable with
what the men are now earning, that
the situation is different now than
it was in February with few single
and childless married men to act as
buffers and that it has been the goal
of selective service to replace single
men with fathers in war jobs, re-
leasing the single men to the services.

WPB Aide Named
Paper Gar 10 Spur
Pulpwood Output

Faced with predictions that print
ing paper production will be reduced
further unless immediate steps are
taken to relieve an acute manpower
shortage in the pulpwood industry,
the War Production Board has
named Harold Boeschenstein as CO.
ordinator of its activities to increase
pulpwood output.
Mr.. BoeschenStein, director of
WPB's Production Controls Bureau,
was appointed co-ordinator of the
Lumber, Containers, Printing and
Publishing, and Pulp and Paper Di-
visions. He has been given the job
of gathering all of WPB's resources
in the pulp and paper field and di-
recting their efforts toward a solu-
ton of current production problems.
In addition, he will serve as liaison
man between the Office of Price Ad-
ministration, the War Manpower
Commission and Canadian authori-
ties on paper problems.
Mr.. BoeSchenstein becomes a vir-
tual paper czar" with authority
similar to that granted William M
Jeffers for rubber. Mr.. Boeschenstein
was appointed by H. G. Batcheller,
WPB operations vice chairman.
Walter H. Dear, chairman of the
Newspaper Pulp Committee, cur
rently sponsoring a campaign for
increased pulpwood production. has
said that output must be increased
l9 per cent in the last part of this
year to reach the minimum goal of
100000 cords needed for war and
essential civilian requirements.
AS further evidence Of the seri-
business of the situation, Earl w.
Tinker, executive secretary of the
American Paper and Pulp Associa-
ton, declared that unless manpower
shortages can be relieved the Nation
faces a reduction of 40 per cent in
1914 of printing papers OF all kinds
as compared with 1912 consumption.
Meanwhile, the War Department
was reported considering the use OF
prisoners of war as pulpwood cutters,
a move which would go far to relieve
the present problem.
