FATHERS DAY

Sunday next, June 20, is Fathers
Day. The setting aside of day to
honor father by special services in
the churches began independently in
several parts of the country in differ
ent years. A general agreement was
finally reached in which the third
Sunday in June was selected. Credit
for making the suggestion is gener-
ally given to Mrs. John Bruce Dodd,
of Spokane, Washington. Mrs. Dodd
conceived the idea as tribute to
her father who reared family of
children after the death of their
mother. She suggested that the third
Sunday in June be set apart for the
honoring of fathers and wrote to the
Spokane Ministerial Association to
the effect. The association approved
the proposal and the first observance
of the day occurred in Spokane in
June, 1910. Sons and daughters were
requested to wear red ros II the
father was living and white rose
if the father was dead Due to the
fact that Fathers Day was observed
in a number of places Independently
through the country before the date
of the third Sunday in June was Sc
lected, there is some difference OF
opinion as to the exact origin of the
starting of the movement, and a
number of towns claim the honor.
For a number of years effort was
made to establish the day and make
its observance regular custom.
Gradually the day selected by Mrs.
John Bruce Dodd, of Spokane, Wash
ington, came to be accepted as the
day. AS the confectioners and hor-
lists have found mothers day prof.
table by offering special packages and
and special bouquets, haberdashers
and tobacconists have featured neck
ties and special tobacco packages to
be presented to fathers1by sons and
daughters. In spite of all effort put
forth Fathers Day has never receiv-
ed the support and measure of OBJ
servance accorded Mothers Day.

Labor Turnover High Here.
The Washington VINO has been
under orders since February to put
into effect stabilization plan here
Generally, these plans are supposed
to eliminate labor turnover and la
Dor piracy, halt the unnecessary
migration of workers into or out of
an area by making full use of local
labor supply and direct the flow of
workers with critical skills to en-
ployers in essential activities.
Mr.. Deschner said it was impor-
tant that a stabilization plan be
adopted here as soon as possible
because workers. particularly in To-
cally needed activities, are leaving
their jobs; Government is recruit
ing workers out of private industry
and labor turnover generally is high.
There's been too much wander
ing around from job to job here. "

Seventeen Axis vessels were de-

Naturally am highly delighted
with the developments which
brought us into Bizerte and Tunis, -
said the Allied commander in chief
But so far as I am concerned as
long as single armed German is

After today's new gains, the front
now consists of an arc in the north
held by the Americans, running from
Blzerte to point two miles north
west OF Protville, then eastward to-
ward the coast. South of Tunis the
wedge front is approximately on a
line from Tunis to Pont du Fahs,
then southeast to Ben Saidan. east
to Saouaf and thence to a point on
the coast 10 miles north of Enfida-
vile. An additional wedge was
driven IA miles from Tunis along the
road running southeastward along
the Gulf of Tunis.
Many Pockets By-Passed.
Front dispatches indicated there
were many by-passed enemy pockets
in the territory just gained, but that
the forward Allied columns are con-
tinually on the move.
Gen. Eisenhower disclosed for the
first time today that Maj Gen.
Omar N. Bradley, 50-year-old in
fantry officer, had succeed 1t. Gen.
George S. Patton, jr, as commander
Of the United States I'd Army Corps
when the Americans were shifted to
the North April II for the show
down scrap.
Although the commander in chief
praised both American generals,
there was nothing in his statement
to indicate the present whereabouts
Of Gen. Patton, a specialist in ar
mored warfare.
Gen. Bradley was placed in COM
mand because the new zone of oper-
ations in the north made it essen

Gen. Eisenhower also declared
that the result of the unification of

Heavy Mine Fields.

they found extremely heavy mine

Mr.. Lund, although he would be

1elt that one OF his major objec-
tlves was obtaining greater labor

May Sever Union Ties,
1t was known that WPB Chairman
Donald M. Nelson would insist that
any labor appointee must drop this
union connections completely for the
period of Government employment,
just as management officials have
been required to sever their business
connections before being brought
INTO WPB policy-making posts.
The demand for two labor vice
chairmen originated at an sacri-
monious gathering Of labor leaders
with Mr.. Nelson last September.
Twenty AFL and CIO officials pre-
sented 1t as one of their cardinal
demands for increased representa-

Mr.. Deschner said. 1--WE want tc
hold the workers on their jobs OF
find jobs for them where they car
make their maximum contribution
to the war effort. We want to pro-
tect Washington workers against an
influx of other workers and protect
employers against an out-migration
of their workers"
Mr.. Deschner gave examples OF
how workers should be brought into
or sent out of an area. Because OF
the shortage of kitchen help here
the Welfare and Recreation Associa
tion has asked the USES to search
all over the country for stewards and
food chefs who will be brought here
at association expense.
Construction Decreases.
On the other hand, construction
work has fallen off here. Skilled
workers who had been earning SIS
or more a week have a choice of
accepting $25 jobs here or looking
elsewhere. Henry Kaiser, mean
while, wanted skilled workers for
his West Coast shipyards and
planned to shop" in this area.
Mr.. Deschner took it up with
his Labor Management Committee
which, he said, wanted to know
what housing arrangements would
be made, whether whole families
would be sent to the West Coast
and whether the workers would be
frozen" to their jobs. They also
wanted to make sure that essential
employers here would be protected
Under the final arrangements
the Kaiser Representatives were pro-
hibited from interviewing any pros
poets until they had been Screened
at the USES to insure against any
workers on essential jobs quitting
to go to the West Coast AS result,
Mr.. Deschner said, skilled workers
were recruited for the shipyards
without endangering local activi-
ties and with a minimum of Job
shopping by the applicants.
When the stabilization plan goes
into effect, Mr.. Deschner said,
statements of availability" or re-
leases will not be issued by USES
for workers to leave this area un-
til USES knows all about the en-
ployer and the area to which the
workers are going.
National Pattern Followed.
AS pictured by Mr.. Deschner. the
Washington administration of man.
power problems is patterned exactly
after the national setup ordered by
the President to be carried out, with
an added emphasis on the voluntary
aspects Of the program. Nationally,
Mr.. McNutt is supposed to get the
advice OF the members of the COM
mission as well as of the labor
agement committee before issuing
ol ders.
Locally, Mr.. Deschner plans to
consult with representatives of the
agencies cooperating with VINO to
determine the local problems which
ne will take to the labor-manape-
ment committee for solution. The
agencies which he is supposed to
Coordinate on manpower problems
are Selective Service, the War Pro-
duct1on Boards labor production
division. the manpower branches of
the Army and Navy the National
Housing Agency. the Once of Civil
ian War Services, formerly the Of
nee OF Defense Health and Welfare
services; the Agriculture Depart
ment's county war boards, the ONCE
