Ensign Carl Ziehr, a former
University of Detroit student,

His lifetime ambition was 10 fly

- Ziehr transferred TO Annapolis.
There, he was graduated as a
deck officer and, when he went
into action, il was as a deck Off
Ger because a navy regulation
prohibited him from transferring

of a 'Saltonstall-for- President or
ganization" was announced yester-
day by Ernest Schein, a Chicago and
Washington attorney.
MIR. Schein said the object was to
distribute information concerning
Gov. Leverett Saltonstall of Massa-
chusetts and to encourage and sup
port his candidacy for President of
the United States but he added
that the move was being made
without the assistance or even the
encouragement Of" the Governor
who is Republican.
He stated "a concerted effort will
be made here to crystalline the grow
ing sentiment" for Gov. Saltonstall,
that incorporation papers for the
organization had been filed with
the secretary of State at Spring
field and that headquarters would
be opened in Loop building.
by the overwhelming preconven-
ton campaigns of Wendell Willkie
and Gov. Dewey, other worthy Re-
publicans are being crowded out of
the minds of the voters" Mr.. Schein
said. This is not a healthy condi-
ton. 1t should be the aim of con-
scientious party leaders to bring be-
fore the convention all available and
qualified candidates."

BALTIMORE, Nov. 20-Experi-
ences such as that of local ship
yard which hired 1000 new work
ers over a l0-month period for a
net gain of only 500 employees point
to labor turnover as the greatest
single handicap to increased war
production, survey of plant Off

In another instance, a war indus
try added 538 of its 470O0-p person
payroll after hiring 5,8O6 within

ing, several personnel managers said
the results were disappointing.

can't be stopped" Charles B, Lieb-
mann, personnel director of the Cur =

Plant officials listed poor housing
conditions and a desire to get back

cation by the Presidents Fair EN-

the Western Cartridge Co. of East
Alton, ILL.,, was asked today by Dean

tor OF the War Manpower Commits

employed colored worker at its
East Alton plant, but it has en-
ployed colored workers at the plant
OF the United Cartridge Co. in St.

Man Held as Nozi Agent

District Court took under advisement
yesterday the question of whether
an indictment charging Carl Guen-
ther Bosnian Orgell 43, German
born engineer of Staten Island, N
Y, with violation of the Foreign
Agents Registration Act, should be
quashed.
The question was argued in con-
nection with a demurrer to an in
dictment returned against Orgell
last June charging him with failure
to disclose that he was acting in
this country as an agent for Ger
many. The defense attacked the in
dictment as faulty and claimed the
act only required Orgell to name a
foreign principal, without giving
further detail, which the defense
maintained he had done.

US. Naval Experts See
Possibility Of U-Boats
Entering Pacific War
By the Associated Press.

By the Asscciated Press.
The Germans still have some
tricks up their sleeves In U-boat
warfare. and naval experts here be-
lieve there is q likelihood that the
Nazis may attempt to extend their
undersea warfare to the Indian
Ocean and perhaps the Pacific.
That would amount to a major
change in enemy submarine opera
tions and would call for consequent
changes in strategy by Allied forces.
Until the defensive strategy was
perfected, the Germans might hold
a temporary advantage and send
upward the curve Of Allied ship
sinkings. which for months has been
extremely low.
e The aim would be. of course, to
force q dispersal of the Allied forces
which have crushed the U-boats in
the Atlantic.
Rear Admiral Francis Low, chief
of staff for the 10th Fleet, the
American anti-submarine force,
said yesterday, that despite the cur
rent 30-a-month sinking rate OF u
boats, Germany still has "a great
many submarines left and they have
a good deal of potential power"
Talking at Secretary of the Navy
Knox's press conference. he COM
mented that 1t would be possible
"for them to expand their operations
into other areas" Recent Berlin
broadcasts have limited at the same
possibility.
At the conference, it was an
nounced that Admiral Ernest J
King, commander in chief of the
feet, also is directly and personally
commander in chief of the 10th
Fleet with Admiral Low as his chief
OF staff.
