$4,000 Men To Go
To Service Daily
Only Those In Essential Work
Are To Be Deferred, 1t
Is Announced

Washington - With cold, hard
figures, the top manpoWer Off
Gals told the American people
this week that $4,000 men day
must go into the armed forces
this year and that no man. 10 to
38 can be deferred, regardless of
dependents, unless his work is
Essential and he is irreplaceable.
Paul V. McNutt, chairman of
the War Manpower commission,
and Major General Lewis B. Her
shey, director of selective service,
disclosed the actual rate of in
, ductiors in outlining the draft
outlook in a joint broadcast over
the Blue network. Heretofore this
rate has been a closely-guarded
secret but in the letting there was
no comfort for the axis.
Emphasizing the tremendous
size of this mobilization, McNutt
said: "In a weeks time, we are
putting into uniform seven, full
divisions-in a month, % divi-
; sions. This year alone, the num-
Der of men indicted will approach
in size the entire American army
in the first World war" In de-
picting the inductions in terms of
divisions he referred to draftees
for the navy, marine corps and
coast guard as we'll as the army.
Hershey summed this up as
meaning "the great majority of
t he physically fit, except the
farmers, between Is and 38 years
of age must go into the armed
forces this year. 1t is most i'm
portant that those who have jobs
in our war industries be left until
they can be replaced in order to
maintain production. . The ma
iority of men this year must come
from those with dependents"

Will Make Study
OF n. C.. Minerals

Raleigh - A contract which
emissions the placing of North
Carolina among the important
metal producing areas of the ma
ton has been entered into be-
tween Herman A. Brassert Co.,
internationally noted engineers,
and the State of North Carolina,
the terms of which call for an
exhaustive study of the mineral
deposits in North Carolina, the
most feasible methods of produc-
ing vitality needed metals there
from, with specific recommended
tons regarding construction of
plants. This survey will be start
ed Immediately, it was announced
today by Governor j. Melville
Broughton.
Prominent among the metals
which are now needed in the war
effort are sponge iron and mag
neSium.
Sponge iron will help answer
the need for scrap iron, necessary
for the production of steel, and
magnesium is the tremendously
important metal which combines
the qualities of aluminium and
Steel
Mr.. Brassert's preliminary re-
port substantiates opinions ex-
pressed previously by engineers
who had investigated possibili-
ties of a huge metal industry in
North Carolina. Mr.. Brassert,
who has built blast furnaces in
almost every metals area in the
world, is emminently qualified
for this investigation, and his re-
port will have important accep-
lance by engineers and the met
ais industry generally.
That the people not only in
North Carolina but throughout
the nation are keenly interested
in the possibilities of this new in
dustry is evidenced by the re-
Spouse received by the Depart
ment of Conservation and Devel-
opment since first announcements
were made concerning North Car
olina's long-neglected minerals.

no harm to the common people
of the Axis nations. But we do
mean to impose punishment and
retribution in full upon their
guilty, barbaric leaders,"
Emphasizing the cooperation
and coordination of the Allies,
Mr.. Roosevelt said;
"You can be quite sure that if
Japan should be the first of the
Axis partners to fall, the total eff
forts and resources of all the
United Nations would be concen-
trated on the job of crushing Ger
many"
On the other hand, he said, if
Germany should be conquered
first Churchill has pledged that
'all British Empire resources and
manpowcr would, of course, join
with China and us in an out-and-
out final attack on Japan"

F. ,. r. Announces Attack
Against japan This Year

Washington - President Roose-
welt disclosed Friday night that
his historic Casablanca conference
with Winston Churchill produced
plans for a great offensive against
the Japanese this year-both IN
beleaguered China and in the ar
over Japan itself-as we'll as tor
an invasion of Europe.
| He said that before this year
is over, the world will learn by
actions rather than words that
Casablanca produced plenty OF
news land it will be bad news
for the Germans and Italians
and the japanese"
Great and decisive ct i o n S
against the Japanese will be taken
to drive the invader from the soil
of China" he promised. "1mpor-
tant actions will be taken in the
skies over China-and over Japan
itself"
In a nationwide radio broad
cast on the occasion of the White
House Correspondents Association
annual dinner, he said: eve do
not expect to spend the time it
would take to bring Japan to
final defeat merely by inching
our way forward from island to
island across the vast expanse of
the Pacific"
There are many roads which
lead right to Tokyo. We shall
neglect none of them"
When the European invasion
comes - and Churchill said that
it would be in the next nine
months-it will come from many
directions, Mr. Roosevelt declared.
''The enemy must be hit and
hit hard from SO many directions
that he never knows which it his
bow and which is his Stern," he
added.
He warned mothers and fathers
and wives that the battle of Tu-
nisia will cost us heavily in cas-
ualties" but said the consequences
of the coming battle "are actual
invasiors of the Continent of
Europe"
eve must face that fact now,
with the same calm courage as
our men are facing it on the
battlefield ITSELF"
His was the third such warning
within the past week by a Gov
eminent official. Economic Stabi-
lization Director James F. Byrnes'
said Tuesday that war plans for
1943 contemplate an invasion of
Europe and no matter how sue
cessful the campaign there will
be casualties such as 'the nation
has never before endured"
Thursday, Secretary of War Hen
ry L. Stimson said the nation
must expect heavy fighting and
heavy casualties perhaps in the
near future"
Mr.. Roosevelt also:
Revealed it. was at Britain's
own suggestion that General
dwight D. Eisenhower was made
supreme commander of all Allied
forces in the Acknowledgement
can theatre.
Reiterated the Casab1anca vow
of Unconditional surrender" OF
the Axis, and elaborated: SIN our

Wash Work Clothes

A big washing on the line is often
the best contribution q housewife
can make to the effort of men who
are engaged in war production. The
willingness of the housewife to laun-
der the extra garments which in
sure the men of daily changes has
a direct bearing upon production.
Cleanliness not only builds morale,
which is reflected in a mans output,
but it guards against skin diseases
which may cause him 10 lose pre-
cious days of work. AT the end of
a hard working day the underwear
and work clothes are usually soiled,
and may also be saturated with
perspiration. II these garments are
worn second or third day they are
not only evil-smelling but they may
carry bacteria in the meshes of the
fabric which may cause a rash or
Irritation. From the housewives
point of view there is another adj
vantage in having work clothes worn
only one day. They are easier to
wash, need less scrubbing, and
therefore give better service.

Uncle Sam in Great Need
Of Standard Typewriters

In plants, factories and business
houses all over the country, the Of
fee girls are being asked to 60 on
shifts.
The government is asking indus
try to sell back one out of every
four typewriters for use by the
army, navy and other war agencies.
Typewriters are necessary in
mechanical warfare. Contracts
must be written, messages and or
ders must be typed. Typewriters
are needed on ships at sea and in
field headquarters on land Manu-
facture has been stopped and 600,
900 more are needed.
Many government departments
have already staggered the hours
of their typists and private bust
ness is being asked to do the same
so that it can get along with fewer
typewriters. BY starting half its
typists at a. m. and half at II
a. m. business can operate on al
most one-half the usual number of
typewriters. During the hours when
the shifts overlap typists may have
lunch and do their filing, etc.
The government wants standard
size machines made since January
l, 1885. Regular dealers are buying
them for the government, paying
fixed prices.
People with machines at home are
especially urged to sell them.

$500 Planes Fly Over
Train-Bound Chicagoans

No matter how great their hurry,
thousands of travellers pause each
day on entering Chicago's Union sta
ton to gaze upon one of the most
impressive war displays in the coun-
try. A dozen huge colored murals
and $500 model airplanes have
transformed the walls and ceiling
of the stations vast concourse into
a compelling war bond message.
On the west wall of the concourse
a 40-foot mural depicts shower of
war savings bonds descending on
the Capitol. On the opposite wall,
220 feet distant, a similar-sized muir
al shows another shower, only
bombs instead of bonds, plunging
through the clouds onto target
marked by the Nazi swastika. The
first mural bears the words, For
Us Bonds,' while the second
reads, For Them Bombs"
Between the murals an armada of
