theater including Cyprus, Egypt,

Northwest Africa.
Progress Is being made against
submarines" he said. I'VE are hold
ing our own and more than holding
our own"
Britain and America, Churchill
told the tense House, were former
ly peaceful nations. Now they are
warrior nations, walking In fear Of
the Lord, heavily Armed and with
an increasingly clear view Of their
salvation"
Crowd Cheers
The capacity crowded House burst
into cheers.
The text Of his speech in which
he outlined his conference with
President Roosevelt ct Casablanca
from Jan. IA to Jan. "a, was:
1.-THE dominating aim which we
set before ourselves In the confer
ence ct Casablanca was to engage
the enemy'S forces on land. sea
and air on the largest possible scale
at the earliest possible moment.
"The importance Of coming to ever
closer grips with the enemy and In.
tensifying the struggle outweighed
q number Of other considerations
which ordinarily would be decisive
in themselves.
I'VE have to make the enemy
burn and bleed in every way that
Is physically and reasonably posi-
BILE In the same way as he has been
made to burn and bleed along the
vast Russian front from the white
Sea to the Black Sea.
u. s. Heavily Armed
But 1t is not so simple as 1t
sounds.
Great Britain and the United
States were formerly, peaceful coun-
tries, Ill armed, unprepared.
"They are now warrior nations
walking In fear Of the Lord, very
heavily armed, with an increasingly
clear view of their salvation"
'"They are actually possessed Of
very powerful and growing forces,
with great masses Of munitions
coming along. "The problem Is to
bring these forces into action.
1.-THE United States has vast
oceans to cross in order to close
with her enemy. We also have seas
and oceans to cross in the first in
stance, and then for both Of us
there is the daring, complicated en-
terprise Of landing on defended
coasts and also building campaign
Ing once landings have been made.
"It Is because Of this that U-boat
warfare takes first place In our
thoughts"
He said that the anti-U-boat pol
icy was reaffirmed most explicitly
by the combined Anglo American
stats at Casablanca.

The May put out alone from the
ferry slip shortly after midnight.
Ordinarily, the little tug was used
to tow a big ferry which regularly
crosses the mile-wide Columbia to
the Vancouver yards. But with only
l6 passengers on hand, 1t was de-
cided to load them on the tug.
IT don't know what caused It,"
the tug captain said. "All was going
well and then, as we passed beyond
the River Jetty, the wind seemed to
hitu S, and the current piled up on
us, too. The May began to heel over

All of the passengers were ship
yard workers, and at least some OF
the missing were women. OF those
saved by Granville, four were wo-
men.
One Of them, 25-year-old Made
leine Nelson, lost her husband -
who couldn't swim. She supported
him for nearly 20 minutes only to
lose her grip as rescue neared.

The war Manpower Commission
prepared today to send "Manpower
Utilization Consultants" into factor
les, offices and onto farms to ascer-
tain whether manpow'er Is being
utilized effectively.
It appeared to be the first step in
setting up administrative machin-
cry for carrying out President
Roosevelt's executive order which
declared q 48-hour work week to
be the national policy. The order al
ready is mandatory In 80 cities.
Creation Of the new bureau Of
manpower utilization within the
VINO was announced last night
by VINO Chairman Paul v. McNutt
In q speech before the American
Management Association in Chi
cago.
McNutt defined the bureaus work
as Finding out. down in the indi-
vidual plant and production unit,
how effectively the people on the
Job are performing, and to suggest
means Of increasing their effective
ness"
The way McNutt described the
new bureau, It was assumed that the
consultants would operate primarily
In areas where sthe new 48-hour
work week has created a surplus OF
workers In some plants and offices.
McNutt said that the utilization
consultants would work this way:
"They will come into your plant.
YOUR office or onto your farm and
work with you and for you in:
81. etermining the extent to
which manpower and womanpower
are being utilized by analyzing such
symptoms as absenteeism, labor
turnover, production restrictions
and stoppages, low morale, per-
Torrance on the Job, idleness. the

-. Analysing personnel methods
as to what methods you are using

to you such as placement and train

"As their tools for rendering thi:
service they have occupationa

Opposition Expected
McNutt conceded that such pro-
gram-with government consultanti
advising factory managers, office
managers and farmers on hiring
production and personnel morale
problems-might run into lots Of
opposition. He implied that he ex-
pected some managers to resent
such an intrusion" He said that

this attitude: I'VE will show you
