 If workers are drafted this will not expedite production for the vacant places on the production line will have to be filled by flnd- ing and probably training new workers" she said.
 She said that legislation as a method of control was tried in England but did not supply the remedy"
 Management and unions of war plants all over the country have in many cases faced the problems of absenteeism squarely," she said. with true American ingenuity they have developed new and suc- cessful techniques for meeting them"
 She discussed various plans which she said had been successful in checking absenteeism in solated plants.
 She outlined the department of labor's recommendations" to man. agement for control of absenteeism as follows:
 1. Keep accurate and uniform records.
 2. Study and analyze the cause of absenteeism.
 3. Follow through with correc- tions of the causes.
 {. Check up with individuals who are deliberate or repetitive shirkers and with labor cooperation fine them, or turn their records over to draft boards.
 "As I see 1t, the most effective approach on the part of the gov- ernment to the problem of absen- teeism Is to carry directly to the thousands of plants now operating on war contracts information about the methods that have been develop ed and proved particable in our leading industrial establishments. This is the method which the de- partment of labor has been using successfully with management and labor mad which 1t will intensity itl the canning montng." she said.

 British planes now have been over Germany on 12 of the last IA nights and on one of the two nights on which bad weather over the conti- nent grounded the main force. some bombers dropped mines in enemy waters.

 ton in Florida

Boca Grande, Fla, March 10.- (UP)-In a small cottage overlook ing the Gulf of Mexico, J. P. Nor gan lay gravely i'll today, attended by three doctors and six nurses.
 A slight but definite improve ment" was noted in his condition in a sttement issued in the New York office of the international h. nancier 10:45 a. m, and sources here said the 75 year old banker had rested well last night. He is suffering from Q cerebral stroke.

 "The North African invasion meant to the Richelieu's crew that DeGaulle was with the Americans. But, no.
 "After we received news of the invasion, our captain, Marcel Dura- mond, made speech, saying that Churchill Twas a monkey, Roosevelt a clown and Petain was our only chief. He asked us to fight the Americans if they came.
 'Then we learned that the Ger mans had invaded the rest of France. We met in the bow of the Richelieu and resolved to ask the captain to let us fight the Germans. Officers came and told us we were damned fools and tried to break up the meeting. They tried to arrest us during 8 second such meeting, but we joined arms and resisted.
 We sent a delegation to the cap- tain, asking to fight the Germans. He refused. The next day, 30 of our number were sent to concertra- tion camp.
 'Those were the officers in com- mand on the Richelieu when we ar- rived in New York People on the streets seemed to understand what DeGaulle and the fighting French meant, but we saw our officers ac- cepted by United States officials and there was nothing for us to do but clear out. We came here because VIC were afraid they would make us go back"

cussed lend-iease problems with So- viet authorities in the past, but had not brought up the subject of Red CroaD and Rssian relief aid.
 An is customry, the Soviet press ana0D no mention of Standley's rec marks, since comments of ainbas- sadors at press conferences never are carried.
 The official Soviet news agency Tnss. however, transmitted to Rus- sian newspaper editors Q transla- tien of Q recent article in an Ameri- can magazine by Edward R. Stet- tinius, U. s. lend-lease administra- tor, dealing with food shipments.
 (An earlier Russian broadcast to Soviet editors yesterday carried Q long report based on Stettinius' re- cent summary of American lend- lease shipments to Russia).
 Less than 48 hours after Stand ley's press conference, the govern ment newspaper IZvestia today pub. lisEed lengthy excerpts from an ar. ticle by U. s. Lend-LeaSe Admins. trator Edward R. Stettinius in the American Magazine giving figures on American lend-lease food ship ments to England and Russia.
 Soviet newspapers in the past by Stettinius regarding lend-lease have published previous statements shipments, as well as announce. ments by President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill of the number of planes and tanks sent to the Soviets.
 However, it was pointed out that Etandley's criticism primarily was directed at lack of publicity for ma. terials sent to Russia by the Red Gross and Russian relief organiza- lions.
 Whatever the reason why Soviet authorities have not publicized American relief or acknowledged 1t officially, there is ample evidence In Russia of it's receipt and diStri- button.
 Lend-lease clothes and food are sold occasionally in stores with the original American labels and mark kngs.
 Russian officers have reported the use of American tanks and planes on the Caucasus, Orel and central fronts, but always with the regret that there are not. quite enough of them for a 2000-mile front.
 Ford and Dodge trucks and jeeps are visible in every large city in Russia, but the Russians natural Iy are proud of their own war inc dustry and prefer to emphasize their own material.
 The Red Cross has distributed food, medicines, surgical instru- ments and clothes principally to hos- pitfalls, orphanges and nurseries and there has been no attempt to con- ceal their origin, though the bene- fIciaries do not necessarily know whether the goods were purchased from or donated by the American people.
 It was this fact-that the people gre not told the difference between lend-lease and Red Cross aid and that deliveries are not reported in the Soviet press-that provoked gtandley's remarks.

 Men classified by employers will be placed in groups accordingly by the draft boards and will be given notice that they are subject to call at the end of specified periods. the first group comprising those whose loss will not seriously impair pro- duction.
 Another phase of the replacement schedule program will eliminate the deferments of out-of-state workers who have been working in the city. under deferment of their draft boards. Criticism of this aspect of the draft situation has been grow ing in recent months as workers from all sections of the east focked by hundreds to the city. A recent report of the room service center at the Y. M. c. A. disclosed that approximately 2.50O newcomers to the city had applied for, and had been placed in rooms here during the past six months.
 Many of them, deferred by boards in the localities from which they come, have remained. With re- placement schedules effective in the factories, these workers will have the same status as native Waterhurians. Their draft boards will accept the valuation" placed on them by employers and will act accordingly.

EXTENSION FOR
 KEROSENE ORDERS
Weather Conditions Re. spOnsibIe for Increased
 Demands

Since the supply situation re- mains critical, an extension of 10 days was given on the kerosene emergency order, 1t was announced last night by Kenneth B. Backman, regional OPA administrator at Boston.
 The situation in Waterbury was affected by the unexpected con- tinuance of the cold spell, and an increased number of calls received yesterday at the emergency fuel office. The city received a few large shipments of oil yesterday, but 1t was not adequate to provide for the large backlog of orders which re. mained thrilled previously.
 The report from the state execu- tive'S office announced that there were more than 1,50O emergency calls received throughout the state yesterday for deliveries of kerosene.
 The new OPA order Is the fourth of its kind to be declared on Jan. go, effective at midnight last night. It continues until midnight, March 19.
 Fred A. Webb, oil administrator of the local ration board, declared last night that the public must abide by the strict conditions that prevail for obtaining extra fuel oil. Con- sumer's reasons for obtaining "hard- ship" rations of fuel oil must be valid ones to qualify for supple mentary rations.
 MT. Webb added that hardship rations will be granted to a limited number of cases, but in small allot- mentS.
 The many cases of people request ing supplementary rations because of lost coupons is increasing sus- piciously, said MT. Webb.
