workers throughout the area to make
surveys among their personal friends
and neighbors for available men and
women workers, especially t h e
skilled in production work
Publicity Drives Provided
8. A newspaper campaign, designed
to familarize the public with the
plan and it's operation, and considera-
tion of means whereby the Office of
Civilian Defense can cooperate in
neighborhood activities in relation to
this plan, and stimulate interest in
war work
9. A patriotic campaign to educate
workers in American freedom and
their duties and responsibilities as
free citizens.
Careful Thought Encouraged
''The first effect of this simple but
widespread procedure will be to cause
the worker to think more carefully,
in at least some degree, before de-
Gliding to quit" Olander said in COM
menting on his plan.
"Upon consultation with persons
whom he has reason to trust, he may
be advised not to quit, or some easily
remedied irritations may be uncov-
cred and adjusted to his satisfaction.
Many workers avoid complaints, but
just leave when displeased.
Procedure Seen Helpful
"If determined to quit, he should be
advised and aided to obtain another
job in which he will be of equal or
greater value to the war effort. In
either case, whether he remains or
quits, he will be better worker as a
result Of his consultation with friends
The reasons for discharges or layoffs
will become more important.
"The procedure outlined is certain
to reduce labor turnover, if only
through its psychological effect. If it
receives widespread attention, the
effect will be tremendous"

Issue Statement 10 Attempt
Coyer-up for Naval
Failure

The Germans are claiming that
combining action OF warships and
U-boats in a battle last Thursday
IN the Arctic Ocean resulted to
damage to several Allied cruisers,
sunk one destroyer, and torpedoed
tour merchantmen.
The only ship listed as sunk was
the destroyer. The Germans said
they also lost a destroyer in the
action which is said to have taken
place near Bear Island off the
northern tip of Norway in an at
tack on an Allied convoy either
going to or from Russia.
There was no confirmation of
The German claims, but the report
bore at least surface evidence that
it was an attempt to cover up a
Nazi failure. 1t was noteworthy
that the German statement claimed
the destruction OF none of the car
go ships, claiming only hits on
four.
The report did coincide with a
British report last Thursday which
said British fleet units had con-
tacted Nazi units and action was

RommeI Still Chooses 10
Retreat Instead OF
Fighting

LONDON, Jan. 2. = The British
Eighth Army is after another hurdle
in the pursuit of the Axis across
Libya. Rommel's forces still are
preferring to run rather than fight.
I The Nazis have pulled their re-
treating army further west of Wadi

clash west of the Wadi series of
gulches, about 1875 miles east of
Tripoli.
Last Chance
This is one of the last places in
the Libyan wilderness where ROM
mel might make a stand with the
remnants of his retreating army.
Dispatches from the desert said the
British expect him to do SO. This
decision on Rommel's part may have
been forced by recent activity OF
! Allied bombers and fighters over
/ Tripolitania and western Libya, har-
RAISING his exposed forces and de-
priving them OF security he might
get by digging in
1t is surmised he may be racing
westward and is prepared to aban-
don all of Libya in order to join
the forces of the Axis in Tunisia
for the final showdown of all of
North Africa.
1t is still possible, however, that
he intends to make Tripoli, itself,
a fortress from which he will try to
stall the advance of the British.
Axis Reinf0rcements
The Morocco radio reported that
Rommel recently received reinforce
ments to bolster his resistance in
/ the Tripoli area.
A Fighting French force under
Brig. Gen. LeClerc. meanwhile, is
reported still advancing slowly
northward from southern Libya, pos
sibly aiming at joining the British
Eighth Army.
Aerial blows against the Axis sup
ply lines and bases still provided
the main action in Tunisia where
both sides are still massing ground
forces for an impending decisive
struggle.

PRESIDENT
ANNOUNCES
PEACE AIM
Says Unity Of United Ma
lions in War Should
BRING Peace

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. - T h e
President declared yesterday that
it is the supreme necessity to
plan for postwar peace to carry
forward after the war the unity
now being displayed by the United
Nations if another world cataclysm
is to be prevented.
The President issued this state
ment at a press conference OPEN
ing the New Year. He asserted that
the United Nations are passing
from the defensive to the often
sive," adding, The unity achieved
on the battle line is being earnest
ly sought for not less complex prob
lens on different front.
IN this as in no previous war,
men are conscious of the supreme
necessity for planning what will
come after. Carrying forward into
peace the common effort that viii
have brought them victory in the
war, they will come to see that
the maintenance and safeguarding
of peace is as vital single neces-
sity in the lives of each and all OF
us.
This statement was issued on the
first anniversary of the signing
here last January Of the 'Declara-

WASHINGTON. Washington
hotels are now getting advance
reservations from the ship lobby
lists, who are already preparing for
one of the first big fights of the
new Congress. 1t will be a raid
on the tax-till by the shipowners
with cheers from the Maritime
COMMISSIONER order to get a
higher price for the ships seized
by the Government to transport
troops and cargoes overseas.
Hundreds of these ships have
been appropriated under the Presi-
dents emergency powers, and a
lot of them already have been
sunk Now the question is: What is
fair price to pay the owners?
Center of this fight is hard
boiled Comptroller General Lind
say Warren, one of the few public
servants still jealous in, protecting
the taxpayer Lindsay sat in Con-
gress after the last war, watched
lush, sky-high awards being passed
out to shipowners. He determined
to stop a repetition of that gravy
grab. So while still in Congress he
sat on the committee which framed
the present law to prevent the pro-
fiteering of World War. I.
Today Lindsay Warren is Comp
troller General, the watchdog Of
the Treasury, answerable only to
Congress. AS such he has already
tangled vigorously with the Mari
time Commission in his determine
ton to carry out the law he helped
write.
That law provides that ship
owner shall be paid fair price,
but in no case shall the value of
the ship be enhanced by the war.
In other words by the increased
prices as result of the scarcity
of ships.
Despite this. the Maritime Com
mission already has paid prices
which the Comptroller Generals
office considers exorbitant. Ships
whose pre-war price per ton ranged
from $1659 to $69.14 have been
purchased by the Maritime Com
mission for over 500 per ton with
in the last nine months.
The Commission claims t h a
ship prices were depressed in 1899
when the law was written Lindsay
Warren, however, claims that this
is for the courts and Congress to
decide, that the Maritime Commits
snOn has no business going over
