Axis Said TO Be

ian fleet and all available French
merchant ships preparatory to an
attempt to evacuate Italo- German
armies from Tunisia in an Axis
"Dunkirk," it was reported here
today.
No confirmation was possible.
Axis sources here calculated that
100000 tons of shipping would be
needed to evacuate the troops alone
other heavy equipment would boost
the tonnage needed to more than
100000.
BUILD AIR FIELDS
Reports from Rome said the
Axis also has built numerous addi-
tional air fields and heavily rein
forced fighter and bomber squad
rons in Sicily and Southern Italy
to provide the most powerful air
cover possible for the evacuation.
Axis informants acknowledged
that Rommel cannot hope to hold

ers for war work until it became
the last resort. He stated that he
felt that much of the problem could
be solved by better in-plant plan
ming and efficient production meth.
DDS, as has in a great many cases
been worked out by labOr-manaRe.
ment committees.
Nathan Sherman, editor of THE
UNION TIMES, stated that main pur-
pose of the conference was to get the
various agencies together in order
that they might learn of each others
problems. In this way they might
pool information, and pave the way
for better understanding of the stu
alton, in order to do the best possible
job toward solving it.
Lauren E. Seeley, of the Engineer
ing War Training, stated that there
were available ample training facili-
ties at all levels of skill. He said that
between 1000 and 5000 men had been
trained in the college-level skills and
technics, and that there is need of
training to make more workers more
efficient.
Miss Doris Schlossberg of the
CLIO. division of the committee
argued to pay for trainees while in
training, pointing out that this would
encourage prospective employees to
train for war work.
Emmett O'Brien, director of the
BOardman Trade School, reported
that in two and One-haIf years
more than 1000 persons have been
trained for industrial work at the
school. He said that approximately
all who completed their courses
were employed through the CO.
operation of the local office of u. S.
Employment Service.
Up until recently a large num-
Der of the trainees were women.
but there are not many women
now taking courses at the school.
Thomas A. Casey, of the National
Youth Administration, stated that the
N.Y.A. had been training 900 young
men between 10 and Is, a month until
the draft was lowered. Many girls are
oCCul IllS IN. L IA. Jul u dlIlIIlS dIlu the
majority of them are Negro girls.
The school can place these trainees
as fast as they complete the courses,
said Casey.
Carl G. HOff, chairman of the
ALL. group of the joint labor
committee, as a concluding speaker
said one of the reasons for the con-
ference was to clear up many ques-
tons in regards to the manpOwer
question.
eve have tried to find out if
shortage of labor exists. We are
interested in seeing this question,
as well as the question of adequate
child care for mothers who work
or want to work, and the question
of training facilities, of work OPP
pOrtunities for all groups solved.
These are labOr's interests in the

TOM FITZSIMMONS, who many
people say will be Republican
mayor of New Haven one of these
days, was indicted as a delegate
from Local 234, Musicians Union,
at the last meeting of the N. III.
Central Labor Council. The induc-
ton was an experience that Fitz-
Simmons and the delegates will
long remember.
KNOWING THAT Tom, who is
also lawyer, has long been known
for his practical jokes ON men,
bers of the legal profession, Presi-
dent Harry Feinmark secretly en-
gineered mock battle on the issue
of whether or not lawyer should
be admitted to the Council. The
battle ragged for almost two hours,
with FitzSimmOns becoming more
bewildered with every argument.
Finally, Feinmark stated that if
FitzSimmons could produce 10 good
reasons, he would be admitted as
a delegate. When he produced II
reasons, the Council relented, and
he was sworn i'm amidst much ap-
plause.
NOT ALL of the delegates knew
of the frame-up, and came to his
rescue when objections to Fitz-
Simmons were raised. Completely
taken i'm by the hoax were Sen.
Joseph T. ROurke, Electricians
Union, and Anthony Basilicato, Mo-
ton Picture Operators Union. 1t
was very, very lively meeting. /.
INDEPENDENCE HALL, PhiIa-
delphia, was formerly Carpenters
Hall. On Feb. 3, 1863, the Car
penters Union purchased the land
on which independence Hall now
stands. The building was erected
i'm 1870 and the Carpenters Union
held the first meeting i'm it on
Jan. 81, l77l. When the first Con-
tinental Congress was unable TO
obtain satisfactory meeting place,
the Carpenters Union unanimously
placed the Carpenters Hall at their
disposal.
