The q. s. Employment Service

still conducting their service. It Is
believed, however, that II the local
committee does not ratify the vol
untary sterilization plan an order

statewide basis.
Hartford, Conn, oct. is - (U.PO
A new labor sterilization program
became effective today in I'VE cri-
teal Connecticut industrial areas,
bringing controlled hiring to the
east coast for the first time, and
placing all war plants under an en-
ployment priority schedule.
From now on, new workers will be
assigned to plants where they are
most urgently needed, workers will
be transferred to jobs utilizing their
highest skills, and the waiting per-
iod for those without statements Of
availability will be increased from
80 to so days.
State Manpower Director william
]. Fitzgerald said that I'VE must all
work together to break up the back
logs in production as soon as
production is leveled of through
out the state and as soon as the
products begin to flow evenly in and
OUT Of the plants, all of which will
have sufficient personnel to main
tain peak production, the program
can be stopped"
Plants in the five areas, said Fitz-
gerald, will be given labor priority
ratings based on their essential con-
tribution to war production. Manu-
facturers Of ball bearings, brass pro-
ducts, ornaments and munitions,
he said, would receive the highest
ratings.
Fitzgerald said that while con.
trolled hiring was in operation on

first area to put 1t into effect on a
voluntary basis.

2. Any person with any of l49
so-called critical skillS must be in
an essential activity or enter the
armed forces. Persons with these
skills cannot take new Jobs without
U. S. Employment Service approval,
thereby permitting their being dir
ected to the place where they are
most needed.
3. A person who has not lived or
worked in the area where he seeks
work during the preceding 80 days
cannot be hired without U. s. EN-
ployment Service approval.
Under the 60-day provisions on
transfers in essential industries, q
person seeking to change Jobs with
out a certificate Of availability or
U. S. Employment Service approval
would have to be idle for so days

the waiting" period was only 30

The stiffening attitude Of selective
service on delinquent regiStrants,
who numbered nearly 100000 as Of
Aug. 81, was described officially as
a move to curtail willful, neglectful
and careless evasion Of military SER
vice in fairness to the men already
in the armed forces, and those, in

The traffic, however, will not be
"one-way," because the United
States will be in need of raw and
finished materials, particularly rub
Der, tin, sugar and similar goods.
Tanks, bombers, jeeps, trucks,
cannons and the other implements
of war can be scrapped, stored, or
otherwise disposed Of" he said.

Critical Hour
This was a critical hour In the

came up to see that everything
went according to plan. General
Sir Harold Alexander, commander
Of all Allied ground troops, visited
Clark'S headquarters and later the
two of them inspected all sectors of
the Volturno front.
The Volturno Is about 100 yards
wide in most places, but in some
sectors it is narrower and 1t was
there that the tough Fifth Army
men waded up to their waists to
get at the enemy. The Volturno runs
swift and cold and the German NOR
tars and machine guns chopped the
stream into a watery hell. But the
Allied troops plunged on through
the moonlight. and by the first light
OF day on Wednesday toe holds had
been won on the far banks in every
sector except Capua.
1t was at Capua that the Germans
made q job Of their own in an at
tempt to throw the Allied advance
off balance. They made 1t just few
hours before the Fifth army was
to advance. There was a
terrific impact as the two forces
collided. The Germans forced the

threw them back.

Italy, faced with an almost COM
plate lack Of response to 1t calls
for recruits for the German army,
has offered high salaries to all
Italians who will enroll voluntarily
within the next 10 days, Italo- Swiss

Privileges were offered up to 1,275

Italians who would join the TODT
organization to work on Nazi de-

Rome that Pope Plus XII was being
subjected to increasing German

the Pope was being hindered in his

with the outside world were being
restricted.
The broadcast explained the pres
ence of German soldiers on Vatican
property by saying that arrange
ments had been made to enable
them to visit the outstanding places
Of interest"
The various Vatican guards, num-
bering more than 1000 officers and
men, were fulfilling their usual tasks
without interference, the broadcast
said.

Grafton resulted in an expenditure
of five per cent. He noted that an
additional five per cent cut was Or
dered for the third quarter and o
similar cut for the fourth quarter.
He did not estimate the savings
to date, but other witnesses said 1t
totaled 4.6 per cent for the first nine
months Of this year. Sullivan said,
however, that lessons learned dur
ing the first three quarters would
be used in controlling extra-quota
allotments of paper henceforth.
More Trouble
Sullivan conceded that II fur
ther reduction in use of print paper
(which seems imminent" should be-
come necessary, the many and
various problems" caused by the
order would be multiplied.
He said publishers in competitive
cities have been urged constantly by
WPB to effect cooperative measures
in an effort 10 bring about re-
duction Of newsprint consumption
and to eliminate unfair competitive
advantages resulting from the Or
der. Some publishers, have done so
to their mutual benefit, he said.
Sullivan said publishers expected
that the downward trend Of 1912
would continue during 1943. There
fore, he said, 1t was anticipated
that there would be an involuntary
saving beyond that required by the
order. It also was thought that the
expected drop In advertising would
provide pool for the granting Of
necessary appeals which everyone
recognized would be inevitable"
Thus, he said, the reversal Of ad-
vertising trends was partially res
ponsible for the failure to accom-
plish the estimates 10 per cent saw
ing, mot loose administration by
teh War Production Board or whole
sale violation OF the order by the
newspaper industry"
Sullivan said the changes which
have taken place In the newspaper
industry between 1941, the base
quota period, and 1o43-caused by
the great migration to war activity
areas-conStituted the reason for
extra-quota appeals in such cities as
st. Louis, Detroit, Seattle, Los An
geles, Mobile, Baltimore, Washing
ton and Boston. The largest single
grant, he said, was to the Chicago
Sun which started publication on
December 4, 194l. Since no quota
existed for the newspaper under the
order, a quota could be created only
by the appeal machinery.
Sullivan took full responsibility for
recommendations made to the ap-
peaS board for the last several
months and added that any sugges-
ton that Henry M. Bitner, director
OF the division and director of
Hearst Publications, influenced
those recommendation was made
without knowledge of the facts.
