LABOR SOLICITING
RULING EXPLAINED
Manager Of Local Employ
ment Office Clarifies
New Regulation

Workers engaged in critical oc-
cupations may not be hired or So
licited by employers, though the
employers are also engaged in cri-
teal industries, without first clear
ing with the United States En-
ployment Service, Felix A..
Scroggs, manager of the local Of
flee, emphasized Monday.
This was ordered in one pro-
vision of the regulations issued by
the War Manpower Commission
from Washington August IA which
became effective at once. Other
provisions are not effective gen.
orally in North Carolina until they
are adopted by tht Regional Man
agement-Labor committee.
This provision is:
'No employer shall hire or so
licit any worker last employed il
critical occupation or for work
in a critical occupation except
upon referral by the U. S. EN-
ployment Service, or in accord
ance with arrangements with the
U. S. Employment Service"
The alternative of direct refer
raj by the USES, Scroggs points
out, is that the referral must be
in accordance with arrangements
with the U. S. Employment Serv'
ice. This is interpreted to mean
that critical employers may ne
gotiate the transfer of workers in
critical occupations from one to the
other under a plan previously ap-
proved by the USES and subject
to approval later of individual
transfers by the employment serv-
ice.
These negotiated transfers may

When the schools begin gathering
paper at the former rate they not
only will be helping in vital defense
activities, but will receive the top
price for the paper they collect.
The funds will be spent on needed
equipment and services in the

Up until the time the paper COL
lection was recessed last year, the
schools had earned more than s2O.-
600, figure that can be exceeded
easily this time.
Tying the paper in 4O-pound bum
dies at the schools, which was done
for the first time yesterday, speeded
up collections materially and gave
indication that no difficulty will be
experienced in maintaining sched-
ules, as was the case last time.

Federal School
Aid Indorsed
In nMontgonlery
Civic Groups Stand
Follows Long Debate
On Call for Action
BY MRS. J. REED BRADLEY.

Federal school aid grants to
States, as proposed in bills before
Congress, was Endorsed by the Mont
gomery County Civic Federation at
its first fall meeting last night in
the Bethesda Elementary School,
The Endorsement followed more
than an hours heated debate after
the Chevy Chase Terrace Com
munity Association had introduced
a resolution calling for emergency
action.
Thomas w. Pyle, principal OF
Bethesda Chevy Chase High School,
spoke on the importance of giving all
children equal opportunity for edu-
cation. Opposition to the legislation
was based on the belief that educa-
ton should be a State and not a
Federal matter.
To Advise Delegation.
Maryland members of Congress
will be advised of the federations
action.
Emergency action was denied on
resolution introduced by the Wood
land Citizens Association opposing
the Suburban Sanitary Commission
plan for garbage collection and dis
posal in the suburban area Of the
county with the cost charged on the
water bill. The resolution would
have asked the county commits.
sioners to handle the collection at
no increased cost to the taxpayers.
A special study of the matter will
be made by committee composed
of Herbert Eaton, chairman: Charles
H. Squire, Loren B. Newman. Capt.
Charles Parsons, L. B. Sinns and
Gerhard j. Isaac.
Several delegates contended that
the county board had not given a
satisfactory reply to the federation's
request last year that it take some
action in the matter.
The new committee will endeavor
to determine whether the suburban
area IS already taxed for garbage
collection and disposal. as claimed
by the Woodland association. and
whether any money is available
from such taxes for the service.
Approve Resolution.
The federation indorsed without
opposition resolution introduced by
the Public Utilities Committee rec
ommending the standardized regu-
lation of taxicab rates. schedules,
zones, identification and respon-
sibility
The county commissioners will be
asked to take the responsibility for
seeing that the desired action is
taken.
Dwight NJ. Collins, chairman Of
the schools committee, reported that
the county schools are well-prepared
for the coming year He reported
a definite overcrowding in only three
schools-Westbrook, Bradley and
-Four Corners Elementary Schools
with construction under way at each
which will alleviate the situation at
the end of the year,
Suggestions for desirable postwar
projects were requested by Rhees
Burkett, chairman of the new Post
war Planning Committee.
Mrs. Walter E Perry explained the
recent organization of the Mont
gomerv County Community Chest
and asked for the support of the
federation in the Community War
Fund Campaign
The November meeting of the
federation will be held in Silver
Spring.

Virginia War Board
Approves 40 Food Goals

BLACKSBURG, Va, Oct. II (P).-
More than 40 food production goals
suggested by the War Food Admin
istration received the approval of
the State War Board yesterday at
the opening session OF three-day
conference of State, agricultural
workers and representatives of the
VIA.
In comparison with 1943 esti-
mated production. 1914 production
of the following will be the same
or slightly lower:
Irish potatoes. sweet potatoes.
oats, rye, cotton, lespedeza for seed,
milk and milk products and four
other vegetables for processing
green peas, snap beans, sweet corn
and tomatoes.
Fairly heavy reductions were rec
commended for poultry and hogs.
The scarcity of feed came into the
discussion and the uncertainty of
the supply made it difficult to ar
rive at fixed figures.
