The new regulations, which in
corporate controls over numerous
jobs not previously classified in the
local list, had been discussed at
numerous meetings Of the local
group. The signatures today were
sought individually, with no gen.
eral meeting Of the group planned.
Adoption of the new plan will
make way for the start Of the hiring
controls plan, held up since october
Is because the committee failed to
reach an agreement. The "interim"
plan now in effect here will be
dropped as soon as Boston gives
its approval of the new regulations,
and it is believed the new controls
will then be placed in full opera
ton.
Job placement under the new
controlled hiring program will apply
to jobs included on the Critical list"
released nationally August Is, on
new list called additional con-
trolled occupations" and TO a spe-
cial classification of area jobs In
which demands are greater than the
available supply. The lists will be
so comprehensive 1T has been
pointed out, that practically all
jobs will be included. Clerical and
service jobs will be out of the con-
trolled classification with store and
restaurant employees and domestic
help practically the only categories
omitted from the new controls.
Union officials are still reported
to be dissatisfied with the new
placement program, which will be
based on priority system, but it is
believed some appeasement steps
may be taken. Unions are object
ing because they have no repre-
sentation on the priority urgency
committee which will determine the
ratings of all employers and direct
new workers in accordance with the
priority classifications.
The new plan contains seniority
clauses which guarantee rights to
workers who are shifted to other
jobs and also provide for continued
operation union hiring channels.
Both provisions were added after

GUADALCANAL DIARY. BY Rich

New York. 1943.
Here is a saga of the United
States Marines in the Solomons,
told by a reporter who was there
with them during those summer
months last year when they taught
the Japs lessen the "Nips'' are
going to remember with a shudder.
The Marines usually take the
toughest, dirtiest jobs in wartime
and never ask any quarter. AS
one Colonel said the job on Quad
alcanal was no picnic. The
Marines landed and started clean
ing up the island in their we'll
known fashion. They would have
preferred to meet the Japs in the
open but that was almost impossible
because the Japs employed the
jungle type of fighting which en-
phasized an elaborate form of snip
ing.
Many commander these days
ends his orders with the expression,
Good hunting!" 1t was good hunt
ing at Guadalcanal but dangerous
because the Marines were hunted
while they were hunting. The Japs
used a great net of snipers who
watched every trail like hawks
When Marines passed the snipers
liked to shoot them from behind.
This infuriated the Americans. They
learned quickly, however, and some
of the Marines became as clever as
the old time frontiersmen in Amer
ica.
AS time passed fewer men were
lured to their deaths by snipers and
BOBBY traps. One of the toughest
of all jobs on Guadalcanal was that
of digging the Japs out of their
limestone caves. The Nips just
wouldn't come out and surrender.
Sometimes the Marines had to blow
them out with dynamite or go in
and get them Individual heroism
played a great part in the winning
of the island. An American would
throw a grenade into a cave only
to have it thrown back at him. He,
then would throw it back if he had
