for softies when the going gets

To date, few hospitals have
offered gymnasium facilities to
student nurses because physical

With the outbreak of war, how
ever, and the realization that
many of the girls would have TO

On occupational deferments, draft

With men of equal skill, the man
who had been in ga and is asking
an occupational deferment for the
first time generally has better
chance than the man who comes up

Then, other things are being taken
into consideration. The draft
official, as an example, cited two
cooks of equal skill. One works at
downtown Government restaurant,
the other at an important Govern
ment installation at the edge of the
city. The former might be given a
stay of induction until his employer
can find replacement but the latter
might be deferred because of the
difficulty of finding another skilled
cook who would travel so far to
his job.
Draft boards are having more
direct contact with employers. They
have to know the man is fireplace

5000 Ships and 9 900 Planes
Added by Navy in Six Months

BY the Associated Press
More than 5000 naval craft and
5000 airplanes were added to the
naval forces in the first half of
1943, the Navy reported yesterday.
Landing craft accounted for sub
stantially more than half of the
added vessels. However, there was
greater tonnage of newly COM
pleted combatant ships-battleships,
aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers,
destroyer escorts and submarines.
For every three warships in the
fleet on January l. 1943," the de-
partment said, ''the Navy COM
pleted one additional fighting ship
during the first half of the year.
The 5000 planes did not represent

Nazis Aim 10 Wipe Out
Liberty, Giraud Tells
Georgetown 1rainees
By LEWIS r. ATCHIsON.


No American or Frenchman coule
tolerate the aims of Nazi Germany
which would deprive them of theil
cherished liberty, Gen. Henri Honore
Giraud, French North African COM
mander, told 1000 Army STAR pro.
gram trainees at Georgetown Uni
versity.
Speaking from "Old North Porch,
where George Washington, Lafayette
and Foch stood in the past to ad-
dress the students, Gen. Giraud told
his audience that his capture in two
wars with Germany had given him
a clear insight into its schemes and
plans for the future.
Il know the aim of the enemy is
the enslavement of all men, the en-
slavement of everything not Ger
man." he said.
Talk Is Not Impassioned.
The general spoke slowly-almost
weighing his words, and stoically
His talk was not impassioned, but
in the language of a commanding
officer who clearly has analyzed a
problem and laid his plan of battle.
He had twinkle in his eye and
smiled slightly when the assemblage
burst into applause at the conclu-
sion of the Interpretation of his
remarks.
The Interpretation was 1t. Col.
Leon Dostert, U. S. A., professor
of French at Georgetown for IS
years, who is accompanying the
general on his tour.
Gen. Giraud said he was fully
conscious of the great honor" paid
him, fully aware of all that it
means to stand on this spot where
Lafayette and Foch stood before
me-"
Lafayette is Recalled.
Lafayette, he said, recalled the
American Revolution when French
men aided the United States in
their struggle for freedom. Foch's
name recalled the victory of 1918
when once again we fought side
by side"
He complimented the troops on
their appearance and bearing and
said he knew they would be faith
full to their trust of leadership. He
reminded them that they were all
leaders, whether of great or small
groups, in every day life and must
conduct themselves as such.
Gen. Giraud, f1anked by Secret
servicemen, were created in front of
Healey Hall upon his arrival by the
very Rev. Lawrence German, S. j.,
president of the university, and the
Rev. Edmund Walsh, S. j., dean of
the school of foreign service; the
Rev. Steven McNamee, S. j.. dean
of the college, and other members
of the faculty.
With his aides Gen. Louis Fortier
and 1t. Viret, Gen. Giraud then
witnessed the retreat ceremony,
which was followed by a review of
the troops.

Women Workers Constitute
Over Half of FBI Personnel

With 1900 women on its rolls
double the number a year ago, and
13 times as many as were employed
in prewar days-the fair sex now

reau of Investigation.
This was revealed by the Office OF
War Information last night in a
report reviewing the work of FBI's

industrial Interdependence

Gareth Muchmore, writing for the
Associated Press, discusses a trend
toward interdependence which, if
continued, may bring practically all
of the productive capacities of the
United States into a single gigantic
combine. The war, he says, lis en-
phasizing in a positive fashion how
much American industries need each
other. Unlike the days when a busi-
ness could flourish alone, relying
largely on local sources of fuels, raw
materials and manpower, the current
picture is one of industries so closely
tied together that trouble in one Sec
ton means widespread difficulty"
BY way Of illustration of the move
ment, Mr.. Muchmore cites the
example of the Pullman Standard
Car Manufacturing Company which
has been making tanks for the Army
with the help of 865 suppliers and
subcontractors in 206 cities in twen-
ty-five States. If labor trouble de-
velops in one of the secondary plants,
Its effects may include the enforced
idleness of thousands of workers.
The Importance of industrial har-
mony throughout the entire country
Is obvious in the circumstances.
But the growing interdependence

quit particular job and take another
particular job.
1t Is only necessary to control employ
ment by telling the employer how many
people he can employ. The same business
men who now apply to Government au-
thorities for the right to buy materials
would apply for the right to employ
certain number OF workers. This right
to employ could be allocated so that all
would have the right to employ num-
Der OF workers which equalled the num-
ber OF workers in that territory. Essential
war industries and essential civilian
industries would be given the right to
employ all they needed Nonessential
civilian industry would be cut down to
make supply and demand balance.
There's no forced labor about this.
We would simply be saying that there
are certain jobs worker can't work at.
That leaves him an enormous number
of essential civilian and war Jobs to
choose from and he's free to seek the
best, to improve himself as much as he
Is able and to prove to himself that no
malicious authority is discriminating
against him.
Incidentally, we eliminate the great
est cause for labor inef1iciency and the
greatest cause for the inf1ationary rise
In wages-the fact that there are 10
jobs waiting for every worker who gets
fired or who quits.
OF course, we're playing an awfully
mean trick on our boys in the service
by not stating our war industries and
by not meeting our production schedules.
A little political courage is required to
correct this evil but don't let the VINO
fool you into thinking that anything
so drastic as a labor draft is necessary
or desirable.
It's only necessary to exercise type
of control over employers similar to the
control we already exercise in connec-
ton with the materials they are per-
mitted to buy and workers will be
guided, in their own interest, into the
jobs we need done.
This will. of course, inconvenience
some people and so lose some votes, so
the Government cannot be expected to
take the action until the rest of the
voters are aroused and that's where you
and the rest Of the free press come in.

wolves many other problems OF equal
Importance. Mr.. Muchmore explains
that subcontracting has brought So
per cent of the Nations smaller
manufacturers into the war effort.
When peace at last has been achieved
and the tremendous demands of
reconstruction are needed as they
must be, if only to provide the pros
perity required to pay the costs of
the victory, the orders should be
spread over at least as wide an area.
The lnterrelation of business is also
an interrelation of people. In the
human phase of the question are
such social issues as town and road
planning, educational policy, health
and unemployment insurance, the
financing of new enterprises reflect
ing the unparalleled advances of
science in the past few years.
And when the whole continental
panorama is studied with care it
suddenly becomes apparent that
what seems centripetal compulsion
is likewise distributive. Industry is
being centralized, but it paradoxically
is being scattered over the entire
landscape. This is fact we'll within
the American tradition represented
in the essential concept of the Fed
eral Union-the principle of CO.
operation for mutual benefit. This
interdependence," Mr.. Muchmore
concludes, "has grown tighter with
the war effort. Without it.
= the Nations factories could
never have increased their peacetime
output several times over in an
amazingly short period" 1t would
be logical to continue in the postwar
era the processes of production which
have proved so efficient, and If their
continuance involves a number of
useful correlative adjustments the
advantages commonly should be
anticipated with satisfaction.

And Still More Bombs

From the London telegraph and Morning Post.
Air encirclement is still a threat of
the future for both Axis partners, but the
closing of the Allied air grip on Italy
brings the danger nearer Germany.
When bombers from this country can
take fresh load from Italian air fields
the coming downfall of the Nazi Reich
will be plain to every part of 1t. Already
the Berlin propagandists are in hys-
terics. They tell their countrymen that
the battle of the Ruhr goes beyond
human imagination. Nobody who has
not seen it with his own eyes can have
even the faintest notion of it." More
than 10000 tons of bombs distributed on
seven armament towns in a month have
undoubtedly produced results far beyond
the vision of Hitler when he set forth to
terrorize the world into slavery by the
Luftwaffe. Maintenance of the offensive
on such scale as in the last day and
night attacks and with continuity will
reduce the German power Of arms pro-
duction below the bare necessities OF
defense.

The New Curbine

1t took about twenty years to de-
velop the famous Garand rifle, basic
infantry weapon OF this war. But
the Arn1y's new carbine, which has
proved itself in Sicily, was designed
and produced in month -and-a half.
This is interesting as an illustration
of what American ingenuity can do
when the chips are down and the
emphasis is on speed.
This new carpine is a remarkable
weapon. Designed to supplement
rather than replace the Garand, it
is about half as heavy as the rifle,
and is three feet long. Only a pull
OF the trigger is necessary to fire each
Of its fifteen shots, and it can be fired
with one hand, like a pistol, when
necessary. 1t is designed primarily
for use by paratroopers, rangers,
