available in every community
A. No. The USES, however,
will know what jobs are available,
in each community as we'll as IN
other localities.
O. Where is there the most
necessity for workers transfer
ring from non essential to essen
tial jobs?
A. In labor shortage areas,
Housing and transportation make
it impossible to continue large
scale in migration, so that ev-
cry worker in the community who
can be made available to war sup
porting work is vitality needed.
@. What about women? Are
they needed, too?
A. Yes. To avoid in migration
and continued overcrowding, la
Dor shortage areas must call up
on local women to fill local jobs,
Women who can work part time
are needed as well as those who
can work full time. Both are
needed in war plants, in restau-
rants, in transportation, in stores,
in laundries, etc. The USES can
tell women where they are need
ed and refer them to jobs. News
paper advertisements should also
be watched.
@. Cannot war production sche-
dulles be fulfilled if men do not
transfer from less-essential to es-
sentfal work, and if more women
do not take jobs?
A. No. Military and production
demands have SO consumed the
available manpower that less-es
sential workers and women not
now employed remain the only
sources Of addition workers

Free enterprise will be our

LUCKY
BY
TED YATES

left the playing to the musicians,
The bands made money and he
bought five of them until one was
good enough for a high-priced
tour of France.
In Paris it was embarrassing not
to know a little music. He took
lessons across the street from his
hotel. Those Frenchmen thought
that he was terrific.
But it all came too fast and he
went into a stupor. He found
himself going in for culturist arts,
buying dogs with diamonds in their
eyes, and chartering a plane to
fly around America nonstop.
After having missed bookings
and rehearsals during a coast-to.
coast party spree he woke up one
day and found that the trade had
practically blacklisted him. Then
came humble four-year trek to
bookers and agents. The original
band fell away, but Lucky bor-
rowed thousands of dollars to keep
some sort of a group together.
Sometimes they were taken on as
extranighters at the Savoy, often
they played for almost nothing in
tank-town halls.
One day he discovered that this
Lucky Millinder was a character.
He made him a big talker who was
always good for laugh.
In character, he became a pal
and e0urt-jester for Moe Gale,
manager of most sepia entertain-
er5.
Gale spotted Lucky's talent and
signed his band.
That ended the exile. He bought

When Tin Pan Alley decides
that a band leader is washed up,
it takes all the sweet-talking
swagger of a Lucky Milllnder to
crawl out from under the hard
finger of the trade.
Four years ago Lucky was a
broken has-been who couldn't get
a Job playing for a Lenox Avenue
fish fry. His comeback story is
only part Of the fabulous pattern
of Lucky's life. Today Lucky IS
riding high with another famous
band, coming more money than
ever before.
The name was Lucius Millinder
when he was hppy l5-year-old
growing up with the gin mills and
new swing music of Chicago's
gangster era. Stage-crazy and
cocky, he had bulldozed night club
owners into letting him produce
bizarre floor shows. Lucius pro-
NOTED the idea around town that
he was veteran Broadway boy,
and one night the word went out
that Ralph Capone wanted him.
Someone had heard that Lucius
was the son of a millionaire New
York Snowman. That was suf-
fcient recommendation for the
Capones. They signed him as
creator, producer and manager Of
a private club.
Meanwhile "the boy from New
York. mingled with the boys and
occasionally called his boss
"Albert." With better educa-
ton than most Of them, he played
the jester. A member of the in
ner circle during q dice game,
won, tossed him $500 and called
him lucky. Lucius. who knew a
feod thing, became Lucky Later
the band leader took sick ard
Lucky asked for his job. But a
Capone lieutenant said gently:
"Iha amt honest, Lucky"
When Il Capone heard about
his luck-pie1a's musical tastes, he
bought him TIE band. Lucky didn't
know a note Of music -- it's
questionable how many he knows
today--but he YVES a Snowman.

A. A critical worker is one
possessing one Of the 149 skills
designated by the War Manpower
Commission as essential who rs
using that skill to the fullest
extent in support of the war eff
fort. He is key worker, usual
ly one with highly skilled pro
duction or service job, or with
professional or scientific oceu-
patton. Such skills are usually
obtained only through long per-
iod of training, which is why
such workers are almost impos-
sible to replace.
Q. Are all critical workers to
be deferred?
A. The War Manpower Commits
sion has said they have the No.
| priority ON deferments. They
will be indicted only after all
others have been called.
@. Does the list of critical work
ers change the draft status Of any
worker in essential industry who
is not a critical worker?
A. No. His draft status is not
affected, There has been much
misunderstanding about this, par
ticulary in the transportation in
dustry.
@. Now that fathers are to be
drafted, will a father in a less
essential industry be called for
induction before one in an es-
sential industry?
A. Probably Now that depend
ency is eliminated as a cause for
deferment, except in hardship
cases, occupation remains the
yardstick by which local boards
measure registrants. The less es-
sential worker has less cause for
remaining civilian than the es-
sential worker. Also, most war
plants now have replacement sche-
dulles which plan the withdrawal
of workers at a rate which will
not interfere with production.
G. In the West Coast where
there is a shortage even of re-
placements for unskilIed workers
in essential industries, will any
unskilled workers be deferred?
A. The local board will take
the difficulty in replacing him in
to consideration in making up its
mind in his case. If his induc-
ton would curtail production, he
will probably be deferred.
@. is there any guarantee that
a worker. who has been employ
ed for, say, 10 years in a nom
Iagcrrable or lcss-essential in
dustry will retain his rights to
his peacctime job if he transfers
now to a transporting job?
A. The War Manpower Commits
sion has no way of providing such
a guarantee, except IN areas such
as Detroit, where the protection
Of the seniority rights in part of
the Area Manpower Agreement.
Such a guarantee, to be effective,
could only be provided, as it is
for men entering service, through
legislation. However, the en-
ploye may be able to reach an
understanding with his employ
err, either as an individual or
through his union.

power Commission as essential to
the war effort.
Q. Are these the only aetvi-
ties considered to be making
contribution to the war effort?
A. No. Most of the essential
industries make a direct contri-
button. Many others, however,
such as lanudries, restaurants,
hotels, ETC., make an indirect but
important contribution. In many
areas, such services have been
designated as locally neces-
sary by the War Manpower Com
mission.
@. What is a non-deferrable
activity?
A. One of the 60 occupations
and 5S industries declared non
deferrable by the War Manpow
er Commission. Men of military
age holding such jobs together
with idlers, have been ordered
to transfer to transporting
work or face immediate reclassi-
fieation for induction under the
Selective Service Act.
@. Are all activities, other
than declared essential or locally
necessary, non-deferrable aeti
vities?
A. No. Many persons mistaken
ly believe this to be so. There
are large number of industries
which have not been classified.
4 @. How does a person determine
how his activity is rated ?
A. The lists of the various
classifications have been publish
ed in the newspapers. If a per-
/ son still is in doubt, he can call
nupon the nearest office of the
United States Employment Ser
vice for advice in determining the
value of his job to the war CT
fort and the ACCESSIBILITY of
change.
@, What transporting indus
tries most need workers?
A. The most acute need is in
airplane plants, shipyards, chemi-
cal and aluminium factories and
such vital war industries. How
ever, many of these plants are
in localities where there is a
shortage Of housing and trans
portation. Local industries, such
as TRANSPORTATION and community
services, also have great need
of more workers.
Q. How should one go about
applying for such work?
! A. BY consulting the United
States Employment Service. Each
| USES office know the jobs avail
able in the vicinity, as well ah
the community facilities avail
able in other communities where
more workers are needed.
Q. Can get a job on the West
I Coast?
A, There is a great need for
shipyard and aircraft workers
on the West Coast. Your local
! USES office can tell you all
about the employment opportuni-
ties there.
9, Are all workers in essen
ttal industries to be deferred?
A. No. However, occupational
reasons for deferement are be-
ing given greater consideration
than ever before.
Q. What is a critical worker ?
How can a person become one?
