Mr.. Flynn's resignation as the

him at least one Democratic vote
in the Senate committee. that OF
Senator Clark of Missouri. The
MisSourian had announced that if
Mr. Flynn retained his membership
in the Democratic National Com

The retirement Of Mr.. Flynn from
the committee leaves a vacancy from
New York which will be filed by

1t was because of this situat ton in
New York that Mr. Flynn announced

sad blow to New Dealers both there

that Mr.. Farley must be reckoned

Senate Unit TO Study
Proposal 10 Segregate
Loyal Jap-Americans
Subcommittee Plans
Inspection Trip to
Relocation Camps

BY The Associated Pres.
Chairman Chandler of a Senate
Military subcommittee disclosed
plans today to investigate the fea-
sbility of removing a large group
Of loyal Americans" from among
the upwards of l06 900 japanese
detained in a dozen scattered colo
MES
The announcement followed an
Senator Wallgren, Democrat, of
Washington, to transfer supervision
of the relocated Japanese back to
the War Department from the War
Relocation Authority. Joseph c.
Grew. former Ambassador to
Japan, was asked to appear to-
morrow.
viii Inspect Camps.
Senator Chandler said his sub
committee would make a trip OF
inspection of the camps to delve
into charges that the relocated Japa-
nese were 'pampered" and that lack
Of supervision led to riots, particu-
larly Pearl Harbor anniversary
demonstration at Manzanar. Calf,
last December in which one man
was killed.
We want to ask Ambassador Grew
for advice on whether reports are
correct that as many as tWo-thirdS
Of the japanese, the bulk of them

be released to enter the Army or
productive pursuits" Senator Chan
dler asserted.
1T seems that the NiSei-Ameri-
can-born. American educated Japa-
neSe-are loyal Americans and that
we have 1000 of them in our armed
forces Senator Chandler said.
Then there are the Eaisi-the
American born apanese-educate
and the Keobi-Japanese- born,
Japanese-educated living in this
country.
Fanatical Shintos.
We are told that probably less
than third of the three groups are
what is known as Shintos, the ia
natically religious japanese who are
unquestioned enemies of this coun-
try. and that they should be sep
arated from the others.
This segregation, in my opinion
should have been undertaken a long
time ago. The Shintos create dis
turbances and riots and should be
under the strictest control and
supervision
Senator Chandler also said COM
plants were piling up from citizens
living in areas near the colonies
that the Japanese were receiving
better food and educational oppor-
tunities than American citizens.

Birds Are Suggested

Further to complicate the lives of
Victory gardeners throughout Mary
land, the Japanese beetles are max
ing their 1943 debuts.
Mere vanguards of the hordes to
come later have been sighted so far
it is reported, and various forestry
and agricultural authorities offer a
number Of remedial programs.
Among them are:
Bait traps with geranium oil to
snare the Oriental intruders.
Spray plants with any good spray
made with lead arsenate or hydrated
lime. They do not kill the beetles
but definitely discourage them.
Encourage birds such as purple
grackles, European starlings, cardi-
mails, meadow larks, catbirds, spar
rows and robins to make your
shrnbbery or garden their homes for
awhile. They eat the metallic green
insects with great relish.
Release colonies of Tiphia wasps,
which raise their young on japanese
beetle larvae.
Let the common mole, large
short-tailed shrew, the pine mouse
and-this may be undesirable for
other reasons-the skunk live un-
molested. They consider the beetles
delicacy.

For statistical purposes, the bu-
reau defines q strike as a work
stoppage due to labor dispute in

lasts for one day, or one shift, or
longer. No attempt is made to COL
lect data on stoppages involving
lesser amounts.
Daily newspapers, labor and trade
journals and reports from Federal
labor boards provide the bureau
with its principal leads" with re-
spect to new strikes. It receives
clippings from more than TOO daily,
weekly and monthly papers and
journals, and bureau officials be-
Eeve that few II any, strikes escape
their attention. The bureau also
receives information from half a

On the basis Of leads from these
and other sources, the bureau sends
out schedules to employers and
unions involved, asking for specific
information. In some instances,
when unable to obtain reply to its

into the field its own agents.
In large strikes, the bureau often
takes special measures to assure the

and other data, including the dis

the bureau receives from the Gov

VINO Appeals Board
Cites Sample Rulings
On Job Change Bids
Experience Big Factor
In Determining Action;
Absenteeism PenuIized

The regional War Manpower
Commission today made public q
number Of cases illustrating what
actions may be taken when en-
ployers and the review unit Of the
United States Employment Service
have refused releases allowing work.
ers to change employment and the
cases have been taken to the VINO
Appeals Board.
In one case a release was granted
by the Appeals Board because an
aircraft employe with l6 years ex-
perience in the installation and
maintenance was unpacking and
cleaning propellers. The release
was granted on the ground he could
secure employment elsewhere Of
greater use to the war effort.
One release was granted because
working conditions gave an employe
arthritis and another, sought be-
cause of transportation difficulties,
was refused because the mans
home was equally inaccessible to
other war jobs.
LII hllOtilcI CdSC, q Wol hCi Woo lliC
for chronic absenteeism and his en-
ployer refused a release as a penalty.
The Appeals Board agreed to issue
a release as of a future date which
would mean a penalty of months
lay-off from the time the employe
appeared at USES, which was two
weeks after he was fired.
In one case worker in an cleo
trical equipment company was
granted release to secure employ
ment in a shipyard which would give
him chance to promote himself.
In another case, a steel mill laborer
who wanted to change jobs because,
he said, his wages were insufficient
to support his family. was refused a
release because he had no experience
that would indicate he could use his
training to better advantage else
where.
