Teller Sought
As Bank Finds
$4,000 Missing
FBI Files Complaint
Charging }. R. Young
With Toking Funds

A city-Wide search was pressed
today for a 38-year-old bank
teller who, police said, is wanted
for questioning in an investiga-
ton of an apparent shortage OF
more than $4,000 in the &C
counts of the Security Savings g.
Commercial Bank, Ninth and G.
streets NV.
The Federal Bureau of Investi-
CATION said today it was filing a
complaint with United States Com
missioner Needham C. Turnage
charging the teller with embezzle-
ment of S25,000 1t was explained
the FBI had entered the case be-
cause the alleged charge involved
Federal statute.
Detective Sergt David Higgins of
the police check squad identified the
man being sought as John Rodney
Young of the $500 block of Seventh
street NV
Francis G. Addison, jr., president
of the bank, said the loss was fully
covered by bond. He said the short
age was in excess of $4,000 and
might run as high as $4,000. Mr..
Addison said the teller had been em-
ployed by the bank for 20 years,
starting out as a messenger.
Sergt. Higgins said the shortage
was discovered some time after the
| teller had been excused around $3.50
pm. to go to doctor for an eye
examination. When he failed to re-
turn at closing time, an employe
was assigned to put his accounts in
order.
Because it was Government pay
day, yesterday had been busy day
at the bank, which closed at 5 pm,
according to police. 1
Police broadcast a lookout for the
teller late In the day, and today were
working on the theory he still is in
Washington.
Sergt. Higgins quoted the mans
wife as saying there was nothing in
| her husbands manner to indicate
anything was wrong. She said she
had not seen her husband since he
left for work yesterday morning, ac-a
cording to the detective. &
The teller was said to be a. native
of Washington and the father Of a
14-year-old boy. Sergt. Higgins de-
scribed him as home loving man."

Senate Committee Told
Housewives Must Be
Drafted Into Industry
BY the Associated Press.

A Senate investigating committee,
told the military expansion will re-
quire large, rowing bands of house
wife-industrial workers, called lease
lend officials today to explain where
additional manpower can be found
to produce and ship more war goods
Even as an Appropriations Subcom-
mitteed summoned Lease-Lend Ad-
ministrator Edward r. Stettinius,
jr., the Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee asked Army and Navy off,
cials to compare at a closed session
the size of the Axis armed services
with those of the United Nations
Some Senators predicted the en-
emy would be shown to have ap-
proximately 100000 more fighters
than the United Nations. II so, they
said, there naturally would be
greater pressure for bigger United
States Army.
Fear Disruption of Industry.
Some members of the appropria-
tions group, however, contend that
private testimony in the last two
weeks indicates that this country
cannot afford to increase its armed
forces to 100000 by the end of the
year without disrupting agriculture
and industry.
Harold w. Metz Of the Brookings
Instttntinn WAS reported to have
told the committee yesterday that
expanGiOn Of the Army and Navy
win necessitate the recruiting of a
large force Of additional woman
war workers.
Housewives and many other
women not now employed must be
conscripted, Mr.. Metz was quoted as
saying. A Senator who asked to re-
main anonymous added that the
witness also cited figures to show
that this new group of workers
would have to be relocated in labor
shortage areas.
48-Hour Week for All.
In a Brookings pamphlet distrib-
uted to committee members, Mr..
Metz asserted that to establish an
armed force of 9,500000 it would be
necessary to employ 60 per cent of
the available non-farm housewives
under As without small children and
also IS per cent of the youths be-
tween IA and l9 normally in school.
A 48-hour work week would be
essential for all, Mr.. Metz said, and
I'VE would be making as great, if
not greater, demands upon our man.

erents."

Britons Tip u. S.
On Five Ways to
| Save Shoes

Shoe -rationed Americans can take
tip from Britons who have been
getting by on minimum of foot
wear for several years, according
to the British Information Services
which today released a British
Board of Trade announcement OF
five ways to make shoes last longer.
The suggestions which are being
published in Britain newspapers
follow:
Every one who has more than one
pair of shoes should wear them in
turn and not keep to the same pair
day after day.
Clean shoes regularly, removing
dust and dirt before polishing, and
rub polish we'll into shoe.
Choose a dry day for wearing
new or newly soled shoes for the
first time.
Never put shoes close to fire
or radiator.
Don't let your shoes wear out too
much before having them repaired
The British Board of Trade also
suggested that children's shoes
which are frequently outgrown be-
fore being outworn, be passed on tc
mothers with smaller children.

have caused would-be customers
10 take their woes 20 the OPA.
Price sterilization is reported

will not press for used car cell
ings, at least for the present.
Only a new spiral upward by
greedy dealers will stir up the
