SILENCE.

Silence stands behind Il waterfall.
Her smile waivers with the water,
She holds branch of green leaves
I'm hcr hands,
One for each weary cyclid
Whereby the slccplcss eye is hid.
Silence wears Il robe
White as milk is white,
Flowing softly
As dusk flows into night.
Silence regards us with calm eyes,
Like two summer stars
risen in The watcr--SkiCS.
Silence smiles
The radiation uG light across her
face

Silence says no word,
Between Us III tins place

SKILLED WORKERS
WILL Be DRAFTED
VINO Feels That Army's
Needs Come Second In
Certain Fields

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-P-
The War Manpower Commission
feels that when it comes to tax
ing men with critical skills away
from industry, the Army's needs
come second"
A VINO spokesman thus con-
firmed today as national policy
statements made to Buffalo, N. Y,
draft board members by Com
mander E. B. Erickson, regional
selective service officer for New
York, to the effect that "the needs
of industry are paramount and the
meeting of our (draft quota) calls
next in performance"
The headquarters official en-
phasized, however, that this does
not mean that Army and Navy
calls for men upon draft boards
are to go untitled. 1t does mean,
he said, that boards must resort
to the drafting of fathers, under
the terms laid down by VINO on
August IA, rather than cripple war
industry.

CALL FOR PRODUCTION

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4 -R-
President Roosevelt, in a Labor
day message directed to workers,
farmers and employers, called to-
day for increased production to
speed the day Of victory and thus
save lives and suffering"
The Presidents statement was
one Of many similar proclamations
by government and labor leaders
urging still greater speed in the
output of war goods but at the
same time pralsing the vast
amount of work already under
way on the home front.
MIR. Roosevelt's statement said:
"Fifty-six years ago Labor day
was observed for the first time in
the United States. Since then we
have fought one World war to vic
tory and now are engaged in an
other and even greater conflict
upon the result Of which depends
the future Of freedom loving peo-
pie the world over.
with that priceless heritage at
stake we are determined that this
World war, too, shall result in
victory so that life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness shall be
the lot of man when he wills it
and that he be not the doWntrod-
den serf of brutal Axis masters.
That determination is shared by
all Americans; by workers, by
management and by farmers.
1T is altogether fitting that
these groups of free Americans
are working today, many laboring
on round the clock shifts, that our
fighting men on land, on sea and
in the air may have the weapons
with which to bring about victory
as speedily as possible.
ITO make time and thus save

Medicine To Streptococci
Infection Sufferer

supply of pencillin, the new mi
racle drug" was flown here by
the Army Liberator bomber from
New York today for treatment of
15-year-old girl, seriously ill
with a streptococci infection.
The four-engined plane. piloted
by Col. J. E. Davis, of Mitchell
Field, landed at Warner Robbins
air depot, about 20 miles from
here. The drug was Immediately
transferred to a car and rushed
to the hospital, where physicians
began administering it to Anne
Shirley Carter.
The Army provided the plane
after supply of the drug had
been dispatched by parcel post
yesterday in answer to an appeal
from the Macon News.
Don Weldon of the News waited
all last night in Atlanta. expect
ing the shipment to arrive by
Commercial Airlines. Learning
today that it was coming parcel
post, physicians advised that it
would probably arrive too late to
save the girl. The Army was
then requested to transport du
plicate shipment of the drug.
The girl is the daughter of c.
K. Carter, superintendent of the
Southern Railway here. The fam
lily formerly lived in Danville, Va,
and the Danville Register-Bee join
ed in the effort to obtain allot-
ment of a supply of the drug from
the National Research Council
committee on it's distribution.
Meanwhile in Atlanta, six-year-
old Barbara Gilmore was report
ed improving slightly after adj
ministrations of penicillin.

their production pace but to in
crease it. Their record to date
has been magnificent and in keep
ing with the true American spirit
of all out effort for those fighting
SO valiantly and so successfully
in all parts of the world.
THAT increased production eff

be given gladly for love of coun-
try and for liberty, as it has been
given since Pearl Harbor, to set
up record that never has been

German transport facilities in &C.
cupied Europe, squadrons of fleet
American PAT Thunderbolts made
wide sweeps over Belgium late in
the day.
Down Enemy Planes
Allied fighters brought down a
total of II enemy planes during
the day at a loss of five, but at
least one of the Allied pilots was
safe
Even greater blows are to come,
for Gen. Henry H. Arnold, chief
of U. S. Army Air Forces, de-
clared today that the U. S. daylight
bombing campaign of Nazidom
would be stepped up in "the near
future" with far bigger bombers
able to fly through worse weather
than lying Fortresses.
This campaign now has No. 1
priority on American heavy bomb
er production, Arnold said, and
1--WE are progressing with develop
ment of planes, crews and the
technique for a British-based tao
teal airforce. When the ime
comes for continental invasion we
will do what the tactical air force
in northwest Africa did so bril-
lantly in Tunisia and Sicily and
now is doing in Italy"
The general declared that eff the
Germans don't stop our bombers,
they won't have any airforce left,
and without any airforce they
won't be able to continue the
war"
With the German airforce under
almost continuous 24-hour strain,
the Nazis appeared still to be CROP
ing for defenses against bomber
forces making a shambles of Ber-
lin.
The Lancasters last night not
only had to dogfight through Ma
ri interceptors which. the Stock
holm Aftonbladet said, met them
as far as 100 miles from the CAPT
tai, but also had to brave fairly
heavy anti-aircraft fire over the
target. In the two previous heavy
assaults, the Germans had held
down ground fire trying to turn
back the raiders with searchlights
and fighters.
A German broadcast declared the
centre area of Berlin was sur
rounded by a dense screen of the
heaviest anti-aircraft batteries"

dered through any failure of the
railroads because of inadequate
manpower."
Eastman's proposal for suspend
ing the regulations, which critics
call Feather bedding" or make
work systems, comes within SIX
weeks after he reported that i
think there is a gross exaggera-
ton in the criticisms OF these
railway procedures.
He said tonight the Interstate
Commerce commission is empoW-
cred to suspend any full-crew rule
or train and engine mileage hml-
tation, whether they are state laws
or agreements between railway
mana cement and labor. Or, he
said, labor and management could
mutually agree to it.
'There is evidence that as a re-
suit of continued mileage limita-
tions on some railroads substan-
tial numbers of train and engine
men are not yet working the num-
Der of hours which can be reason
ably considered to be full time
under present conditions, East
man commented.
Other points in his proposal:
That Mexican citizens be obtain
ed to do maintenance work along
rights of-way, and that the War
department assign prisoners of
war for such work wherever prac-
ticable.
Expansion of the program for
utilizing the service of women in
railway jobs, and the establish
ment of flying squads of region
al pools of highly trained railway
labor for joint use of all railroads
in any area of serious labor short
age.
That all railroads file with the
Selective Bureau a Replacement
schedule" which would, in effect,
constitute agreement between the
railways and Selective Service as
to which and how many employees
may be indicted and the dates
after which they will be available
to call. He promised that ODT will
ask Selective Service to grant a
6O-day moratorium on inductions
