At 4:30 p. Must at cocktail

called a five minute drunk" They

Anglo-American- Russian conference
would have "even greater echoes"
than the Roosevelt Churchill meet
ings at Casablanca and Quebec.
THE President of the United
States has come long distance
toTehran," he said. Stain has
gone outside his frontiers for the
first time. Neutrals as we'll as bel

Neutral Turkey might be drawn
into the war by an Allied request
for the use of bases from which to
bomb and perhaps invade Greece
or Bulgaria.
illus said that it was probable
the Roosev Churchill Stain
meeting was "at this very moment
in session. at Tehran, rather than
Tabr1z.
The Germans, anticipating a
possible tri-power demand for their
surrender, already were warning
that they never would give in to
the Allies.
Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph
Goebbe1s set the pace by asserting
in his publication Das Reich that,
lone may have to suffer blows,
but one must never give in"
"That nation will be victorious
which does not carry the white
flag of surrender in its baggage, :"
he said.
The newspaper zwoelfuhrblatt,
in similar vein, declared:
zone hundred million Germans
are welded through life and death
in unity and would rather be torn
to pieces for the Fuehrer than to
make the tiniest concessions to the
enemy"
Radio Vichy said Stain again

Talks Subsidy

Washington, Dec. 3 - (U.P) -
Senator John H. Bankhead, D., Ala,
proposed today that the government
scrap its subsidy program and
adopt instead a plan to help low
income groups solve their food prob
lem by giving them food stamps
similar to those issued in the de-
preston years.
Bankhead, bitter foe of sub
sides, made his proposal as the
Senate Banking Committee con-
tinued hearings on a house APPROX
ed measure to prevent government
use of subsidies after December 81.
Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia of
New York, an advocate of subsidies
was among scheduled witnesses.
Noting assertions that ban on
subsidies would increase food prices
Bankhead said a food stamp plan
would protect the loW-income
groups but would place on those
earning high wartime wages the
responsibility of paying their own
way. He contended it would cost less
than the subsidy program.

| vealed today at the VINO office
that one small concern of the area
has just received a new war order
and has placed demand for many
additional new workers at the U. s.
Employment Service.
Mrs. Mary M. Dewey, area VINO
director, stated the various changes
which have occurred in recent weeks
amount to a change in pattern
rather than a displacement OF the
set-up. She stated that with only
small handfuls of workers affected
so far it is difficult to state the Grill
cal aspect is definitely passing. She
said, however, that the labor STU
alton seems to be improving and
that the Handwriting is on the
wall" as far as continued shortage
Is concerned.
Unwillingness of dismissed work
ers to take other jobs may be a
drawback in aiding the shortage
at some plants, it was stated. A
group of women who were recently
discharged from a manufacturing
concern refused to take jobs else
where and returned to their homes
satisfied that they had done thei,
share in the war effort and con-
tented to take up housekeeping
again, 1t was reported. The French
Mfg. Co., is among the concerns
known to have laid off women re-

workers are expected to be per.

ment, with many objections already
said to have been voiced by ex-
workers who are forced to seek new

Mrs. Dewey said today that nu-
merous rumors are circulating about
the city on allegedly planned lay
offs, but that no official reports
of extensive changes have beer
made or are expected. She sale
approximately 1000 new workers
will be needed within the next siz
weeks, and pointed out that one
large manufacturer today has ar
order for 500 additional employees
She stated the employc changes
made with contract changes SHOULD
not be mistaken to indicate imme-
diate effect on the whole employ
rnent set-up and that it will take
