by tne ASSOCIATED fleSS.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 49, The
Maryland War Manpower Commis-
sion appealed today for civilian
workers for processing plants
this week when Baltimore canneries
were expected to operate at peak
production rates.
The VINO reported that the Army
and the Coast Guard played a lead
ing role in food processing this

The soldiers and sailors probably

ments of food expected from the
northern central counties of Mary
land, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Delaware. However, the VINO said
the servicemen would not be avail
able in sufficient force to meet the
anticipated demand for workers this

worked in IL Baltimore canneries
from June 10 through Saturday. The
men came from Fort George G.

ployes to replace students and
teachers going back to classrooms
this month, Robert j. Wilson, ex-
ecutive secretary Of the Washington
Restaurant Association, said today.
Terming the labor shortage the
most critical in the industry,s his
tory, Mr.. Wilson said War Nam
power Commission approval to bring
workers In from other places would
be sought II requirements cannot be
secured In the District area.
He mentioned as potential re-
placements older men and women
who have retired; wives of officers
and enlisted men stationed In this
vicinity; wives Of Government work
ers, Government employees who
could do part-time restaurant work,
and persons who have never worked.
Draft Boards Called Fair.
Draft boards In the District have
been fair to the restaurant industry.
Mr.. Wilson emphasized, especially in
the deferment Of skilled personnel
such as cooks, chefs, bakers and
managers.
"Our biggest loss at present Con-
sists of students and teachers who
are going back to school," he said.
Some school teachers worked during
summer months as hoStesses, dieti-
clans and as mattresses"
The industry needs 500 men for
heavy work Immediately, he pointed
out, adding that restaurants are
short on cooks especially.
"One member alone called this
morning to notify me that his res
taurant Is short 80 employees" Mr..
Wilson continued. THE situation Is
critical. Unless relief Is given, many
restaurants may have to close two
days week, which imposes an addi-
tional burden on the eating places
which keep OPEN"
Housing Situation Improves.

housing situation here Is greatly"
improved, compared with six months

"We have informed the War

ployment ONCE Of our needs" Mr..

has been classified as essential,
workers must be found somewhere. .
Meanwhile. Sidney Friedman,
president OF the Maryland Restau-
rant Association, asserted that eat
ing places in that State, particularly
In Baltimore, faced q so per cent
curtailmentn of service if the short
age of workers was not relieved. He
complained that Selective Service
boards In Baltimore grant no de-
ferments to any restaurant en-
ployes." He predicted that the
"heavy season"-from September ia
March-would result in drastic cur
tailment Of service If nothing was
done to keep key workers on their
jobs.

Unsune Patriot ToiIed
Behind Scenes at Vichy,
Friends Here Relate

Death IN an alrplane crash OF an
unsung French patriot has brought
TO light by friends in Washington
the dramatic story OF how he worked
behind the scenes to aid the Allied
cause for more than two years. and
hnally lost his life on a mission to
help bring together the divergent
French factions opposing the Axis.
He was Col. Louis Baru, one of
those former Vichyites" whose CO.
| operation in North Africa has earned
the gratitude of high American and
British officials despite the protests
OF some critics against the Allies
working with any one tainted by
association with the Vichy regime.

But he made use of his inside"
station at Vichy to work with other
| French officers who remained on the
! ground In organizing escapes of
French war prisoners from Germany
in arranging the hiding of arms
| from the German armistice commits
sioner and in numerous other activi-
ties aiding resistance against Nazi
domination of France.
At the same time, he was a valu-
able source of information on Ger
man activities for our military at
tache at Vichy and was well known
as trustworthy friend to Admiral
William D. Leahy, our last Ambas-
sador at Vichy.
When German suspicious made it
too hot for Col. Baril at Vichy, he
was sent to North Africa as COM
mander of the Kolea garrison at
Sidi-Ferruch, west of Algiers. Per-
haps by more than coincidence,
Sidi-Ferruch was picked as the most
important landing point for Allied
troops in that area last November s.
Col. Peril knew about the Allied
landing in advance, and had
friendly reception prepared. Not A
shot was fired as the troops landed.
With great difficulty, he had OBJ
tanned IA trucks and had them wait
ing for a group of British COM
mandos, which, at his insistence,
moved on Immediately to take Blida
airport without a shot. Prompt con-
troll Of this airport was an important
military advantage to the occupa-
ton forces.
Ljaison Officers.
Soon Col Baril was assigned by
Gen. Henri Giraud as liaison officer
with the British 1st Army on the
Tunisian front, and he did more val
liable work there.
Early this month he was sent by
Gen. Giraud, with another officer, to
Cairo and Beirut to confer with
Gen. Georges Catroux, Near Eastern
commander of Gen. Charles de
Gaulle's. Fighting French forces, in
an effort to effect better oc-ordina-
