New Hiring Controls
Starting Today Fail
10 Cause Furry
Employers Are Urged
To File Applications
For Priorities at Once

Hiring controls designed to assure
Washington's most important estab-
lishments the help they need from
the dwindling labor supply went into
effect here today simultaneously
with similar controls throughout the
Nation.
Ernest v. Connolly, acting Wash
ington area war manpower director
said he expected no sudden load to
drop on the United States Employ
ment Service, nerve center of the
new program, because Saturday is
always a light day and the immi-
nence of the July holiday Is also
expected to keep requests light un-
til the middle Of next week.
Prompt Action Urged.
At the same time, he urged en-
ployers to get their orders for ad-
ditional help into the USES as soon
As possible so they can begin to
draw on the supply Of workers to
be channeled through the USES.
Mr.. Connolly pointed out that en-
ployers who are under their en-
ployment ceiling can put In orders
for workers without filing the spe-
cial form necessary to get high
priority for workers or an adjust
ment in the employment ceiling.
The area director also assured
tob-seekers that they will be proc
essed" for referral to jobs in to 8
minutes with both USES offices
ready to take on the additional load
5000 Orders on File.
Mr. Connolly reported that 5000
orders, with more than that number
of job openings, are now on file at
the USES, waiting to be filled under
the new priority preferral system.
USES workers. he said. have been
busy for days calling each employer
with a job order on file to see If
the jobs are still open and to get
the employers employment ceilings
80 that workers will not be sent to
establishments which have more
than the number of workers per-
mitted them under the program,
Employment ceilings are based on
the highest level of employment in
an individual firm between May IS
and June /, 1943.
Although the Manpower Priorities
Committee. which determines the
establishments to rate first call for
workers, met yesterday, 1t did not
act on any priority requests, Mr..
Connolly disclosed.
Few.Applications Here.
He explained that SO few applica-
tions for high priority had been
filed that the committee preferred
to wait until next week when it will
have more applications to compare
It's meeting is scheduled for next
Friday.
Until the Priorities Committee
starts acting on the applications,
all essential and locally needed es-
tablishments automatically will be
considered In Group S of the six
priority groups and less essential
establishments will be in Group 6.
Gradually, on the basis of the Pri-
critics Committees decisions, estab-
lishments which have fallen behind
In urgently needed production or
service schedules because of man.
power shortages may be given a pri-
ority over other establishments in
getting workers.

R Draftees Leave
As New Regulation
Becomes Effective
Service Preference Given
At Time Of Induction
Instead Of at Exon

For the drSt time since February,
District men reported for induction
today without knowing whether
they would be in the Army or the
Navy by nightfall.
Under the new induction system
which went into effect today as 46
District men reported to Fort Myer
for induction, men will be selected
for service in the Army or Navy at
the time they are ordered for induc-
ton rather than at the time of their
preinduction physical examination.
Preference Not Asked.
Although the preinduction exami-
nation system has been in effect
only since February, for ever a year
men have known well in advance
whether they were going to Army
camps or naval stations, because
they were given a one-to-three-w week
furlough after induction.
Men reporting 1or their preinduc-
ton examination at Fort Myer to-
day were not asked to express their
preference for a branch of service.
That is now done when the men
report for induction.
There will be no inductions or
preinduction physical examinations
next Monday and Tuesday and on
the remaining Saturdays in July.

slated to 60 Immediately to camp

Georgetown Hospital
Male Volunteer Aides
Are Too Busy 10 Talk
Nurses and Patients
Pruise Work of
First 36 Enlisted

The newly inaugurated male VOL
unteer hospital aides at Georgetown
University Hospital are tco publicity
shy and too conscientious about
their work to take much time out in
talking about it.
But here's their story, picked up
from the nurses, the patients and
from three of the volunteers them
selves when they could be stopped
a few minutes last night as they
hustled through the hospital cor
riders.
The 36 aides already enlisted at
Georgetown-the first local hospital
to adopt this service to help meet
the manpower shortage-include an
investment banker, two insurance
men, hospital supply house repre-
sentative, a Swedish masseur and a
number Of men from various Gov
ernment agencies
Nothing Dramatic"
"Our first job when we come on
at night usually is to see that the
patients have plenty of ice," said
one of the aides who puts in a long
day arranging shipments of lease
lend petroleum products before he
goes on duty. Prom then on, were
at the beck and call of the nurses.
There's nothing dramatic about
any of it," he added. But when
there are just a few of us here at
a time you can see the need"
A member of the nursing staff
added to the story:
I've seen them mop fioors," she
said. Some have learned to help
straighten the beds. They bring up
ice from the basement for all the
floors-a tremendous help. They
clean the hypodermic trays. When
visitors bring in ice cream for the
patients, they get dishes to serve
them. And, of course, they do all
sorts OF personal things for the men.
Conscientious Workers.
They are very conscientious" she
emphasized. They never linger to
chat as they ask questions. Once
they get their answer, away
they go
The men in the wards beamed at
the innovation. I'VE like them"
patient commented. They are so
accommodating. The other night
one went out and got cigarettes and
Ice cream for several of u.s."
A young man who expects to leave
the hospital in about week is so
impressed by their work he plans to
enroll as an aide as soon as he's on
his feet again.
