Ack-Ack Does Big Job

NORMANDY = (By Wireless -
One of the most vital responsible
ties during these opening weeks of
our war on the continent of Europe
has been the protection of our un-
loading beaches and ports.
For over and through them must
pass, with interruption, and in
great masses, our buil6-up of men
and material in sufficient masses
to roll the Germans clear back out
of France.
Nothing must be allowed to inter-
fere with that unloading. Every
thing we can lay our hands ON is
thrown into the guarding of those
beaches and ports. Allied ground
troops police them from the land
sice. Our two navies protect them
from sneak attacks by sea. Our
great air supremacy lakes daytime
air assaults rare and costly.
1t is only at night that the Ger
mans have a chance. They do keep
pecking away at us with night
bombers, but their main success in
this so far has been in keeping us
awake and making us dig our fox
holes deeper.
ACK-ACK ON JOB
The job of protecting the beach
es at night has been given over to
the anti-aircraft artillery, or ack-
ack. I read recently that we have
here on the beachhead the great

guns ever assembled in an equival-

that war workers must stay on their

Actually, however, its authority will

VARYING CONDITIONS
Because of the varying nature of
manpoWer problems from area to

cept in general terms how the pro-
gram will work. In some areas where
labor is particularly tight, local
manpoWer committees might give

have established some kind of con-
troll over hiring of women.
In looser situations private EN-
ploynent agencies; union hiring
halls, college and vocational school
placement bureaus and individuals
may be permitted to handle hiring.
Some areas may offer workers a
wider choice of jobs than others
some may allow. unlimited hiring of
