Few Skilled |nductee,
Utilized by Services,
Truman Group Finds
Amazing Examples Of
Failure to ReuIize on
Experience Are Cited
By JAMES Y. NEWTON.

In an investigation of man
power utilization by the armed
forces, the Truman War Investi-
eating Committee of the Senate
has found that only about 10
per cent of the most highly
skilled men inducted from war
industry are used in anything
approaching their full skills by
the services.
Amazing examples of the failure
Of the Army and Navy to use the
experience of highly trained men
were uncovered by the committee
An engineer who helped develop del
icate electronic equipment was
trained as a radio operator; chem
ical engineer engaged in research in
synthetic rubber was made a COM
pany clerk; a foreman of inspec-
tion in a large aircraft plant was
trained as ski trooper. These and
hundreds of other cases like them
of misftting by the services were
revealed.
Write Men Directly.
The committee set about making
the survey several months ago.
Chief Counsel Hugh Fulton wrote
100 of the most important war
plants, asking each firm to furnish
the names, exerience and impor-
tance to their company of the 10
most valuable men lost to the armed
services. Then, letters were dis
patched to the thousand men, in
quiring what each was doing and
whether they thought their pres
ent contribution was of more i'm
portance to the war effort than
their old job in war industry.
From the hundreds of letters re-
ceived by the committee it can be
said with accuracy that the skills of

18 Patients, S0thers

Missing Over Atlantic
Accident First Of Kind
In Transporting ESQ, 900
Army Sick, Wounded

A hospital plane winging its
way back from Great Britain
with 26 persons aboard, includ-
ing 18 stretcher cases, a nurse
and a five-man crew, has been
lost somewhere between Iceland
and Newfoundland, the War De-

The plane also carried two pas

1t was the first casualty of it's

ing that 250,000 sick and wounded

Army transport planes since the
United States entered the war.
The missing plane is one of the

Allied Raiders Killed

Worker Reports
Captured Nozis Assert
DesertFox'Wos Wounded
In Strofine Attack
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
CANISY, France. July 29,-Cap-
tured Germans told a senior Amer
lean staff officer today that Field
Marshal Erwin Rommel had been
wounded critically in an Allied air
straflng attack. and a French Red
Cross worker said they told her he
later had died.
The staff officer said captives told
him the German commander was
wounded near Lisieux, on the Brit
ish front, two weeks ago when AL
sled planes shot up his car and
wrecked it in a ditch. He said a
German captain told him Rommel
had been unconscious for six hours
and still was in critical condition
in a hospital.
The Red Cross worker, who was
with the Germans only day before
yesterday, said they told her Rom
mel was wounded in a bombing near
Falaise on the British front and
died later in hospital at Bernay
This woman, about 40 years old
and carrying credentials from the
Vichy war ministry for dealing with
French prisoners held by the Ger
mans, said the reports of Rommel's
death were widespread and accept
ed as fact by the German troops
many of whom were greatly grieved
Allied flyers repeatedly have re-
ported shooting up German staff
cars on the Normandy front, and
Rommel is widely known as a gen.
,eral who stays close to the front
lines.
If Rommel actually has been
killed or even seriously hurt, Adolf
Hitler has suffered a critical blow,
for Rommel is a field commander
of acknowledged brilliance and
loyalty to the Nazi regime and a
man whose feats as the Desert
Fox of North Africa have become
legends among the German soldiery.

LONDON. July 29.-The German
flying-bomb attacks on London and
southern England continued with
"saturation' tactics today and to-
night, the explosive robots coming
over like artillery salvos and pro-
voking q terrific fire from coastal
antiaircraft guns.
At times the sky over the Eng
lish Channel was dotted with the
speeding bombs. Coastal watchers
saw RAF fighters and ground guns
knock down a number of them.
While despairing rescuers still dug
for victims of Friday nights hos
pital bombing, other bombs tonight
caused new destruction and extern
sive casualties.
Londoners by the tens of thou
sands began their traditional August
bank holiday week early in a rec
ord-breaking wartime vacation exo-
dus to get out of the capital and
away from the bombs. Thousands
waited six abreast in mile long lines
at Railway stations to get tickets to

Third Reconversion
Order Of WPB Issued
Despite Opposition
Army. Navy Leoders
Continuing Fight on
Fourth and Most VitoI

The War Production Board
announced last night that the
third of four reconversion orders
that precipitated the recent
battle between WPB Chairman
Nelson and military leaders
one permitting manufacturers
to place orders for machine tools
and other factory equipment
needed in postwar operations
has been issued on schedule.
Meanwhile, it was learned that
Army and Navy officials are con-
tinuing their fight on the fourth and
most important order, one that
would empower WPB field offices to
authorize resumption of civilian
goods manufacture where materials,
facilities and manpower are avail
able. This order is scheduled to be-
come effective August Is.
Will Not Be Rated.
Issuance of the third order win
enable manufacturers to begin ac-
QUESTION of machine tools and IA
other types of plant equipment for
postwar civilian goods production.
The orders for plant equipment,
however, will not be rated. meaning
that any war or essential civilian
order having priority rating must
be filled first.
Orders for machine tools or other
postwar equipment must be filled
with WPB field offices, it was ex-
planned, where it will be screened to
determine whether it can be filled
from existing surplus war stocks
In this way officials hope to dispose
of a considerable portion of the
Government owned tools no longer
needed for war programs.
If the order cannot be filled from
surplus stocks it may. with WIPE
approval, be placed with a manu-.
facturer of the particular equipmen,
desired. Officials placed safeguards
in the new directive to protect wal
and essential production.
Factory equipment other thar
machine tools for which orders may
now be placed include: Precision
measuring instruments and testing
machines, foundry equipment anc

FIFTH ARMY ADVANCE
HEADQUARTERS IN ITALY,
July >29.-Two German mines,
stepped on by an American SOL
dier, exploded today within 800
yards of a table where King
George vi of England, 1t. Gen.
Mark w. Clark, 5th Army COM
mander: Archbishop Francis ].
Spellman of New York and Gen.
Sir Harold Alexander, supreme
commander in Italy were at
lunch.
Although the conclusion was felt
at the luncheon table, none of the
guests was hurt. The American SOL
dier who inadvertently exploded the
mines was killed.
The King had just completed an
inspection of an impressive display
of 5th Army strength when the ex-
plosion occurred.
A 5th Army spokesman said the
soldier had walked into an area
marked mines" west of Gen. Clark S
headquarters. He stepped on an
anti-personnel mine which was at
tached to an anti-tank mine.
Luncheon Continues.
The luncheon continued without
interruption, but Gen. Clark imme-
diately sent an aide to determine
the source of the explosion.
The King earlier was a spectator
at the most striking military display
he has seen during his six days in
Italy outside of actual battle.
He was driven from the airport
to 5th Army Headquarters, through
the ranks of RAF men lining both
sides of the road. Then the close
knit roadside screen was taken over
by battle-marked American combat
troops.
Then, on a nearby airfield, the
king was driven to the far end of
a line of American troops, nurses
and WACS, and all types of equip
ment, including long 155 millimeter
