Campaign 10 Obtain
10000 War Workers
Monthly Launched
Special Recruiters Used
In Drive Covering
District, Four Stotes

A 30-piece Army band and specia
manpower recruiters who have beer
asked to "buttonhole prospective
war workers on the streets, in stores
pool halls and wherever people con.
gregate," are being employed to re.
cruit a monthly minimum of 90, ,00(
workers for essential war activities
the War Manpower Commission
disclosed today.
OF the 10000 workers required in
Maryland, Virginia. West Virginia
North Carolina and the District
slightly more than 5000 each month
will be referred to must" wal
plans in other shortage areas, OIL
cials said. Another 5000 are needed
for must" plants within the region
while the balance will be referred to
other essential and locally needed
activities.
Henry e. Treide. regional director
OF the VINO, said the recruitment
and placement of workers in highly
essential plants would be given first
priority over all other manpower
activities until Germany is crushed. -
"All possible recruitment tech.
niques, including the use of an Armv
band of 80 pieces. will be employed
In the drive to staff and keep stated
war plants in this region which are
engaged in must production, and
to meet inter-regional quotas estab-
lished by national VINO headouar-
ters," Mr.. Treide stated following
a meeting Of manpower directors OF
the four States and the District.
Mr.. Treide said the successful ad-
vances OF our forces in France "haye
been taken by too many workers not
as signal to pitch in and. work
harder. but as a signal to drop their
tools and return to their home towns
In search of peacetime employment. !"
He estimated that 5000 persons
are needed in ordnance plants at
Radford and Dublin, Va. In this
connection, a special Army fire
power caravan" will be used to re-
cruit workers and to persuade others
to remain on the job. The caravan
Will consist of an Army band. artil-
lery pieces and other fighting equip
ment.
Men and women engaged in war
work In Baltimore, he reported, are
leaving their jobs at the rate OF
5000 month.
The region has made an outstand.
ing performance in recruitment dur
ing the past three weeks, Mr.. Treide
said. but the need is still great.
