S0RRELL, HEARN

CAMP DAVIS, June 3o.-A large
Antiaircraft soldier following is ex'
pected to flock to Legion Stadium
Saturday night when the Blue Brl'
gade takes a third crack at unde'

What makes the contest doubly
attractive is the anticipated hurl

new faces appear in the Brigade

handled IA chances without a slip

Joe Lacorte, returned to second

posed to the Marines. At the far
turn Joe Messing has recaptured
the job, momentarily at least. His

He urged both employers and workers to give their full cooperation to the War Manpower Commission in carrying out the must" r1anpower program.
 The employer has the right to appeal any employment ceiling or nianpoWer priority determination of the WING area director, in accord. ance with established WING regu. latLons, MT. Fitzgerald pointed out He emphasized that such deternlin. ations will remain in effect how. ever, until a final decision is made on the appeal.
 Emphasis is placed on the fact that the Jurisdiction of WING Alp. peals Board is limited to WING de. cisIons and does not include ques- tions such as the relative urgency of a plants product or service, and a plants production schedules and other steps. The field instruction adds however, that where questions of labor utilization, labor supply, or observance of WING policies and standards are involved in employ ment ceiling and inanpower priority determinations, the Appeals Boards are importantly concerned.
