Southeastern Railroads
Need7,00O WOrkersN0W

Southeastern railroads are in
need of more than 1000 employees
if they are to continue to handle
the ever-increasing volume of war
time traffic, George T. Musselman
of the District Office of Defense
Transportation announced Friday.
Critically needed employees in
clude more than 1000 men and
women needed to perform main
tenance of ways and structures;
300 needed for maintenance of
equipment and stores; and more
than 1900 needed for innumerable
other classifications of railway
work, according to the ODT.
Of the number. large percent
age need not require any special
skills and a considerable percent
age of the needed manpowe.' is
for light and heavy labor work,
soma of which can be handled by
women, ODT says.
although no serious tie-ups have
yet occurred in the transportation
of war materials or essential civil
liam goods" the ODT pointed out,
there has been considerable local
congestion at many points caused
by lack of manpower and unless
offset by remedial action, the con-
.gestion is bound to become seri-
GUS.

at transfer points throughout the
southeast has led to serious delays
in loading and unloading cars,
while shortages of operating per.
sonnet on many occasions have re-
suited in badly needed equipment
lying idle for lack of manpower
to maintain or operate it.
"The gnificient job that is
being DONG by the railroads-by
both men and managenent-has
won much public acclaim. 1t IS
we'll deserved acclaim for the rail.
roads are carrying a greater load
than ever before in their history
and doing it with limited equip
ment AND shrinking labor supply.
However, this record is beng
attained only at the cost of in
creasing strain upon our railroad
workers. Present manpower is be.
ing stretched very close to the limit
of its endurance Yet, the number
of railroad workers continues to
grow smaller owing to the other
wartime demands on manpower.
Railroad transportation is so vi
tai to the war effort that a short
age of railway workers is a prob
lem to be faced with alarm. There
are few occupations which have a
more direct connection with the
drive to victory than do those of
keeping essential traffic moving.

Citv's Forces Will Not
Be Affected By 48
Hour Work Week Rule

Enactment of the 48-hour work
week will have no effect on the
City of Wilmington labor force,
as the group is already on the
48-hour weekly schedule, CT t y
Manager A. C. Nichols observed
Friday morning.
Mr.. Nichols reported that the
longer work period had been in
effect for the worknen since July
1, or the beginning of the current
fiscal year.
It was pointed out that each of
the departments employing labor
crews, of necessity, operates on a
somewhat erratjc schedule, as the
men are subject to call at any
time when trouble with the city
facilities develops.
Policemen and fire1nen and men
at the pumping station do even
better than 48 hour weekly stints
they work seven days week.

That mysterious marauder who has been plaguing homes in Kodiak made some more rounds this week.
 Betmeen 7 and g Sunday evening while the John R. Ma lutin family was at the show he visited their home, stole 95 cents from a purse in raincoat pocket, took small bank with about $2 in it, tore the hands off a clock and ruined 9 pair of spectacIes by twisting them out Of shape
 He also made sure he'd be mentioned in the Mirror by visiting the home of the Mirror owners. There he rifled a purse but left, or overlooked a dollar bili in it, emptied a laundry bag of clothes on the floor, opened drawers and dumped the clothes in one on the floor.
 He entered by a locked door and left the door open on leav- ing. Nothing was missing.

BOB HOPES
PLANE DOWN,
AUSTRALIA
Performers Returning
from GuaddICanaI Not
Injured in Crash

SYDNEY, Australia, Aug. IA
Comedian Bob Hope and his troupe
of soldier entertainers escaped in
jury in a crash landing of a Cata-
lima flying boat near Laurieton,
New South Wales.
The Australian plane, also carry
ing Frances Langford, singer, devel-
oped engine trouble as it came in
from Guadalcanal and landed on a
sand spit near a fishing hamlet.
1t is the belief the plane will
take the party on to Sydney tomor-
row with one engine cut out.
Passengers jettisoned some bag
gage but the sacrifice was in vain
and the pilot decided to set the
plane just before dusk.
A launch took the party to Laur-
Teton and Hope walked to the towns
post office and announced to the
postmaster, "I am Bob Hope"
The postmaster had heard Hope
on the radio, however, but refused
to fall and Hope had to prove his
identity whereupon he was allowed
to use the telephone.
