Tokeep48-Hour
Week in Capital
Field Establishments,
However, to Cut to AZ
As Result Of Survey
BY JOSEPH YOUNG.

The War Department has decided
to keep its 81 900 civilian employees
here on a 48-hour week and reduce
to A hours, wherever possible, the
work week of Its employees in field
establishments throughout the rest
of the country, 1t was learned to-
day.
An increased work load for en-
ployes here as a result of greater
clerical work brought about by shift
ting of troops and supplies from Eu-
rope to the Pacific, was the major
factor in the decision to keep the 49,
hour week here.
The work week for all Federal
agencies, with the exception of War,
Navy and Treasury Departments
and the Veterans Administration
was reduced to A hours last month
by President Truman, who expressed
a desire that the exempted agencies
reduce their work week as soon
as possible.
Decided After Survey.
A survey by the War Department
showed that some of its field estab-
hshments could reduce the work
week without hurting the war effort.
Nearly third of the arsenals, ord
nance depots and air fields have
decided to reduce the work week
nf cov,,o ~ SIC oyS%plNyac
A considerable amount of money
will be saved by the move, since
95 per cent of the War Depart
ment's 1,176000 civilian workers are
employed outside of Washington.
Other field establishments are
expected to cut the work week to
A hours as the war tempo lessons.
1t is not expected that employees
here will go on a shorter work
week until the end of the war. Even
then, some branches of the War
Department will continue on a A.
hour week for a while, 1t was in
dicated.
One Office Reduces.
Only group of War Department
employees here to go on the 44-hour
week are workers in the District
branch of the United States Engi-
neers Office. They number about
500.
Meanwhile, the Treasury Depart
ment has started survey to deter
mine whether it can go on the A.
hour week. The Navy already has
decided against the shorter work
week at this time. The Veterans
Administration will continue on the
4S-hour week indefinitely because of
a serious shortage of personnel.

1t was all a surprise to Miss
Patricia Lane, 2140 N street NV,
but she's proud and happy about
it anyway. She received notice by
telegram today that she is the girl
for whom Pvt. Phil Whelan, Fort
Mcclellan, Ala, will name his feet
1t all started when Pvt. Whelan
contemplated with sour eye the
names applied by members of the
Air Forces to their planes. The ships
which carry the airmen are chris
tened for wives or sweethearts.
MY feet carry me in the in
fantry," he reasoned. why not
name them for a grip"
Letters flooded Pvt. Whelan from
girls in all parts of the country,
many of them bringing him pic
lures. Officers at Fort Mcclellan
became interested.
Without her knowledge friend
of Miss Lane sent her picture to
Pvt. Whelan. The answer came to-
day. 1t said:

District uses Places
40 Pei. Of Veterans
Seeking Jobs in July

The United States Employment
Services District office placed $50
returning veterans in jobs during
July, or 40 per cent OF the last
referrals made, Ernest v. Connolly
War Manpower Commission area
director, said today.
This was 10 fewer placements than
were made in May, the record
months for the District USES when
562 veterans, or 48 per cent Of the
1,172 referrals, were returned to
civilian jobs. Mr.. Connolly said.
Although there were more dis
charged veterans in the. District
last month than in May, Mr.. Con-
molly explained that ex-service men
and women, being free agents" and
not required to meet War Manpower
Commission restrictions, could find
jobs on their own.
MANY have returned to work
under guarantees of former en-
ployers, others have entered Gov
ernment service without referring
to the USES Offices and still others
are waiting until later to accept
jobs" he said.
There were 900 veteran regis
trants for jobs during July and $50
in May, but many of the referrals
were for veterans who had regis
tered previously.
OF the $50 placements in July,
523 were with District firms and the
remainder selected out-of town en-
ployment.
Veteran and civilian placements
in the Washington area, including
Alexandria and the counties Of
Fairfax and Arlington, Va, and
Prince Georges and Montgomery,
Md, reached 11,152 in July. In the
District, the total number of appli-
cants was 14,3o5 and the number of
placements 9,207.

SUPPOSE THE RED CROSS
 HAD NEVER BEEN CREATED

There would now be no Army of Mercy to save and comfort the mil lions of lives wrecked or dislocated all over the world-by earth s most destructive war.
 No millions of pints of blood would have been collected for life saving plasma.
 No millions of heartening, sus- taining food packages would be packed and delivered to Respondent Allied war prisoners.
 No emergency messages from loved ones would reach our worried lighters at the front.
 No giant hand of compassion would be forever outstretched to help the victims of pestilence, Hood, famine and hurricane.
 Only unthinkable chaos would be left in the wake of battle and ca- tastrophe-if the Red Cross hand of helpful mercy were withdrawn!
 It is up to you to giVe-in grati- tude that your Red Cross was ere ated-and grew to keep pace with the worlds anguished need.
 The need is stupendous-no mat ter what turn the war may take. So the job the Red Cross can do depends on your giving now-giv- ing more than ever before.
 Ernie Pyle, noted war correspOn- dent says,
 Everywhere I went there was the American Red Cross giving its services to our fighting men. It is something fine to behold, this touch of home which the men and women Red Cross workers bring to our troops abroad Our soldiers and sailors literally worship the Red Cross, and I personally can find nothing but praise to say about it's program as I saw it in action"
 General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower has this to say about the Red Cross, We simply couldn't get along without it. I consider the Red Cross an auxiliary of my army. They are doing a perfectly magni- ficent job in every way"
 Wrangell's quota in the Red Cross War Fund drive, which will be held throughout the month of March, is only 5000. Send in your contribution and Keep Your Red Cross At His Side.

the interest of the territory, that the trap if eliminated would re tard the progress and development of the territory.
 Mr. Arnold in my opinion has put the cart in front of the horse. It takes no amount of brains or thought to come to a conclusion that the trap method is the most unfair and destructive way known of catching fish. Not only is it un- fair to the seiner who is compelled to fish around the streams (and are classified as criminals if caught. saying nothing of the wholesale destruction of tons of small salmon fry which are matched in the spring of the year and are headed out to the ocean but never get there, simply because some hungry fish trap owner needs the big ones coming from the other way. Now that's just one instance. Of course we know the Bureau of Fisheries say otherwise, but then tbev of course have the brains, while the poor fishermen only have the thought and after all mans thought cannot be taken away from him. MT. Arnold talks about the S5O.00O boat that will ply up and down the coast in the near future, which he predicts will put the AL askan seiner out of business, as the local boats will not be able to com pete with the battleship type he has in mind. This indeed gives thought minded fishermen something to think about. Between the traps and the super seine boat, naturally the Alaskan who has his money invest ed here and who has helped to bnild up this country, had better take the gentleman's advice anu quit
 No. MT. Arnold, you may fool a few of the grey-bearded gentlemen now in session but we, the thought minded fishermen, know different. In the first place, under the pres ent law. a purse seine boat cannot operate in Alaska which is over 49
