VINO Used Virtual kidnapping And Labor
PIRACY To Get Workers For Atomic Bomb

Washington-When it came To
getting the highly skilled crafts
men for the atomic bomb prof.
ect, the War Manpe~eF Commits
sion had to stoop to virtual ~
ercion, kidnapping and labor pr
raey-the very Things ii was
fighting so hard to keep out OF
war industry.
It was legalized, Of course-by
an overall executive order from
President Roosevelt that gave
atomic bomb production the
highest labor priorities in the
land. That didn't always make
it easy.
Give me an order for 10000
urskilled laborers any day rath-
err than order for one man of the
highest skills," said one VINO
official.
Had To BE Citizens
In the first place, the top skill
ed men we're those who might
get a peep into Uncle Sans top
most-drawer war secret. Not
only did they have to be citizens,
but their parents and g%randpar-
ents had to be citizens. If they
had been abroad any time in re-
cent years before the war they
were automatically barred. Being
ace men in their professions, they
were normally high : salaried,
steady, conservative and general
ly disinelincd to fall for offers
TO go to work in the blind alley
which the production of some
fantastic weapon OF tomorrow
might be.
Once convinced and cleared by
the FBI. they had to be yanked
from under the watehful eyes of
their employees without ever tell
ing the latter what the Army
was making that was more inn
portant than their vital parts for
planes, ships, guns and bombs.
This situation came to a climax
cnce when an irate Navy captain
in charge Of ship repairs at the
Mare Island Navy Yard in San
Francisco Bay came storming in
to Washington. H wanted to
know just what the hell was 60
ing on. VINO, he roared, had
pirated Is of his best electri-
clans.
Captain Apologies
Later in the day, hoarse but
chastened, he called the VINO
official on whom he had visited
most of his wrath. He was talk
ing from the office of one of the
brassiest Navy hats in Washing
ton. He apologized. If he had
something that took priority
over putting ships back into the
battle of the Pacific, it must be
the biggest thing in military his
tory, he said.
The same thing happened at
the Rock Island 1ll) arsenal.
The commanding officer had to
be told off throug orders from
Gen. Marshall himself before he
would quit fighting the pirating,

Joyce Stems Hot Attack.
Hard-hitting Ike came out furi-

and in the second f1oored him twice
with terrific rights for counts of

battle in the last three.
The Trenton slugger, who weighed
in at 1891, had something more at
stake than the Zurita bout. He
paid off an irksome debt incurred
in November when his Los Angeles
opponent broke his run of 15-
straight by taking 10-round de-
cision in their first meeting.
Decision Is Unanimous.
And he paid off in whistling
blows which overpowered Joyce's

his two and one-half pound weight
advantage of little use.
The decision was unanimous

rounds, Joyce three and called two
