Army Holds 'Gripe Sessions
At Separation Centers

Teams of high-ranking officers
with combat records have been
travelling from one separation CEN
ter to another to hold 'gripe ses-
sions" and find out from the men
whether they are satisfied with the
way their rehabilitation is going, 1t
was learned last night.
A "gripe session" held recently
in California camp was the COM
manding officers idea. but similar
sessions are now being held all over
the country under orders from Gen.
George C. Marshall.
Brig. Gen. B. F. Caffey, who heads
the special board created to ride
herd" on the separation centers, re-
ported last night that he has visited
all but two of the centers.
He said he has talked to thous-
/ ands of soldiers and WACs, going up
and down the processing lines. Five
out of six of them, he reported, like
the idea of personal interviews with
counsellors.
Each complaint uncovered by the
teams of officers is investigated but
only one In 20 has any validity, he
1 reported.
I'VE tell them we don't want to
know their names. We just want to
know what's good and what's bad
about the centers."
Gen. Caffey said he expected the
backlog of men waiting for release
to be cleared up by November 15
Fort Dix, N. j., largest center in the
country, now is current, Gen. Caffey
reported, and is releasing 1000 men

| Fort Meade Pleads
For Civilian Workers
To Speed Discharges
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
FORT MEADE, Md, Oct. 20
Anxious to speed Army discharges
Fort Meade has launched civilian
worker recruiting program reminis-
cent of wartime labor shortage days.
Unemployed Maryland clerical and
other white-collar workers were
urged by Brig. Gen. Charles G. Hell
mick, commanding officer, to man
the pipelines of separation" and Ali
jobs vital in sending veterans home
to their families and jobs.
The post appealed for 1,500 work
ers for civil service positions, includ-
ing 300 clerk-typists, 40 clerk ste
nographers, l79 clerks and such
other workers as:
Truck drivers, automobile mechan-
les, butchers, boiler firemen, jani-
tors, cooks, bakers, helpers, ware
house laborers, seamstresses, salvage
material helpers, laundry workers,
textile sorters and meat cutters, to
mention a few.
To recruit the workers, James Sal
yers, Fort Meade civilian personnel
oficer, said three teams of civil serv-
ice specialists will soon tour Mary
land seeking prospects among high
school and business college grad
yates, while other campaigns will be
carried on in Baltimore and else
where through radio, window dis
play, sound truck, motion picture
and club appeals.
In addition to the patriotic motive
Of helping soldiers get out and get

WASHINGTON - Approx
mately 100000 persons will be
unemployed in the United States
this summer while industry is
parti- y reconverting to civilian
production. This is the estimate
of government and business,
while labor organizations fear
that more than that number will
be out of jobs.
" reconversion is accomplish
ed as speedily as planned by the
War Production Board, how
ever, officials hope it will drop
to 100000 or less before the
end of the year. According to
War Manpo wer Commission
there are now 100000 persons
unemployed.
Not counted in this estimate
are the thousands Of men in the
service who will soon be re-
leased.
Unemployment is expected to
start in aircraft, tank and truck,
munitions and ship building in
dustries first, where army and
navy cutbacks are occurring
Layoffs will necessarily follow
where sub-contract work is be-
ing done for those industries.
VINO, WPB and Army and
Navy procurement officials will
handle the reconversion JOB
with an eye to keeping unem-
ployment at a minimum. Wher-
ever possible contracts will be
terminated in areas where the
manpower situation is tight
rather than where considerable
unemployment already exists.
Areas which have high con-
centration of one product will
be hardest hit.
WPB will keep close watch

on areas where excess man.
power becomes available and
will give industries in those
are is first priority on equip
ment and materials not needed
for war production. There will
be some expansion in new war
industries. These will be placed
in areas where labo- is more
plentiful. An example is the
manufacture of rockets which
will be greatly increased for
use against the Japs.
AID WORKERS
Unemployed persons W n o
moved from another city or Sec
ton of the country to take jobs
in war plants will be encouraged
to 60 home. 1t is hoped that if
the millions who flocked to war
production centers 60 back
home they can find plenty of
Jobs waiting for them in plants
opening up for civilian produc-
ton and in numerous other &C.
equations left vacant by the exo-
dus.
For those who don't want to
go home and are still willing to
follow the lure of war plant
wages VINO will provide the
opportunity to move to the areas
which still need workers.
Organized labor is not as op-
til istic about the reconversion
unemployment situation as are
the Government agencies. Skep-
teal as TO whether the Govern
ment can handle it as deftly as
it plans, Clio and AFL are at
ticking it from a different angle.
They are planning to ask Con-
gress TO provide increased and
uniform unemployment COM
pensation for war workers, and
travel home pay.
President Truman as Sena-
tor heartily endorsed IN e
emergency reconversion meas
ures when they came up and
were defeated last year. Both
ALL and CLIO are reminding
him of that stand and asking
that he send a liberal reconver-
sion bill to Congress now.
SENIORITY is PROBLEM
Union groups won their fight
10 have employment controls
released, and it is known that
the emergency work-week will
be dropped. I'VE plan to with
draw the minimum wartime
work week order area by area
as local conditions dictate" Nc
Mutt said.
One of the biggest worries OF
thousands of men i'm uniform
during the reconversion period
will bring the disputed seniority
question TO a head prematurely.
II the veterans are not able to
get Jobs Immediately they fear
many Of their members will be
ousted from jobs and thereby
set a precedent. They want
more time TO work out the prob
lem with Selective Service and
veterans organizations.
Always in the background is
the possibility that Japan will
quit anytime. However desir-
able that is, il would double the
reconversion problems.

Sometimes we get little
weary listening to the walls of
people in Hollywood about be-
ing typed. In fact, those lah-
de-dah glamor girls who gush
about playing Camille and
those nervous comics who but
tonhole you on the sidewalk to
tell you about a test they made
as bloody Jack the Ripper give
us pain in the neck.
Why can't they be happy
with their thousand dollars and
up week and leave us alone?
II there were no movies, they
probably would be repairing
loose manhole covers.
The other day we were talk
ing to Laird Cregar, who has
become typed with homicidal
maniac roles. He was moaning:
Il hate Hollywood. I'm typed
in morbid, morose roles. I'm
unhappy. ! want to be funny
and they cast me as killer. l
never want TO see Hollywood
again when l complete my con-
tract"
Laird is very fine actor and
would never have to repair
loose manhole covers. In his
case, we don't blame him for
being bitter. He deserves better
things. But he isn't alone. The
complaint is universal Dancers
want to act, dramatic stars want
TO sing, glamor girls want to
play old hays and villains want
to be romantics.
THIS GUYS DIFFERENT
Same day we talked to Cregar
we had lunch with Arthur Lake.
Discovering Arthur in this CLAM
orous pool of tears they call
Hollywood is refreshing.
For 20 years Arthur has been
typed as the No. ] celluloid
dope. And he's happy about it.

he says, Il don't work. My agent
talked me into playing a straight
character once. l played no.
account brother. / guess you
could call me the villain. 1t
was awful. l went back TO my
agent and said, 'Please-from
now on l want TO be dope. "
Arthur Lake--who is 38 but
looks 22-started playing char
acters short on brain cells in the
sweet Is" comedies back in
1924. When the film cycle
changed he was out Of work. The
Harold Teen" comedies revived
his career a few years later. He
was out of work again when they
were discontinued. Then along
came Dagwood and Arthur Lake
was in again.
The only time I eat regular
ly is when I'm playing dopes,"
Arthur says. $50 why should
yell about being typed. I'm
grateful to Hollywood. Where
