Work Bill Conferees
To Meet Tomorrow;
Early Action Doubtful.
BY j. A. O'LEARY.

The outlook for early agreement
on a manpower bill appeared dim
last night as House and Senate
conferees prepared to meet for the
first time tomorrow on the divergent
plans adopted by the two branches.
One well-informed source at the
Capitol predicted privately that at
least a temporary unemployment
problem, instead of a manpower
shortage, would develop after Ger
many is defeated, and indicated
this possibility will tend to dis
courage the conferees from reach
ing a prompt settlement on the
manpower bill.
He based this prediction on a be-
lief that cutbacks will occur on war
contracts after We day to a greater
extent than jobs will be available
IN peacetime production.
Thomas Sees Roosevelt.
While this viewpoint is not shared
by those who favor speedy enact
ment of job control law, the differ
ence of opinion on the question is
expected to react against an agree
ment
The advocates of prompt action on
the bill believe that more effective
controls will be needed after We
day than now, to insure sufficient
manpower in the plants that will
be producing the equipment needed
to carry on the war against Japan.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of
Utah, who heads the Senate con-
ferees, visited President Roosevelt
yesterday, but told reporters on his
return to the Capitol that his visit
did not relate to the manpower
problem.
Extent Of Compulsion Is Issue.
The basic issue facing the con-
ferees is to what extent compulSion
should be applied. The House bill
would authorize draft boards to re-
quire men 18 to As to go to or re-
main in essential war jobs, subject
to penalties up to $4,000 or five
years.
The Senate bill seeks to regulate
ttlt lFOW VI WOI hcI .. lIiCli VI WolllCii,
from nonessential to war work by
applying War Manpower Commits
sion labor ceilings, and then penaliz-
my any employer who hires workers
In violation of regulations. En-
ployers could be penalized up to
$4,000 or one year imprisonment.
If the conferees fail to work out
a compromise one group could yield
to the other, or both could go back
to the House and Senate for fur
ther instructions. That would clear
the way for another test vote in
each body.
Senator Chandler, Democrat, of
Kentucky, who does not believe any
legislation is needed, predicted yes
terday the Senate would not ac-
cept the House bill.

The baroness was lady of the
castle after the last war when it
was headquarters of the Rainbow
Division during American occupa-
ton of the Rhineland
Stamping disgustedly on the

Hohenzollern Stronghold.
A few miles down the river the
I'd Division troops had just cap
tured another greater castle-Fla-
SELF, reputed locally to have been
Gen. Pershing's headquarters after
the World War.
When I arrived I found it was
the last stronghold of the Hohen-
zollerns-cousins of the late Kaiser.
Guided by Sergt. J. T. Minor,
former Washington linotype oper-
ator, I met my first princess. She
was the wife of Prince Albrecht
Hohenzollern, now prisoner of
war in Romania.
The young woman was indis-
tinguishable from other fraus of the
countryside. She was nursing sick
boy on bed in the courtyard. He
was one of her farmhands and he
had heart trouble, she said. Her
own children, who might have been
heirs to half the thrones in Europe,
were playing around the yard.
The princess explained that her
husband belonged to the Catholic
branch of the Hohenzollerns-n
on very good terms with the Prot
estant branch headed by the for
mer Kaiser. The Catholic branch,
she said, was in the royal line Of
Bavaria and Romania. She herself
is a scion of the Belgian royal fam
lily.
Husband a Prisoner.
I was shown through the ancient
castles museum There was armor
the Hohenzollerns had worn in the
Crusades. King Ludwig of Bavaria
was among the portraits, and there
was another of very handsome
young man whom recognized from
old stamps in my album as the first
King Leopold of Belgium, great
grandfather of the present King.
Her husband is major, the prin-
cess said. AS a prisoner of war in
Romania, she said, he refused spe-
cial courtesies offered because of his
royal connections and elected to re-
main with his soldiers
The demure young princess was
striking contrast to the militantly
Junkers baroness.
We were taken by the princess
into the castle and met the chap
lain, man with shaking hands due
to his experiences as a soldier in
the last war. He spent the afternoon
telling of the ancient glories of the
place. 1t was once a Celtic tenn
pie, later a Roman citadel, then the
seat of the Crusader Knight Prince
Gerhardt Won Hussman, who built
the castles chapel as a votive offer
ing.
The princess and the baroness
were alike in one thing. Both love
