Bigger Orders Due
For Plants Here It
nv srLER FREEMAN

A substantial increase is due
In Detroit's war orders in the
not too distant future. The or
ders are waiting but for one
thing-settlement Of a slightly
muddled manpower situation
here.
Detroit is still listed in the
highly critical msnpower cate
CORY. AS a matter of actual
fact. it hasn't belonged in that
classification for some time.
Were II not for the draft situ%
tion right now, IT would have
been changed Ia the No. 2 list.
Edward L. Cushman only last
week stated frankly that there
were only 2,9i0 job priorities in
this area. He emphasized that
while the critical shortages are
small. they are important.
There is no argument with
this. But the question is: Should
a small but critical manpower
shortage keep contracts away
from plants which could use
them?

Inducements ForVeterons To ReenIiSt

It Col Walter G. Cowles, in charge of the Army's new recruiting program at the Field street Armory, announced today the qualifications for reenlistment of veterans.
 Col. Cowles pointed out that in order to qualify for reenlistment bonuses and furloughs, the veteran who has been discharged previous to May 12, this year, must sign up before Nov 21. Those who receive discharges after Nov. 21 should sign up for reenlistment within 20 days following their discharge, he stated.
