VINO Appears Ready
To Scrap Labor Draft
Plan for Tire Plants
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The War ManpoWer Commission
appeared ready today to discard its
Iso-called labor draft plant initiated
at New Bedford, Mass, for return
to voluntary recruiting methods.
VINO Chairman McNutt has a
set of recommendations which were
drawn up last night by the agency's
National Labor Management Policy
Committee after heated eight-hour
conference with the committee's New
Bedford counterpart.
The alternative plan was mapped
following unanimous denunciation
by the New Bedford group of WINGS
attempt to force" a considerable
number of textile workers into high
priority war work at the Fisk and
Firestone tire cord plants in that
city.
Last Resort" Measure.
The forced release program is a
last resort" measure adopted by
VINO to channel workers in less
essential firms to war production
eSSSAiiPi1oAICa Ny 1O"Cl hl6 Cl1lpAOS-
ment ceilings of such firms.
The program, in effect in slightly
modified form in other areas, met
with strong opposition on the part
of New Bedford civic and union
leaders from the time it was ordered
into effect last month.
The National Labor Management
Committee announced it has reached
a very wholesome" decision on an
alternative plan and said its deci-
sion will be announced today as soon
as Mr.. McNutt clears it.
An indication the committee has
acceded to the New Bedford de-
mands for easing of the labor diver
sion program came in this assertion
by Joyce O'Hara, United States
Chamber of Commerce representa-
tive on the National Committee:
The cooperative ideal is the one
way to solve the New Bedford and
other manpower problems. If full
use is made of volunteer methods,
then the compulsory methods will
no longer be needed"
OHara Hopeful of Plan.
Mr.. O'Hara told a news confer
ence he thinks the decision will be
acceptable to the New Bedford dele
cation, land we hope it will be ac-
ceptable to the VINO people"
The alternative plan adopted may
be one proposed by Fred Steele,
secretary of the New Bed

78-hour patrol in obtaining in
formation literally from under the
Germans noses and his silent
task force" included Corpl. Richard
B. Jones of Washington, D. c., o.
year-old son of Alexander F. Jones,
managing editor of the Washington
Post, and Pfc. Russell J. Kubiak of
Milwaukee.
Awarded Silver Stars.
Hiding in the woods by day-but
still keeping their eyes open-and
moving at night, the trio covered
much of the terrain shortly before
the division attacked Thursday.
When they returned to their own
lines they barely had time to shave
before the divisional commander,
Maj. Gen. Harry j. Collins awarded
each Silver Star for gallantry in
action.
Lying at times almost within arms
reach of German soldiers. the bold
scouts gained mass of information
about the enemy's positions, loca-
tions of minefelds so the Rainbow
Division Doughboys were able to
smash the first and avoid the sec
ond when the attack started.
The patrol, which Gen. Collins
described as "the most effective this
division ever had" began on the
232d Infantry Regiment front at
7:30 pm, March g. and was to have
been for 48 hours but was prolonged
80 hours longer.
Caught in Own Fire.
In addition to gaining information
on the enemy, the scouts carefully
noted the effect of our artillery
when they were caught by a storm
of shells in the spruce woods. In
their report they suggested our
gunners were using the wrong kind
of fuse for the most effective fire.
adding that another type of fuse
would have resulted in members of
the patrol being wounded if not
killed"
Once they were caught in between
party of the enemy on the ridge
ahead of them and shellfire from
their own guns. Another time they
were between two German machine
gun posts, so close that they could
hear the bolts of both weapons.
Once they picked their way right
through a German bivouac area.
Searching late one afternoon for
a place to spend the night, Corpl..
Jones reported they ran across,
what looked like a German grave,
which turned out to be a fellow
sleeping in his sack with his helmet
hanging on stick"
The patrol figured it would not
be wise to move around while the
enemy was sleeping, so they lay
quiet and let the German move
away when he awakened.
Closest Call Near Own Lines.
They got very little sleep and had
to live on chocolate bars, but never
were seen by the enemy and didn't
have to fire shot.
Their closest call came when re-
turning to their own lines at 1::30
am March 13. A nervous CT tossed
q hand grenade at them.
All three volunteered for the dam
gerous job, part of their task in
the intelligence and reconnaissance
platoon. None except Sergt Wof-
fard had any extensive knowledge
of woodcraft, but the Arkansan,
30year-old graduate of the Univer-
sity of Arkansas, had enough for all.
Corpl. Jones was a sophomore at
Dartmouth when he entered the
Army in 1912 He won the Bronze
Star last January at KilStett for
rushing two antitank guns into
position under heavy fire from small
arms, mortars and 88s. That medal
arrived the same day the general
pinned Silver Star on him.

Farm Employment

mates Of the Bureau OF Agricul-i

farms of the nation were operated
with a total farm employment 5 per

This means, therefore, that the total

Filling the Jars.

To iii IHe Jars quickly, Since speed
is important to prevent bacteria
from developing, lay the jars or a
large utility pan, and place it right
next to the kettle in which vegeta-
bles have been cooked. Ladle in
vegetables as quickly as possible. In
most cases. add liquid to within one-
half inch of the top. For starchy
vegetables like corn and peas, leave
one inch space at top. Adjust the
cover according to manufacturers
directions.
