ALPHABETICAL LINE

NORFOLK, Va. When triplets arrived at the Norfolk General Hos pital, the first set in 40 years, everybody got pretty excited. To avoid confusion, the nurses tagged the infants "A, "B" and "C."
 Pretty Mrs William Sawyer, their mother, liked the idea so well she decided to tag the little girls per- manently with the first three letters of the alphabet. She named them Anne, Barbara and Christine.

The governor reiterated that the

faction with tax on all savings

ommend a one per cent tax on

Capital, Labor Warned
By Pope 10 Put Needs
Of Community First

Ely the Associated Press.
ROME, Mar. 12.-Pope Plus XII
declared yesterday that the time
has arrived for capital and labor
to realize the needs of the commu-
nifty must be placed above their
own individual interests.
In an address delivered before
members of Catholic workers or
CARNATIONS, the pontiff appealed to
men everywhere to abandon empty
phrases" and to recognize "a higher
unity binding all who collaborate
in production.
Commenting on the possibility of
increased Specialization, the Pope de-
clared Specialization was justified
only when the common welfare re-
quired it to repair abuses or avoid
the waste of nations productive
resources.
The Pope appealed to all men to
recognize a higher unity" as bind
ing all who collaborate in produc-
ton.
That is to say their duty
to provide together, in stable fash
ion, for the common welfare and
needs Of the entire community" he
said.
Noting that workers syndicates
now are being formed in Italy, the
pontiff said their activities must be
confined to representing and de-
Tending labor in making contracts
He cautioned that if they go beyond
that function and assume =" the
right of disposing freely of labor
u as occurs elsewhere" the
conception Of the syndicate would
be altered or destroyed.

By JAMES Y. NEWTON.

The soft coal contract conference

the operators request for breath

and that the joint conference will

Meanwhile Representative Smith,

the contract conference opened,
asked for a strike vote on grounds

Hitler Holds Out Hope
Allies Will Get Tired
And Yet Be Broken
BY the Associated Press

by the Associated Press.
LONDON. Mar. 12.-Adolf Hitler.
IN a proclamation marking the 10th
anniversary of Nazi military con-
scription, yesterday offered the
German people no more than the
forlorn hope that the Allies will get
tired and yet be broken"
He renewed the Nazi plea of
"fanatical resistance" bolstering
his appeal with the assertion that
the Allies, drunk by their orgy of
victory were intent on "extermi-
nation of the German nation"
The proclamation, broadcast from
Berlin, said the year 1918 will not
be repeated" implying that Ger
many would fight on in guerrilla
warfare if her armies were smashed.
Calls for Steadfastness.
Hitler declared that even if fate
has turned against us, there can
be no doubt that these reverSes can
be overcome, as SO often before,
with Steadfastness and courage, with
endurance and fanaticism"
He asserted there can be but one
command:
ITO defy all dangers with iron
determination and to do everything
to bring about turn for the better
and for this purpose to strengthen
the power of resistance of our nation
and its armed forces both ma
terially and spiritually.
Need for Fanaticism.
Just as great must be our fanati-
clsm in the destruction of those
who are trying to resist our aims.

Detroit Union Leader
Sees More Jail Than
Work in Pending Bill
By the Associated Press.

DETROIT, Mar 2.-Testifying
before the Senate subcommittee in
vestigating war production, Frank
K. Martel, president of the Detroit
and Wayne County Federation of
Labor, asserted today that the
pending work-or-f fight bill probably
would result in more men in Jail
and fewer men in the factories"
Mr.. Martel said I'VE are suspicious
that the proponents of the bill have
not told the people its real purpose. "
He said he did not believe local
draft board and a mans employer
should determine whether he should
be Jumped into the armed services"
There should be, he said, some
overall authority" to determine
whether man temporarily unneed-
ed might not, in couple of months,
be urgently required in some other
work in his area.
Blames VINO Officials.
He said there might be some
shortage of labor in the Detroit
area, but asserted it was largely the
fault of War Manpower Commits
sion officials in not making full use
of women workers.
George T. Christopher, president
of the Packard Motor Car Co., told
the committee part of his company's
contracts were on a cost-plus fixed
fee basis, especially on aircraft-en-
CINE work.
Under that arrangement the
Government pays the entire cost
including wages of workers." he
was asked by Senator Ferguson, Re-
publican, of Michigan.
Yes" he replied.
Nobody for the Government
checks whether a man actually
works his full time?"
Mr.. Christopher replied the checks
were made by the Government after
the work was done, although there
were some floor checkers represent
ing the Air Forces. He added, how
ever, there were not enough of
these checkers to determine whether
time actually was worked.
1t was in the Packard plant that
Senator Ferguson said he saw
man asleep on an assembly line and
numerous others playing checkers
before quitting time.
Last Hour Wasted.
M. M. Macauley, Packard plant
control manager, said the plants
present efficiency was 70 to 70 per
cent. He said the last hour of both
f0-hour shifts is practically wasted.
Col. Raymond C. Anthony, Army
Air Forces representative at the
Packard plant, said a survey by AAF
auditors showed there was an aver
age of II to 10 per cent of idleness
in the aircraft engine division. He
said this included what he termed
both voluntary and involuntary
idleness. He said the function of
his inspectors in the plant was
mainly to determine that articles
were correctly made.

Would Restudy Financing.
Miss James said: 1T may be
there should be a larger Federal
contribution than there is now to
the administrative expenses for the
parks, including park police. That
problem should be restudied. But
we believe that the transfer of park
police to the Metropolitan police
would be a step backward and one
which would entail additional ex-
pense and probable deterioration, if
not positive damage, to park prop
critics."
