teered and reported to Fort Meade
November 81. He was given Army
serial No. 3300OO13 and assigned to
the ID Chemical Warfare Battalion
A year later he came home, pre-
sumably to readjust himself to
normal life.
Two short weeks of this-then
Pearl Harbor. BY January 7, Mr.
Bell was back in the Army with
the Chemical Warfare Battalion at
Fort Bragg, N. c. This time they
were playing for keeps.
From Fort Bragg, the trail led
to Camp Pickett, Va, and on June
%, 1943, Pvt. Bell was in North
Africa.
Wounded Twice.
1t was on to Sicily, Salerno, Ma
Piles and Rome Twice Pvt. Bell ad-
vanced in rank and twice he was
wounded, once in the hand, again
in the eye. Neither was serious
and Sergt. Bell rejoined his outfit
for the push to Casino, the inva-
sion of Southern France, and final
ly, the capture of Munich and Nu-
ernberg.
Through all this Sergt. Bell piled
up 103 points, far more than the IS
required for a discharge. And last
night he came home to undisturbed
sleep.
He didn't want to say much
about his experiences" said Mrs.
Bell. He laughed off his wounds by
saying he zigged when he should
have Jagged"
Father Is Veteran.
That was an expression the soldier
learned from his father, Harry S.
Bell, now fire marshal of the Po-
tomac River Naval Command. The
senior Mr.. Bell learned it in the
World War, of which he is a veteran.
Robert Chats what the Bells
call their SOM was appalled, by the
lack of war consciousness back
home" his mother said. "He doesn' t
want people to forget the GIL"
Roberts father was at the Depart
mental Auditorium the day Ernest E.
Kinnard brought the historic fish,
bowl from Philadelphia for the draft
lottery. Mr.. Killard was the captain
of an American Legion guard of
honor, of which Mr.. Bell was a
member.
Asked for Draw"
81 was a soldier and want my
son to be a soldier" Mr.. Bell told
Mr. Kinnard before the draw. "See
if you can't arrange for his number
to come out first"
Mr.. Kinnard did no arranging
but out the number popped, and
Mr.. Bell was almost as startled as
Mrs. Bell. She could not suppress
cry that was audible over the
radio networks.
Called to the microphones, Mrs.
Bell said: 81 only want nay boy
to be as good a soldier as he has
been a son."
Today she was satisfied that
Draftee No. l had carried out his
assignment.

Hitler in Antarctic
On Explorers Island,
French Radio Says
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Adolf Hitler, variously reported
dead or escaped to one place Oh
another, was brought back in the
news again today by report that
he had taken up residence on an
island in the Antarctic.
Following a statement by Cesar
Ameghino, Argentine Foreign Min
lister, that there was no truth in a
published rumor that Hitler and
Eva Braun had reached Argentina
by the German submarine U-530
and were living in Patagonia, the
French Brazzaville radio relayed a
report that the pair we're in the
Antarctic.
The broadcast, heard last night
by NBC, quoted "the South Ameri-
can newspaper, La Critica," as say
ing Hitler and Eva had taker refuge
on Queen Maude Island, a former
base for German Antarctic explor-
ers, after being landed by the U-530
which surrendered last week to
Argentine authorities.
The Argentine government an
nounced that the U-530, which sur
rendered July 10 at the Mar De
Plata naval base, would be handed
over to the United States and Great
Britain.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Ameghino said
Argentine officials were investigat-
ing reports that one and possibly
two submarines had been sighted
off San Clemente Del Tuyu.
The Argentine Navy Ministry salo
the undersea craft could not pos
sibly be Argentine since they were
all at their bases.
The British Admiralty has an
nounced that four German subma-
rines have not been accounted for

Union Leaders Urge
SchweIIenbach 10
Run All Labor Units
BY the Associated Press.


Lewis B. Schwellenbach appeared
today to be charting a course which
with congressional sanction, woulc
make him the most powerful Secre-
tary of Labor since the department
was created in 1918.
The new cabinet officer told a news
conference yesterday that 80 leaders
of organized labor had advised him
his department should have contro
over all Federal labor agencies ex-
cept the standing National
labor disputes.
. And Secretary Schwellenbach
strongly indicated he agreed with
them. He said, however, he had not
made up his mind which agencies
should be united with his depart
ment, but that he would begin con-
fefenceS with agency heads tomor-
row and later sound out congress
sional sentiment
Housekeeping Problem.
Mr.. Schwellenbach also made plain
that if he did gain control of the
Quasi judicial War Labor Board and
National Labor Relations Board
which deal with wartime labor dis
putes and unfair labor practices, he
would not meddle with their con-
occasionally conferred powers.
f. Il would only take over their
housekeeping functions" was the
way he put it. THAT is, to oversee
their procedure and try to speed it
up. I am not going to take over
and become an appeal agent of any
board that decides controversial
questions.
Secretary Schwellenbach said he
also would look into the feasibility
of taking over the independent Fair
Employment Practices Committee
and the Labor Divisions of the War
and Navy Departments.
Questioning also developed his be-
lief that he ought to have something
to say in presenting labor's case
on wage stabilization.
Admits Error.
"I don't want to become errand
boy for labor or the WLB before
Economic Sterilization Director
Davis" he said, "but if I do take over
WLB I will want to do it with the
idea in mind that have the right
to decide what is in labor's well
fare"
Mr.. Schwellenbach said he had a
feeling before he entered the cab
met July that the end of the war
in Europe would bring gradual
settlement of labor problems. Ac-
knowledging that he was wrong, he
said one example of where dissatis-
faction appears likely is when men
in a reconverted industry find that
they are getting less than those still
engaged in war work.

gardener wants early, midseason and
late varieties, he will have to buy
a packet of each. For such crops
it is good practice to team up with
neighbors, each one buying a diff
ferent variety and dividing the
plants. This is especially important
with cabbage since few families can
use more than a head or two a
week. A planting of one variety
will not remain in good condition
for more than a month, thus it is
desirable to have a few plants of
three or four varieties to insure
supply over considerable period
A single packet of most of the
small seeds will supply the average
gardener with enough seed to plant
25-foot row. The larger seeds.
corn and beans, of which we usually
make several paintings, should be
purchased in larger quantities. But
even with corn, the small sized box
usually contains enough seed for a
l00-foot row.
With the list and quantities COM
plete, the next step is to buy from a
reliable firm.

labor supply is plentiful.
To those who contend that wages
are too high already, let me say this:
The Governments own figures show
that go per cent of American workers
are now receiving wages below the
bare subsistence level for a family
of four officially set by the Depart
ment of Labor.
And to those who become alarmed
at the danger that prices will be
forced upward along with wages,
thus inviting postwar imitation, let
me say this: Increased productiv-
| ity of individual workers developed
during the war and amazing new
mass production techniques will re-
duce labor costs even with higher
wage rates and permit lower prices
if industry is content with present
profits. This statement. of course,
is based on the assumption that We
are aiming at high-level produc-
ton, without which postwar pros
perity is impossible.
While the situation of organized
workers in private industry is seri-
Gus, the plight of white-collar
workers and those engaged in Fed
eral Government service is even
more precarious. The American
Federation of Labor therefore rec
ommends that a minimum wage
floor of not less than rs cents an
hour be established by amendment
of the Fair Labor Standards Act and
it also recommends legislation to
increase the basic pay of Govern
ment employees and accord them
actual time and half for overtime.
The best economic security any
worker can, enjoy is a good job at
good pay. Our social security sys-
tenn was devised to provide insur-
ance for those not so fortunately
placed, either because of old age or
temporary Unemployment. But the
social. security system needs broad
ening and modernization. More
than 25,000, 900 Americans are still
not covered by its provisions. No
protection is afforded for illness, dis
ability and kindred misfortunes.
For these reasons, the American
Federation of Labor urges immedi-
ate enactment of the Wagner
Murray-Dingell amendments to the
Social Security Act. This bill will
broaden coverage of social security,
set up uniform, Nation wide stand
ards for unemployment compensa-
ton and provide health and dis
ability, insurance for American
workers.
Finally we call on the President
and Congress to adopt policies and
laws with respect to reconversion
which will expedite the orderly
transition from war to peace pro-
duction, protect human needs as
well as property interests and end
as soon as possible the present
Government controls upon man
agement and labor which were vol
unfairly accepted because Of the
war emergency but which cannot be
permitted to remain in effect in
peacetime without impairing Amer
ica's free enterprise system.
