Terminal Pay Rush
Jams Photostdf Unit
Al Veterans Center

SWamped by first weeks rush
of nearly 10000 applicants for CT
terminal leave pay forms, Director
Waldron E. Leonard of the District
Veterans Information Center today
appealed to veterans in Government
service to use their departments
photostating facilities to ease the
demand on those at the center.
The center, at Fourteenth street
and Constitution avenue NV, has
only two phostating machines, Mr.
Leonard pointed out. Under normal
conditions, he said, the machines
can turn out only about 1900 copies
week, far below the demand now
being made Of them.
Potostatic copies OF discharge pa
pers must be submitted with appli-
cations for terminal leave pay. The
center has been supplying the photo
stats without charge at a cost to
itself of 20 cents copy, including
reproduction of each side of the
document.
With an estimated 10000 former
service personnel in the District
Mr.. Waldron said the center soon
will be helpless to serve the de-
mands made by the increasing num-
Der of terminal leave pay applicants
unless additional machines are ac-
quired. He said he had appealed
to the Community Chests War Fund
for two more phostating machines.
Until such machines are avail
able, however, Mr.. Waldron said,
the center faces breakdown of this
service If many applicants for the
terminal leave pay forms do not fur
nish their own photostats.

British Vessel Sails
From Palestine After
Warning Of Explosion
BY The Asxoeiotsd Pres,

JERUSALEM, Aug. 23.-The
British troop ship Empire Hey
wood put to sea today short
time after naval headquarters
received warning that the vessel,
carrying 900 Jewish immigrants,
would be blasted shortly.
Authorities said the Haywood
would remain in the Mediterranean
for four days, because it was believed
she would be safer at sea than in
Haifa Harbor, where Wednesday
swimming saboteurs blew a hole 8
feet by 3 feet in the side of the
troop ship Empire Rival. The Hey
wood also had been damaged in a
previous explosion.
Camp conditions at Cyprus pre-
vented the immediate landing of the
illegal refugees aboard the Haywood
They are being deported under the
British policy forbidding further
illegal immigration to Palestine.
One destroyer accompanied the
Haywood, scheduled to dock at
Cyprus August 81. She started for
Cyprus week ago with the refugees
but was forced to return to Haifa
when refugees ignited two small
gelignite bombs in the hold.
Otherwise, Palestine was quiet to-
day, with the main interest center
ing on the awaited decision con-
f1rming or committing the death
sentences imposed on 18 Jews
members of the socalled Stern gang
after their conviction last week at
Haifa. Military sources have been
predicting an early decision daily,
but there has been no official indi-
cation of when it would be made
public.

Mississippi Youths Free
After Charges Are Altered
By the As,eeio,sd Rre.x

COLLINS, Miss, Aug. 22.-Two
white youths originally charged with
an attempt to attack two colored
girls and third originally charged
with pointing weapon were free to-
day after pleading guilty to minor
charges and paying small fines.
District Attorney o. o. Weathers-
by said the case still was under in
vestigation. However, charges of
attempted criminal assault against
Ernest Earl Mcdonald and Jadell
Moore, and the weapon pointing
charge against Clyde Sellers were
withdrawn with the agreement of
the complainants, and all three in
stead were charged with creating a
family disturbance"
The three appeared before Justice
of the Peace T. C. Campbell and
pleaded guilty to the minor charge.
They were fined $40 and costs each.
Pointing out that filing and subse-
quently Withdrawing charges some
times subjects the complainant to
punishment for frivilous eprosecu-
tion, the district attorney said he
also will determine whether any ac-
ton should be taken against the
colored girls.

Industry in District
Held Unable 10 Hire
All Released by U. 5.

Private industry In Washington
will be able to absorb some but not
all the Federal workers scheduled
for discharges this fall, Ernest v.
Connolly, associate District direc-
tor of the United States Employ
ment Service, predicted today.
The District, he said still has
more working people than in any
year before World War II. Approx
mately 626,000 persons are employed
here, including 5000 in the Gov
ernment.
How many of the estimated $500
Government workers to be fred in
November can find jobs in Wash
ington will depend to a large ex-
tent on when construction and
other materials start flowing into
the city, Mr.. Connolly pointed out.
More Transfers Expected.
While private industry can use
qualified secretaries and stenogra-
pliers, he said, the Government also
wants them so they probably will be
transferred rather than dismissed.
Mr.. Connolly expected that most of
those who lose their Government
jobs will be general clerical workers
and there is a surplus Of them here
now.
When department stores get more
merchandise to sell. when builders
get their construction materials, and
automotive equipment begins to
come in, employment in Washington
will be on the upswing, the employ
ment official predicted.
In fact, when construction opens
UP, he added, Washington is going
to suffer from shortage of workers.
1000 Job Applicants.
Illustrating how the shortage of
equipment keeps workers unem-
pioyed, Mr.. Connolly said he had
1000 job applications from truck
drivers and truck drivers helpers
who can't be put to work because
employers can't get trucks.
Right now, the USES has more
applicants than jobs for plumbers,
plasterers, restaurant managers.
sheet-metal workers, machinists and
electricians.
Principal shortage of workers. Mr..
Connolly said, is among mattresses
and demand for them will be even
greater when the summer ends and
students go back to school.
Retailers Need Help.
There also are some openings for
workers in the wholesale and retail
trades and in the hotels and laun-
dries.
Unemployment here has remained
consistent at around 10000 for
months, despite the return of serv-
icemen, the influx of war workers
from other communities. the lay-offs
OF workers from war plants in this
area and Government dismissals.
Job openings listed with the USES
have dropped from 1890 in August,
1945, to 4.383 this month.

0PA Raises Newsprinf
Price Ceiling 81 a Ton;
New Increase Hinted
BY HE A.soeiu,.d Press

The ceiling price on newsprint Is
up 81 ton today, and it may be in
creased further soon.
Il wouldn't be surprised to see
another increase before long," an
OPA official told a reporter.
In announcing the immediate 81
increase yesterday, OPA cited these
reasons:
l. ITO help assure an adequate
supply of newsprint for United
States publishers by attempting to
prevent diversion TO other mar
kets of foreign newsprint.'
2. To check any tendency" on
the part of domestic producers to
divert newsprint production to
other more profitable lines of paper.
3. To offset manufacturers higher
costs for raw materials, labor and
freight.
Linked to Revaluation.
In its announcement, OPA made
no mention Of the recent 10 per cent
upward revaluation of the Canadian
dollar. although this repeatedly was
a major factor in the decision to al
low higher ceiling.
Canada, the source of 80 per cent
Of this country's newsprint supply,
raised the price for this paper Sc. 80
ton shortly after United States
price controls lapsed July l. This
higher price reflected the Canadian
dollar revaluation.
As a result of the increase, OPA
authorized sale of newsprint on an
open-billing basis, pending deter
mination on whether import ceilings
should be raised.
This authorization became effec-
tive August 8. Hence, the $7-a-to
price increase granted yesterday is
allowable on all sales since that
date.
The new ceiling of STA ton at
38 port-of -entry cities applies not
only on Canadian newsprint, but on
domestic production as we'll.
Increase Recommended.
The OPA official who said ceilings
may be increased further noted that
newsprint manufacturers and some
publishers had recommended price
increase OF 81 ton even before
Canada revalued its dollar.
Such an increase was urged on
the ground that Canadian newsprint
otherwise might be diverted to world
markets where better price could
be obtained.
Since the 81 increase granted yes
terday exceeds by only 20 cents a
ton the amount needed to offset
Canadian revaluation, the situation
is scarcely changed from what it
was when the 81 price boost was
sought.
In granting the 81 price hike.
OPA said Representative publish
ers have advised that they
favor an increase in prices to help
maintain supplies" of newsprint.
The agency said, too, that an
advisory committee representing
American newsprint manufacturing
recently recommended
that OPA grant a price ceiling in
crease"
