FARBEN INDUSTRY
STOCKS INCREASE

FRANKFURT, Germany, Jan. ID.
value of stocks in l. G.
Farben industries has nearly dou-
bled during the last three months,
despite the assertion of American
military government officials that
the big German Cartel has been
smashed.
On the Frankfurt stock exchange
effective shares in the remnants
of the octopus-like trust, known for
its international ramifications,
jumped from a low of 70 per cent
of par to a high of 142 per cent
a few days ago. Today the value OF
effective shares-meaning those
available for trading on German
markets-was 1873 per cent of par.
Reasons for the rise range from
the one given by an officer engaged
in iquidating the trust that the
Germans simply are gambling with
an excess of idle money to the one
given by French newspaper that
there is dirty work" in the United
States to preserve at least part of
the huge enterprise.
James S. Martin, newly appoint
ed American control officer for the
trust, said he believed there were
two reasons for it.
First" he said "there is a great
deal of idle money of dubious quail
ity which is regarded as meaning
less by the German people. The
Germans are putting their money
in Farben for a gamble.
Second, believe German specu-
lators are trying to challenge us. In
effect they are betting they are
smarter than we are and that Far
ben will come back. It's a nice
challenge, and we are going to meet
it.
PERSONALLY I think they are try
ing every maneuver to halt our
breakup of Farben. Another ma
neuver is to try to get back into
Farben old personnel so they will
be in a position to take over when
we get out"
Other quarters who follow the
rise and fall of the Farben mar
ket said: 'the German people are
putting their money into Farben be-
cause, although they know the car
tel will be broken up, its Individual
plants will not be destroyed and
those which remain will honor the
original Farben stock"
Brig. Gen. William Draper, Jr.,
director of the economics division
of the military government, an
nounced Wednesday that 81 of the
AZ major Farben plants in the
American zone had been destroyed
or set aside for PREPARATIONS. Farber
now is a name only" he said.

HINKLE ADDRESSES
EXCHANGE MEMBER

H. L. Hinkle, manager of the To-
cal U. S. Employment Service,
addressed Exchange Club mem
bers on the topic of "On-the-Job
Training of Veterans yesterday
at their regular luncheon meeting.
Mr.. Hinkle declared, the rate of
discharging veterans, has been
more rapid than anticipated, and
the ability to ASHORE them back
into the current economy has not
kept pace with expectations.
There are IL On-the-job training
employers for veterans in the four
counties embraced in this district,
which is inadequate to the needs.
Not only are veterans returning,
but many war workers are return
ing to their homes here, and be-
cause of strikes holding up work
in large production plants, many
local firms are affected. However
veterans should rate the job over
all others where they can fill il
with equal ability. 1t is both fail
and necessary to give them tor
consideration, he said.
The plan works on the basis
that veteran may not exceed II
money paid by the employer ane
the government a scale greater
than would be paid a trained work
er by an employer for the same
ioh A fair basis of working Ou
schedules is available to employ
ers, at our office he said. Th'
only way, Mr.. Hinkle said, to solve
t is problem of veterans is to worl
with the men through the U. S. E
is.

l40 EXSERVlCEMEN
ON WAITING LIST

There are 140 veterans on a wait
ing list for housing accomoda-
tons in Wilmington, according to
telegram sent last night to Eric
Johnston, president of the United
States Chamber of Commerce, by
John H. Farrell, Wilmington Cham
Der secretary.
Housing situation in Whining
ton not as bad as other parts of the
State although local Federal hous-
ing authorities have definite wait
ing list of 40 veterans" the wire
disclosed.
Farrell received telegram from
Johnston yesterday morning which
read:
Reports from all parts Of coun-
try indicate increasing anxiety over
inability of veterans to find hous-
ing. Please wire me, collect night
letter, Immediately report on stu
alton in your community and what
measures in your judgment would
be helpful in speeding up the pro-
vision of permanent housing and
Of temporary housing where neces-
sary."
Farrell, who is a newcomer to
Wilmington, began check OF
sources in which he discovered
the following facts:
1.-THE situation is not as bad here
as in other cities in North Caro-
lima, according to officials of the
Foster-Hill Realty company. In the
same instance it was pointed out
by them that the condition here
could be eased by the releasing OF
materials for building"
The office of H. R. Emory, ex-
ecutive director of the Wilmington
Housing authority, reported lac
veterans were on a waiting list
for houses in that office alone.
Local officials of the American
Legion are investigating the stu
alton here regards veteran hous
ing and are making a fl survey
of incidents in which the veteran
has been "shunned'' in his search
for a house.
The overall national picture has
been "black" for months with vet
Grams in many communities form
ing groups and organizations in ar
attempt to lease the situation
Sources close to the veteran prob
lem, regarding housing, have
claimed in recent days that 8
movement has been started in some
states and communities for q
march on Washington in demand
of solution to the problem.

Truce Commission Halls
Jehol Inspection Trip

PEIPING, Jan. 18.-tR-Cancel-
lation Of a scheduled truce-inspec-
ton trip into Jehol province, plus
continuing charges and counter
charges of truce violations, raised
new questions today as to the eff
fectiveness of China's armistice of
less than a week ago.
1t was learned also that no in

churia by the truce. commission,
which has headquarters here.
This latter seemed to square
with reliable reports from Chung
king when the agreement was
signed January 10 that the govern
ment would be permitted to con
tinue moving troops into and with
in Manchuria to clinch Chinese
sovereignty over that territory.
At executive headquarters of the
commission here, it was said tina
Manchuriaj constituted a "compli
cated'' problem. One of the prime
subjects of discussion has beer
the reported loss by government
forces of the southern Manchuri;
port of YingkoW after the arms
tice took effect last Sunday mid
night.
Jehol doomed as an importan

powers.
The truce negotiations original.
came near begging down becaus
the government insisted on occupy
in certain strategic areas in Jeho
and Chahar provinces. But tn
Communists announced they ha
stuck to and won their objection
on this point. The Communist
claim they liberated both thes
northern provinces from the JAP
anese.
A truce inspection team whicl
was due to 60 to Changteh, JehoP
capital, had its trip cancelled tc
day. The reason given was tina
the airport there could not handl
transport planes.
A government military counc:
spokesman in Chungking charge
today that the Communists ha
moved up 10000 reinforcement
and attacked Tsining in Suiyua
province but were repulsed fou

show that while the disease

100000 people normally have colds

The proportion of farmers with
colds has been found higher than

than those who work outdoors.

Electricians SOftbdIIerS Humble BOiLmakerS II to 4

Last Saturday, Aug. 10th, at Groton's Washington Park, the long suffering Electricians turned on the Boilermakers, and handed them a decisive II to 4 shelacking in an official seven inning soft ball game.
 The tilt was the result of end less challenges, insults and threats hurled by the Boilermakers' Walt Windy WaMgurski, who made life so miserable for the Electri- clans Al Farina that he threatened to get out Of the office the Boil ermakers and Electricians share if something wasn't done about the challenge.
 When the story, thanks to Wally and his ace pitcher Doc" Puza, got around the yard, and finally even invaded the sanctity of our homes, that the Electricians were just bunch of buns who wouldn't dare accept a challenge hurled by the great Waligurski's Boilermak- CTS, we knew something had to be done about 1t.
 We went around among the Elec- tricians and got together good ball club, told them the spot we were in and had no trouble getting them to show up at the park Sat urday morning. We had heard Doc" "Wally," and Vim Curran brag so long how good they were, we expected a terrific battle, and accordingly started our best men. Ken Macdonald pitched, Pete Ar menia caught, Bucky Wilds held down first, with Al and Johnny Gonsalves and Walt Cluzeski mak- ing up the rest of the infield. George Cammel, Al Partridge and Casey" McMahon loafed around in the outfield.
 After the first three innings we knew Wally had "laid an egg" The Boilermakers just weren't there From there on in we re- faxed, drank beer, got up to bat everytime, it seemed, we felt like it, knocked out another hit, and in general had swell day at the Boilermakers' expense.
 Needless to say the "big wind" died down, but give him credit, he played until the end, even if he did look like man having a bad dream. Even when some little kids wanted to play his team next, he didn't seem to notice, he

grumbles and growls about some thing he knows nothing about but pretends to know more than any, one else. The man that never at tends a union meeting is like a man we have working in our shop. He claims he can tell the Electric Boat Company how to run our shop at a large profit. This man never did over years work at any plant before he went into the service because he was too young to work. But still he knows more than a large company does about making profits. Men may be good paying union members but if they never come to meetings I ask you what do they really know about organized Labor? Here in our plant we have many, many men that never have been inside of a union hall, but these men are all ways complaining. Complaining about something that they know nothing about. A lot of these men cannot tell you why they joined a union. l do not mean this for all the men because I have met some real union men in the past five years and have learned a lot from these men. I have learned the one important thing that l hope you will all learn in the very near fu- ture and that is without unions the working man would be just plain out of luck.
