Green Fights The
Transfer of USES

Washington, D. Civilian Green,
president of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, charged that transfer
Of the United States Employment
Service to state control would embroil
the job program in politics and pa
tronage.
Appearing before the Senate Labor
Committee, Mr.. Green pleaded for re-
tention of the USES under federal
control, preferably as a permanent
agency. He assailed the recent ac-
ton of the House which ignored rec
concentrations Of it's own Labor Com
mittee and voted to turn over the
service to 81 state and territorial en-
ployment offices.
A breakup of the USES, Mr.. Green
maintained, would be disastrous" to
the veterans job program, would up
set employment standards and would
be backward step from the full en-
ployment goal "to conditions where,
even at best, l man in every 6 was
out Of job"
Mr.. Green declared that the labor
market will become national in scope
and will have an increasing ''mobil-
ity." Thus, federal USES would be
"a real asset in terms Of getting the
maximum number of people to work
at their maximum abilities and skills, =
he declared.

surreptitiously photographs all the messages that pass through his hands. Before the clock strikes three, all the days work has been recorded on microfilrn which he easily srnuggles out of the ofilce and tucxs away in private safe for future reference.
 x NOT ARRESTED
 On May 8, within few hours of the first news of Ger1nany's un- conditional surrender, the Swed- ish Government broke of diplo- matic relations with the Reich and seized the German ofncial buildings and archives in the country. Seventy members of the legation personnel, including 20 notorious Gestapo agents, were interned, pending their deportation to occupied Germany, which was affected in August.
 The provident Herr x was not among those arrested and expelled. Tn addition to recording for poster ity the secrets of the Nazis' greatest espionage center, he had performed, in the final phase of the war, sum dry services for the Allies, particu- larly for the Danish and Norwegian underground. Now, in reward, he was permitted to stay in Sweden until arrangements could be made for his departure for an overseas country.
 Before he left Sweden, in Feb- ruary of this year, Herr x handed his hoard of microfilms over to an NEA representative for, publication in U. s. newspapers.
 Here, in authentic detail, is the story of super-Secret information gathered, apparently with ease, in the United States, Great Britain, the Soviet Union and elsewhere, and speedily relayed to Berlin via Sweden. Here is the fascinating pie ture of real-life spies at work, clln- ming, ruthless, forever suspicious of and double e-crossing each other. Here are laid bare the sordid secrets of another House on Sand Street" wholly unretouched by Hollywood.

way to Berlin from the four corners of the earth. We shall call him x for the sake of convenience.
 By Nazi standards, Herr X ob- viously was traitor. Perhaps he was a counter-spy cleverly planted by the Allies in the very nerve center of German espionage. More likely he, was a renegade, who pre- pared to jump off," as they used to say in the NaN jargon, and made good use of unique opportunity to prove his disaffection to the Nazi regime at the proper time.
 HIS WORK CONFIDENTIAL
 Although KS loyalty was not questioned by his superiors, his work was of so confidential a nature that a special supervisor was assigned to him. Every afternoon at three o'clock controller would appear at the code room to see that all copies of teleprinter messages re- ceived and dispatched during the day were properly destroyed.
 But x, himself thoroughly train ed in all the tricks of the profession knows how to deal with the Situa- ton. By means of diminutive cam era concealed in his clothing he

 For Tactics

C.I.O. organized employees. of the Torrington Company will meet at the Midtown Dance Hall at 7:30 to- night to vote on a company offer of a wage increase of approximately 10 per cent. The union negotiating committee will recommend that the proposal be turned down.
 The company proposes an increase of 1O.8 percent for the Excelsior plant, and 9.8 percent for the Stand ard plant.
 A group calling itself the Welfare Committee is urging employees of the Excelsior plant to accept the man. agement offer and to. express disap- proval of possible strike action.
 The committee has been assaileo by Thomas Baccei, international or ganizer for the Mine, Mill & Smeltel workers Union. He contends that the company offer is inadequate and holds that employees should stand by their demand for an in- crease of IS Ia cents an hour.

.ennecott Copper Files Annual Report Profit of $50, ,253s21 Announced
 For 1945 = Acute Labor Shortage
 Preventing High Production Levels

Kennecott Copper Corporation, of which the Chase Brass & Copper Company Is a subsidiary, had a 1945 profit of $30,253 ,82l, equiva- lent to $2.79 a share. The corpora tion's annual report notes that net income for last year was subStan- italy less than for 1944, when the figure was $3S,S36, ,669, or $3.76 a share.
 Operating revenues for 1945 were $2O9, 9,6l8,38O, as compared with $246, ,4O5, TSP for the previous year.
 E. T. Stannard, Kennecott presi- dent, said that higher operating costs and reduced production, along with OP.A. ceilings, had brought about the lower net. He cited a continued and progressively acute shortage of labor" as preventing the corporation from reaching the high production levels of other recent years.
 Copper production in 1945, says the report, was 494, ,138 short tons. This was IS per cent less than in 1924, and 22 per cent less than in 1943.
 Pointing out that at the time of the report Kennecott operations were largely halted because of strikes, MT. Stannard asserted that war emergency regulations should be lifted and return made to sound business principles" He de- clared that laws and the Fed'ral administration have been mani

festly favorable to labor" and claimed that organized labor con- stitutes by far the most powerful element in our industrial life"
 "The exercise of its power is today the most outstanding hindrance to production, trade and commerce" said the Kennecott president.
 MT. Stannard declared that labor has made excessive wage demands. He advocated that the present dis torted relationship" between man agement and labor be altered so that management again has the right to exercise its proper function.
 "Artificial restraints" on industry, he said, should be removed as quickly as possible, thereby allow ing unrestricted production. The government, he stated, should con- centrate on economics in its own functions and withdraw from 'ln- necessary regulation of both in- dustry and labor"

EyeAPpeoI Ad Service lnouguroted
 Several Clients
 Already Secure
 Unusual Setup
By ROBERT RICHARDS United Press Staff Correspondent

 United Press Staff Correspondent New York, March 12-(UP)-You too can stare at 8 pretty girls legs without getting slapped, if the plans of Joe Martin and Eliot Stark work out.
 They've started the "Eye Appeal Ad Service" with the idea of keep ing you continually blinking, and already several clients have signed up.
 They'll put their ads in unusual and exciting places. Some will be pasted on the ceilings of barber shops, so that you can look 'em over when you lean back for a shave.
 Others, neat little cards about the size of cigarette lighter. will fit just over milady's garter. When she sits down and crosses her legs, nat urally you'll take a peek. Besides having a little honest fun, you'll know what to buy the next time you go shopping.
 Tt sounds screwy, and 2@ess it is," Stark said today. But it's beginning to make us money"
 Sherry Martin, Joe'S wife, tried out the knee ad the other day Sherry slapped on the placard close to her garter, and went walk ing.
 Makes People Look
 Tt really made people look," she said, but most folks look at a girls knees anyhow, so it didn't make much difference"
 The knee idea costs their clients $20O a week, and the boys consider 1t cheap at the price. Martin and Stark are also a1aSing deal on table cloths.
 ,"In restaurants people always doodle, or draw on the cloths," Mar tin said. And this costs the rest aurant people big dough in laundry bills. But 1t won't, if they take our service. We'll furnish their linen, free of charge, with our adverti.ing on it."
 The idea is to have a pattern of numbers on the cloth. The doci ing customer tries to work the puzzle by following the numbers. Be- ire he knows 1t, he's written out an ad
 "Then we're also planning a 'Back-o-Lantern" Stark said. we'll take an ordinary magic lantern, lis- ing slides, and shine advertising on the backs of the pretty women as they go dancing past in the night clubs"
 And they're going to be very isr- ticular about which backs they choose.

 A daring and efficient spy head quarters, operating with impunity | in the capital of neutral Sweden, collected by radio and courier up- to-date information on all aspects of the Allied war effort and daily transmitted its haul to Berlin by code teleprinter.
 These disclosures, which throw an entirely new light on the "sec- ret war" aginst the United Na- tions, have just been made to NEA Sevice by man who knows what he is talking about the chief code teleprinter employed by the Nazis until the end of the war.
 In support of his testimony, the informant - who must remain un- named for the time being - has delivered to NEA a unique mass of documentary evidence = more than @ thousand photocopieS secretly snapped by him at spy headquarters by means of microcamera.
 The evidence is breath-taking in its scope and detail. One report, filed in March 1945, revealed to the Ger mans the exact specifications of the the ntop secret P-80 jet plane, the Shooting Star: range-700 kilo- meters; top speed-960 kilometers per hour; ceiling-43,O0O 1t; flying time-100 to 105 minutes; producer -four Lockheed plants and one North American Aviation plant; equipped with two engines, made by General Electric; average monthly output, March-May 1945-40 to 60 planes, etc."
