400 Needed ByScoviII
 Company Recruits
 Through Workers

Already employing over 6,700 workers, more than ever have been employed in peace time, the Sco- will Manufacturing Company has started a new program to recruit 300 to 400 additional workers. Dur ing the wartime peak, the con- pany employed more than 10000 workers.
 About 25 percent of the workers at the firm at present are former serVicemen. according to Alan C. Curtis, president. There is a general need for workers through out the plant, although there is a special need for such skilled work CTS as tool makers, machinists and workers qualified in the construc- tion trades.
 Women for machine and bench work also are needed. Explaining that many men, especially ex- servicemen, do not wish to take po- sitions in the mill, Curtis said that work there is not as difficult as many people think Many people have the idea that working in the mill is hot and heavy. Curtis stated that a great deal of the work there is very light.
 Scovill's has always followed a policy of attempting to recruit new workers through the help of their employees. The firm believes that friends or members Of the same family working together are much more efficient. The company has mailed special pamphlets to all their employes stating that "ScoYill needs help Asking the employees to bring their friends, relatives and neighbors, they offer the slogan, Let's go 10 work and beat infla- tion"
 Curtis said there were more ap- plicants for jobs yesterday than is usual for Monday. Monday is ordinarily busy day though he said, explaining that many people seem to like to look for jobs then.

American Farmer Due
In England Tomorrow
To Face Legal Battle
BY ths Associoisd Press

LONDON, Aug. 6.-The collision
damaged American merchant ship
American Farmer was making for
Falmouth at about knots today
and was expected to arrive there
about 8 pm. 6 pm. EST tomorrow.
The 8,258-ton vessel has cargo of
wheat for bread-rationed Britain.
At the end of her voyage she faces
a probable legal squabble between
British and American companies
over s4,500,0 900 salvage rights.
The American Farmer, owned by
the United States Lines, was aban-
doned by her crew after she collided
with another American ship We'd
nesday about TOO miles west of Lands
End.
Reports Of Seizure Unconfirmed.
The British ship, Elizabete, only
a fourth her size, had the crippled
ship in tow when a crew from the
American Ranger, sister ship Of the
Farmer, boarded the damaged ship
and got it moving under its own
power.
There was no confirmation in the
London press today OF reports that
both American vessels might be held
on reaching Falmouth for an
Admiralty court to decide whether
the Hudson Shipping Co. of Cardiff,
Wales, owner of the Elizabete. was
entitled to salvage.
Both British and American salvage
laws hold that owners of a helpless
vessel and owners of her cargo must
pay rescuers whatever is decreed by
a prize court.
Application of the British maritime
principle that the award depends on
the effect of the services rendered"
would bring up the question of the
value OF the Elizabete's rescue at
tempt.
