pronounced the hands in excellent
condition" with no trace of gam
creme. The doctors still don't
know if amputation of any of her
limbs may be necessary.
The treatment of the woman is
being carefully recorded for a re-
port to the medical profession.
Physicians hold hopes that much
of it will prove valuable in the
future because of the prospect of
soldiers fighting wars in Arctic
climates.
Described as a hefty woman
with a weight of close to 100
pounds and a height of about 5
feet 8, Mrs. Stevens was reported
by police to have a poor reputation
in the neighborhood in which she
was found. She lived in a hotel in
the area.
She was wearing at the time she
was found only short spring
coat, sweater, skirt, stockings,
slip, and galoshes. According to
police there was an odor of alco-
hol when they picked her up.
However, hospital officials said
they could not tell whether she
had been drinking or not.

WASHINGTON (ANP) - Now
is the time for Negroes to prepare
themselves for top jobs in industry
and in overseas service for the
Federal government, according to
Mrs. Thomasine w. Norford, min
ority groups consultant, United
States Employment Service.
Mrs. Norford made this state
ment and gave out a number of
tips on how Negroes can improve
their employment status during
the present emergency.
NEGRO manpower potential in
this nation has hardly been
scratched for the defense pro-
gram" she declared, due to lack
of training"
Advising that Negroes should
look more into vocational fields
rather than think of the profess
sions only, she said:
1T am indeed concerned at this
time about the unemployment of
Negroes and other minority
groups. Because of the critical
world situation, opportunity for
employment will be provided.
However, am gravely con-
cerned that they be employed at
their highest skill; that they are
upgraded in terms of supervisory
positions. ! want to see them up
graded to supervisory positions,
and to become trained IN skills
which will be needed"
In short, Mrs. Norford offered
the following bit Of advice to Ne
groes who want to better them
selves on the job front:
Make a COMMUNICATIVE evalu-
alton of vocational training oppor-
tunities such as apprentice train
ing, on the job training, veterans
schools, public vocational schools,
and others.
Find out what is available, re-
cruit persons for training, and
improve inadequate facilities.
There must be assurances that
these facilities are open and that
they be used.

Negroes Urged To
Learn Higher SkiIIs
Should Prepare For Defense. Oversees Jobs,

Because of the psychological
attitudes set among many Negroes
against working with their hands.
there is grave need for concen--
trated campaign of popularizing.
dramatizing and glamorizing
working at skilled trades" Ne
groes need to brush up on the
Booker T. Washington advice to
dignity and appreciate skilled
labor.
Open right now are 81 positions
in Liberia under the American
Point w division of the State De-
partment. A large number of
whites already have applied for
jobs, but very few Negroes so far
are seeking them.
Among positions to be filled
are those of agriculturists, engi-
neers, botanists, foresters, ento-
mologists, and aides in the public
health program. Mrs. Norford said
members of minority groups
should take advantage of these
offers.
Speaking of government jobs,
briefly, she noted that many jobs
offering as high as $4,000 year
were open in overseas service. Po-
sitions are open in five areas -
Alaska, Guam, Okinawa, Japan,
and Germany and Austria.
The government win pay trans
portation costs overseas both
ways. Persons with jobs paying
more than $3,s25 a year may make
arrangements to bring their fami-
lies to Germany, but Far East
family accommodations have been
discontinued.
The u. S. Department of Labor
has printed bulletins describing
numerous defense jobs, Mrs. Nor
ford said The Department Of De-
tense has regulations deferring
men employed in these jobs in de.
tense factories from the draft.
Now Is the time for Negroes
and other minority groups to pre-
pare for essential jobs, Mrs. Nor
ford said. because openings in
defense work viii be increasing.

 Eighteen cents of these in- creases is dated from January 8 with the balance being effective from April 1.
 EFFECTIVE DATES
 The effective date of the agree ment with the incorporating unions was February 1, it was pointed out. The earlier date of January was possible as the re- suit of a commitment by the railroad management and the settlement on Stateside lines.
 The Alaska Railroad set Janu- ary 8 as the effective date when negotiations were started, but said the date would be contingent on dates decided covering the Northern Pacific railroad. Under this procedure, the January 8 date was possible since the Out side line agreed on October 1, 1850, for retroactive pay for op- erating unions, but set February 1, 1851, as the effective date for incorporating workers.
 An escalator clause was writ ten into the agreement that wage adjustments to correspond would provide for automatic with the Bureau of Labor statis- tics living index. The agreement is subject to review each quarter starting October l, 1851.
 Assisting with the negotiations here was MT. Ed Fitch, an interior
