GERMANY FACES LABOR SHORTAGE Unable To Find Sufficient Men To Carry Out Program 1 Vatican City, Feb. 16. — (U.R) — The nazi German ambassador to . the Vatican, Dr. Diego Von Bergen. addressing the congregation of cardinals, paid the highest tribute to the late Pope Pius Xi today "for his courageous defense of the church at all times.'' He said the sacred college "hns a great responsibility in electing a successor worthy of Pope Plus, because of the present political situation" and that “everyone hopes this evolution will be carried out peacefully." Von Bergen made the address as dean of the Vatican diplomatic corps, which was received in I solemn audience hi the consistorial hall. The diplomats came specifically to extend condolences on the pontiff's death. Forty card- ■ Inals were present. ‘ Von Bergen, whose country's ' strained relations with the Vatican were one of Pope Pius' deepest sorrows, said that the Pope's j statesmanship had been demonstrated by the Latent accord which restored temporal power to , the Popes. He recalled that as apostolic nuncio to Poland, Pius Xi had remained in Warsaw despite dangers to hfs life "at a time when a Bolshevik invasion threatened the doors of the capital.” He said that the centuries-old rights of the Pope Pius had "always guarded church, with the interests of peace and harmony always in mind." 1 Referring to Premier Ber.ito Mussolini and the Lateran accord, he said: i "His Holiness met the proposal made by a great statesman and brought peace between the church i and Italy.” Cardinal Gennaro Granito Pig-! natelli DI Belmonte, dean of cardinal bishops. thanked the diplomatic corps in behalf of the church. Prior to the reception, the con-1 gregation of cardinals held a general meeting to discuss preparations for the conclave to elect a I new pontiff. It was announced , ! that today's arrivals from various parts of Europe would increase the number of cardinals present I i to 45. I Earlier in the morning, the fifth ' funeral service of the Novendeali aeries was held at St. Peter’s, j with Msgr. Guiseppe Migone, the late pontiff's secret almoner, officiating The Vatican scene today was one of unusual activity, as plans for the conclave were speeded. Many clergymen had ceased their customary studious activity and were seen rushing from state offices making various arrangements for rooms for the conclavites. and seeing that the princes of the I church would not lack comforts I during their sessions.

I GERMAN LEADER (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ( change, to quit their present employment and work on jobs regarded al important to the state. The result of then- deiTees wux to give the state almost complete control and direction of man power and woman power In the ■ country. j For Instance If a German under the age of 25 years decided to be a barber he must get permission from the labor office, which may , decide that Germany does not i need any more barkers and that he had better leant welding. EmI ployes must have permission to ; quit, their Jobs. Workers in the I metal Industry building trades and agriculture as well as domesi tic servants, know that owing to I the acute shortage they will not ! obtain such permission. In thousands of stores today one clerk now does the work of two. One 25 year old engineer told the United Press that in the last few years he had had more i thun 100 offers of jobs. At pres- , ent he does two jobs, one in the day time, the other at night. Actually, before Goering's rel vent decrees, the shortage of man ; |M>wer in the machine and armaments industries was so severe I that key men were unable to quit their jobs without their employers' consent, and sometimes had i to have the consent of the labor I office. Goering's new decrees legalized this position and made | it effective in all jobs throughout i the country. CHURCH NAMES ICONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) steward: W. F. Beery, reserve district steward; A.
