Donald Nelson Plans K For House Cleaning I War Board Leader Seeks Efficiency Washington Aug. 20 — (DPI — War production board chairman Donald .M Nelson, in the first wide-weak house cleaning of his staff, shortly will discharge up to 10 of bis 40-odd branoh chiefs, it was learned today. lie has decided upon the action to promote efficiency In the WPB and to show that he can be ’tough' when necessary for the good of the war effort, It was said. Indicative of Nelson's new attitude since returning this week from a vacation was the dismissal of Frederick I. Libbey, a |s.6oba year engineering consultant, who discussed a WPB Intra-office report with a newspaper reporter before It was written. Libbey. in a statement, said that "any opinions I have expressed are only based on the record—testimony before the Truman committee foi example.” "But If what I said has made Mr. Nelson mad enough to clear out the deadwood, my head is a cheap price to pay for It.” he said. "I would gladly give what little neck I have left to see the boas up to his knees in splinters and still swimming” It was understood that most of the branch chiefs slated for dismissal were in industry operations. Some of the branch chiefs are 81-ayear men. a group which has been under considerable fire. Nelson, his associate* explained, was exported to art within the next few weeks When he became WPB chairman, he announced that ' he would carry on with the staff inherited from the office of pro duct ion management. Although Nelson realigned his organization 1 some weeks ago, no geenral house ' cleaning of hand-me-down officials ' has yet been undertaken. i „ I COMMANDOS (Continued From Faws 1) | They were grimy and tired as they limped to the trucks and buses | waiting tor them.

The rangers, like the others, were exhausted. Returning to their billets through I the quiet countryside, on*- of the most beautiful on earth, scattered crowds of villagers watched them and women leaned out of windows, waving At their billets the rangera were no heroes. They were treated almost as if they were returning from maneuver*, and they acted themselves as if they were. They climbed out of their trucks and buses, grimy and bedraggled, and asked: "When do we eat?” Along the coast as the hours passed and more troops arrived, the crowd* in the streets Increased instead of thinning, watching the trucks and the ambulances which raced through the blacked-out town with the wounded. ■ - o The Mogollon mountain* of New Mexico were named for Don Juan , Ignacio Flores Mogollon. 18th ceil- i tury Spanish governor.

Picketers Demand Bargaining Election Governor Appeals For Return To Work I/ouisviile. Ky , Aug. 20.—’UP) Ofllclala of the CIO aluminum worker* union informed Gov Keen Johnson today that member* picketing the Reynolds MetaJa Co., plants, engaged in war production, would not return to work unless arrangements were made to hold a bargaining election. Johnson appealed for a return to work yesterday He said the merits of the jurisdictional coiflToveiwy with the American Federation of Labor, which caused the walkout, could be considered without halting production of aluminum parts for bombers which the company manufactures. Joseph D. Cannon, regional CIO ' director and spokesman for the union, told Johnson that the workers "desired" to return to their i joiw, but would do so only when a "discharged worker is rehired.

I there Is no discrimination and an election to determine a bargaining , agent is provffied.” Johnson, in his appeal, said the CIO workers would be rendering their organization and the nation "an intelligent service" if they went back to work. "It is a serious dfesorvlce to the nation at a critical hour to halt production In a war plant engaged in producing aluminum vita! to the manufacture of war planes." he said. The walkout occurred Tuesday as a CIO protest against the discharge of Ray Stober, CIO unit ihalrman. which cam,- as a climax to a CIO membership drive. Cannon said "about 2.000" men had left their jobs. The company said only a "few hundred" were Involved. but admitted that production had been curtailed seriously. Picket lines were maintained at all 11 plants again today, hut AFL workers continued to cross the lines on their way to work. o ■ —... Berne Tax Rate Is Cut Three Cents For 1943 Berne. Ind.
