: : Out ‘Lighthorses’ With : Movie Speed.

By DAN CAMPBELL . United Press Staff Correspondent . SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND, June: 6.—I watched tanks, how many. I am not permitted to reveal, being punched out like doughnuts on American-made machines in a plant so vast; so efficient, it made my head swim. - =I toured “tankville” yesterday about the same time Prime Minister Winston - Churchill announced that materials, particularly tanks, lost in Flanders were being replaced with motion-picture speed. . ° I saw Churchill's words live and breathe. Acres of machines, many of them stamped “Cincinnati” were grinding out tanks like sausages in & sausage machine.

“My first impression was that here was the surrealist factory in Charlie Chaplin's “Modern Times” come to ®

As soon as a finished “lighthorse,” as the British dub these tanks, rolls off the assembly line, it is taken to a nearby proving ground. ‘I saw the “lighthorses” being tested. Pilots rolled tanks around like kiddy ‘cars, spun them on a “dime,” raced thems over obstacles and through 10-foot deep “shell holes” at speeds ranging from 30 to 40 miles an hour. As soon as the tests are completed, the tanks are rushed to British Expeditionary Force garrisons ready for immediate use, some - in France, others. for the defense of the British Isles.

Resembles U. S. Factory

The tank plant is set-up much lke the big American automobile factory. The hollow tanks are laid ‘down in parallel rows with assem- * bly benches flanking one side. .. On these benches men assemble the under-gear, which are fitted in as the tanks pass along.

taken its place anfong the leading cities of the nation n industrial training for men. Officials of the public school systém claim ‘that this city is the first in the country to offer industrial training for males of 18 and over. Such a course will be offered at Tech High school and Crispus Attucks High. School June 10 to July 19. And if there is an overflow at Tech, Manual High School's. shops will be opened to classes.

1 and 5 p. m. today and tomorrow and from 8:30 a. m. to noon Sat-

urday at Attucks, Tech and at the|

School Board office. ; Shops hum at Tech in an effort to fill the islands of shortage in the ocean of unemployment. Youths realize the possibilities for employment, especially in the metal trades and in the field of making airplane motors. Jobs Await Graduates

Recent graduating classes of engineering schools like Purdue University have obtained almost 100 per cent employment. The demand for skilled labor at the State Employment Agency is eavy — and the enrollment at Tech special school and the display of interest: by former students who wish to “polish up” is indicative of the scarcity of trained technicians: The demand is reflected, too, in advertisements for skilled men by companies specializing in airplane building and by metal factories. The three city schools, Tech, Manual and Attucks, have geared themselves to meet the need. Placards on street-cars and in store windows announce the courses and there are newspaper and radio announcements. Industries do need men, replies to point blank questions indicate. Shortage Acknowledged Edward E. Greene, vice principal of Tech in charge of vocational training, and the State Employment Service agree that there is a shortage of skilled and semi-skilled workmen. “Machine tradesmen, especially tool and die makers, also mass production type of workers are scarce,” said Mr. Greene. “In general, the great shortage seems to be in men who have had training in the reading of blue prints and precision in-

‘| struments.”

“Industries connected with war materials production have reported shortage of skilled craftsmen for many months,” gn ‘employment office spokesman said. “Tool and die designers and makers, lathe and milling machine operators, automatic screw machine operators

need men. There is a shortage es-

Enrollment is to be held between;

automotive, airplane engine manufacturing and airplane instrument manufacturing.” Are specialists scarce, such as boring mill or planer operators? Yes, say both spokesmen. “The greatest scarcity seems fo be in operators of turret lathes and automatic screw: machine operators and set up men,” said Mr. Greene. General machine shop workers, milling machine operators, boring mill operators, tool designers, pattern makers and planer operators and tool makers are scarce, the Employment Service says. ~ Both: Mr. Greene and the Employment Service said there is a scarcity of apprentices. “We. could place more apprentices who have had high school shop training than we ‘can supply,” Mr. Greene said. “Employers are defi-

The Employment Service said that 80 per cent of Purdue's graduating class in engineering was placed: a month ago and that 100 per cent will be placed. Life does begin at 40 for some workers.

WASHINGTON, June 6 (U. P.). —As the American ambassadors in Great Britain and France urged faster delivery of war supplies to the Allies, the Administration today appeared to be on the verge of-re-leasing old artillery and other equipment to them. White House Secretary Stephen T. Early said that Joseph P. Ken-] nedy, ambassador to Britain, and William C. Bullitt, U. S. envoy in Paris, have been besieging official quarters with trans-Atlantic telephone calls and cables in an effort to expedite Allied orders for American warplanes and other Weapons,
