Five of its most skilled steel design engineers have quit |

in a body to take jobs in national defense—the Glenn Martin |

The men quit because they will get at least 25 per cent!

more salary.

They also have been assured of steady em-

plovment for at least five years, an especially pleasing pros-

pect in view of the change of state administrations

next January. All 12 engineers in the steel design department were interviewed | by the aircraft company official at the Claypool Hotel. Eight ‘were offered jobs, but three turned them down. The five who accepted were S, B. Orr, head of the steel design department for many years; A. J. Trow-| bridge, G. L. Knoll, R. B. Nelson and | H. Van Horn. Engineers are being “snapped up” | by national defense industries at] high salaries with which the State

Department, restricted by budgetary Peter Salemi, 32, a longshoreman, |

regulations, cannot meet. So far, the commission has been able to replace only two of the five who quit “A lot of this steel design work takes vears of experience and one can't expect a college graduate to sten right in and fill the vacancy. 1 don’t know where were going to come out,” an executive said

The outgoing governor is practically forgotten before his term is nearly over, and the party politicians, both “ins and outs” start early to win the favor of the man who may be the next governor Since Mr. Schricker is a candidate for office, he talks to every one who comes into his office. Often he does not away for lunch until
