Let me tell you what happens if you go out to Lockheed Air-¢ craft for a job. You stand in tne on the sidewalk until your turn to get in to the preliminary interviewers. You are likely to stand - and wait from one to four hours. When you finally get in, you get a brief interview, lasting only a minute or so. In ‘this very first place, four out of five applicants are weeded out and sent away. They either don’t have birth certificates, they lack sufficient education, or they just seem a poor type. But one out of every five looks fairly promising, and is sent upstairs to take the various tests. One is an examination to find out what kind of temperament this fellow has. It is called the Humm-Wads-worth test, and a great deal has been written about it.
The Test Tells
It is g list of 318 questions which must be anSwered y&§ or no. As a -matter of fact, there are only seven Tr questions in the test, but they are put over and over in different forms. The idea is to bore right into you, despite yourself, and find out what your character is. They say that, even if you try to lie, the thing is 80 cleverly put that you will reveal your true self. After the temperament test, you are given an or-. dinary intelligence test. And also a test putting a huge wooden jig-saw puzzle together, against time. Then you go home for (the day and wait to see ‘whether you get a call. But—so great is the n for experienced men that, if you impress the interviewers as you go through, you'll be asked to w t a: little while after ‘you've finished the test. . They can analyze this whole business in less than ‘20 minutes. And, if you've passed everything with a ‘high average, you're kept Tighy there for a final talk
Ey
with an expert. intérviewer, then examined by a doctor, and you wind up by: getting a Job that very afternoon. But that doesn’t happen any too often. For men of that caliber aren’t often found standing in line on| a sidewalk waiting: for ‘a Job. They don’t have to nowadays. The Lockheed people say that, if they don’t ‘hire the top people in these tests within days, they've lost them. In other ‘words, no superior man. Is jobless for three days. But such men are few. Here is the score at Lockheed: Each week 25,000 people apply for jobs. Of the 25,000,” only 5000 ever get upstairs to take the test. Of that 5000, only 1000 are good enough to ) gob Jabs with Lockheed.
“All Must Be Trained
I've been speaking of “good” all the way through. By that I don’t necessarily mean experience or skill in a trade. For the aircraft plants have long ago exhausted America’s too small reservoir of skilled men. Almost everybody hired nowadays has to be trained. By “good” I mean native ability to learn quickly, and ability to work harmoniously with other people, and possession of. a normal, well-balanced temperament. This Hwmm-Wadsworth test shows it if you're introverted, or sour on the world, or “have potentialities as a trouble-maker. It shows whether you're normal or not. I went through the test “myself out there, and realized very quickly that I could not qualify in temperament for a job with Lockheed. Because the test would show that I would rather work alone than in a group, that I do not like to work under pressure, that I am often down-hearted and gloomy. The head man said that very probably I couldn’t pass the Lockheed test, but would still make a good employee. He said they don’t pretend the test is perfect in any individual case. But they do pretend—in fact, they know—that it works in the mass. For they choose so well that their discharge record is only a tiny fraction of 1 per cent. To get a job at Lockheed a fellow has to be so superior that it led a friend of mine to say, “Well, that’s all right from Lockheed’s standpoint, but my God, what's to become of all’ the people who aren't the cream. Isn't there any place today for an ordinary man?” Which is a poser, indeed. The place for the purely| © muscle-man has been growing slimmer and Slimitier for a good many years.
Inside Indianapolis (And “Our Town”)
- OUR ALLISON ENGINE, famous: for speed, first claimed attention because it could run—not so fast —but backward. That was in the days when bombers could fly fir, but not far enough, and the memory of Zeppelin raids over London still was foremost in the minds of the military experts. America was hepped up over the future of lighter-than-air craft and the Allison engine was being developed as a means of driving an airship forward and backward. Then came the last of our major airship disasters a decade ago and the Allison airship motor was dropped. This and a number of off-the-record stories of .the Allison history were included in a paper de--livered by Ronald Hazen, Allison’s _ chief engineer, to a select gathering of motor experts sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers. d Mr. Hazen: “No disclission of the development of the Allison engine would be complete without reference to the controversy between the air-cooled and liquid-eooled schools of thought.” The audience cheered for several seconds. The air-cooled boys, if any were there, might well know where. the liquid-cooled theory stands with at least 300 engine experts.

WASHINGTON, May 19.—The final surrender of Vichy’ to Hitler is a blow of major proportions. It ushers in new possibilities of the gravest concern to’
=
/ the United States.
This is a factual report on the meaning of the Vichy surrender as it is understood here. Forget about convoys. That issue now is a small incident overshadowed by the far larger issue of control of the Atlantic.
Note that President Roosevelt, in his Thursday night statement, said that if France surrenders her colonies on the west coast of Africa to Hitler, then the peace and safety of the Western Hemisphere would be menaced. Those are most significant words and they were uttered with full understanding that Vichy already had
£
surrendered. _ The surrender is considered complete. Some details remain to be worked out but it is understood here that whatever Hitler wants out of Vichy he will get. The only possible exception concerns Weygand’s forces in northwest Africa, and that is not yet clear.
Free Hand in Syria
Definitely Hitler already has obtained a free hand in Syria which brings Su€z and Egypt under closer menace. Definitely he has obtained permission to enlarge the technical force now at Dakar improving fortifications and port works. It can be assumed that the Germans shortly will be :in full control’ there. Probably the same goes-for Casablanca. .As Vichy’s surrender is understood to be complete, it is assumed thaf ‘Hitler is free to make’ whatever . use he wishes ‘of the French fleet. This has been mobilised in the Mediterranean. But it is in condition to go to sea at any time. It is a considerable fleet, * consisting of two battleships, -one aircraft carrier, 14 cruisers, 53 destroyers and 60 submarines. This force may be used either for convoy work or ibe turned against the British navy in the Meditertanean. Combined with Axis air strength in the

Troubles of a Photographer
A LOCAL PHOTOGRAPHER shot some pictures for a Federal agency down at Charlestown last week. Even his official-business credentials didn’t make his job very easy. Whenever he took a picture on the powder plant grounds, an official looked down his sights and then made voluminous notes on what the shot included. Then when the photographer tried to take a picture.-af some property adjoining ‘the plant’ by standing on a railroad track, the railroad police were johnny-on-the-spot and threatened him with film complications—or worse. He had to stay overnight and the nearest lodging he could find was miles away—a bed in a closet for a dollar. He used a path which short-cuts to the plant and at the end found a collector who raked in five cents from everyone who passed, which included most of the ‘workmen. But he found something free—huge amplifiers emitted spirited music while the men arrived at work. -

Mediterranean, this is a most ominous force. Of more direct concern to the United States are the possibilities on the Atlantic coast. Dakar and Casablanca “presumably will soon be used for submarine and dive bomber bases. It is expected that Hitler will soon move for Portugal .as Lisbon and Oporto would . give him submarine bases. much closer to North Atlantic shipping. With this combination of African and Portuguese bases, Hitler would be in a infinitely stronger position to attack Atlantic shipping. Of :particular concern to us are the islands off the coast—the Azores, the Cape Verde Islands and the
Canaries. The closer Hitler approaches to them, the].
more concerned the United States will be.
Entrenched at Dakar
Those are the facts and surmises, clearly as I can label them. t. we shall do will depend upon how events develop. Possibly no one in authority could say definitley now what is coming. I think it is fair to say we are not likely to commit any overt act of aggression ourselves. At-the same time we sre likely to resist any attempt. by the Axis to establish itself on the islands off the coast. We are not likely to permit Germany to take the Azores and make her own Hawaii of them. We are not likely to permit the Cape Verde Islands to become an Axis outpost. I feel less certain about Dakar. The Axis already is fairly well entrenched there. How we would react to offensive operations conducted out of Dakar is uncertain. But I think that Axis seizure of the Atlantic islands would be considered a hostile act menacing the Safely of the Western Hemisphere. It can be taken as basic that we will not permit Axis encroachment out into the Atlantic. I think that will mean war. I have tried to lay the situation on the: line. The chatter about convoys, and most of the debate about the war which you hear in Congress is. hogwash. Hitler has maneuvered successfully to the point where it is now possible for him to move out into the Atlantic. If he tries it, that will be the challenge. I think the challenge would be met.

Several of the women who worked with Mrs. Catt paid tribute to her leadership and told of their own experiences. A very excellent speech- was made by Dr. T. V. 8mith of Chicago University. I was happy to. be granted the ‘privilege of handing the medal to Mrs. Catt. I want to say again in this column what I have often” said before to friends.

ing activities on the military reservations would not even know which shortages - exist. alize for instance, that the snappylooking, fully motorized batteries of 75’s should be’equipped instead with; 105 mm. howitzers. Or ‘that many of the 30-caliber machine guns should be 50's. Or thaturoops have too few mortars and 37 mm. cannon. ‘But officers, who naturally are anxious to get their full quotas of modern fighting ' machinery, will say that the shortages are not immediately critical.. Take the 105’, for example, which are most conspicuously lacking. f The 105 mm. howitzer has been chosen as the field gun to replace the famous 75. It has a high, plunging fire and tosses a 33-pound shell about 13,000 yards. The modernized 75 (of which we have a great many) has almost as great a range, shoots a 13 1-2-pound shell on a flatter trajectory. The latter gun is faster in operation and in directly aimed.fire is poison to tanks. Many military men feel that it would be no great calamity if the 75 never was displaced. They'd like it to be supplemented by the heavier weapon. However, the 105’s now are in fairly rapid production. The fastfiring, vicious little 37's—four types of them—have been at least tripled in output since private industry has| got to. work on them. -Machine guns and 60 and 81 mm. mortars seem to be arriving slowly, but that’s partly because the mod-
numbers of them to attain a fire power undreamed of a- few years ago. It’s planned to have 1,418,000

G.0.P. Files < Rebuttal Brief;
Court’s Order on Oral _ Argument Waited.
Attorneys in the inter-party battle over the new State government setup. today awaited a Supreme Court order for oral arguments, final step in the legal test of the G. O. P. ‘‘decentralization” laws.
An early hearing is believed probe able, with a decision on constituNl | tionality of the 1941 Legislature’s shakeup measures expected before the high court’s summer recess in July. Latest step in the legal procession was the filing of a rebuttal brief by Republican attorneys in their appeal from the injunction obtained several weeks ago by Democratic attorneys blocking appointments by the newly-created G. O. P.-domin-ated boards. The Supreme Court has said that in ruling on the injunction, it also will determine legality of the rew laws..:

In their latest: document, the attorneys for the four elected Republican state officials who are defendants charged that “a mere state-

6 Nations to Share in Carving of Jugoslavia; Croats Fly Swastika, Serbs Snipe at Nazis
By JOSEPH W. GRIGG Jr. United ress Staff Correspondent : BERLIN, May 19 (U. P.).—The Axis carving knife today was in process of removing Jugoslavia from the map of Europe, much like Poland was removed.
Germany, Ttdly, Hungary and 8ulgaria and the new created state of Croatia all have joined in the shar-}’ ing and Rumania, too, may get a small slice. All that‘'remains to the Serbs of the. former kingdom .of Serbs, ‘Croats and Slovenes is a small area around Belgrade and Nisch. The fate of this area has not yet been decided but most neutral observers believe that it will be made into sort of a second govern-ment-general similar to “rump” Poland. Hungary and Bulgaria already have taken military possession of their shares of Jugoslavia and are setting about making them Hungarian and Bulgarian. Serb shop signs are disappearing as fast as sign painters can work. Serbs who entered the areas after 1918 ar being ejected on a few days’ notice. In Hungarian territory they. have been made to leave with only such worldly goods as could be crammed into twe suitcases.
Croats Have Own Army
Croatians are working equally as rapidly to erase signs of their for-
mer connections with the Serbs. Al-
ready they have created their own army—still dressed in former Jugoslav uniforms with regimental badges removed. Serbs are being expelled. . On a tour sponsored by. the Ger-

Army officers report that the most Sordbicatntly lacking Feary ord- # nance is the 105 mm. howitzer, pictured above.
It was chosen as a
field gun to replace the famous 75's. However, experts are divided over whether it is actually so superior to the 75, some feeling it should supplement, but.not displace, the 75. The 105 mm, howitzer . tosses a 33-pound shell 13,000 yards in high plunging fire, The ad

Meafiwhile, there is, and has been, no shortage of new light tanks, which are rolling out of the Berwick, Pa., plant of the American Car & Foundry Co. at. the rate of 12 to 15 a day. These are all right for training in maneuvers, but most of the tanks in use by the armored divisions do not have their full complement of guns. The most ‘serious shortage is one I haven’t heard discussed, and that’s ammunition. “Maybe other outfits]. are getting it, but we're not,” was the impatient ‘remark I heard in all parts of the country. Apparently none of the outfits is getting enough

‘tainable.. Store windows, as in other Serb towns, have been practically depleted of their stocks.
Hit at Profiteers
Notices warn against price increases and profiteering. German military authoriites also have posted orders in all towns forbidding requisitioning of supplies by individual troops. Serbs told me that such requisitioning had occurred during the first few days | of the German occupation. All of “rump” Serbia now is under direct German military control. In most towns local officials, however, have been reinstated and some Serb police have been allowed to return to their posts. Unlike Greece, there is no-central Serb government. German authorities have taken severe measures against Jews. All Jewish shops have been closed. I saw notices in Belgrade stating that all Jews who failed to report to German or. Serb authorities by April 19 would be shot. The - blitzkrieg : swept with such, rapidity over Serbia that the countryside gen wi was untouched. It seemed evident t little effort will be needed to return rural districts to normal.
