OWER IN U.S.
orkers Fail to Shift to Vital Industries as Suggested, | Compulsion May Follow; Hoosier Boards Sort New Names.
‘Selectiye service and the U. S. Employment Service today undertook a joint program to ‘‘draft” workers on a voluntary basis for vital war industries that face labor
Officials in Washington Said, appeals to the patriotism|
of the workers and their employers, the lure of higher wages, and, possibly, threats of induction into the a
would be the only jnstruments for shifting men from non-
essential war jobs. But they hinted. that if that program fails, Congress may be asked eventually to authorize compulsory assignment of workers to jobs where they can contribute most to the war effort. This was found necessary in Great Britain and some of the conditions
which brought it on, it was said, already are developing in this country —tendencies among employers to “pirate” badly-needed workers from competitors and among workers to “shop around” for the easiest, highest-paid jobs.
Plan Inventory of Manpower
Basis of the new program will be a detailed inventory by Selective Service of the training and specific skills of all of its eventual 48,000,000 registrants—virtually every man in &the United States between 18 and 65 years of age. Questionnaires on vocational skills will be sent to the 9,000,000 men who completed registration yesterday in the third national enrollment of manpower within g 16-month pe- ' riod, to ‘the 17,000,000 already registered, except for those now in the Army, and to another 22,000,000 in the age groups 18 through 19 and 45 through 64 and who will register next spring or early summer, Selective service officials reported that the third enrollment ended successfully last night. It affected men in the 20-through-21 and ' 35-through=44 age groups. A lottery to determine the order in which the new registrants will be called will be held sometime next month.
Hoosiers’ Cards Sorted
Meanwhile, Indiana’s 152 local draft boards today began sorting the cards of those who registered for the draft in the state yesterday, preparatory to sending’ them to the proper draft boards. The | transfer of cards must be com- | pleted | before the lottery next || month. | After. the lottery, the new registrants will get their draft ques- || tionnaires. Then, the draft boards will classify them. Col. Robinson Hitchcock, State | Selective Service head, termed yesterday’s _ draft registration “a success” 5) said that everything “went. off smoothly.” | Draft officials d that | figures on yesterday's registration would be released late today or tomorrow. Washington first banned publica- || tion of the registration figures but | today rescinded its order. It is estimated 300,000 registered yesterday in the State and 30,000. in the County.
Labor Leaders Delerred
Selective Service headquarters in Washington last night announced (that labor leaders had been classified as essential to the national avelfare and would be deferred in Class | 2-B. |The announcement brought criticism from Rep. Clare Hoffman (R. Mich.), who said if the ruling was “used to defer agitators, we might just as well turn our produc- | tion over to the enemy.” A. F. of L. official described it as la “sensible decision.” Senator Robert Taft (R. O.) said “deferment of such men in the 35 and 45 - year age group should be somewhat | liberal” but he believed deferments of labor leaders in the lower age brackets should be “strictly limited.” Selective Service also disclosed that teeth and eyesight standards for | the 'Army had been reduced | “materially,” allowing induction of anyone whose teeth—real or false— are workable enough to handle the -Army’s Y‘chow.”
ata on Skill Sought
Eyesight requirements for “all noncombatant branches” were reduced from a minimum visual acu- _ ity of “not below 20/100” to “below 20/100, |but - not below 20/200 in ach eye” if correctible (by use of lasses) | to 20/40 in. each eye. The questionnaire on vocational lls, in its present, tentative form, 11 ask:
1. The registrant’s name, age, ad-
ss and telephone. ‘2. His present place of employ-| nent and his duties there. 3. Complete data on trades learned in the past. | 4 The three trades at which he inks he is most proficient. The registrant also

COAL DEALERS REDUGE TRIPS
Urge Orders in La in Larger Lots; Saturday Afternoon De- | liveries to Cease.
Six recommendations designed to conserve manpower, rubber and gasoline, as well as to simplify delivery preblems, were drafted at a meeting of 60 coal dealers last night at the Athenaeum. The resolutions were presented for approval of the dealers -by J. Don Ballew, after being drawn up by a committee headed by C. A. McKamey. He was aided by Frank Pittman, Burl Sexson, M, K. Foxworthy, L. L. Logsdon, Charles Wright and Mr, Ballew. Six Steps Suggested The following steps were recommended: “l. Order your coal at least a day ahead, so that orders in the same neighborhood may be made by one truck. “2. Do not specify a definite time of day. This. causes special delivery service which must be avoided. “3. Order coal or coke in larger quantities, thereby reducing trips necessary. Do not order less than one ton. “4. Pay cash. Save the discount and buy defense stamps with the saving. Credit to Be Curtailed “5. Do not request delivery of coal for Saturday afternoons. After
on Saturday afternoons. “6. Credit must be curtailed in keeping with our Government’s instructions. Pay for prior charge items = before asking additional credit.” The - resolutions will be sent to all the coal dealers of, the city.

ASKS CARE IN SAFETY CHICAGO, Feb, 17 (U, P.).— The National Safety Council carried its wartime campaign into America’s homes and farms today ’ to prevent manpower losses which
result from 37,500. accidental |
deaths and 5,000,000 injuries annually. Managing Director W. H. Cameron told delegates to the first National Home and Farm Safety Conference they must work to eliminate the ‘human failure” of misunderstanding, stupidity and recklessness—which caused 85 per cent of all accidents. He estimated that safety education had saved approximately 265,000 lives since 1913.
CHARGES CRIMINAL ATTACK

Allison and Curtiss-Wright workers in Indianapolis should be as proud as the British are grateful, a cablegram from the Air Ministry in London said today. The cablegram, sent to F. C. Kroeger, general manager of the Allison Division of General Motors Corp., described the feat of 18 Kittyhawk planes, which are powered with Allison engines, in shooting down 20 of 30 enemy aircraft in five minutes and damaging all of the other enemy planes. The action took place in the Middle East campaign. The cablegram said a British pilot told of the fight as follows: “The enemy were starting to groundstrafe our boys when we dived on them. Numbers didn't mean a thing. It was like swatting flies the way they went down. I could see our troops flinging their
cations. |

shook with the impact of falling aircraft. Six enemy craft hit the ground in six seconds. “It was terrific. Pity there weren't more of the blighters.” Every pilot of a Kittyhawk bagged something. A Halifax, Nova Scotia, sergeant pilot blasted two Macchi 200’s to pieces and seriously damaged a Messerschmitt. The cablegram carried a “box score” as follows: “Total Kittyhawk bag five Messerschmitt 109’s, 14 Macchi 200’s and one Breda 65. Damage included Macchi * 200’, and. Junkers 87's. Ome Kittyhawk had a cannen shot in its tail. No other Kittyhawks even scratched. The message from London ended thus: “Sincerest congratulations and thanks for wonderful performance which should make Allison workers and Cuytiss-Wright workess as
proud as we are grateful.”

DESCRIBED FOR
CONTRACTORS
Speed Is Vital in Defense Housing Work, National
Association Told.
Indiana was praised today wd W. Watson, retiring president of Associated General Contractors of America, for literally blazing a trail in highway safety. Mr. Watson, a Topeka, Kas., contractor, attending the association’s convention at the Claypool Hotel, referred to the illuminated center strip which blazes on Hoosier roads as the glass chips in it reflect the lights of autos. “While no statistics probably are not yet available,” Mr. Watson said, “I am sure that this center strip will reduce the number of fatal accidents.. It is an idea which other states well might adopt.”
Hold Divisional Meetings
The 800 members of the A. G. C. attending the three-day convention spent the second day in three divisional meetings—those of building contractors, heavy construction and railroad contractors, and highway contractors. Tonight they will assemble in the Claypool Riley Room for a forum discussion by all members. The greatest emphasis in defense housing today is speed, Baird Snyder III, Federal Works Agency administrator, told the Association yesterday, . ed
Stress Pre-fabricated
“President Roosevelt has made $153,000,000 available for temporary defense housing and in order to obtain the greatest speed the prefabricated house building industry’s output is to be entirely used,” Mr. Snyder declared. When the pre-fabricated supply is exhausted, he said, the building of permanent houses will be resumed. He added that the nation’s housing program was moving so fast that up-to-the-minute .figures could not be cited. He pointed out that the Government’s housing program was weli
in advance of what it was in 1917.
New Methods Urged
W. V. Kahler, chief of the construction branch of the War Production Board, told the contractors yesterday that the construction job which is going on in hation is the largest ever undertaken by “this or any other nation.” He requested the contractors to develop new methods of construction that would conserve critical materials and asked for more supervision by management on the job to produce satisfactory progress

Indiana Politics
By Vern Boxell
NOW THAT they have the mayor race all set up to their own satisfaction, Democratic organiza-
tion leaders are
busy ironing out some other spots
as the primary battle gets under way in earnest. Causing the most trouble, it seems, is the
Criminal Court
bench which will be vacated by
Judge Dewey Myers if he’s nominated and elected mayor. So far there~are at least three men| under consideration and
a decision on the favorite will be
made soon.
There’s Municipal Judge John McNelis, who had the inside track
or a while, former Municipal Judge Thomas Garvin, and Floyd Mattice, former deputy prosecutor. It's hinted now that the nod favors Mr. Garvin, but the huddling goes on and no one is certain just what will happen.
Two other spots also are open on the ticket, and the final selection in the Criminal Court squabble may be decided partly on the basis of what happens in these cases. The Treasurer’s berth has been held open for Sheriff Al Feeney if he will get out of the mayoral race, but he has safd that he will not take it. No other candidaté has been decided upon.
Also open is the Sheriff choice, with an overstuffed field from which to choose. For some time, it has been reported that James Scott would get the o. k., but even this has not been decided definitely. Otherwise, the ticket is rounding into shape rapidly. Among the latest reports making the rounds is one that Superior Judge Joseph Markey, who was marked for organization opposition in seeking his third term, may not be challenged after all. ” » ”
Spotlight Shifts
THE POLITICAL spotlight will shift from local to state races this week-end, when editors of both parties convene for their midwinter huddles here. Most of the
attention will be centered on the Republicans, who have highlighted their session with a speech by Rep. Joseph W. Martin, the national chairman, Saturday night. Naturally, the 1942 G. O. P. hopefuls will be on hand sounding out their chances for places on the state and Congressional tickets. They also will keep their eyes on the struggle for control of the organization, which has been going on behind the scenes.
. A State Committee meeting will be held Saturday afternoon, and one of the questions likely to be settled is what to do about the secretary vacancy caused when Neal McCallum was appointed to the A.B.C. L. 8S. Bowman, committee statistician, has been moved up to the main offices and is carrying on the duties temporarily. Meanwhile, the Democratic editors have put the damper on the office seekers by limiting their pow-wow to one business session. No banquet, no big-name speaker, very little hoopla. There won't even be a State Committee meeting until March 9. But you can’t throttle political hopefuls that easily. They will be here, and - busy, too.

Await Candidacies IN JUST 17 MORE days, the books will be opened for formal declarations of candidacy at the
County Clerk and Secretary of State offices. So far there has, been only a trickle of announcements. But you can look. for a deluge between now and April 4. . From Lake County comes the report that the Republicans, despite their internal turmoil, are anything but glum about their November chances. They hope and believe that the Democrats will get all cut up in hot primary races, because so many will be seeking [third terms. , . . Jess Hutsell is expected to announce his candidacy soon for the G. O. P. Sheriff nomination. Harmon Campbell already is in the race. . According to the State Election Commissioners, it isn’t necessary for primary candidgtes to file signed petitions with their declarations this year. But some county politicians are urging candidates to get at least 25 names on a petition and turn it in. Some disgruntled candidate may decide to test the law as amended by the 1941 Legislature and it's better to be safe than sorry, they argue.

The City Council has passed an ordinance increasing taxicab rates in Indianapolis from 15 to 25 cents for the first mile or a fraction of & milé.

to operate. Councilmen Harmon A. Campbell and Walter E. Hemphill, Republice ans, voted against the ordinance.
Charges 150 ‘Bootleg’
opposed the measure “because 150 bootleg taxicabs are permitted to operate in Indianapolis without bee ing molested.”
Police Chief Morrissey told the Council he couldn't arrest all the “bootleg” cab drivers because ‘his department had no tunds to pay the fares required to obtain evidence. The chief said, however, that 24 convictions were obtained against unlicensed cab operators last fall, Paul C. Wetter and Charles Strouse, representing the Indian
