BAN ENLISTING OF
PLANE
| Aira and Shipbuilding Employees in Essential Work Must Stay on Job Unless Drafted, Army and Navy Agree. }
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24
day prohibited voluntary enlistment in the armed forces by
any essential worker in the ~ dustries. : The action was seen as
mands among federal rnanpower agencies that all voluntary
~ enlistments be stopped.
Acting after approval had been obtained from the war and navy departments, Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, selec- ~ tive service director, instructed local draft boards by tele-
gram to refuse releases for
istment to essential air! craft nN shipbuilding work-|-
He defined essential workers as | %any registrant who is, or should _ be, classified in class II-B or III-B . end who is employed in the airA craft or shipbuilding industries.” |. The ruling also applies to regis- " trants who resigned from essential Jobs in those industries within 60 | days before seeking to enlist. . Gen. Henshey emphasized that | ®*this is not a blanket deferment of workers in these industries, who will continue to be called for mili- “ tary service as they are needed and as they can be replaced in essential g | Jo! » Expect McNutt Plea Refusal
Some observers interpreted the ~ order as indicating that President Roosevelt has decided to re“ject a plea by War Manpower ‘Commission Chairman Paul V. McNutt that all voluntary enlistments ‘be stopped in order to make possible “orderly withdrawal” for military duty of men from essential industries. Mr. McNutt is supported by Gen. Hershey and other manpower officials. Mr. Roosevelt is known to have opposed the idea because of his close association with and affection ‘for traditions of the navy, which ays has been able to meet its npower needs on a voluntary basis. ° Officials suggested that the new ! ruling might be extended to other industries as labor shortages become more acute.
Boards Have Responsibility
Gen. Hershey's telegram to local boards mentioned specifically an issue which fast is becoming one of the knottiest problems of the ~ federal manpower program: . “Since this action had been taken to protect the aircraft and shipbuilding industries from an uncontrolled loss of essential employees, local boards have a major responsibility to carefully and . promptly determine whether or not @ release will be issued upon request of a registrant wishing to enlist.” This, significantly, followed a ' press conference comment by Mr. McNutt yesterday that tighter coritrols should be applied to make sure that local boards observe dire:tives from Washington.
Insists On Civilian Control There were these other develonmens. in the manpower field:

a compromise answer to de-
power chief, Mr. McNutt replied, ‘I don’t know.” 4. Mr. McNutt said that although he has “no objection” to nationwide registration of women, presumably on a voluntary basis, he believes it would be wiser to order registrations only in specific labor shortage areas “for the time being.”
5. The war manpower commission announced completion of a comprehensive list of approximately 3000 specific occupations which hereafter will be considered as “vital to war production” and therefore ground for occupational deferment from armed service. All told, there are about 27,000 gecupations in the United States. The list will be made available to regional offices of WMC'S U. S. employment service and local draft boards. The ocupations listed are those which require at least six months’ training and are “necessary” to essential activity.”
U. S. SEEKS TO GET - CAROL’S TESTIMONY
DETROIT, Nov. 24 (U,P.).—Federal Judge Frank A. Picard today dispatched a petition to the state department asking permission for King Carol of Rumania to enter the United States from Mexico so he may testify in the Detroit trial of three Rumanians. The defendants, the Rev. Clicherie Moraru, the Rev. Stephen Opreanu, and George Zamfir, editor of “The Rumanian Voice,” are charged with aiding a movement to bring King Carol to the United States, where $80,000,000 in Rumanian funds are frozen,
DUTCH CHARGE NAZIS EXTORTING RANSOMS
"LONDON, Nov. 24 (U. P.).— The Netherlands government charged today that Germany is extorting ransom from persons in allied and neutral countries for the release of relatives and friends in axis-occu-pied territory. An official statement of the refugee government said the Netherlands, after consultation with Britain and the United States, had decided “not to yield to German attempts at extortion.” It warned Dutchmen that the payment of ransom would violate the Netherlands law covering traffic with the enemy.

Orchestra Seeks Cellist's Release
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 24 (U. P.).—Members of the Philadelphia orchestra today revealed they are
trying to secure the release of Pablo Casals, world famous Spanish cellist, who is a political prisoner of the Franco regime in Spain.

He was captured recently when the Germans poured through Vichy territory, The nazis turned him over to the Spanish government, along with a number bf other political prisoners. The men of the orchestra sent petitions to Secretary of State Cordell Hull and the Spanish Ambassador Juan Francisco de Cardenas, asking that Casals, who played frequently with the famed organization, be given “immediate amnesty or safe conduct to the Portuguese border.” The petition also was signed by conductors Arturo Toscanini and Eugene Ormandy.

SEEK TO LIMIT SENATE DEBATE
Move Follows Defeat by Filibuster of Anti-Poll
Tax Measure.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24 (U. P.. —Defeat by filibuster of anti-poll tax legislation today created demands for stricter senate rules on limiting debate and for greater consultation among Democratic members. in the handling of legislation.
Pressure for modernization of the rules came from the group favoring abolition of state poll taxes as a requirement for voting in federal elections, and was sponsored by Senator Claude Pepper (D, Fla.), author of the anti-poll tax bill. Pressure for party caucuses on important legislation came from the opposition.
Pressure on Barkley
Both pressures tended to center on senate Democratic Leader Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky, who, incidentally, celebrates his 65th birthday today. The senate adjourned last ‘night until tomorrow after defeating, 41 to 37, his ‘motoin to limit debate, thereby killing all hope of passage of the anti-poll tax bill this session. Democratic intra-party bitterness reached a new peak in the poll tax controversy, since it came to a head Just after the Republicans had won nine new seats in the senate. Republicans believe that the leadership of southern Democrats in the filibuster will strengthen the G. O.P. among Negro organizations, which had actively backed the legislation.

party superiors” Krebs came to the United States in 1926 as a stowaway and that he acted on orders “to commit murder by a Communist party official in Los Angeles.” In October of 1926 Krebs pleaded guilty to assault with a deadly weapon on a Los Angeles storekeeper and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. After serving 39 months at San Quentin he was paroled for deportation in Nevember, 1929, . The board reported Krebs later became an executive officer of the International of Seamen and Harbor workers and “the comintern’s chief trouble’s maker on the water fronts of Europe, hunted by the police of half a dozen nations.” He was ousted from England and Norway and was twice tried in Germany for high treason. He was released after serving part of a 13year sentence upon signing a pledge that he had become “a devoted son of the great German fatherland.” Krebs returned to the United States as a crewman aboard a merchant vessel in 1938, was ordered deported, but ignored the order. He was arrested in March, 1941, but was released on $5000 bail pending the immigration board’s hearing of his appeal.
Charge Treachery
In denying the appeal, the board found that Krebs “life has been so marked with violence, intrique and treachery that it would be difficult, if not wholly unwarranted, to conclude that his present reliability and good character have been established.” Krebs’ book “Out of the Night,” described what he said were his experiences with the gestapo and the comintern in the days preceding and immediately following Hitler's rise t6 power. According to the book, Krebs’ at the behest of the commintern worked his way into nazi confidence and became a member of the gestapo after being tortured in nazi prisons. Eventually, however, both the commintern and the nazis lost faith in him and he fled to America.
Follow Mandate
In rejecting his appeal against deportation the board said: “Apart from his ineligibility we
us the proof falls short of estab-
person of good moral character for the past five years. Whatever the nature of his activities since 1938, whatever the extent of his popularity as a writer, the alien may not escape the plain mandate of our deportation laws. “On the record before us, it appears that he has been completely untrustworthy. It may be debated whether a ‘man can strip himself of his skin,’ but on this application we find the respondent’s proofs insufficient to show that he has completely divested himself of his past of destruction, lawlessness and wavering loyalties.”
LIFT BANK LIMITS ON BOND BUYING
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24 (U, P.). —All federal and state limitations on the nation’s banks were removed today to permit unlimited purchases of most government securities to help finance the war. At the same time, the banks were authorized to make short-term loans to individuals wishing to purchase more government securities than their immediate capital permits. The sweeping move was designed to increase participation of banks and the public in the treasury’s new $9,000,000,000 boyrowing program to be instituted Nov. 30.

Army or Prison For Ex-laspector
SOUTH BEND, Ind. Nov. 24 (U. P.). — Harry P. Stoffels, 36,
former wage-hour inspector who is under a suspended sentence on a federal conviction for accepting a bribe, left here today with a contingent of draftees for induction into the army at Toledo, O If the army physicians pronounce him physically fit he is in the army. If they reject him he must serve two years in federal prison under the sentence. Stoffels was convicted of soliciting and accepting a $200 bribe from the Blue Lumber Co. at Elkhart to cover alleged irregularities in the company’s books. Federal Judge Thomas Slick suspended the sentence because Stoffels was planning to enter armed service, but made the suspension provisional upon his acceptance by the army.
MILLION CIVILIANS MAN WAR OFFICE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24 (U. P.). —The civilian payroll in the war department increased above the 1,000,000 mark during last August, approximately tripling the employment for the same month of last year and almost equaling the total of all other government civilian employees. The civil service commission reported today that civilian employment in the executive branch of the government showed a total of 2,450,759 during August. Of these 1,009,030 worked in the war department, compared with 358,788 employed during August, 1941. The -oftal employment was an increase of 122,827 persons, or 5.28 per cent, over figures for July.
