manpower problems in industry and |
agriculture,” he said, ‘Draft Setup to Stay . He indicated that there would be
no change in the present draft setup |.
and that calls, confined now to men between 18 and 38, likely would continue to be very heavy.
Col. Hitchcock said that the farm- |
ers can expect within a very short time “an understanding” whereby the agricultural manpower situation will be relieved. * It is reported that the agriculture department will ‘furnish forms to farmers whereby they can furnish
information to their draft boards as! -
to their exact farming operations. : - + To Determine Status From these forms, boards can,. judging by set standards, determine whether or not the individual is: an essential producer of. food. “ Industries are also to be required to furnish replacement schedules to local draft boards. From these

Sergt. Jennings’ Exploit ‘Seen by Pal; Plane Lands Safely.
Sergt. Carl BE. Jennings, 24, son of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Jennings, 1742 Arrow ave. was credited today with the shot that brought down one of at least four Messerschmitts which attacked an American plane on the Tunisian coast. The plane was on. a photo reconnaissance flight when it was ambushed by the five Messerschmitts. . . Sergt. Frederick Tuledge of Damascas, Va., the top-turret gunner, fired long range shots and was convinced he hit the German plane but gave the credit for the decisive shot to Sergt. Jennings. Jennings said he saw tracer bul-
“pon’t tell me those sights ain’t accurate.” The plane was able to fight its way out of the ambush and landed safely at its base, although bullets had been pumped into the American plane. . | Announcement of the action in which the local boy participated was described in a release today from the United States 12th air force base in Algeria.

H. Kautsky, 63-year-old employee
of the Link-Belt Indianapolis plant, received his gold emblem and cer-| tificate of ‘highest merit from President Roosevelt today. He was one of 10 “thinkers for victory” to be honored at the White House ‘and one of but six workers throughout the nation to win the, top citation in the WwPB war production drive. | His technical suggestions for | speeding production were submitted | to WPB by the Link-Belt Co. and United Steel workers union. i Mr. Kautsky said he had been | | “almost that close” to President! Roosevelt twice before. The first ‘was in 1932 when he was in the,
mack of Chicago was fatally wounded while with the presidentelect. : The second was during a Chicago parade shortly ‘after he became! president. i

We are all workers together and we all take pride in our work. You can count on us in the war plants. Many of the men there are like me. I have a son in the navy, my parents came here from Bohemia and we know and feel deeply what - American freedom means.” Ken Bayne, editor of the LinkBelt house organ, accompanied Mr. Kautsky here.

Africa to the united nations and his agreement reached with Admiral Jean Francois Darjan on Dakar removed a sore point between the French and the allies which had been uppermost in the minds of American authorities since the unsuccessful de Gaullist at-

1940. .
Now the allies have full power to utilize the port's excellent naval and air facilities, and later probably French merchant and warships based there, as the shortest convoy route to Africa from South America. The allies also will be able to speed up their air transport routes by using West African air flelds to get supplies to North Africa and Egypt.
