U.S. Needs
Million
Gl's, Workers
~ WASHINGTON, Aug. 14—(AP)
—The government needs a million
new soldiers and military supply
‘workers by June 1949.
‘lhat’s tne estimate made today
by Robert C. Goodwin, the nation’s
top employment specialist, in a
survey of draft and military supply
manpower requirements due to the
expanding defense program.
The impact falls on an already
tight labor market. Spot. shortages
already exist in many localities,
particularly for skilled, technical
and clerical workers.
Employment already is at an
all-time high, with 61,600,000
working at jobs.
Goodwin, director ‘of the U. S.
Employment Service, said in his
report however that he felt the
new draft and military supply
manpower ‘needs can be met with
out disrupting the civilian manu
fatturing and farm economy.
Probably around 62,000,000 per
sons will be employed by next
summer, he said. :
Job Placement
This is the way Goodwin feels
the military manpower needs can
be licked without draining civilian
production:
. “Some will become available as
a result of population growth and
normal increases in the civil labor
forces, Others will have to be re
cruited from outside the labor
force,
“While no over-all shortages of
workers are anticipated, labor
shortages will continue in certain
sections of the country, and new
ones may develop in others.
“The manpower problem is one
of recruitment and placement on
a large scale. This includes move~
ment of hundreds of thousands of
workers to expanding industrial
centers, safeguarding of skills vital
to ' further expansion, training' of
stabilization of tu&fl‘o er and ab
senteeism at low rates, and pro
visiori of adequate housing, feed
ing and community facilities.”
Expiring enlistments in the arm
ed forces will add to the labor
supply, too, as younger men are
drafted, Goodwin said.
But all this switching in jobs
means a bigger task for the em
ployment service and the state of
fices over the nation. Goodwin said
they have made 20,245,000 job
placements in three years since
Sept. 1, 1945. In the seven months
of 1948 they have made 4,161,000
job placements.
One amazing thing in the em
ployment picture, Goodwin said, is
that farmers are producing all
time record crops this year with a

today they have saved American

zone and gaining an economic
strangleha'd over the entire city.
The elected anti-Communist city
government has opposed the Com
munist mcve and has been back
ed by the Western powers.
War Weapon
A notewgzhy feature of Bech
ler’s plan as reported by Der Tag
is the centralization of the Rus
sien zone police force “to make
the entire police organizaion of
the zone the weapon of the So
siafist Unity party.”
The laws of the Ailied Control
Council for Germzny to which
the Russians subscrifed, forbid
centralizetion of zonal pcice.
Bechler also is reported to have
proposed creation of a contror
commission of trustea Commun
ists to push through the plan. The
bedy “should have power to
check on the work of every min
istrv except tthe interior minis
trv,” which contra’s the police. |
Der Tag said Bechler zlso call
ed for a sharpening of the class
strugsle: strict adhercnce by So
cialist Unity party members to the
Marxist-Leninist line with expu!
<ion of #snv memvers who were
lax or deviated from the line; and
cloce and uncomnromising ties
with the Soviet Union. He cited
VYugoslavia as a horrible examnle
of “the working classes turning
zway from the Soviet Union.”

of gw.s in one of the Beginner
ciasre, in a game at the Legion
pcal, being operated this summer
by the City Recreation Depart
ment, with the cooperation of the
Red Cross.
By playing group games, such
es above, the children, quickly
lose any fear of the water and the
leader gains the confidence of
the pupils, WHich i necessary be
fore swimming fundamentals can
'be properly and effectively
taught. This is part of the morn
ing instructional training at the

Of increasing interest is the

two events, in different age
groups, boys and gins being‘

will be an event to suit each en
trant within ‘his or her own age
group. It is hoped that many en
wries will be filéd sothat the event
may become an annual one for
the children of Athens and Clarke |
county and will draw many spec
tators from surrounding commu-‘
nities. Any youngster who lives in
Ciarke county may enter if he or ‘
she can swim one width of the
pool and each will find an event
suited to his or her abiities, with
no charge being made for enter
ing. y i .

Thompson, Talmadge Vie
In Their Victory Claims
.. By The Associated Press
Herman Talmadge and Gov. M.
iE‘ Thompson, perhaps bidding for
the bandwagon boys, turned from
the issues in their gubernatorial
‘campaign today to vie in predic
tions of victory.
’ Thompson’s weekend punch at
‘Greensboro described Talmadge
forces, as “disentegrating.”
’ At Carrollton, Talmadge spoke
of “a great'tidal wave” against the
civil rights; program which he said
‘would. sweep him into office in
‘the September 8 primary.
' “All Georgia hears from him
(Talmadge) and his dwindling
ranks of camp followers, is the
plaintive mourn of the demagogue.
From one.end of Georgia to the
other the people are singing a vic
tory song for ‘M. E.’”
Said Talmadge:
“Qur people are aroused and
they are rallying by the tens of
thousands to our cause.” He re
ferred to “huge crowds” that
have greeted his campaign and
said Thompson is drawing only
“pitiful hundreds.” }
Thompson said a poll of weekly
newspaper editors by the Atlanta
Constitution last week was a
“death knell” for Talmadge. Tal
madge saia “The people are letting
us know how they stand on this
issue by thousands <:f letters, tele
grams, personga calls, and in the
erowds a'é}bfii’ our meetings.”
