Gates, director of naval reserve activities, Washington Wash-ington Navy Yard. The newsman called on the officer, who question-ed question-ed him about his experience and background and tnen asked, "Were your grandparents born in the United-States ?" "No, they were not." "I'm - sorry," replied' Gates, "but no . appointments are being- given in Naval Intelligence except to men -'.whose great-grandparents were born in this country." ' WASHINGTON SOCIAL, YVARI NazrAnti-Tanfc Troops Blast Reds In addition to hot weather, .war debates . and national defense, Washington now has something else .to worry- about, a social squabble over Aid to Britain vs. Aid to American Draftees. The first engagement in this momentous struggle took, place in the lobby ' of Washington's fashionable fash-ionable Mayflower Hotel. Mrs. Walter Tuckerman, with all the unction of a dowager, was dispensing" stamps to bUy British ambulances, while Mrs. H Charles Spruks, . wife of the ceremonial .officer" of. the state department, was offering buttons for the United Unit-ed Service Organizations. Spruks left her booth for a visit to USO headquarters. Returning, she found that Mrs. Tuckerman, with1 British colors flying, had taken, her place, and the USO booth had been relegated to a more obscure position. Promptly Mrs. Spruks appealed to th management. With Yankee fire in her eye, she demanded, "I want to be put back where I was, In the center qf the lobby." "But my hands are tied said the manager, "Mrs. Tuckerman is prominent socially; and she brings us a. great deal of business." "It's not a question of business," shot back Mrs. Spruks. "It's a question, of whether the American soldier boys have as much right to be represented here as the British. Brit-ish. Besides, the British promised they -would hold off until our campaign cam-paign was over on July 17." The manager wrung his hands, said he would do what he could. Meantime, Mayor LaGuardia innocently inno-cently stepped into the hornet's nest and was asked to settle the argument. But he hastily sidestepped side-stepped with, "Oh, it's all in the game." In- the end Mrs. Tuckerman retreated. re-treated. , I LABOR SCOUTS I A inew figure on the defense horizon is giving the U. S. Employment Em-ployment Service plenty of headaches. head-aches. He is the labor scout. Certain large defense contractors, contrac-tors, desperate for skilled workers, work-ers, have taken a cue from baseball base-ball magnates and are enticing men away from other plants. At least two west coast aircraft plants have full-time "personnel representatives" in the east luring skilled craftsmen with tempting offers of higher wages, more overtime over-time pay and other inducements. Some companies even offer to pay 5' 1 v i 4 .1. . 4L t f - ' c. - ' r J . -" . r rVE Radio-Teleohoto) Aadloed from Berlin to Mew York, with a German-censored caption, this picture purportedly shows German anti-tank troops crouched along a Russian road, awaiting the moment to rush In on a Soviet tank unit for the "kUL" Note flaming tanks in background. -- Senator VJheeljjr.; Criticized for : DcveaHng nbveinents of American TroopHo Iceland WASHINGTON, July - 9 (UEU-Sen.

Worth Clark, D., IdaL, joined .Wheeler, in opposing occupation occu-pation "of Iceland. Clark' said "we are being pushed to the last outposts out-posts in the most clever way." "The law. of th land," he said, "bans the use of troops outside the. western hemisphere, and we have . sent them to Iceland which is a land we have never before considered to be in "the western hemisphere. If we can rationalize our position that way, we can do everything, including the -waging of -war." Wheeler said he believed "the only reason the administration is taking over Iceland is because they .want to get. us into a shooting shoot-ing war, but they will have to have a hell of a series of incidents inci-dents to get this congress to vote a declaration of - war." He argued if public opinion -r would support such a move, the administration would take ovr the Cape y Verde and' Canary Islands , tomorrow." - "However, they can't get , the Portuguese , and the Spanish to invite them in."

This raiding is causing serious complications. The chief sufferers are small factories and machine shops, many of which have frantically fran-tically complained to the government govern-ment that' they will have to close down unless the raids are stopped. So far the employment service has taken no direct action. But it has privately warned some of the big offenders that unless they cease their scouting, the matter will be placed before the OPM for disciplinary action. NOTE: A recent report to the OPM from public employment' offices of-fices puts the skilled labor shortage short-age in a startling ' light. In April and May, 1941, 15 times as many requests for die-designers were received re-ceived as were registered. . The ratio of demand to supply in other oth-er crafts was: tool designers, 16 to 1; shipyard loftsmen, 35 to 1; boat builders, 40 to 1; aircraft woodworkers, 40 to 1; tinplate workers. 49 to 1; aircraft assemblers, assem-blers, 50 to 1; and toolmakers, 12 to 1.
