Just before they were purchased, two officers who answered a hank robbery alarm at the others, however, he said, calls for an attitude of aid, friendly counsel and welcome. Some, he pointed out, will not he able to perform former duties, and study and effort must be devoted to each case to find best places for these men. Many who have received specialized training will be capable of filling more important positions.

"They should be given their chance to show their new capabilities," Scandrett said. Other cases, he said, will re. quire time for rest and recuperation, and action for extending the period within which it is necessary to report for duty should be taken. People from all walks of life find the right answers to their personal problems in Mary Ha-worth's advice column in the Morning Tribune.

MILLS Star-Journal Staf Writer Recommendation by the united labor political committee, for appointment of N.

W. Elsberg as city engineer, was approved Monday night by Central Labor union, it was learned today. Two other recommendations, of Rubin Lalz, representative of the Laundry Workers' union, for city clerk, and Al Hanson, member of the board of estimate and laxation and defeated city treasurer candi date, for city assessor, were refer red back to the committee for further consideration." Since Ihe city council Is expect ed to act Friday on election of the four administrative officers under its control, the CLU action on I.ati and Hanson probably wilt mean, it was siiKgeHled today, their candidacies will not he pressed. It appeared likely City Clerk CharTes C. Swanson, City Assessor Edward S.

Gould and, of course, City Attorney R. S. Wig- gin, would he re-elected without much opposition. Despite the recommendation for Elsberg, who resigned as city engineer to become state highway commissioner Jan. 1, 1933, and who has been construction engineer at Twin Cities Ordnance plant during the war, It also appeared probable today that City Engineer Fred T.

Paul would be re-elected. Klsberg lias not indicated whether he would accept the job, hut it was known several of his friends have been making a cam paign in his behalf. At least some of the liberal al dermen have indicated they will refuse to atrept dictation by the united labor and it was expected efforts to invoke unit, rule in the majority caucus in Elsberg's behalf would be vig orously opposed. In order to elect Elsberg, sub stantial support from the conservative aldermen would be necessary, and conservative leaders in dicated the group appeared to be almost solidly behind Paul. In addition In considering the united labor committee recommendations.

Central labor union Monday night unanimously reelected officers and trustees of its political committee. Re-elected were Harold H. Sea- vey, chairman; Viggo Rasmussen, vice chairman; Rubin Latz, secre tary-treasurer; Roy Wier, assist ant financial secretary; Georgiana Merrifield, recording secretary, and George Phillips, sergeant at arms.
