No Manpower Shortage For This Restaurant NEW YORK, Feb. 25. WV-The proprietor of a new restaurant in Union Square suffered tonigbt from an abundance of cashiers and union contracts.

Alfred Seits signed a contract with the CIO to supply the two cashiers he needed. It did. Then, he said, the AFL picketed the establishment. So he signed an AFL contract too. Under this arrangement, the picket line was withdrawn and he hired a $35-a-week AFL cashier In addition to the others, he said.

Now Seits finds that sometimes he has three cashiers at once at mid-day when the two OIO cashiers' hours overlap while the AFL cashier also is there. Seits said he would try to solve the problem by discharging the two from the CIO and hiring one more from the AFL. Asked how he expected the CIO to re-aet to that plan, he recited: "Mister, I dont know; 111 Just have to await the outcome."

Feb. 25. VP) vice Admr. Randall Jacobs, chief of the bureau of naval personnel, told a Navy pre-fught graduation class here today "We are atill a long, long way from Tokyo." "I am told that some of you are concerned." he said, the major part of the fighting at tea will over before you are ready for duty. This concern li unwarranted.

No officer with whom I have talked who has come to grips with the enemy, expect anything but a bitter struggle of mounting ferocity. Gradually we are assuming the offensive but we are still a long, long way from Tokyo." Indicative of the preparedness for that struggle, Jacobs said, there are bout 75.000 prospective naval officers training under the V-12 program at 241 universities and colleges, and other thousands yet to be selected will enter training this year. -u Referring to recent naval action In the Pacific in which the U. S. fleet has heavily battered Japan's outer defenses, Jacobs said the enemy claimed we were conducting a "leap in the dark offensive by lacing confidence in our quantlta-ve superiority," and added: "Yes.

the Navy preffcrs overwhelming superiority in the number of ships, guns, planes and trained personnel to be directed at any given objective. Wars are decided by force massed and handled effectively. For the enemy's information, however, the Navy also relies on a not-so-secret weapon: the proven superior confidence and military initiative of American officers and men."

Cory right led the house turn against the president on the tax issue, while congressional experts called the bill a $2,315,000,000 measure, Mr. Roosevelt, who had asked for $10,500,000,000 in new taxes, calculated its net return would be less than $1,000,000,000. Security Tax same The president offset against the congressional total $1400,000.000 which would be collected It the present one per cent social secrulty tax were doubled. The bill continues the "tax at the present rate whereas, without it. the rate would have doubled automatically under existing legislation.

But in addition to the measure's failure to attain his revenue goals, major objections raised by the pres ident included changes in tax laws such as one allowing returns from sale of timber to be treated as a capital gain rather than Income. He estimated they would reduce treas ury income $150,000,000 a year and said they would set unwise prece dents. Mr. Roosevelt cited these changes when he said in his veto message that the bill was a "tax relief bill for the relief not of the needy bat of the ereedy" the language which Infuriated many legislators who had labored on the measure for months.
