Knudsen of General Motors and a candidate for the Republican nomination for S.

senator from Vermont, said: Taken all together, the provision of sufficient labor of the required ability is a serious but not an insoluble problem, and it can be most wisely solved by locating the Industries where the labor is, rather than by uprooting families and bringing them to the industries. A great advantage to be obtained by so doing will lie in the prevention of inflation. If industries are concentrated in regions which exceed the labor supply, there will be an inevitable bidding against each other by manufacturers for the labor supply which will in turn raise both the cost of the war material being produced and also of the ordinary goods purchased by the worker himself. This Is the means by which inflation was generated in the last war. The resulting high cost of living and high cost of defense destroyed at onoe the effect of high wages for the worker and enormously increased the indebtedness with which the government was burdened by its war preparation.

The key to this distribution of industries in accordance with the labor supplies lies in such a development of the work of the Federal Employment Bureau as will enable us to keep a current account of the kind, amount and location of existing unemployment. This is one of the first fundamental requirements of a successful defense program, and it is to be presumed that Sidney Hillman, whose responsibilities In the National Defense Council relate to laborf has this matter clearly in his mind."

BOSTON (IP) After three witnesses testified in rendition proceedings against two men wanted at Brattleboro, Vt on grand larceny charges, that they had failed to Identify them In a police line-up.

The appropriation of the old age assistance department was reduced $25,000 for the current fiscal year (plus a similar amount in federal appropriations), due to the insistence of Governor Aiken in the 1939 legislature that the state faced, a deficiency and would be unable to balance its budget.

L. Villaume for out-of -school youth. By The Associated Press Nazi air bombs fell 12 miles from the outskirts of London today, the German high command reported, while in another daring operation a 50-mile-an-hour Nazi torpedo speedboat bounced 60 miles across the English Channel to sink an armed merchant ship near Britains great naval base at Portland.

The Nazi high commands report of this spectacular feat was quickly countered by Britains first lord of the admiralty, A. V. Alexander, who declared the craft was the French ship Meknes with nearly 1,300 French oflicers and men on board en route home to German -conquered France. have Just heard the German high command admit responsibility for this sinking, Alexander told the House of Commons. The boat was' flying the French-flag and had the French colors painted on decks and sides, and was fully iUumlnated.

The Berlin high command said German planes bombed the big British Vickers aircraft factory at Wey-bridge, just 12 miles from London, where the famous Brooklands auto race also is located. The raids came as Britain claimed victory in the first major phase of the five-weeks-old struggle against Nazi conquest of England by repeated, violent attacks on German blitzkrieg bases across the channel and at the same time tightened her blockade of the Reich.

The spokesman said the RAF, although numerically outnumbered by German warplanes, had to a great extent succeeded in breaking down Hitlers scheme for a cross-channel invasion of the British Isles and had made new air 'bases acquired nearer our shores practically untenable.

Those violent, non-stop onslaughts are making the enemy reel under hammer blows, he said. The British report, taken at face value, might at least partially explain the mystery of Hitlers delay in launching his long-threatened on Britain. Another possible reason was advanced by the London Daily Telegraph. Quoting the most reliable neutral sources, the newspaper said a serious difference of opinion among Hitlers advisers was holding up the projected Invasion. Hitlers warplanes nevertheless kept up the bombing of the United Kingdom.

Anti-aircraft guns chattered again on the southeast coast and the sky was reported alive with aircraft as about 80 German raiders swarmed down to attack a merchant convoy In the Ejiglish channel.
