COM~PLAINTS OF 'WASTED
MANPOWER'
The fathers' draft has brought on
a new series of complaints about
"wasted manpower" in the armed
services stationed in the U. S. A.
Pending a call to action, a feeling ~
of idleness and waste becomes a
demoralizing factor. The men on
the home front generally suffer most
from the age-old service disease of
"just waiting around."
The type of thing that happens in
the waiting period is illustrated in
a confidential survey made at the
naval dirigible station at Lakehurst,
N. J., which brought forth the fol-
lowing facts.
1. The navy uses 100 to 115 men
to handle a blimp when it lands,
whereas Goodyear handles the same
blimp with 15 civilians.
2. As at many shore stations, duty
usually consists of 24 hours on, then
24 hours "stand-by (which means
waiting around to see if anything
happens), then 24 hours liberty.
Then this is repeated. Many men
complain that the 24 hours of loafing
at stand-by could be used for some
constructive type of work.
3. More than 1,000 civilians are
employed to recondition ships at
high rates of pay, while enlisted men
who could do the job and need the
training lie around idle.
4. A high wire fence, guarded by
armed sailors, surrounds Lakehurst.
Then, inside the fence, a marine
guards the outside of each hangar.
2~hen, inside the hangar, two civil-
ians also stand guard.
5. The Lakehurst commissary,
which handles about 10O customers
per day, is staffed to handle about
1,000. It has 10 clerks, 2 commis-
sioned officers and 1 cashier. Any
civilian groceryman plus an assist-
ant could easily hanc~le the whole
business.
Multiply Lakehurst's wasted man-
power by the navy's many other
shore stations and it runs into thou-
sands of men.
Note: The men themselves are
not to blame. Most of them chafe
at inactivity, want to see action.
Effect on the Men.
One significant indication of how
glutted the navy is with manpower
is in the boot-training camps, de-
signed to transform a civilian-into a
sailor. This training used to last
three weeks. Now it has been run.
ning four months or more. And aft-
er finishing this boot-training, thou-
sands of men lie around for months
in OGU's (outgoing units) awaiting
assignment to a school or other ac-
tivity.
In the past year, also, many en-
listed men come to the conclusion
that navy schools are being main-
tained mainly for the purpose of
keeping them occupied.
Slump in Draft Quotas.
Most significant fact about the
manpower situation is that, all last
summer, the army and navy were
getting less than the quota of men
they requested from the draft
boards, but did not complain. Few
people outside the government real.
ized it, but even at the time the
fathers' draft was tinder vigorous
discussion on Capitol Hill, the army
and navy were not complaining
about the failure of draft boards to
fill the quotas.
During the first months of 1943,
draft boards overfilled their quotas.
But in April, they began to slump
off. In that month, the army-navy
asked for 334,000 men but actually
got only 299,000. This would not have
been significant ff it had occurred in
one month only. But in May, the
services asked Selective Service for
303,000 men, got only 264,000. How-
ever, there was no complaint from
either the army er navy.
Again, in June, the services asked
for 320,000 men, but got only 288,000.
In July, they asked for 355,000 but
got only 289,000, only slightly more
than the June figure despite the fact
that the quota requested by the
army and navy had been increased.
In August, the army-navy request
dropped to 299,000, and the draft
boards supplied only 221,000 men, a
scant 75 per c.ent of the number
asked for. In September, the army-
navy quota" was 313,000 men, but
they got only 214,000 or 70 per cent
of what they asked for.
However, at no time did the
armed services make any protest.
They seemed content to coast along
with what the draft boards were giv-
ing them.
This was all during the period
When the father-draft was under
serious discussion and when the ad.
ministration was taking a vigorous
stand that fathers had to be drafted.
What the answer is, no one quite
knows. Highup army-navy officers
probably know but won't talk. How-
ever, the Truman committee may
ask some potent questions.

EVENT/OF THE WEEK
TfllLOUGI(OUT THE ,fTATE
TOLD IN BRIEF FORM
Reunion After
40 Years Held
DEVILS LAKE -- Four boys se-
parated in 1904 were reunited here
a few ~eeks ago. They were separt-
ed when their father, David B.
Christie, who was a member of the
police force in Winnipeg, Canada
was reported killed in a railroad
accident. Under Canadian law, the
children were turned over to the
Children's Aid Society--that is
three of them were, Morris, John,
Leslie and a sister, Anne--and
were adopted by Canadian families.
James, a baby, was hidden by the
mother in a clothes b.~.~ket when
the officials came. Shortly after the
children had been adopted, the fa-
ther returned to Winnipeg, having
wandered away from the scene of
the wreck suffering from shock. He
had been reported dead through a
case of mistaken identity. Reunited
the parents set out to find the
whereabouts of their children, but
were unable to do so. They brought
James with them and moved to
Grand Forks, where Ted was born.
Two years later they moved here.
The search for ~he children contin-
ued and soon Leslie was found and
Joined the family here. Anne was
also found and came here where
she later married. John was discov-
ered in 1915 and came here, la~er
going to California and then to
Honolulu. Morris, after years of ef-
fort, traced the family and came to
Devils Lake in 1932. However, the
mother had ~ed in 1~15 shortly
after John's return. Until the re-
union, Morris and John had not
seen each other since they separat-
ed in 1904. Morris, John Leslie and
Anne were born in England where
their father as a schoolboy had
been a playmate of C. Aubrey
Smith, motion picture actor. James
was born on the boat enroute to
Canada. For the reunion, John came
from Honolulu and Morris from
Canada, where he is with the Can-
adian army. Ted and Leslie are
both residents of Devils Lake.

Minot Jap Enlists
[n U. S. Army
MINOT -- Tokie Slocum, former
Minot resident, who was a sergeant
major in World War I is back in
Uncle Sam's uniform vgain as a
staff ~sergeaut in the present war.
He says maybe he'll be used for
target practice to keep up our
boys' morale, and he hopes that one
day he may be in the victorious
on Tokyo. Sgt. Slocum
whose name was Tokutaro Nishi-
mura, was adopted as a child by
the A. P. Slocum family of Minor.
Slocum, because of his Japanese
origin appeared frequently in print
during the early days of the pres-
ent war. He spoke frequently in
Los Angeles and suburban cities in
favor of loyalty to America by Jap-
anese residents in this country. At
one time he was given protection
by federal officers from other Jap-
anese. He also testified in Washing-
ton before a congressional commit-
tee investigating disloyalty among
the Jap population in the west.
Goes To Alaska
To Study Aud Stays
BISMARCK -- William L. Dar-
den of this city went to Alaska in
]934 as a naturalist and was so fas-
cinated by the land he stayed there
eight years. During that time he
travelled extensively during both
Ithe summer and winter. He made
pictures, wrote and made observa-
tions. Darden sees a great future for
Alaska, which he points out is al-
most one-fifth the size of the Unit-
ed States, with more acres of fer-
tile soil waiting for the settlers'
plow than all of Norway, Sweden
and Denmark.
