Kjs?olihrs reaction to this plan was anything but enthusiastic. Aside from the ignominy of with drawing from Italy's proposed field of conquest Africa II Duce argued that Italian troops could not stand Russian winters. They would die of pneumonia in such a rigorous cli mate. Whether Mussolini finally agreed is not known. Note: The Nazi plan apparently is to put 250,000 Hungarian troops in the Russian trenches during the winter; plus 200,000 Rumanians; plus about 50,000 Slovaks and about 500, 000 Italians. The German army during the winter would be reduced to a mere skeleton of about 100,000 men. e NEW IMPRESSIONS Washington newsmen, after see ing Roosevelt twice a week for eight years, have only dull impressions when they walk into a press confer ence. A fresh impression comes from Jack Moffitt, ace Hollywood reporter, who saw the President the other day for the first time. "There was charm in the setting," Moffitt said. "The mementoes on his desk indicate a man of imagina tion who can extract pleasant mem ories from past experiences . . . He costumes well. Hoover's choker collar became a symbol of Tory America. Coolidge dressed like a small town banker. Roosevelt avoids the foppish, but hits a cer tain suburban ease in his dress which sells quickly to the public. "He was impressive in handling himself. There was ease and frank ness, and a quickness in response to questions. He was at all times master of the interview. "I was struck by his paleness and the lines in his face, contradicting the smirk I've seen in a thousand cartoons. If I were a casting di rector, looking for an actor for this part, I'd cast him as a man who is working hard under great strain." UNDER WAR SECRETARY Newsmen sat three deep around a long polished table in the new war department building. They fired questions at the man with a sun tanned face sitting at the head of the table. He was the under secre tary of war. What's a T-6 tank like? ... Are M-3 tanks available for the maneu vers? . . . Did the French find the 75 mm. tank gun effective? . . . What is the altitude range of the 90 mm. anti-aircraft gun? ... Is the army in Iceland? . . . What do you think about the Russian resistance? He ducked the last two questions, but answered all the technical ques tions with the assurance of a soldier trained all his life in ordnance. But he isn't a life-long soldier. He is a lawyer, an ex-circuit court judge, who scarcely a year ago was concerned with such non-military subjects as the reorganfzation of the New York subway. This was a press conference with the under secretary of war, Robert P. Patterson. A judge in 1940, he is a soldier in 1941, with a complete grasp of the technical information of his job. MERRY-GO-ROUND The President is wearing a black four-in-hand tie these days, as well as the black armband. Latest addition to Roosevelt's trinket-laden desk is a white porce lain figure of Churchill with a cigar in his mouth. OPM has a defense job waiting for movie star Marlene Dietrich as soon as her broken ankle is mended. They want to use her glamoroul gams (legs) to publicize cotton stock ings for women, made necessary by. the shutting off of Japanese silk. WINCHELL (Continued from l'ag 1) Seed C. H.

It takes about nineteen years to be come that beautiful and then it takes the public about one week to forget her name. The U.

Just loves parad ing around his hotel room, on the hottest days, in his long underwear. The following demonstration helped to precipitate the present Norwegian mess: Goebbels was eager to do something to eliminate the anti-Nazi feeling among the Nor wegians, so he moved the entire Berlin opera company up to Oslo for an elaborate performance . . . Tickets were put on sale at bargain prices, and tremendous publicity ac companied their sale . . . The next day the house was sold out . . . Goebbels was in the honor box along with high Nazi officials . . . They waited and waited, but no audience . . . Later a handful of stragglers appeared ... All the rest of the tickets had been bought by anti Nazi Norwegians. Memos of a Midnighter: Fred Astaire, the Tip-Tap-Toer, time stepping down Vth Avenue during lunch-time with a flock of stenogs giggling behind him and was the suave star embarrassed . . .

Lang, formerly of Beau fort, now salesman for Calvert Distillers Corporation, .went to New York City for the annual sales conference held on Septem ber 27th at the Commodore Hotel. Winners in the company's CDC educational contest will be an nounced at the meeting. Top Cal vert executives, including W. W. Wachtel, president, will address the meeting at which promotional and marketing plans for the com ing year will be discussed. Employers Urged To Give Returning Soldiers A Job Urging the cooperation of ev ery employer in the State of North Carolina to see that every return ing soldier has a job when he gets home, General J. Van B. Metts State Director of Selective Ser vice, today also announced that the Selective Service System will give the same assistance in finding jobs for all men completing their terms of service in the Regular .Avmy, Navy or Marine Corps as it docs to its own selectees and mem r.eis of the National Guard. Director Metts pointed out that while the Selective Service Sys tem, with the cooperation of the War Department and the State Employment Office, has inaug urated a carefully studied and or ganized program to obtain civilian jobs for returning soldiers, tho complete cooperation of all em ployers is a vital requirement for its successful operation, he said: "It is not merely a question of obligation imposed by law that Selective Training and Service Act requires former employers of returning soldiers to restore them to their former positions or to po sitions of like seniority, status and pay. It is a moral and patriotic re sponsibility of all employers to make certain that these men who have made sacrifices to fit them selves for the armed defense of our liberities be protected them selves from any unnecessary hard ships. "This means that every former employer of a refusing soldier should not only see that he !. promptly reinstated in his former job, or an equivalent one, but als-:- should endeavor to give jobs to as many as possible of those who do not have jobs awaiting them. And that same spirit of patriotic coop eration should extend to every em ployer, regardless of whether or not any teturning soldier was for merly employed by him." With direct reference to the ob ligation of former employers to re instate returning soldiers who were former employees, Director Metts pointed out that there can be no uncertainty concerning the mandate. "The law," he said, "makes it mandatory for the employer to re store a returning soldier ot his for mer position, or a position with like seniority, status and pay, 'un less the employer's circumstances have so changed as to make it im possible or unreasonable to do so'." And he stressed that the mere abolishment of a position because the employer had reorganized his business does not remove the obli gation. "The only type of undue hard ship contemplated by the law," the Director declared, "which could be sufficient to relieve an employer of this responsibility must result from outside circum stances beyond the control of the employer. These circumstances must be such as to impose an un reasonable financial burden upon the employer not merely an in convenience. Director Metts stated, however. that reports from local boards in dicated that the vast majority of North Carolina employers of se lectees and other returning sold iers have the disposition to exceed rather than evade their obligation under the law. He is confident, hy said, that North Carolina indus trialists and employers generally will cooperate with the Selective System and the State Employment Offices to see that every man from the State who has served faithfully in the Nation's armeu forces will obtain a job when I., comes home.
