INTERNATIONAL
LONDON, Feb. 6.—President
Roosevelt, because of problems
demanding his attention in
Washington, has declined an
invitation of King George IV
and Queen Elizabeth to be their
guest, along with Mrs. Roose
velt, at Buckingham palace af
► ' "ter the “big three” meeting,
well informed sources said to
night. It was proposed that the
President spend four days at
Buckingham palace and that
Mrs. Roosevelt should fly from
the United States to join him.
LONDON, Feb. 6.—Germans
were told by their own propa
ganda spokesmen tonight that
the Russian offensive could not
be stopped at present, while
Moscow broadcasts called on
Berliners to revolt and spare
their city “because no miracle
can save Berlin any more.” Col.
Ritton von Schramm, DNB
commentator, said “more terri
. • tory will have to be yielded to
r further penetrating Russian
masses and in general they still
have the initiative.” But he
added: “German countermeas
ures are beginning to be felt
and the Russians have not yet
achieved their main strategical
aim — the smashing of the
^ German armies which would
" have resulted in quick, tragic
defeat.”
BERN, Feb. 6. — New arriv
als from Germany reported to
day that tremendous new
stocks of supplies were being
poured into mountain strong
holds in the Munich area,
where Adolf Hitler is prepar
ing a last - ditch defense when
Berlin and northern Germany
are conquered. Gestapo chief
Heinrich Himmler, these sour
ces said, will join Hitler in his
mountain - top stronghold at
Berchtesgaden after he con
ducts the defense of Berlin. He
will aid in the commland of
thousands of fanatical Nazis
expected to fight to the last to
f defend the fuehrer. These trav
elers from Berlin and other
parts of the Reich, who bring a
fantastic array of rumors, re
port, facts and half-truths,
I' said that some leading Nazis
wei£ expected to flee or bar
gain for their freedom, but that
preparation fdr the last stand
was going forward at top speed.
Civilian transport around Mun
ich has practically ceased and
the normal food supply is dis
rupted, these sources said.
LONDON, Feb. 6. — It, was
disclosed definitely today that
the “big three” actually are in
conference, and the expecta
tion was expressed in informed
quarters in London that Presi
dent Roosevelt, Prime Minister
Churchill, and Premier Stalin
might already have tackled the
thorny problem of halting fu
turq aggression. Sir Walter

To See If They Adhere To
. Regulations As To The
Hiring of Workers
IS TO BE STATE-WIDE
The War Manpower Commis
sion in North Carolina is moving
out immediately on the ' Byfnea’
Directive by making a State-wide
check on employers as pa' their
adherence to Wile regulations in
the Ijirihg of workers, maintain^
ing approved em&lOsfiherit ceilings
and turnover allowances,, states
WMC Area Director Phil W.
Grandjean for the Piedmont area.
WMC-USBS Compliance Offi
cers are now busily engaged
checking employment records of
all essential and non-essential
employers to determine if their
workers have been hired in ac
cordance with WMC directives.
No stone will be left unturned to
find out if hiring, ceilings, and
stabilization procedures have been
followed.
The employer should have in
[his files a USES referral card,
Form 508, for all male workers on
his pay roll.
Female workers from out of the
area or last employed in essential
work must have been hired either
by a referral of the USES or a
Statement of Availability from
their last employer, i
For female workers just enter
ing the labor market and those
hired from non-essential employ
ment, employers must have a Cer
tificate of Prior Employment.
Veterans of World War II are
exempt from these controls and
have freedom of movement in
their choice of jobs. (The WMC
defines a veteran to be a person
discharged from the armed forces
subsequent to December 7, 1941).
Mr. Grandjean asks the coop
eration of all employers who may
have lost workers to other firms
without proper clearance in order
that Compliance officers may help
locate any such workers. When
workers are found to be hired in
non-compliance, they will either
be returned to their former em
ployers or they will be required
to secure proper clearance.. Mr.
Grandjean urgently requests em
ployers to report such violations
to him or to the compliance Offi
cers or to telephone or write their
nearest U. S. Employment Service
Office in order that each case
may be thoroughly investigated.
