U(k Trained Men to
fill Them.
CHICAGO, HI., Feb. 12.—A serious
shortage in skilled labor, due to
the business up-trend, was reported
today by the nation's industrial ex
ecutives. Though hundreds of tech
nical Jobe were opening, trained
men oould not be found to fill (
them, a 3-day oonference of busi-1
ness leaders disclosed. The short
age was described as most acute in
the automobile and machine trades
although it was felt by Industry In
general. The situation was summed
Up by Alvin Dodd of New York,
executive vice president of the
Amerloan Managers association,
sponsor of the oonference on per
sonenl and Industrial relations
problems:
‘Industry Is facing a serious
eoftage of skilled workers,” he
said. “The pinch is already being
’ felt and will grow more acute as
1 business continues on the up
3 grade."
The labor shortage , discussed
by 700 executives at the conference
_* w»* due largely, Dodd said,
to the eocnomlc crisis that threw
out of good jobs
or onto relief rolls.
When skilled work was offered
thorn again both the re-employed
and the unemployed were dulled to
did tasks. TO oars for this situation
Add prevent its recurrence Dodd
•aid industry was beginning to
mite it must accept a social se
ourity along these lines:

Man Who Spoke Historic Phrase
Is In News Highlights Again
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—Briga
dier-General Manua McCloskey—
the man who spoke the historic
World war words "retreat? hell no,
we Just got here I "—is in the news
again.
Veterans recalled McCloskey's col
orful career when they learned that
Senator Reynolds, democrat. North'
Carolina, was conducting a fight—
so far unsuccessful—to have the
general promoted.
On the senate floor last week,
Reynolds accused the secretary 6f
war of discriminating against Mc
Cloakey by falling to recommend his
promotion to major-general recent
ly when younger officers were se
lected for advancement to that
rank.
Reynolds at fl objected to sen
ate approval of .ne other promo
tions, but withdrew his pro.est when
It was explained that army regu
lations prohibit the promotion of
officers to major-general when their
retirement .is less than two and a
half years off.
McCloskey, 42 years an artillery
man, and now commander of Fort
Bragg. N. C., will reach the retire
ment age of M in April, 1030.
A report In the army archives,
signed by Brigadier-General James
G. Harbord, tells how McCloskey,
then a cc.?.-.»1, spoke the seven
words that won him tame.
It was June 3, 1918 and the
Germans had launched a mass at
tack that bent the French line. Mc
Closkey’s battery took a position be
twen Rerme De Parts and Ferme
D'Issonge to relieve French field
artillery.
“In plain view of the German ob
servers in their balloons and under
a heavy shell fire. Colonel McClos
key posted his guns In the positions
being vacated by the French so he
might have the advantage of their
firing data . . .
"The commander of the French
regiment remonstrated with Colonel
McCloskey.
“ 'It is impoA:ible to remain here,'
he said. ’Surely, you are going to
retrat?’
"•Retreat? Hell, Nol We just got
here,' answered the American ar
tiHerymanV*
The bulldtng boom, which has
been .current in Buenos Aires for
several years, continued unabated
through 1935, according to reports
to the department of commerce.
Charlie Hamby, of Atlanta, Is
credited with firing the smallest
yards, all within an inch circle.

McDonald Criticises Hoey
On All Issues Of *'‘Opener”
By J. C. BASKERVILL
RALEiGH, Feb. 12.—The address
of Clyde R. Hoey last Thursday
night, In which he outlined for the
first time his position on various
s.ate issues in his campaign for the
democratic nomination for governor
“was the voice of the Ehrlnghaus
Gardner regime” and has served to
outline six major issues in the
campaign, Dr. Ralph W. McDonald,
one of the other three candidates
for governor said here today in an
exclusive interview with this cor
respondent. He did not list the li
quor question as one of these issues,
since all three of the major candi
dates have already "passed the
buck” on thp liquor question to-the
1937 general assembly, McDonald
continued.
“The first issue in' the campaign,
in the light of Mr. Hoey’s speech,
is now the perpetuation of the Gard
ner-Ehringhaus machine, with its
train of appointees and preferred,
groups," McD-nald said. “Such an
able defense of the present (Ehring
haus) administration as Mr. Hoey
gave can mean only one tiling: the
continuance of its machinery and
the furtherance of its trend to
wards the short ballot.
Hits Tax Stand
“The second issue is taxation. Mr.
Hoey, like Lieutenant Governor A.
H. Graham (a third candidate for
tiie nomination for governor), would
..eep the sales tax under the false
cloak of an 'emergency measure.’
Mr. Hoey made it perfectly clear
that he would not undertake to
| bother weal.h by seeking from the
major corporatiofis and wealthy in
dividuals their fair share of the
tax burden. If the schools are to re
ceive more money and if old age
itnsions are to be granted, as even
Mr. Hoey agrees should be done,
Mr. Hoey makes it perfectly clear
hat he would go to but one place
to get the extra revenue needed:
'the tax-ridden poor of North Car
olina.
“The third issue is public educa
tion. This Is tne omy issue on wnlch
Mr. Hoey's statements ire utterly
meaningless. No one need imagine
that Mr. Hoey is going to advocate
getdng any more taxes from wealtn
with which to increase the school
fund. The poor of this state are
already paying their full share ol
the school cost and a large share
which should be borne by wealth.
Therefore, Mr. Hoey’s call for re
capturing lost ground in education
is of the same quality as the high
sounding educational speeches of
Governor ghringhaus four years
ago. Other than to take a stand for
‘unified control' of the school, which
he makes unconcincing by shoving
it into the future constitutional
amendment, Mr. Hoey stays in the
realm of the indefinite and the gen
eral, so far as the schools are con
cerned.
“Instead of condemning the ac
.ion of the sales tax leaders in 1933
when they cut the school funds of
the state by the greatest proportion
ate amount ever recorded, Mr. Hoey
actually defends that action. So
his statement with regard to the
schools points to but one conclu
sion: he means to continue the Eh
ringhaus-MacLean philosophy of
educational thinness.
Flays Liberty League
“The fourth issue is Liberty lea
gueism, the internal cancer of the
democratic party, an issue which
Mr. Hoey makes very poin.ed by
omission. If Mr. Hoey really be
lieves in the new deal, he would be
filing to Join with us in driving
the money chnagers out of the tem
ple by expurgating the democratic
party of Liberty leagueism in high
places.
"The fifth issue concerns the
piesent unbalanced budget, the huge
cash surplus, the exorbitant inter
est rates on state and local bonds,
the favoritism to bondholders and
speculators which has yielded $191,
000,000 to their gain in three years.
"The sixth Issue is the automo
! bile license fee, a definite stand on
which Mr. Hoey evades with the
superb skill of a political artist.”
