So far, they said, military calls for reservists and national guardsmen have made only a dent in the labor market. But they said the impact will begin to be felt next month when guardsmen and reservists start reporting In large numbers. A United Press survey of big Industrial centers showed that many, defense industries already are hiring skilled workers to re place those who expect to be call ed Into the services. Two Detroit and Pittsburgh already have only a small reservoir of skilled laborers available. The labor department does hot expect anything like the big man power shortages that developed during world war II. But one key official said "serious shortages unquestionably will develop In many areas."

The memorial was dedicated yesterday by Gov. Douglas Mc Kay of Oregon and Col. Karl C. Frank, San Francisco, represent ing the 6th army. About 500 per sons attended the ceremonies around a stone monument erected : by the Weyerhaeuser -'Timber company on one of its tree farms where a minister's wife and five church school' children were kill ed May 5, 1945, in the explosion of a Japanese balloon bomb. Gov. McKay, who likened the Korean fighting to Pearl Harbor, called for tighter continental de fenses. Col.
