DISABLED VETS Polish Toolmaker Teaches How to Make Handmade Precision Metal Dies Haiel Hartiog United Press Correspondent Los Angeles (U.R) Witt Juni per, a gentle-eyed Pole who learned the fine art of toolmak ing two score years ago in Riga, today was teaching his trade to disabled war veterans in a pro ject in "social" engineering. In his modest one-story frame machine shop, the Juniper Tool Works, Juniper's experienced helpers are turning out hand made precision metal dies and molds to help win the war. Working beside these experi enced craftsmen are crippled veterans of this war, learning the trade but not as appren tices, they are journeymen. And that is Juniper's program to teach these young men a profitable and useful trade, at the same time paying them wages sufficient to support them and their families adequately. Prefer Trade ' "Doubly handicapped r with out means of making a decent living and without arms and legs and hands and eyes too often they hobble off and the dream of their youth dies in per haps a night-watchman's job," Juniper explains. "The Gl-Joe 'bill of rights' gfves many lads the chance to go to college and learn a pro fession. But every fellow doesn't want a college education. Many would have liked to be journey men in the traditional trades printers, machinists, toolmakers, diemakers, jewelers, tailors and so on through the whole list of skilled and honorable callings without which society could not function. "Now it's a fact that the gov ernment doesn't provide much of an opportunity for service men really to learn these voca tions for the trades hold out no ready welcome to vocational school journeymen. And, besides, many a lad has married, and he now cannot afford to go through a long, low paid apprenticeship in a shop." Juniper's plan laid out like One of his blueprints would solve this problem. "It would pay our debt to these men and it would provide them with training so that they can carry on our skills." Hopes Idea Spreads Juniper would like to see ivory craftsman in America with sufficient plant capacity to. place crippled veterans on the payroll as journeymen and teach them the trade. He's doing it now and he's looking for five more medically discharged servicemen who want to learn the trade. Juniper is con fident, too, that he will be able to provide jobs for more vet erans because his business in cludes making molds for the new plastic industry. Juniper was apprenticed to a tool master when he was 14. He came to the United States many years ago and has had his own business since 1928. He has two sons. One, Gran ville, 24, a musician, was per manently crippled in the Cana dian commando raid on Dieppe In 1942. Thi other, Gordon, 19, a master toolmaker, is now fight ing with the Canadian army in France. During the year 1941, the na tion produced 375,000,000 pounds of powder and explo sives; in 1942 the figure increas ed to nearly two billion pounds; and in 1943 the nation produced over three billion pounds.

CIO HEAD LAUDS IDATE Portland,' Ore., Oct. 12 (U.R) Richard Frankensteen, vice pres ident of the CIO United Auto mobile Workers union, today left Portland after a brief appear ance before the Oregon state in dustrial union council in which he praised Wayne Morse, Repub lican nominee for the U. S. sen ate, and ridiculed Thomas E. Dewey, Republican nominee for president. Referring to Morse, whom the council had endorsed despite some factional demands for a straight Democratic ticket, Frankensteen said: "I don't think you could make a better choice. I served with Morse on the war labor board and I would be willing to let him cast the only vote on any ques tion. By endorsing Morse you have served notice that the CIO is not a tail to the kite of the Democratic party." He said the late Wendell Willkie did not endorse Dewey "because he knew Thomas Dew-1 ey was Daa lor America.

Mrs. Eugene Smith, who Prosecutor William E. Dowling said this morning had confessed kidnaping four months' old Rob ert King to rear as her own, made the denial to four re porters whom police permitted to interview her at headquar ters. "Did you confess to Mr. Dowl ing that you kidnaped the baby?" she was asked. The prisoner looked blankly at her questioner for a moment, then replied softly: "No." "Didn't you make any kind of a statement to him?" "I made a statement. But 1 didn't make, a confession." Newsmen asked her about a statement from police inform ant who said he had heard Mrs. Smith call the baby "Robert" before she was arrested. "That's a lie," Mrs. Smith as serted. "The baby's name is Eugene Smith." The prisoner refused to an swer many other questions put to her, staring blankly at the reporters instead. Garbed in blue and white striped jail uniform, Mrs. Smith appeared much younger than her years. She is tall, full-fig ured and, although her skin is light, her nose, lips, eyes, and hair are characteristic of the negro race. LT. SHULL SERVICES SATURDAY AFTERNOON Services for 2nd Lt. Keith R.
