DISABLED VETS
Polish Toolmaker Teaches
How to Make Handmade
Precision Metal Dies

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

"because he knew Thomas Dew-1

NEGRO INSISTS
IS
Detroit, Oct. 12 OI.Rl-r-A 33-yeav-old
negro woman described
by authorities as a "psycho
pathic case" calmly denied to
reporters today that she had
confessed abducting the child
of her white employes, and in
sisted that the baby identified
by Mr. and Mrs. Clarence King
as their war, instead, her son.
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.
