(The Italian communique
broadcast from Rome and record

the Italian garrison had ignored
an allied demand for surrender,
perhaps the prelude to an in

It was also disclosed that Lib

-Besides the blows struck by

RAF's desert force swept in from
the other direction on Monday

this afternoon, after discussion
of internal grange policies de
layed the program this morning
Several resolutions are under
stood to be in on various phases
of the problem of Japanese in

the problem. State Master Mor
ton Tompkins, in his annual mes
sage, called for action by the

PRISON WAR PLANS
SALEM, June 9 VP) The
atate board of control's plans
to establish a vocational train
ing program at the atate prison
ana to obtain war oroduction
contracts for the prison was op
posed louay by the State Feder-
auon of Labor.
D. E. Nickerson, executive
secretary of the federation, op
posed the training program pro
posal on grounds it would fit
convicts for Jobs after their re
lease from prison, and that they
wouia uite jobs from other lab
orers.
"Why should a man who has
committed a crime be given the
break over a man who never
has committed a crime?" Nick
erson asked.
Nickerson, opposing the grant
ing of war contracts to the
prison, said the war is no ex
cuse for allowing prison-made
goods to compete with those
made by free labor.
Nickerson, however, agreed to
appoint a committee to meet
with the board.
Approximately 25,000 lives are
claimed by suicide in the United
States annually.
Our main interest in the pen

about that?"
Ryan, explaining his inspec
tion work covered the concrete
and lumber construction, said
he did not know of the report
given Truman.
Ryan said the parade of
trucks to the fire pit kept up
all the time he was employed
on the project He first esti
mated that an average of 4000
or 8000 feet of lumber were
dumped into the pit but later
revised that down to 1500 to
2000 feet for each truck.
Frozen clods, slate and too
little cement went into the con
crete, he charged, and forms
were improperly constructed,
floors gave way and had to be
torn out and remade at govern
ment expense.
Management Hit
Ryan charged millions of dol
lars of the taxpayers' money
bad been wasted by contractors.
Ryan charged that 20 ter cent
of the man-hour waste was due
to improper management.
"That wouldn't apply to last
October when 1000 were fired
for drunkenness, loafing and
gambling would it?" injected
Senator Ralph O. Brewster of
Maine.
"I saw a lot of loafing, a lot
of gambling and a lot of drink
ing," the witness answered, "but
I consider it no fault of the
worker.
"A fellow getting $135
week would have some excuse
for working wouldn't he?" ask
ed Brewster.
