But it has privately warned some of the big offenders that unless they cease their scouting, the matter will be placed before the OPM for discpili- nary action. NOTE.—A recent report to the OPM from public employment of- fices puts the skilled labor shortage in a startling light. In April and May, 1941, 15 times as many re- quests for die-designers were re- ceived as were registered. The ratio of demand to supply in other crafts was: tool designers, 16 to 1; ship- yard loftsmen, 35 to 1; boat build- ers, 40 to 1; aircraft woodworkers, 40 to 1; tinplate workers, 49 to 1; air- craft assemblers, 50 to 1; and tool- makers, 12 to 1. TOWNSEND VICTCRY Congressinoal Townsendites are congratulating themselves on put- ting over a fast one in getting a special seven-man Senate commit- tee to investigate the operation of the Social Security Act. Senator Sheridan Downey of Cali- fornia, chairman of the committee, has bigger things in mind than merely the announced purpose of examining the old-age pension sys- tem. He isn't advertising it, but he also plans to hold lengthy hear- ings on the Townsend old-age pen- sion plan, which got a rough brush- off in a House committee and faces the same fate in the Senate.

MYSTERY RIDER A mystery man who calmly help- ed himself to a lift in Senator Car- ter Glass' limodsine has the Sen- ator’s office in a terrific dither. Late in the afternoon, while Glass’ chauffeur was waiting outside the Senate office building to take him home, a smartly-dressed, middle- aged ‘man suddenly stepped into the car and settled back comfortably on the back seat. “Take me to the National Press Building,” he com- manded. “There must be some mistake, sir,” said the chauffeur. “This automo- bile belongs to Senator Glass.” kindly suggested that I use his car as I am in a big hurry.” Accepting this explanation, the chauffeur drove off. Ten minutes later Glass stamped up to Capital Policeman Ralph Dunn, demand- ing to know “where in blazes” hfs car and chauffeur had gone.
