October Figure Is 18.5 Above Last Year Before Report Says Employment in Wisconsin manufacturing industries, exclusive of food processing, was 42.300, or 18.5 per cent, higher in October, 345, than in the pre-war year of 1940, according to Community Planning for Jobs and Prosperity, a publication of the Wisconsin Committee for Economic Development. A table in the bulletin showed that employment in the manufacturing industries totalled 228.200 in 1940 as compared with 270,700 in October, 1945.

The October employment total, however, was less than a peak of 376,200 in 1943 and 359.900 in February, 1945. The bulletin stated that manufacturers have quickly reconverted because of planning. ALREADY HUNDREDS of duration workers have left the labor market; scores of workers have returned to the farms where their labor is much needed; hundreds more are returning to the service trades and other occupations from which they were recruited, the bulletin said. Wisconsin industries are now hampered by labor shortage. Their plans call for further expansion.

The bulletin showed that employment in the wholesale trade was 25,000 in October, 1945, as compared with 24.300 in 1940, and that employment in the retail trade totaled 117,600 In October, 1945, as compared with 110,800 in 1940. According to the bulletin, the October increase in the wholesale and retail trades was largely sea sonal. The bulletin declared that local business men can gather heap of confidence from the stability and soundness of Wisconsin agriculture. IT IS A VERY different story from that of 25 years ago, the bulletin said. Wisconsin farmers have learned to plan production according to market outlook, the bulletin stated.

They have done some solid post-war planning and they are adjusting their production to what domestic and foreign markets seem to need. The bulletin outlined Wisconsin farm production prospects for 1946 as follows: No increase of land under the plow, no greater corn acreage, a large oat acreage slightly greater hay acreage, more total feed produced, fewer acres of potatoes, hemp, and soybeans, a few more dairy cows, not many more calves, about the same quantity of milk, and not much change in hog, poultry, and egg produc tion.

149 Woubeta St. the BEST always sells out First Norway Under Rule of Nazis Is escr ibedl 300 Hear Johannson at Madison Vosselag Meet Here Saturday Night Knut Johannson, instructor in the Scandinavian department at the University of Wisconsin, who came here from Norway a few weeks ago, told 300 attending the Madison Vosselag meeting Saturday night in the Insurance building about his experiences as a student of the University of Oslo when the Nazis were in control during the war. The university stood as a symbol of Norwegian liberty, especially spiritual liberty, Johannson said. The Germans hoped to use the university in making Nazis out of the Norwegians, but out of 90 professors only 1 per cent went with the Nazis, and even less than 1 per cent of the students had Nazi leanings, and this, despite the uncertainty that faced students who are dependent upon those in power for jobs after graduation. STUDENTS AT THE university were all arrested and many were sent to Germany, where they were thrown into concentration camps and tortured, with some of them killed.

Many escaped from Norway over the mountains into Sweden, but some were shot by the Germans. who increased the number of guards along the "border. Johannson was among those herded into trains at night and taken on a long ride without knowing where or the reason why. After much abuse, they were released in small groups at intervals. And the university was closed by the Ger mans when it became certain that Norwegian youth would not goose-step in Nazi fashion.

K. A. Rene, president of the Madison Vosselag, retold facts about the war, taken from newspapers and personal letters. Sanford Bergo, who served in the American forces during the war, spoke briefly, being the only one on the program using the American language. He said that he didnt get much from the Norwegian speeches but that he enjoyed the good food at the Vosselag meetings.

Several Norwegian songs were sung by the audience. MR. RENE was re-elected president: Rognvald Larson, vice-president; Mrs. Robert N. Nelson, secretary: and Severt P.

Shelvik, treasurer, all re-elected. Mrs. Roy Nelson was elected pianist. Mrs. Anna Larson, Mrs.

P. O. Boyd and Mrs. Bertine Myrwang were re-elected to the luncheon committee and Ole S. Xinje and Peter Lee were new members elected to this committee.

Luncheon was served, including rommegrot, a distinctly Norwegian dish, cooked from rich cream and topped with sugar and cinnamon.

CmEMIL HAIR TONIC How much Police of Three Cities to Talk On Shooting Local authorities were to confer with Oshkosh and Green Bay police at Beloit this afternoon in continuation of the investigation of the wounding of Policeman Walter E. Randall here early Tuesday. Sheriff Arnold and Police Inspector Morris were to attend a meeting of the executive committee of the Wisconsin Policemens Protective association, where they planned to discuss the case with the Oshkosh and Green Bay members of the committee. Authorities believe the Randall shooting is connected with a series of burglaries and car lootings at Green Bay and a $4,000 tavern holdup at Oshkosh. Evidence so far collected indicates the crimes in the three cities were committed by one gang, according to police.

No further information was secured over the weekend in the questioning of two suspects being held here, and search for two other suspects is being pressed. The suspects being held include a Madison man whose car is believed to have been used by the It Happened Last Night EARL WILSOVh ZW YORK I had some beef-stew on rowdy 8th Av. with Shipwreck Kelly, now 52, whos reconverting to that beloved job of his dreams flagpole sitting. Flagpole sittin is a sweet racket," he told me. 'Youre up there 20 stories, away from everybody, and you got no risk, and you save room rent.

Take parachute jumpin that's still risky. Im in good shape, he said, from shipyard work." Aloysius Anthony Kellys artis- tic soul is griped now. Hes painting the ceiling of Nicky Blairs new Carnival Room, a mere 60 feet up. Its too tame. True, one painter fell off a ladder the other day, but thats all thats happened to enliven the job, and that fellow didnt even hurt himself.

SHI WRECK YEARNS to flagpole sit outside the club. Ill bring you thousands of people, he argued to Nicky Blair. Theyll gape and say, What's he dodgin' his wife, or mother-in-law? He got a taste of the old flagpole-sitting glamor again the other day when he scaled a 17-story stack outside the club to paint over a sign that read, No minimum. ACTOR-LIKE, he'd only do it if Blair came at 9 a. m.

to see him draw crowds. Night Owl Blair hadnt been up at 9 a. m. since the New Years eve he stayed out that late. He sleep-walked over and there they were: hundreds and hundreds.

THE NIGHTS GAG Barbara Weatherby: How dare you meddle with anything educational? You always got the lowest marks in school. Joan Davis I always had two As on my report card. What in? One was in Joan and one was in Davis. But Biairll use Martha Faye, who gets $5,000 a week, the most cabbage ever paid a night club star, as his attraction. Shipwreck'd draw em to the front of the club, but theyd stand there watching him and never go in.

In fact, people'd probably even come OUT to watch him, Blair says. KELLY NEVER got hurt except once when he slipped off a five-foot stepladder and banged his ribs on a paint-bucket. When Ag was 28, he jumped off a plane ig, without parachute, at a lake, jfnissed the lake by 20 feet. He Jed feet first but didnt even flat feet out of it. SHIPWRECK is a lesson to all country boys and girls.

But how well do I know a jockey or a horse? BENNY BAKER, the plump Shakespearean actor, shocked everybody by announcing hed found an apartment (this was during an appearance at the Negro Actors Guild benefit). Yeah, I just got a wonderful sublet, he said. We wont be able to move into it till March.

Its a coal bin. DANNY KAYE, just back from Japan, says for once he saw Leo the Lip Durocher speechless when they flew over Hiroshima and saw w'hat happened. ABE BURROWS, the genius, who's finally been persuaded to publish his satirical songs (under the title The Girl With the Three Blue Eyes) was induced to do it curious reasoning. He explains: (Td. never written these songs yiown.

I was carrying them around in my head. It wds about time I wrote them down, because what happens if my head gets cut off? I wont remember them. HONEST, THIS happened: An army major returned to the hotel hed worked for before going into service, and talked about going back to work.

he must have liked wedding cake! Ed thinks it must have killed them about 1915. THIS LITTLE STORY about Jerome "Kern may have been inspired, to some degree, by the emotion of the moment. But his daughter, Betty Kern, told friends its true. The great composer, who came from an excellent farmily on the upper East Side, loved the East river. In California he spoke of seeing it again.

He collapsed while he was en route to the East Side waterfront, and he died with his face turned toward the East window and toward the East river itself. As he died, the whistling of three tugboats, out on the East river, was faintly heard. BING CROSBYS been lending Joe Frisco one $20 after another to go to the races, and Joe didnt pay them back. Finally at Santa Anita, Joe got on a long shot, and won a bundle. He began treating everybody at the bar, and soon a mob was around him.

Joseph would have broken down completely.

his brother, Dominick said, if hed stayed here. So we just let him stay long enough to see the Virgin on the 17 nights she told him to come, and the next day we sent him away. Hed lost 12 pounds and his face looked 10 years older. L. S.
