Cutbacks in War
Production Fail
to Affect Seattle
SEATTLE, June 1 (UPF
While other Pacific coast citicB
wnrrv about ' Droductlon ' shifts
and cutbacks, Seattle has rolled
out the welcome mat for more
than 20,000 urgently-needed War
workers.
Seattle's chips already were
down on the two mainstays of
the Pacific war program B-20
production and ship repair. So
cutbacks haven t toucnea ousy
plants around Puget Sound.
Labor shortages, not unemploy
ment, is the problem he're today.
. Workers Await Housing
The turnover rate hasn't in
creased since V-E day. But em
ployers are scratching harder 'to
find replacements. Help wanted
signs still appear in factory and
store windows. Thousands of
new war housing units are un
der construction, and the wait
ing last is eight weeks' long at
the old ones.
War plant officials believe a
large percentage of unemployed
California and Oregon workers
can be absorbed in the ScattK'-Tacoma-Bremerton
area. Of the
20,000 needed workers, 12,507 arc
wanted for ship repair and con
struction, and the quota may
boom to 18,000. The remainder
represents needs in aircraft in
dustries, army-riavy installations
and essential civilian businesses.
Ship repair yards have calls
out for 9,146 laborers. More than
0,000 are needed at the Bremer
ton navy yard alone, where 30,
000 workers already are em
ployed. Seattle shipbuilders Weren't
hit by cuts on new tonnage. Es
cort carriors and destroyers are
built in this area, both top-prior-ilied
for the Pacific war.

Truman Says Japs
Must Quit War
Or Be Destroyed
(Continued from Page'l)
dwindling supplies to meet our
next attack."
"If the Japanese insist on
continuing a-ealstanc . beyond
the point of reason." he told
congress, "their country will
suffer the same destruction as
Germany.,
"Our blowB will destroy their
whole modern industrial . plant
and organization! ' which they
have built up during the past
century and which they are now
devoting to. a hopeless cause.
"We have no desire or inten
tion to destroy or enslave the
Japanese people. But only sur
render can prevent the kind of
ruin which they have seen come
to Germany as a result of con
tinued, useless resistance."
Face Great Jap Army
While describing this nation as
"now at the peak of its military
strength," the president sobered
any optimism which might be
attached to his report by an
nouncing "we have not yet come
up against the main strength" of
Japanese military force of 4,000,
000 troops under arms arid, sever
al million additional men of mili
tary age who have not yot been
called to the colors.
He; estimated the current
strength of the Japanese ai force
at over 3,000 combat planes.
Monthly production is 1,250 to
1,500, despite widespread damage
in Superfortress raids.
He called for the "patriotic
workers of the nation" to aid the
navy in repairing vessels which
the concentrated air effort of the
are being damaged daily under
enemy. Ship repair workers are
needed now in ever-Increasing
numbers.
Face Heavier Losses
Mr. Truman warned that as
American forces approached
Japan they face heavier losses
from cn-smy airpower despite
losses inflicted on the Japanese
air forces.
While the Japanese airpower
has been reduced, he explained,
the area In which the enemy is
operating has been compressed
until the "density" of the enemy
air power was now four or five
limes as great as when the Jap
anese were spread over Vast
reaches of the Pacific.
The president said thet dam
age to American ships nnd loss
of men had been increasing and
that:
"In the future, we shall have
lo expect more damage rather
than less."
Automotive War Production
The automotive industries 1000
plants spread from coast to coast
have poured out approximately
$24 billion of war materials.
These included aircraft products,
guns, ammunition, tanks, mili
tary vehicles, and scores of smal
ler, more specialized materials.

WASHINGTON, June 1 (UP)
President John P. Fiey of the
metal trades: department (AFL) "
today blamed the navy depart
ment's industrial policy for the
labor shortage In west coast ship
yards. Seh:"Wayne Morse, R.,
Ore., made, a -similar charge yes
terday in assailing a navy state
ment 88yihworkers are leav
ing these yards in alarming num- .v
bers and that 15,000 recruits are -
needed for skilled repair jobs.
Frey said that "if the navy de
partment's industrial policy was -as
. . . effective as the handling
of our fighting ships, the present
shortage might not exist."
Frey said tho navy policy since
1862 has been to pay the same
wage rate as that paid by priv
ate mangement for similar work
but that it 'had refused to do this
for repair work. He said repair
workers in private yards receive "
$1.34 cents per hour but in navy
yards the rate is $1.26 an hour.
Frey said the navy has declin-"
ed to permit ship repair compan-..
ics in Los Angeles and San Di-"
ego to pay the ship-repair rate
to their employes. "
Frey's department has ap- '
pealed to the war labor board
from a decision by the WiLB ship
building commission which end-,,
ed the 11.0 per cent differential
for the southern California yards.,.
