M anpower More Positions Than Men Are Discovered WASHINGTON, May l-(JP) With a nation-wide drive opening Saturday to find "jobs for men over 40," Federal Security Ad ministrator Paul V, McNutt said Friday night "it's beginning to appear that, the search will have to be not so much for jobs, as for men to fill the jobs", He said every local office of the United States employment service was ready to cooperate with all citizens' organizations and government agencies during the national employment week campaign to find jobs for older men. During the week, McNutt said, "representatives of the employ ment service will make a special effort to see that employers are given every opportunity to locate the older men whose skills are now so urgently needed in the war production plants, in those turning out essential consumer goods, and for farm work." , Outdoor Club Slates Trip A trip to the University of Ore gon at Eugene has been arranged for Sunday by Chemeketans, out door club.- Members of the uni- versity staff and of Obsidians, a Eugene group affiliated " with Chemeketans, -will conduct a tour of the campus and point out ob Jects of interest Features to be seen will include the library, art museum, museum of natural history, school of ar chitecture and allied arts, new physical education plant and oth er buildings and departments.

President Roosevelt told his press conference that immediate plans for the registration have been dropped after Paul V. Mc Nutt, manpower mobilizer, had consulted women members of the federal social security board's ad visory council and had learned there are more women looking for jobs than there are openings for them at the moment. President Roosevelt said al most 1,500,000 women are regis tered with the nation's 1500 fed eral employment service offices, and Miss Anderson said 1,000. 000 of these could be utilized. She continued: "After these j two groups the women workers being dis placed by conversion or curtail ment and the unemployed "are absorbed, we may look to the new workers--first to the 700,000 young women who will be coming out of school this June."
