Offensive Near, McNuittoAsk For Service Law (CONTINUED FROM PACE 1) Smuts Believes (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) needing men to another plant where laborers are being im properly utilize or "hoarded." 3. Power to require Individual! to remain on the Job, or to trans fer to another. He warned however, that the power to keep men on Jobs, or to aend them to other employment, "should not be permitted to be the instrument lor undercutting established wage standards." West Turnover Cited "Turnover in west coast plants has reached fantastic heights," McNutt said. "Labor piracy is rife In Buffalo and Detroit. Squeezing the last employable person in the area into employment is a crucial problem in Connecticut." McNutt said the president In structed him several weeks ago to draw up a national service bill, now being drafted by the war manpower commission's management-labor policy subcommittee. "It is only fair to this group to state that the subcommittee has Indicated their opposition to Im mediate enactment of national service legislation," McNutt said. "They believe that all indirect sanctions should be exhausted be fore such a law is passed. "Nevertheless, they are prepar ing draft legislation for considera tion whenever the president lndl. eates that national serrtce legisla tion Is required." McNutt left no doubt as to nil own belief that such legislation was necessary. "Public opinion and sound pub lic policy both dictate that we must not stop short of compulsion when those who will not cooper ate are blocking war production," he declared. McNutt said there were Just three ways to tackle the man power problem.' These were: 1. A voluntary system "Per suasion backed by education used to obtain compliance from em ployers or workers." 2. Indirect sanctions, through Induction into the army, cancella tion of ration books and other means of forcing compliance through administrative action without statutory authorization. 8. "Legislation, under which the objectives would be stated, the obligations and duties of every citizen explicitly set forth, and the essential safeguards spelled out" Bids to Be Asked On Highway Projects SALEM, Ore..

The Associated Press tabulation showed that in the S00 announced sinkings of United and neutral nations' merchant ships since Pearl Harbor, 3,400 lives have been lost and more than 1,894 crew members and passengers are missing, most of whom may now be considered dead. More than 19,492 persons were rescued from the ships and safely landed at western Atlantic ports. At least 90 ship captains are known war casualties, including 12 Imprisoned aboard Axis raid ers between June and August of this year. One of the 12 was the captain of the freighter whose loss waa announced today. The ship went down in July. On the basis of announced sink ings June was the costliest month of the war for the United Nations, with 111 merchant vessels an nounced as lost. Since then sink ings have decreased steadily, with 48 during August, 14 in Septem ber and only four thus far this month as evidence of the effec tiveness of United Nations' coun terblows against the torpedo tnreat. At least 191 American mer chantmen have been lost since Dec. 7. Britain lost at least 88, and Norway 48. OUR BOARDING HOUSE W VEAM, W ESAD, BOVS.' H I? WE'RE 1 MAJOR.'

"The spectre of want, nunger and starvation are beginning io stalk through the subject coun tries and the spirit of unrest is heaving and rising. The explosive limits of endurance are nearing. We are approaching the poini when both on the war fronts and on the home fronts in the enemy countries, the situation V ripen ing for far-reaching develop, menta." Smuta said that "in spite ol heavy setbacks and many disap pointments, we have had tne nee- essarv time to creoare, to parry deadly blows and to assemble and consolidate the forces and re sourcea on which we rely for al lied victory." "Once the time has come to take the offensive and to strike while the iron Is hot," he said, "it would be folly to delay, to over-prepare and perhaps miss our opportunity. Nor are we likely ta do so." I'For Japan just as surely as for Hitler's Germany the writing Is the wall," Smuts said. "All that will remain of the spectacu lar Japanese success will be 'Ja pan for the Japanese.' " He described Pearl Harbor as 'at once a challenge to America, to western civilization and to the principles of good faith on which it is basically founded."

MOSCOW, Oct 21 (JPi Red army men were reported strength ening their positions at Stalingrad today, working and fightlne in a cold rain that drenched the ruins, while beating off successively weaker attacks in the week-old Nazi offensive.
