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"

500th Atlantic
Sinking Noted
By The Associated Press
The battle of the Atlantic claim
ed Its sooth announced submarine
victim as the navy announced
Wednesday tha loss of a medium
sized United States merchantman
in the north Atlantic.
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.

"The spectre of want, nunger

Smuta said that "in spite ol

essarv time to creoare, to parry
deadly blows and to assemble and
consolidate the forces and re
sourcea on which we rely for al

be folly to delay, to over-prepare

Nor are we likely ta do so."

He described Pearl Harbor as

principles of good faith on which
it is basically founded."

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.
Maintenance of Stalingrad's de

was indicated by the noon com
munique and, coupled with this,
were announcements of an im
provement of Soviet positions in
both the western and central Cau
casus through counterattacks.
A battered power plant still
supplied electricity within Stalin

Pravda said the southern sub
urbs were quieter than the north

shells fell occasionally.
The army newspaper Red Star
said detachments guarding the
northern factory section of the

in slackened, though still severe
combat. Russian estimates of Ger
man casualties dropped, indicat

scale of the attacks.
