FOR MANPOWER
NEW YORK, Dec. 5 MP) The
Nntlonal Association of Manu
facturers today was on record as
favoring appointment of a single
manpower administrator, Inde
pendent of any other agency, to
handle the critical problems of
manpower as it affects hours of
work and apportionment of men
and women among military and
civilian activities.
A resolution was adopted
unanimously at the association's
war congress, attended by 4000
industrialists from throughout
the country, at its concluding
session yesterday, asserting such
an administrator should have
full authority, and solve the fol
lowing problems:
Food Supply
1. The desirability of having
all recruiting handled by selec
tive service.
2. The need for workers to as
sure adequate food supply.
3. Suspension of non-essential
. federal, state and local govern
ment activity to release em
ployes from government pay
' rolls "who might serve the na
tion's interest better by working
in war industries or serving in
our military forces."
Longr Week
4. "The urgent need for sus
. pending during the war period
; all existing federal and state
laws that limit industry's ability
to make fullest use of its present
war workers."
5. "The necessity for lengthen
ing the work week to the great-
, est possible extent consistent
' with health and efficiency, there
by expanding, In effect, the la
bor force . .
Nelson Goes All-Out
The resolution also urged
management to give greater at-
: tentlon to health and nutrition
"" of workers, and urged workers
" to check the trend toward vol
untary absenteeism from work.
which it saia nas -grown oy

While several of the Indus t

TO GET FREE
TRAVEL 1ST
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec 8
The federal government held
out an offer of free transporta
tion today to sorely needed log
gers for western Oregon and
Washington.
F. H. Brundage, war produc
tion board log and lumber ad
ministrator for the west, said
the loggers would come from
the pine regions of eastern Ore
gon, Idaho, Montana and Cali
fornia, where many camps close
for the winter.
Production Cut
Because men are needed so
desperately in the fir region, the
government will provide round-
trip tickets for the loggers and
their families and will pay the
cost of moving household fur
nishings, Brundage said. The
men would return to the pine
region when operations resume
there in spring. - ;
The log shortage has cut fir .
production nearly 50 per cent, !
Brundage said, adding, "Already (
I have asked some of the lumber
and plywood mills to drop down
to one shift in order to keep up
steady production." .
The WPB labor production di
vision said between 4000 and
5000 pine loggers were available
November 1, but many probably
have gone into shipyards by
now.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 (IP)
Charles E. Wilson, vice chair
man of the war production
board, Friday received final pow
er to direct the production of
aircraft, radio equipment and
escort vessels, along with super
visory control over . all: other
munitions production. . ".
The climax of a weeks-long
struggle for authority over pro
duction scheduling between ' ci
vilian and military officials.
represented by WPB Chairman
Donald M. Nelson on one hand
and heads of the armed services
on the other, came in a state
ment announcing "full .agree
ment by all concerned.'1
Issued Jointly by Nelson, Sec
retary of War Stimson and Sec
retary of the Navy Knox, it was
interpreted as a substantial vic
tory for Nelson.
An accompanying statement
vested in Nelson's vice chairman
"general supervision over the
scheduling of the programs be
tween the various services."
This meant that WPB had re
covered authority over produc
tion scheduling previously dele
gated to the services and per
formed exclusively by them
since last March.
