But TWO Executives Orders

But Two Executive Orders
Abraham Lincoln issued but two
executive orders during the Civil
war.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1941-11-12

17.9. In 1914 during the first four
months there were 10000 more
births in the United States than
during the corresponding months
in 1910. We are nearly up to the
German rate.
Dentists for Defense
There is real priority problem
in the supply for dentists. 1t is a
question whether the armed scrv-
ices need dentists more than the
civil population. The Dental Re-
serve Corps has now sufficient Off
GERS to meet the requirements of
the War Department, but it is a
question whether in calling too
many, some communities in the
civil population will suffer a
shortage or not. Local boards are
advised that they must determine
in a given case whether the local
community needs a dentist enough
so that he should be deferred.
Trained Nurses
The supply of nurses also pre-
sents a priority problem and with
the induction of nurses into serv-
ice, the civil population is showing
q shortage. So much so that the
Surgeon General o: the United
States Public Health %.'orvice has
issued a call for fifty tHousand

On a percentage basis, this means

working time was lost by strikes.
Mr. Green quoted the following re-
port Of Understanding Of War Rob
ert p. Pattcrson:
81 am happy TO inform you that the
Army construction program, in spite
Of some confusion at the start due to
the suddcnness with which the pro-
gram was thrust upon US, and in spite
Of the necessity for prosecuting it
through winter weather, has pro-
gressed to the general satisfaction Of
the Army.
"The troop housing program was
accomplished in time to meet the
scheduled arrival Of troops and the
munitions plant program has been
prosecuted with such speed that some
Of the plants arc already in nroduc-
ton.
"In the Army construction program
we have had excellent cooperation
from labor and no serious delay has
been occasioncd by labor troubles dur
ing the entire program. As you well
know, there have been minor differ
cnces which have been quickly ironed
out through the cooperative efforts Of
the labor organizations and the sup
port OF the individual workers.
"The patriotic work done by labor
organizations in furnishing US with
skilled labor in regions where there
was dearth Of labor is greatly ap-
preciated."
Mr.. Green then quoted the follow
ing report from Secretary Of the
Navy Knox:
81 have never seen a higher morale
among shipbuilding workers. Con-
struction is going at top speed in
every yard in the Atlantic, Pacific
and the Gulf. They are away ahead
Of schedule-about year ahead"
Although Government regulation
have now clamped the lid down on
aircraft production figures, the latest
totals made public were also highl;
encouraging, Mr.. Green said. June
production broke all records and the
OPM reports that the production OF
two-engine bombers was a m 0 5

GREEN STRESSES LABOR'S SUPPORT Dernountoble Home
OF NATIONAL DEFENSE PROGRAM Used By Comedians

Chicago, Ill.-Through the ski!lful
toll and loyal supporl Of American
workers, the national defense pro-
gram "is now proceeding full blast,
ahead of schedule and beyond all cx-
pectations," President William Green
Of the American Federation Of Labor
told a nationwide radio audience.
Citing official report given to him
by Federal defense agelcier Mr..
Green revealed that the Army and
Navy construction programs and air
craft production figurcs are away
ahead of advance estimates and
added:
"All of this is good news fo-
America and bad news for America S
enemies. 1t is q tribute to the eff
cheney of American labor and Ameri-
can industry working in close CO.
operation with the Government"
Mr.. Green gave several outstandng
examples of assistant "ivan to the
defense program by he American
Federation Of Labor and its afTiliates.
Beginning with the unanimous pledge
Of support given by the last conven-
ticn of the Federation, he traced the
various steps taken to make good that
pledge. Included were the no-strikc
policy Of the America Federation Of
Labor, the stablization pacts entered
into by the Metal Trades Department
and the Building and Construction
Trades Department in their respec-
tive fields, the Executive Councils
recommendation for the creation Of
the National Defense Mediation Board
and the sending Of hundreds Of thou
sands of skilled workers to the site
of defense projects by A. f. Of L.
unions at no expense to the Govern
ment.
Figures received from the War and
! Navy Departments and the Office OF
Production Management, Mr.. Green
disclosed, show that more than 90 PEI
cent of the five million members ot
| the A. r. of l.. "have refrained from
striking for any cause"
War Department records listed S.
4S3, 400 man days worked in the Army
construction program as against only
