He explained that three quarters of a second Is the average reaction time, and pointed out that If the automobile were travelling at a rate of 20 miles per hour. it would travel Q feet during the "braking time.

Without those. and without the power to compel transfer of workers from dispensabe to essential plants, Seectve Service had to depend upon the voluntary cooperation Of agencies which, whenever opinions differed could stymie the manpower pro- gram completely.
 Whenever the War Services Department an- nouncod new call uS el conscripts, men threaten cd with the draft would rush wholesale Co recruiting offices in order to select their own branches of service. Director Little then would receive frantic calls from critical industries reporting that their Key men had volunteered for armed service, and would Mr. Little please do something about t m e hurry,
 He could and did freeze workers into an industry, though not into specific plants But he could not control the drafting of key industrial employees, or prevent their enlistment.
