Nelson Calls for
Longer Work Week

WASHINGTON, Nov. COUP
Chairman Donald M. Nelson of the
war production board told the SEN
ate military affairs committee to-
day that the nation can do more
than it has to conserve manpoWer
and that a longer work week and
increased productivity will be
necessary.
Nelson said that sooner or later
congress will have to enact stand
ards for manpower authority in
legislation.
we haven't done everything yet
that could be done to conserve
manpower," Nelson said, testifying
in connection with pending bills
dealing with the manpower prob
lem. we have got to lengthen
the work week. We have got to
increase productivity through bet
ter management.
There shouldn't be as much abb
senteeism in our plants 49, Monday

ness"
President Roosevelt is not eX-
pected to ask for any early legis-
lation dealing with manpoWer be-
cause he repeatedly feels the prob
lem can be met through an exc
cutive order which he is expected
to issue soon.

Rotarians Hear2
Aspects of War In
Discussions Here

Two aspects of World War II as
viewed from widely differing points
of view We're presented to FL Cen
tro Rotary club members Thursday
One was the antlytical. religious as
pect as voiced by the Rev
H. D. Nash of the Coronado Epis-
copal church. and the other was
a fleeting glimpse of war produc-
ton as given by Major r. H. Fleet
of Consolidated Aircraft corpora
ton.
Major Fleet. n club visitor. in an
eXtemporaneous talk, told how to-
day the famous Consolidated bomb
erS and seaplaneS are spanning
the continent. the Pacific and the
Atlantic, though I cannot reveal to
you how many or how often"
The chief conSultant and former
owner of the big San Diego con-
Germ. explained the difficulties of
operating such a wartime industry.
The average age of the $4,000 en-
ployees is "a. he said. and these
men are rapidly leaving for the
q
for more women workers, he eX-
planned.
Father Nash, one Of the minis
ters cooperating in the current To-
cal religious mission, viewed the
war from cause and effect angle
He explained that it could have
been avoided by true Christian
craftsmanship backed up by uni
versal Christian attitude by the
people.
Isolatronism error was failure to
realize that the world is a family,
he said, y we must learn to get
along with everyone and not de-
price others of what is justly theirs.
He scored the absence of Chris
tan ideals in politics, business COM
petition and the lives of the ma
poritv of citizens. and deplored pub
lie ignorance of Christian preach
ment@.
The speaker was presented by the
Rev. Edward Hutchinson. Hazel

Kaiser Opposes
Freezing Labor

WASHINGTON, Nov. Cup
Henry j. Kaiser, west coast ship
builder today recommended before
a congressional committee that a
new, overall nine-man federal
agency be created to handle
through voluntary methods all the
nations manpoWer problems.
Kaiser called for abolition of the
existing Selective service system,
as well as elimination of the War
Manpower commission from the la
Dor picture, and proposed that an
end to voluntary enlistments in the
armed forces be ordered.
OPPOSES FREEZING
Appearing before a Senate edu-
cation and labor subcommittee
studying manpoWer problems, Kai-
ser emphasized that }e was strong
ly opposed to any freezing" Of
American labor. He said that a
voluntary method was the answer
to solving the question of supplying
labor for war industries and essen
tial civilian industries.
Kaiser explained that in urging
abolition of the present selective
service system, he favored retention
cf its aims and policies of drafting
for the armeo forces. and proposed
that its duties be continued by the
recommended new agency.
He also voiced the opinion that
the proposed overall agency, once
created, should issue immediate or
ders hating voluntary enlistments
in the armed forces. Thus, he said
the flow of labor in war industries
and into the armed forces could be
controlled, and no interruption

members should be appointed.
Lamenting the lack of centraliza-
ticn in the manpower picture, Kai-
ser declared that so far, there is
no established policy in regard to
the use of women in industry,
there are no figures on the number
of unemployed persons in the coun-
