BY PAUL V. McNuTT War Manpowcr Commission
 Chairman

(Wrltten For The United Pressl
 Washington, Dec, 2s - tu,PD - Two manpower tasks face the Uni. ted States in ia4S;
 First, the replacement of men be- ing drawn in ever-increasing num- berS into the armed forces, The second Is the addition of more than 250o, 900 workers which will bring the total force to an all-time high of 62.5o0,0o0 workers, icnluding the armed forces,
 To meet these objectiveS, millions must go to work who never before entered the labor market,
 Our factories and our farms must be kept running at full production, We must increase, not decrease, the flow of tanks, planes, guns, and other vital supplies of war We must gather our crops,
 At the highest peak of farm em- ployment in l9s2, in July, i2,e000 900 persons were at work in the fields and on the farms, Of these, no less than S,0Q0000 were placed by the local and regional ofllices of the U, $. Employment service of the War Manpcwer Commission. We are proud Of that record and are re- solved to provide labor to meet crop goals announced by the Agricul- ture Department for l94S, higher even than the l942 record harvest.
 In Decemeber, ls4l, there were only 100000 women engaged in agricultural wsr work. by the end of l943 we expect to have G. 100000 women in the factories, fill ing 30 per cent of all American in- dustrial war jobs. In i94l, 500,000 women worked on farms.
 During l943 we expect an addi- tional S00000 women to enter agri- culture.
 Vast training facilities are avail able to the countless men and women who are changing from peace time occupations to war work, and to those who have previously been without skill.
 Progress has been made in as- signing government contracts to areas where there Is adequate labor supply. During l942 the WING, CO., operating with the War Production Board and the purchasing authori-
