The manpoWer shortage which
close observers have been predict
ing, is here. Now that plant con-
version displacementS have passed
their peak, we are coming Squarely
up against the need for finding
workers among those millions who
do not really want to work.
There has ben a labor bottle
neck. of sorts, for months. This
was in the SIX lied trades which
form the cornerStones of most pro-
duction--men performing key tasks
without which the unSkilled work
men would be useless.
The pinch now at hand goes fur
ther than the matter of trained
workers. II involves industry's
ability to obtain enough employees
OF any sort. skilled or common Ia
borerS, TO carry on the expansion
we still have to make in wa pro-
duction.
The National Industrial Confer
ence Boards survey of employment
and unemployment as of April
shows only million and three
quarters theoretically available for
hiring Theoretically, because that
number includes hundreds of thou-
sands who have worked, who want
TO work. who need the income, but
who would get in everybody's way
il they had jobs, and would do
more harm than good.
Two years ago we had slightly more
than nine millions classified as
unemployed. The war has put eight
and a quarter million onto payrolls,
including those who went into the
armed forces. Meanwhile normal
increases added almost u million
to the labor reservoir.
So today-or to be exact, two
months ago, since we always are
behind in the compilation of such
studies-there were only 1,753,000
men and women who were theoreti-
cally available for employment, of
whom 1,l5l 600 were on the rolls of

NEBRASKA SARCASM
IN THE SENATE
Jacksonville Register)

(NatSonVllle ReglSter)
One need not be an answering follow
er of Sen. George Norris economic phil
osophy to sympathiza with that honest,
belligerently straightforward old war
horse as he sat in the United States SEN
ate the other day and listened to the de
bate" on gasoline rationing.
Unfortunately the debate" wandered
from such matters TO what many consider
an unseemly display of vituperative dem
agogism directed against the men-nota-
bly, Leon Henderson-who are trying to
handle a very difficult situation with 4
minimum of errors.
To Senator Norris, as to many outside
of congress, the air of the Gentleman's
club grew unbearabe Briefly, causti-
cally and effectively he said:
1T is obvious TO an onlooker who lis
tens to the statements of grave and rev.
erend senators that not only is unanimity
necessary, but it is achieved in the SEN
ate The senate knows how to handle he
rubber situation; and the co-ordinators,
or whatever they may be called, are all
wrong.
ut is quite evident from the discussion
and the statements of senator's who know
more about the rubber situation than
any of the co-ordinatOrs. that there ought
to be no regulation of gasoline which
would affect the use of rubber in any
way.
1--WE can handle the situation. That
has been demonstrated in the past hour
and a half 1t was further demonstrated
by the great speech made this afternoon
by the senator from Florida (Mr. An
drews) in which he called attention to
the steel and iron in sight in the senate
chamber He called attention to so tons
of iron, S5 or 90 tons of steel, and the
great quantity of other metals He call
ed attention to something that made chills
run up and down my spine, when he said
that if the facts should become generally
known we might all be arrested for
boarding steel right here in the senate.
THAT demonstrates that we know how
to regulate rubber and gasoline and that
we ought to do it. 1t has been demon
strated that Sc senators can do a much
better job than can one person who wants
to be tyrant, dictator, or something else,
and set the pace for the whole country.
at seems TO me that we have had 4

thing; and | do not see why we should

SUMMER VACATIONS
{ Berkeley Gazette)

(Berkeley GaZette1
Don't take a vacation this summer"
says Dr.. Harold c. habein Of the Mayo
Clinic Addressing the Cincinnati meet
ing Of the American Association of In
dustrial Physicians and Surgeons, he
says that the body slows down in summer,
providing sort of automatic relaxation.
The heat may be unpleasant, but with
care it will do no harm.
December, January, February and
March, when the stress of work hits its
peak, are the best months for vacation.
tBy going then, some work might be es-
caped.) Most business executives die in
winter months; if they relaxed more then,
their lives would be prolonged. Also,
according to DR. Habein frequent short
holidays often do more good than pro-
longed absence from the job.
Most people haven't much choice in the
matter and merely take what vacation is
allowed them. But DR.. Habein's advice
might we'll be borne in mind; some day
there may be Il chance to put it into prlc-
tice.

FALSE OPTIMISM

For several weeks, dispatches through
censorship have told of growing unrest
in Germony itself, and have emphasized
Nazi difficulties of supply, labor and
incipient uprisngs in all occupied coun-
tries. German troubles have been high
ly magnified in the public mind-and
Germany allowed, even encouraged, the
report of trouble.
Now the reason is apparent.
Evidently not only the civilian popula-
ton on the home front, but lot of the
military leaders on some Of the fight
ing fronts, allowed themselves to be
mislead about the strength of the Ger
man fighting forces. They looked at the
troubles Germany was supposed to be
having, and decided the Na2is were los
ing their punch They went to sleep, or
at least took a cat-nap.
You can see the results in Libya and
Russia
The Germans still retain immense pow
er. regardless of whatever troubles they
NAV be having Their fighting machine
is still smooth working engine Of death.
We've been guilty, again, of selling
ourselves into a state of mind in which we
underrated the enemy. Let's not do it

ter, for Paddy was very particular
about this. You see, it was to be
the floor for the splendid room he
was planning to build. When it suit
ed him he began to pile mud in
the very middle. Jerry couldn't I'M
derstand this. He puzzled and puz-
zled over it, while he helped to bring
the mud. Where was Paddy's room
going to be if he piled up the mud
that way? But he didn't like to ask
questions, so he kept right on help
ing. Paddy would dive down to the
bottom and then come up with dou-
BILE handfuls of mud, which he held
against his chest. He would scram-
BILE out on the platform and waddle
over to the pile in the middle, where
he would put the mud.
And so the mud-pile grew and
grew until it was quite two feet
high. 'Now," said Paddy, ''I'll build
the walls and I guess you can't help
me much with those. I'm going to
begin them tomorrow night. Per-

PADDY THE BEAVERS HOUSE

FERRY MUSKRAT was very much

Paddy the Beaver, who, you know,
is his cousin, was building house.
Jerry is a householder himself,
and right down deep in his heart he
very much doubted if Paddy could
build as good a house as he could.
His house was down in the Smiling
Pool, and Jerry thought it very
wonderful house, indeed, and was
very proud of it. It was built of
mud and sod and little alder and
willow tWigs and bulrushes. Jerry
had spent one winter in it and he
had decided to spend another there
after he had fixed it up a little. So
as long as he didn't have to build a
brand-new one he could afford the
time to watch his cousin Paddy.
Perhaps he hoped that Paddy would
ask his advice.
But Paddy did nothing of the kind.
He had seen Jerry Muskrat's house,
