rains will be over.
Gov. Pierre Bots On. French
high commissioner. issued his or
der for evacuation OF women and
children because OF the manner In
which civilians elogged the roads
during the German invasion Of
France.
Evacuation OF women and chill
dren began early this month by

aren't anxious for evacuation
through the bloekaded seas.
They're also worried by reports of
hunger and prospects Of a hard

Here. at least. there's plenty to
eat. The only things restricted
are textiles and automobiles. As
matter Of fact, there IL more
than enough TO eat-and that's
one OF Dakar's big problems.
The greatest difficulty here Ii
transportation. There Ii no gaso-
line and only a few tires. and
there Is nothing TO replace mate

During the past year, when
Boisson returned from viehy, he
called in colonial administrators
and planters and relayed TO them
an appeal from Marshal Henri
Philippe Petain to help feed
France through the critical arms

Big Harvest
The planters produced a heavy
harvest but II created grave
problem. Huge piles of cotton,
hides, peanuts. cocoanuts. dried
fish and meats. coffee. cocoa and
vegetable oils were left TO rot be-
cause they could not be taken to
market. or because after reaching
Dakar they could not get through
the blockade.
In the meantime. the shelves OF
Dakar merchants have been strip
ped OF textiles and manufactured
imports.

Bataan Defeat Seen
Boosting Demand for
Labor, Profit Curbs
Senators Soy Public
Won't Tolerate Further
Impeding Of Production

BY the Associated Press.
Increased public pressure for
legislation to lengthen the work
week, slash production profits and
eliminate extravaganza and waste
in the war effort was forecast today
by congressional leaders gauging do
mestic reaction to the defeat on
Bataan.
Almost without exception, In
formed legislators foresaw mounting
public irritation against any OBJ
struction to the production program
an attitude one veteran Senator
said could be attributed to the gen.
eral feeling that while the people
should not interfere in military
strategy, they had a prime re-
sponsibility for production.
Senator George, Democrat. OF
Georgia said he believed Americans
on the home frcnt feel 1t is time for
major sacrifices.
In my judgment" Senator
George told reporters, the Ameri-
can people are in a frame OF mind
where they are not going to tolerate
anything more than the most rea-
sonable of wages or profits. They
are going to demand that everybody
work q full 48-hour week at regular
pay, that profits be held to mini
mum and that waste and ineh1ciency
be eliminated"
Senator George has advocated
voluntary suspension Of the law re-
quiring overtime pay for all work
over 40 hours and has declared for
a special war profits tax.
No-Profit System Seen.
Senator Pepper, Democrat, OF
Florida said the loss of Bataan
ought to remove any impeachment
that has existed to the full mobiliza-
ton of the country's man power and
resources in the war effort.
Senator Pepper, who advocates
Government control of wages and
prices, said he believed the admin
istration ought to take the lead in
calling for equal sacrifices" from
labor and capital in full produc-
ton program.
"If we don't exhibit to the country
a firm, strong leadership now" he
declared, I'VE not only will lose, but
we shall deserve to lose the next
election"
Senator Lee. Democrat. Of Okla
homa, who has joined with Senator
Pepper in demanding the enactment
of legislation suspending the 40
hour week, said he believed there
was growing sentiment also for a
no-profit system of war production.
On the other hand, Senator Taft,
Republican, of Ohio, said he believed
a reasonable amount of profits
should be allowed, adding that excess
earnings on war contracts ought to
be taxed 80 per cent.
Opposing suspension Of the 40
hour week, Senator Taft urged that
legislation be enacted to require ap-
proval by the War Labor Board Of
wages fixed in collective bargaining
contracts. The Ohio Senator op-
posed price freezing.

the Senate without careful consid-
Grafton"
Anticipating discussion of the
labor situation April 20, Senator
Ball said he and Senator Taft would
urge the Education and Labor Com
mittee to consider labor legislation
next week.
"I will propose that the commit
tee agree on bill and report it to
the Senate as constructive method
of avoiding floor written legisla-
tion," Senator Ball declared.
"We need to set up a policy Oil

ton. Personally I want more in
formation on the proposals to sus-
pend the 40-hour week which
think Is very far reaching and may
have an effect its proponents do not
want"
Meanwhile, the Senate had word
from Donald M. Nelson, chairman
Of the War Production Board, that
strikes had no appreciable effect on
war industries in January or Feb
ruary.
Mr.. Nelson said in a letter to Sem
ator Maybank, Democrat, of South
Carolina. that less than one-fifth of
per cent Of persons working in war
production were involved in strikes
or lockouts during that period.
