House Committee Urges
StreanIininq War Effort

WASHINGTON. Oct. 20-tUP) -
The house committee investiga ting
defense migration today proposed
creation of a new office of war
mobilization with authority to con-
troll the nations economy and to
direct all phases of the war effort
except the actual fighting.
The war production board the
new office of economic stabilization
and all manpower mobilization ag-
encies would be subordinate to the
new agency which would be under
the direction of one man.
The committee. headed by Rep.
John H. Tolan, D., Cal. set forth
its proposed program in its sixth
interim report II also recon-
mended sweeping decentralization
Of war agencies.
Many OF the shortcomings OF the
war effort to date are traceable to
the attempt to run the war from

can be lost in Washington.

To-day there is widespread pub
lie demand that congress take ac-
tion on the manpower problem by

believes that congress should as
sumo a far large responsibility al
this time: namely. the economic
mobilization Of America for this
war. by a realignment OF existing
agencies to eliminate duplication
and to create a simple direction for
our war economy.
The committee proposed that al
advisory board for war Mobilization
headed by the direction OF war
mobilization and consisting OF rep
resentatives OF industry, agriculture
and labor-and a committee on re-
uuirements and program should be
attached directly TO the new olIlct
