Clerical Assistance Promised in Filling Out OCCupa-
tiOnaI QuestiOnnaires; Draft Boards to Be Advised

to provide a manpower inventory
which win help furnish soldiers Of
production as well aS men for the
lighting forces, she declared. The
duplicate copy to be file6 with the
local selectlve service board will be
forwarded 10 the U, s. Employment
Service for analysis.
The U, s. Employment Service Of
the Social Security Board, she ex-
planned, has the responsibility Of re-
cruiting SUFFICIENT labor supply to
meet the anticipated ten and a half
million new workers needed In the
coming year for war production in
dustries.
The occupational inventory will
serve TO indicate these workers
whose skills Justify Q complete Job
registration through the U. s. En-
ployment Service for war production
work, she said, pointing out that a
check list OF occupations previous
ly held by the registrant Is inelud.
cd In the form,
She explained that "T'he cheek
list includes those war production
Jobs for which shortage exists or
Is anticipated and for which SUM-
Client trainees may not be available
In the next six months. Other oc-
equations include essential Jobs for
which requirements would be DIM
cult II the present adequate labor
supply should become depleted"
"Many Of the Job descriptions are
not detailed that they will clearly
indicate Wheeler the registrant has
actually the needed skill, but they
will indicate which individuals
should be interviewed by the U, s
Z, s. for such determination,
Personal Interviews
'rt will thus be necessary TO have
personal interviews only with those
workers who appear to possess Skills
that are needed at this time and
who are not working in essential
industries" she said. CAS- other &C.
equations come into demand, per-
sonal interviews can be given to adj
ditional persons indicating some
evidence OF the possession Of those
occupations, This process can be
continued as long as desirable even
extending TO q possible eventual
application In the public employ
ment offices for each Selective
Service registrant. This will offer
o practical means for accurately
classifying the entire manpower OF
the nation but devoting first at
tention TO individuals qualified for
occupations presently In demand"
"The procedure which We will fol-
low 10 assure the most effective re-
cruitment OF the soldiers Of produce
ton Is indicated In the following
steps:
"If there's an opening (either
local or clearance) III critical &C.
cupation on an essential product
which cannot be Allied through
placement OF an unemployed appli-
cant. We shall attempt to fill IL
through this group OF workers who
are not working In their critical oc-
equations on essential products.
This may be done through one OF
I the following methods:
