Seen as Necessary
to Bring War
Success

Washington, Aug. IONS 49,
Sharply critical of production fail.
ures since Pearl Harbor, a congress
sional committee found today that
the entire labor supply Of the Unit
ed States must be modified and in
tegrated with war production plan
ming in order to achieve an "all-out
war effort"
In an interim report 10 Congress,
the special House Committee on
labor migration recommended con-
sideration OF a blanket occupational
deferment from military service OF
persons having industrial skills
needed on the production front.
The committee proposed that Ia

advise in the significant shortages

Failure Claimed
The report charged that the War
Production Board and the other
national war agencies have failed
TO assess and meet" the problems OF
production and labor supply on a
scale commensurate with the job in

The conclusion is inescapable:
Our production thinking from the
