Sentiment Grows
For Registration
For Production

WASHINGTON, March 26.
(UP)-The fastest growing
trend here today is toward
all-out registration and mo-
bilization of man and woman
power for the assignment of civil
ians to vital war production jobs.
A member of the administration
predicted that President Roosevelt
would set up machinery toward that
objective within a month" Woman
power, however, would be on a reg
istered, but voluntary basis.
No decisions have been made. But
so many highly placed officials are
talking all-out mobilization on and
off the record that the symptoms
of imminent action are becoming
persuasive. Such a program would
mean that thousands of individuals
would go to new places and new
Jobs.
FIELD LABOR
For example: congressional Sourc-
es acquainted with administration
points of view suggested that civil
ian mobilization would permit the
speedy movement of men to wheat
fields or coal mines where shortages
Cf labor existed. An effort would
be made of course, to utilize men
accustomed to that type of work.
Here is some of the evidence that
aIl-out mobilization is under serious
consideration:
/. President Roosevelt has dis
cussed with congressional intimates
the probability that he already
possesses sufficient authority to
utilize civilian manpower in the
best interests of the war effort.
GROWS
2. There is an inspired move
ment to persuade influential women
and the women's clubs of the Unit
ed States to demand" that women
be given the right to register with
the fourth selective service group
of men C44-64 years. on April II.
g. Rep. Mary T. Norton, D., N.
j.. gave that project boost yester-
day with a public appeal in behalf
of women for the right to register.
a Speaking in Columbus, O.,
Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, selec-
tive service director. said the war
effort ultimately would require reg
istration of women and the assign
ment of millions of persons to new
communities and new jobs.
