WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.
(UP)-The White House to-
day released a long-awaited
report which called on gov
ernment, labor and manage
ment to carry out Immediately
without a labor draft" act-14 spe-
cific recommendations for bolster
ing the manpower program.
The manpower program, if not
corrected, the report said, will SER
iously impede the war effort
There was no White House COM
ment on the report, although an
executive order putting its recon-
mendationS into effect is known
to be on President Roosevelt's desk.
The report was drafted by the
war manpoWer commissions labor
management policy committee. It
made seven recommendations for
government action on one hand, and
seven for labor and management
on the other.
The government was urged
l. To authorize the chiefs of
staffs of the armed forces, the lend
lease administration, War Produc-
ton Chief Donald M. Nelson, and
War Manpower Chief Paul v. Nc
Mutt to determine the overall
manpoWer program" thus recogniz-
ing that manpower planning must
be considered in close conjunction
with military and production plan

Hitler May Make

BY JOE ALEX MORRIS

LONDON, Nov. 10. (UP)-
Adolf Hitler may make a des-
perate last minute attempt
to step the American east
ward drive toward Tunisia and boil
ster Field Marshal Erwin Rommels
tottering stronghold in western Lii
bya by rushing air reinforcements
to the Mediterranean, but compet-
ent observers believed today that
| it could be done only by dangerous
ly depicting German air power In
occupied France.
Vichy and Berlin claimed axis air
attacks on British and American
warships and troop transports off
Alberta, but dispatches yesterday
from Lieut.. Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hower's North African headquarters
indicated the enemy action was on
a small scale, apparently OF prop
aganda nature. But increasing axis
air opposition is expected from bases
in Sicily, Sardinia, and the Island
of Pantellaria, southwest of Sicily
as American troops push into Tuni-
Sia.
ALLIES READY

American and British air forces are
ready for the axis and also have
heavy bombers flown to Africa to
attack any land reinforcements Hit
ler might try to send to Tripolitania
through the Mediterranean or move
into TuniSia.
1t was believed Hitler might try
some bold move to prevent the al
lies from occupying the North Afrl-
can coastal region stretching more
than 100 miles from Philippeville
in Algeria to Tunis, since this sector
is vital both for defense of Rommels
