Four major war agenc!es-the
War Manpower Commission, the
War Production Board. the Navy
and the Army-today urged Ameri-
can war contractors to hire more
Negro workers as means Of in
creaslng war production.
This action is stressed in a Is
page illustrated pamphlet, Man
power: One Tenth of a Nation.
issued by the War Manpower Com
mission and signed by Paul V. Nc
Mutt, chairman, VINO; Donald NJ
Nelson. chairman, WPB; Frank
Knox, secretary of the Navy and
Robert P Patterson as acting Sec
rotary Of War.
The strongy-worded pamphlet,
which is being mailed TO more than
10000 war production contractors,
reviews Americas production goals
and tells employers:
You are going to need more
workers, workers of every kind
skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled
You're going to need every worker
you can get. But labor is going to
be short, very short That means
that no worker can be overlooked
It means that skilled workers must
not be wasted on unskilled Jobs. Il
means that we must get our whole
labor force 10 work, with every
man doing a job that fits the limit
OF his skill ard strength"
On the availability Of Negro
workers, the booklet points out:
There are 12OOOO,OOO white peo-
pie in this country. There are al
most 100000 Negroes. More than
