try Jobs not only should prove
helpful in filing the places OF men
called to military service but should
foster higher morale.
Ii was his opinion, however, that
any registration of women should
be on voluntary basis as contra
distinguished from the compulsory
method employed in Britain, and
this view was shared by Democra-
tic Leader Barley OF Kentucky.
Senator Bilbo (D-Miss.) called for
the enumeration of all men and

Senate yesterday. but Barley indi-
Gated the Administration was not
prepared at this time to undertake
a program Of such vast scope.
Bilbo told his colleagues that
multiplied thousands" of men and
women were being thrown out of
work because their former occupa-
tons had been hit by war priori-
ties. He argued that total regis
tration OF all adults would aid in
placing these persons in vital war
jobs as well as uncoveIing other
