WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-UP0
A top-official of the War Manpower
Commission reported today that the
so-called manpower crisis has de-
veloped because of 'mal-distribu-
ton. rather than an actual shortage
of workers
He remarked that American man
power worries still are insignificant
in contrast to those faced by the
British.
Many of this countrys problems
have been aggravated considerably
by employers and labor unions
who still act as If this were
peace-time labor market he as
serted.
DISCRIMINATION
This official-who declined to be
quoted directly on grounds he was
expressing personal opinions-re-
ported that many war plants still
refuse to hire Negroes, women, aged.
of observation-disclosures workers,
despite the fact that serious labor
shortages exist in the same locali-
ties.
He added that numerous indus
tries are not cooperating with VINO
pleas that they step up their train
ing programs. Shortages in nearly
$50 categories of skilled workers al
ready are so acute that the only
way they can't be obtained is by
training workers, he said.
"Some plants which still refuse
to hire women replace 30 or 40
per cent of their workers with
women" he said. He mentioned
specifically several Well-known war
plants which still discriminate
against Negroes.
FAR FROM ALL-OUT
This and ether officials agreed
that despite numerous local labor
shortages which have caused Sc
riots production lags in some indus
tries, America is just getting start

bate, but that he definitely did not

such a provision, although the War

particular liking for the plan.

version, which conforms more close

vides special temporary deferments

U. s. PRODUCTION
 MEETS DEMANDS
Lend-Lease Shipments In- creased While We Out
 fitted Great Force
BY MERRIMAN SMITH United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, Nov. i6-(UP)-The rising tide of American production was graphically reflected today by statistics showing that lend-lease shipments increased during period when the United States was outfit ting and transporting her greatest expeditionary force.
 President Roosevelt announced that more than $9l5, 100000 in goods and services went to the Allies in October. During the four months when the United States was en- gagged in "the imposing task of arm- ing. equipping and transporting our strong expeditionary force now in North Africa" lend-lease transfers amounted to $2,l73, 100000.
 "Two- thirds of the goods were military items" the White House said in & statement made public last night, including large numbers of planes and tanks that helped to turn the tide in Egypt and to hold the lines in Russia"
 The total value of lend-lease goods transferred and services rem dered for the first IS months of the lend-lease program was $5,l29, ,00O,- 600.
 The President cited the October figures to show how wrong the Axis was in assuming that our aid to our Allies would sharply decline once we had been brought into the war"
 MT. Roosevelt said valleys and peaks in production and shipments must be expected ard cautioned against necessarily assuming that the same record can be maintained every month."
 ''The steady increase in our pro- duction is likely to mean growing increase in the air supplied to our Allies for the next year" he added, however.
 We have never intended and do not intend to diminish our Lend Lease aid in the slightest. The rec- ord for the last four months shows that we are seeking to strike care full balance between supplying our own army and supplying the other

The Navy is withholding all de- tails of the fighting which began last Thursday night (Solomons time) so as not to give the enemy valuable information. But reports from Pearl Harbor, Gen. Douglas MacArthur's headquarters in Aus tralia and Tokyo, as well as the guarded comments of naval spokes- men here, indicated that the Japan csc had attacked in tremendous force.
 Both sides are known to have bat tleships in the area and any show down naval battle seemed certain to bring about the first shoot il out engagement of this war be- tween dreadnaughts.
 Last nights communique added little to what is known of the battle that apparently is taking place ol' Guadalcanal and in the air and or the surrounding seas.
 Numerous enemy surface forces are active in the southeastern Solo, mons in an attempt to reinforce the enemy troops now on Guadalcanal ard to disrupt our delivery of sup i'ies to our forces which now occupy shore positions in this area" last nights communique said.
 The current land, sea and air &C., tions in the Solomons islands are the result Of a determined effort on the part of the Japanese to recap ture positions in the Guadalcanal- Ttilagi area.
 "The engagements are continu- ing"
 The Navy announced Saturday that both sides had suffered naval losses. It was considered likely that the commanders in the Solomons have had no time during the last five days to make detailed reports
 A naval spokesman here hinted al the type of fighting going on when he described 1t as a Init and run, hide and seek, touch and go' battle Past experience has shown that the Japanese operate 24 hours day giving the defenders little If any time for rest.

GENOA IS GIVEN
 SECOND SMASHING
British Planes Do Terrific Damage to Port; No
 Planes Are Lost

London. Nov. IS - (UP)-Brit- aims long range bombing planes, supporting the Allied armies driv- ing through North Africa. made their fourth shatteroing attack in 10 days on Genoa during the night and returned without loss.
 The attack was a concentrated one in which a strong force of four motored planes including Lancasters and Stirlings showered bombs of all weights from 4000 pound block busters down on the port from which reinforcements are moving to Africa, and the war factory area.
 Peasants of the southeast coast heard the drone of motors for an hour last night as the big planes crossed to the continent, and heard them coming home in the early hours Of the morning.
 Air raid alarms at Berne and Geneva. Switzerland. marked the path of the bombers across Europe to their target.
 4 German dispatch from Rome. broadcast by Berlin, reported that in the last raid on Genoa Friday night British planes had destroyed historic buildings of trreplaceable value"
 It said that among buildings wrecked were the palace In which the late King George V and Queen Mary stayed duing visit to Genoa after the last war. and the Palazzo San Giorgio in which the first bank in Europe was founded.
 Fridays big raid, like last nights was made without loss.
 Tn a mass raid on Genoa on the night of November 6 two planes were lost and four more went down in a tollow-up raid on the night of November '.
 Thus out of many hundreds of planes which had attacked Genoa four times in a flight totaiing i,200 miles only six planes were lost, and most of these were victims of bad weather.
 An air ministry coEnmunlue said that last nights Genoa raiders, in- cluding 6 large number of Halifax planes, made their attack in fine weather and with good results.
 The communique said coastal com mand bombers scoredl hit yester- day on Q medium sized enemy supply ship off the Norwegian coast.
