baseman, attended the Slum Feed

During the evening, Sperry bet

WASHINGTON, March 20.
(UP) - President Roosevelt
said today that shortages OF
labor probably will begin to
devplon in American war in
duStries by next fall.
For the present, the chief execu-
tive added, there is sufficient man
power for the nations expanding
war plants. He was inclined to be-
lieve that the situation will chang
by autumn.
The President would not speculate
on suggestions that possibly SOM
of the 100000 men between th2
ages of As and 65 who will register
under selective service next month
might be uS.d in some manner to
fill the gaps.
He said that it might be possible
to use already established machin-
cry to get manpower to fill indus
try's needs.

l. That Mr.. Roosevelt may plan
to catch these men as they turn

2. That the younger group which
