this has been too much a profit war

such an award will cause people to

"Of course, this period of criticism

Nelson said these might be an ex-

Mr.. Nelson said such a system
would eliminate labor low-downs"

answer to questions by Senator Rus

such plan could not be applied to

The war production chief said
that much criticism had resulted
from a failure to understand the
huge task ahead. For example, he
said that the arplane program

The commission promised to act
on the compromise proposal later
today. The Anacostia area is un-
der the jurisdiction of the National
Capital Parks and therefore di-
rectly under Secretary of the In
terror Ickes. The Navy Department
originally had sought a permanent
transfer Of this land to its juris-
diction, but Admiral Pettengill pro-
posed today that it's use would be
for the duration of the war only.
Detour Approved.
The commission also today ap-
proved plans for a temporary de-
tour for the extension of Independ-
ence avenue from Fourteenth to
Seventeenth streets. The alignment
OF the new thoroughfare has been
changed to avoid the necessity of
tearing down any Bureau of En-
craving and Printing buildings. =
Ofacials said the detour was for
the duration of the war and later
some older structures will have to
be raZed so the new thoroughfare
can be laid out according to orig
inal plans.
A representative of the Maryland
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission presented plans for de-
velopment of the area at the Peace
Cross on the Bladensburg road. The
roadways are to be widened to end
this traffic bottleneck and a small
recreational area also is to be Great

The commission approved pro-
posal to erect another radio mast
at Fort Hunt, Va. The Army post

inately 100 per cent by addition Of
another mast.
At its concluding session this
afternoon the commission is expect
ed to consider President Roosevelt's
plan to build temporary dormitories

is another proposal directly at odds

MANZANAR, Calf, March 90
The Vests newest boom town, de-
hgned to house 10000 Japanese
evacuees from Southern California,
is being constructed in the midst OF
e,o2o acres In Owens River Valley.
-Four hundred carpenters went to
work yesterday. In a few hours
they erected one barracks and start
ed the framework for an admins
tration building and 150-bed hos
pital. Speed is essential. The prof.
ect is scheduled to be completed In
90 days. The flrst 1000 Japanese are
due Monday.
One hundred japanese artisans
carpenters, plumbers. painters and
electricians-are coming tomorrow
to assist in the construction.
The plans call for erection OF 490
buildings-14 barracks, a recreation
hall, mess hall, laundry and other
service structures on each OF Is city
blocks. The project. Manzanar Re-
ception Center, is 220 miles north
east OF Los Angeles.
Job to Employ 1000.
Supt. O. E. Evans of the Grit1th
Co., contractors, said he would have
1000 workmen, toiling IN 10-hour
shifts, six days a week, within
few days. At the peak, buildings are
scheduled to rise at the rate OF ~
to Is a day.
Five hundred military police are to
guard the center.
The land was commandeered from
the city of Los Angeles by 1t. Gen.
John L. De Witt, commander OF the
Western Defense Command, to house
aliens ousted from the Pacific Coast
combat area 1t is part OF the land
acquired by Los Angeles in the 20s
for an aqueduct from its Owens
River water reservoir.
Japanese will raise farm and gar
den products. Long unused 1rrlga-
ton bitches, which two decades ago.
furnished water to a fruit-growing
community, are being reopened.
Residents RecOnciled.
The aliens are to have virtually
every comfort they enjoyed along
the coast, except the once bright
lights OF recently darkened Little
Toxic, Los Angeles Japanese colony.
Owens Valley residents, who orig
inauy expressed resentment OF the
project, have become reconcild.
r. R. Henderson, chairman Of
the Inyo County Evacuation Com
mittee, commented:
People of Owens Valley realize
America is at war and that proper
handling of aliens and other poten-
tial fifth column elements is essen
tial. So, much of the opposition
has faded. We are determined to

however, that increased production
and reduced overhead made possible
by longer hours of production are
more than enough to Offset the 10
per cent increase in labor cost. The
corporations studied added millions
of dollars to their profits even while
paying overtime to workers"
Murray Expected to Testify.
The subcommittee also expected
to hear Philip Murray, head OF the
c. I. O., today.
On the House side, Undersecretary
OF the Navy James v. Forrestal
testified before the Naval Affairs
Committee on the Smith bill to
limit profits on war contracts to a
maximum of 6 per cent, suspend
hour limitation and overtime pay
for work on Navy and Army con-
tracts, and abrogate closed shop
contracts in plants holding Navy
and Army contracts, but he confined
himself to the profit Limitation
section.
He gave qualified approval to q
limitation OF profits if the provision
was accompanied by an excess
profits tax program and constant
supervision of work under defense
contracts.
He said, II am not in favor of it
In its present form without a more
careful method of enforcing it. The
method, frankly, is not clear to me" +"
when asked If he approved the bill
as drawn.
Mr.. Green told the Senate COM
mittee:
In my opinion, Congress and the
administration are to be praised
not condemned-for not repeating
the 40-hoGr week and for not out
lawing strikes. To have done other
wise would have created a feeling
of injustice among wage earners by
taking away from them the protec-
tive standards, which are also eff
cheney standards.
Defends Right to Strike.
Denial of the right to strike can
not occur in free country.
"Of the total war production pro-
gram of s15O,OO0 100000 on January
81 only $65, 900 000, 900 had been let In
contracts" Mr.. Green said, after
testifying that clumsy methods Of
competitive bidding" found as many
as 200 companies bidding on the
same order and spending In con-
test as much as the total value Of
the contract"
Mr.. Green also said England had
tried work weeks of 60 to 78 hours at
the start of this war and was forced
to reduce these in order to increase
production.
Mr.. Nelson told the Senators that
no special wartime labor legisla-
ton was needed and that, in fact,
such "ill-advised' action might
actually delay production.
Advancing his proposal for the
assembly line Croix de Guerre, Mr..
Nelson said:
Il feel that if the Congress had
m award for excellent work done
for the service, just as there is for
heroisIn in the field, it would be
fine thing on the part of Congress
to have an award for plants and to
workers in the plants who did an
outstanding job"
Thomas Accepts Suggestions.
Chairman Thomas Of the subcom-
Mittee said that both OF Mr.. Nell
sons suggestions would be given
proper attention in special report
to the Senate.
Senators Thomas. OMahoney of
wyoming, Maybank of South Caro-
lima and Overton of Louisiana, DEM
ocrats, and Brooks, Republican, of
Illinois, expressed approval sepa-
rately of Mr.. Nelson's suggestion.
Predicting that war workers who
now number between 100000 and
10000 900 would soon expand to 23,-
000, 1000 men and women, Mr.. Nelson

while organized Jewry is doing
splendid job, there is work to be
d on e-heroic work, by those
thousands who are not affiliated.
In this tragic hour every Amerl-
can Jew must enlist in the cause
of his faith and his country, con-
tributing more than generously
even sacrificingly-of his talents,
energies and means. He must
give of his heart, of his soul, and
of his might. More than that, ne
must conduct a "Chesbon Hane-
fesh", a reckoning of the Jewish
soul in this moment of travail.
Now more than ever must our
synagogues become the "labora-
tories" of Jewish life, open and
occupied daily, not closed from
High Holiday to High Holiday.
Our homes must be reconsecrated
to Jewish religious life and ideal
ism; our religious schools must be
revitalized; our children must be
led to a greater knowledge of God
and his Torah, and we must set
them the example. We need a
spiritual regeneration, and Amer
ica-God's latest gift to mankind
must remain, through our eff
forts, an impregnable citadel OF
Righteousness, Liberty, and HUI
man Brotherhood.
Israel is in great peril To-Day!
But we Jews know, "Bchol DOR

up against us to destroy us, but
