Zation are also scheduled to testify.
 An education and labor subcom- mittee, which is also studying man. power problems postponed its hear ings to sit in with the military af- fairs committee today. The Senate Finance Committee Is hearing wit nesses on still another manpower bill--a House. passed measure to re- move child labor restrictions in sugar beet and sugar cane produc- ton.
 The four bills now before the military affairs committee range from one to set up national man. power agency to total mobiliza- ton" and work or fight legisla- tion.
 A House investigation of man. power policies meanwhile resulted in a committee report which called for new office of war mobilization and sharply criticized government agencies for "hoarding" labor.
 The report was made by the House committee investigating de- fense migration, and members be- lieved adoption of its recommends tions would make further manpower legislation unnecessary. The new ofice of War Mobilization would have control over the War Produc- ton Board, the Ofnce of Economic Stabilization and all manpower agencies.
 Committee Chairman John F, Tolan, D., Calf, said there is too much divided authority" in the present manpower setup, and "too many corners" have to be turned before results are obtained.
 one of the most important things that needs correcting Is that concerning local draft boards, To- Ian said. While they are doing wonderful job of getting men into the army, they generally are in nc position to act intelligently on occu- pational deferment matters"
 President Roosevelt told his press conference ths.. one step towarc meeting deferment problems might be the furloughing of men over s years old, so they could take Job' in war industries. He said alsS that McNutt had promised 6 de- tailed report on the manpower situ' ation next week.
 The Tolan committee report charged that "chaos" dominated the manpower situation because oi the need for a centralized author. lity."

pay of $8 in the past.
 The mayors recommendation will be taken up by the Board of Alder men at a special meeting, which will probably be called Tor next week.
 It had been suggested that two shifts of election day workers be employed, but the mayor decided against this plan because of the shortage of available workers.
 The aldermen will have to vote a transfer of funds to meet the extra election day costs resulting from the action of the General Assembly m extending the voting hours to 3 D. m. In addition to the extra pay, there will be the cost of an added meal, since election day workers will have now to receive an evening meal as well as a noon meal.
 There are 208 city-paid election workers, nine in each of the S2 voting districts and 10 casters of absentee ballots. It is reported tln- officially that the pay this year VIII be SIP each, with the chief modera- tor getting $l5. In the past each hes received $S, with the chief modera- tor getting $i2.
 The General Assembly's act ex- tending the voting hours affects only this years balloting. It is so worded as to make unnecessary any action by local governing bodies.
