said that few persons are using
power and money to keep you from
saving the rubber which the soldiers
and sailors who are fighting for you
need so desperately"
Mr.. Patterson maintained that
without mileage rationing and with
unrestricted use of tires the entire
transportation system would COL
lapse"
TT seems as though these gentle
men who mislead you are either ig-
norant of this fact or Intentionally
traitorous,' Mr.. Henderson inter-
jected.
Shortage Desperate.
1--WE are desperately short of rub
ber," he added. I'VE are wearing
it out needlessly every day. And
none is coming in. Yet this survey
tby the Government shows that
certain groups are misleading you,
the American people, through
whisper campaigns and the printed
word, by telling you that what they
Soll sdSolillC
and you and call mileage rationing
is unnecessary.
Mr.. Patterson declared that the
Army had to cut its rubber require
ments almost so per cent because
80 per cent of former crude rubber
sources was in japanese possession,
causing a serious supply shortage.
If transportation boys down, then
plane and tank production breaks
down." he said. Those who would
risk Gripping transportation take
the chance OF Gripping our fighting
forces"
Admiral Jones asserted that ma
tional mileage rationing is "the
only guaranteed method" of saving
tire rubber. The Navy, he added, is
haunted by the realization" that
tires not used for essential driving
will have to be replaced by rubber
the Navy needs.
There was talk of a congressional

ling Of labor affairs has been lin
tied, but it has been pointed out
that the fairness in which he dealt
with these and other problems dur
ing his Public Works Administra-
ton makes organized labor feel that
the manpower problems will be in
good hands.
Miss Perkins has been under al
most constant fire since she took
Office in 1888 Office after office
has been transferred from her juris-
diction until today she is now re-
ported to exercise little power in
labor affairs.
McNutt Met Opposition.
Mr.. McNutt has been responsible
for the Nations health and well
fare problems since 1899. He
was named Manpower Commission
chairman last April and immedi-
ately ran into congressional oppo-
sition in his quest for operating
funds. His stand on the federaliza-
ton of the employment service and
his support of movement to ma
tionalize the State unemployment
compensation system met with con-
gressional displeasure.
A charge by Senator Willis, Re-
publican, of Indiana that Mr.. Nc
Mutt was candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination in 1914 brought
forth another penalty for the for
mer Governor of Indiana. An
amendment to an appropriations bill
sponsored by Senator Willis now
requires Senate confirmation of all
Mr.. McNutt's appointments Of
81 500 and over.
Brig. Gen. Frank j. McSherry,
operation chief in the manpower
setup, has been reported in reli-
able quarters to be a likely sue
cessor to Mr.. McNutt. 1t was
learned yesterday that Gen. Nc
Sherry was preparing to leave
Washington tonight for Mexico City
to negotiate with the Mexican gov
eminent for the importation into
this country of 10000 Mexican
miners to relieve labor shortages In
the nonferrous metal fields.

the members OF Congress that he
and not military authorities was in
full control of war production.
The reported transfer of man.
power activities to the Labor De-
partment, which has been stripped
during the last decade of much of its
authority, would return to it's con-
troll the United States Employment
Service. This agency was trans
ferred to the Social Security Board
and made a part of its Bureau of
Employment Security in 1899. Last
August 1t was retransferred to the
manpower commission. Besides its
hiring activities, the employment
service has the responsibility of
maintaining current inventory of
manpower resources.
The reported selective service
transfer has the approval of labor
and management. The manpower
commission has exercised nominal
authority over selective service, but
after lengthy elaboration the
WINGS Management Labor Policy
Committee recommended that these
agencies be integrated more closely.
An executive order was prepared
giving the commission complete
authority over selective service. but
Mr.. Roosevelt has said he would not
sign it pending his reorganization of
the manpower structure.
The proposed reorganization also
would transfer to the Labor Depart
ment the National Youth Admins
tration, the Training Within Indus
try program, the Apprentice Train
Ing Service, the War Vocational
training activities of the Once of
Education, the training program for
women, and the Presidents Com
mittee for Fair Employment Prac-
tice, all of which recently were trans
ferred to the Manpower Commission.
While Mr.. Ickes Informed news
papermen Wednesday that he was
content with his present office, 1t is
known that he has long desired
more prominent part in the war pro-
gram. It Is admitted that his hand

move to GUST Mr.. Henderson from
the rationing picture. Representa-
tive Anderson, Democrat, of New
Mexico, said opposition to rationing
would largely disappear If the pro-
gram was shifted from Mr.. Hender-
sons office to the Office of Defense
Transportation.
Representative Boren, Democrat,
of Oklahoma, termed the Presi-
dents order "a dangerous error"
and said the rationing of gasoline
to conserve rubber was compare
BILE to rationing water to save cof-
fee, or amputating leg to cure a
toothache."
Meanwhile, the Public Roads Ad-
ministration estimated that about
so per cent of all automobiles using
rural highways exceeded the ma
tional speed limit of IS miles an
hour, a study showing the average
speed Of passenger cars as 81 miles
and that of trucks SO.

Mrs. John Jay O'Connor, chair
man of the District Women's Di-
vision, reported that sales of War
bonds and stamps during the past
Women at War Week" will prob
ably prove the greatest in dollar
volume reached in any week so far.
All Washington women's organiza-
tons have worked during the week

tailers have contributed generously

indicated no announcement could be

He confirmed that Judge Samuel
/. Roseman, presidential adviser
who has been working with the
President on the manpower prob
lem, was at the White House TODAY,
Judge Rosenman of the New York
State Supreme Court is reported to
have drafted the order in which he
is said to have followed lines similar
to the British system. which places
all manpower functions in the Min
lstry of Labor and National Service.
These revelations came after Pres
ident Philip Murray of the CLIO held
a lengthy conference yesterday with
Senators Pepper. Democrat of Flo
rida; Truman, Democrat, of Mis-
souri, and Kilgore, Democrat, of
West Virginia and Representative
Tolan, Democrat, of California, who
are chalrmen of congressional COM
mittees investigating war manpower
and production problems. Mr.. Muir
ray and President William Green of
the AFL conferred with President
Roosevent Wednesday night.
1t is understood that Mr.. Murray
and Mr.. Green made strong presen-
tatlonS to Mr.. Roosevelt to name a
labor leader for the Labor Depart
ment portfolio, and that the Presi-
dent informed them he had already
decided on Mr.. Ickes. Daniel Tobin.
international president of the
Transfers and Chauffeurs' Union,
an AFL affiliate, is reported to have
been the choice of Mr.. Murray and
Mr.. Green.
Concessions Expected.
Organized labor is said to have
no objection to Mr.. Ickes. but felt
that if change were made a union
leader should be considered. Mr..
Murray and Mr.. Green did obtain, 1t
was said. concession from the
President which calls for appoint
