WASHINGTON, March 10
(UP)--War Production Chief
Donald NJ. Nelson told the
senate military appropria-
tions subcommittee today he
wanted to see labor and manage
ment given "a chance to carry out
their promises"
He said he believed production
can be increased without using
force on them"
Nelson emerging from a tWo-h0ur
closing session with the committee,
said he agreed with other high
rank g of !lcials concerned witt
war production who told the sub
committee yesterday there is no
need for any legislation at this
time"
UnderS2cretary Of War Robert P,
Patterson urged the house naval
affairs committee to reject legisla-
ton to impose a 6 per cent limit
ON war profits and to suspend stat
utory requirements for time and a
half pa for work in excess of 4O
hours a week in war industries.
MEASURE OPPOSED
Patterson vigorously opposed a
bill sponsored by Rep. Howard w
Smith, D., Va, which would i'm
pose the profits limitation and su5-
pend the 40-hour week.
Do lonuyavf yopnYo1ro
immediate revision Of all wage
schedules which provide time and
a half or double pay for work on
Saturdays, Sundays or holidays. He
observed that working agreements
in most war industries now adopt
time and a half for work over a.
hours a week as their basis.
Patterson testified a six per cent
profits limitation. based on the cost
of the contracts performed by any
war contractor in the period of a
year, would completely upset the
war department efforts to bring
about generally subcontracting to
small business.
WOULD CUT PROFITS
"A business that was able to take
about $4,000 a year in war sub
contracts" he said, would be linn
tied to a profit of $1,000
Patterson added that the aver
age of contracts already awarded by
the war department showed u profit
Of less than six per cent.
Smith said he had received some
communications - not many - from
labor sources indicating that if his

Alien
Plans
Urged
House Committee e
Recommends War
Rese++Iemen+

investigating defense migra-
ton today recommended es-
tablishment of a war resettla-
ment board to direct evacuation and
rcSettlement of enemy aliens.
The recommendation was made in
a preliminary report submitted to
the house today. 1t was drafted,
however, before President Roosevelt
created a war relocation authority
and a works corps in which aliens
who are being forced to leave their
homes in vital defense areas would
be afforded an opportunity to work
under federal sponsorship.
The Presidents program - an
nounced late yesterday-Was de-
signed to set an example of "hu-
name and constructive treatment" "
The relocation authority is headed
b. Milton S. Eisenhower, former
land use coordinator for the de-
partment of agriculture.
Many of the house committees
recommendations appeared to have
been covered already by Mr.. Roose-
velt'S program.
INJUSTICE RECOGNIZED
The committee commended the
Army, Navy, FBI and justice de-
partment for their conduct Of evac-
uation operations on the Pacific
coast. 1t added that it retained d
profound sense" of the injustices
and constitutional doubts concern
ing the evacuation of the Japanese
but admitted that mo alternative"
existed.
The committee drew a distinction
between japanese, and German and
Italian aliens on the ground that
the latter two are thoroughly AM
ericanized" and "as a group are
loyal TO the American war effort.
1t urged that special hearing boards
be constituted to issue certificates
to all German and italian aliens
now awaiting their second citizen
ship papers whose loyalty can b.
established beyond reasonable
doubt" These aliens would be given
grace periods" to complete citizen
ship.
DANGERS SEE:
Wholesale incarceration or forced
agricultural labor for the evacuat-
ed Japanese will lead only to large
scale deportation later on, the COM
mittee declared. Jobs outside pro-
hibited areas should be provided for
all Japanese whose loyalty can be
proved. the committee said, and
resettlement communities for the
others must emphasize "a diversifi-
cation of tasks and development OF
new skills," since only 25 per cent
of the evacueeS are farmers.
Permanent resettlement on land
suitable for intensive agriculture
should be made possible for farmers
who desire it, the committee sad.
Finally, the committee said, since
resettlement depends upon Amerl-
canization OF the Japanese -Amen-
can communities, free access to the
communities of the evacuated Japa-
nese must be accorded religious,
educational. agricultural and voca-
tional officials. and education OF
children must continue. Children Of
high school and college age, the
committee concluded, should be
given opportunity for study out
side the Japanese community in
preparation for their return to
normal participation in the aver
age American communities when the
n.Ir hne ended ~

A TRAGIC figure in the list OF

The stamp above, issued in

Alfonso was born May II, 1885,
shortly after the death Of his

the former Archduchess Maria
Christina Of Austria, was queen
regent until the young king took
the oath to observe the constitu-

During his lifetime Alfonso saw

Three years after the Republic

Lola and a divorce for Pris-

Surprise of the year was the
marriage of Bette Davis to Ar
thur Farnsworth, executive of
an eastern airplane accessory
company.
THEY ADMIT 1T
There were few formal we'd
ding ceremonies, but there was
less shyness among Hollywood
people about admitting marriage
and divorce plans. Only two Sc
cret marriages were discovered
those of Director Gregory La
Cava and Mrs. Grace Garland,
and Jack Buetel and Cereatha
Browning.
Plaintiffs in divorce cases
gave the movie colony few
laughs in 1941. oldest details
were those set forth by Sally
Payne in divorcing William
Telaak, gag writer. She said
he wouldn't let her drink milk,
eat liver or oysters, part her
hair on the left side or register
to vote. She charged that he
told her what to wear, how to
walk, not to talk in front of
groups of people because she
never made any sense" and
that he objected to her knit
ing because "he said ! always
got a stupid expression on my
face when ] knitted"
