Cold Wave TO Continue;

tinue to shiver, the Weather Bureau
predicted today with continued cold
all day and the temperature ex-
pected to drop to % degrees tonight.
For those with oil heat in their
homes, today was the beginning of

dicted for today. The temperatures

Farm Income Shows
36 Per Cent Gain
Over Year Ago
Ten Months Result
Assures 1912 TotuI
OF IS Billions
TODAY'S SALES.

Ey the Associated Press.
The Agriculture Department re-
ported yesterday that farmers re-
ceived So per cent more income from
sales of agricultural commodities and
Government benefit payments dur
ing the first 10 months of this year
than in the corresponding period
last year.
The income was estimated at Sl2,-
68l 100000 compared with $780,
100000 year ago. The department
said prospective marketings during
the last two months indicated that
the total 1912 income would equal
the $4,000, 100000 forecast earlier.
Looking ahead. the department
said 1t was probable that farm in
come in the early months of 1943
would be somewhat higher than in
the corresponding months of this
year because of record quantities of
crops and livestock expected to be
moving to market at prices about
the present level.
The return from crops during the
10-month period this year was re-
ported as 81 per cent higher than a
year ago. with tobacco and oil-hear-
ing crops, particularly soybeans and
peanuts, recording the largest per-
centage increases. The income from
livestock and livestock products was
up 40 per cent, with returns from
meat animals, poultry and eggs max
ing the largest gains.
Government benefit payments
totaled s564.000.000 compared with
s434, 100000 in the same months of
1941
The l0-month income by classes OF

Eastman Sets Needs
OF Transportation at
100000 New Workers
ODT Director Concerned
Over Shortage Of
Available Monpower

Grave concern" was expressed
today by Defense Transportation
Director Joseph B. Eastman over
manpower shortage that threatens
to curtail operations of the Nations
trains, buses, trucks, airplanes and
streetcars.
Mr.. Eastman predicted that, on
the basis of recent surveys, the
transportation industry would have
to ind and train approximately
100000 new workers by midsummer
of l943.
Many thousand women, he de-
clares. are able and willing to work
in the industry if they are given
an opportunity. He indicated that
in some instances hours of work
could be heightened without injury
to employees, He pointed out, how
ever, that, for the most part, the
industry already operates under a
standard 48-hour week and in ad-
dition overtime has increased con-
siderably.
Paying tribute to transportation
employees who are working as many
hours as safety permits" Mr.. East
man said in many cases workers
were staying on the job up to the
danger point"
The ODT director advanced a pro-
gram of recruiting. training and
more efficiently utilizing labor to
man the countrys transportation
system. It's success, he said, will
require 'the greatest cooperative
efforts of labor. management. and
all Government agencies concerned. -
Mr.. Eastman estimated that the
railroads alone would require 10000
new workers. He set the require
ments of the trucking industry at
$1,000: air transport at $4,000; local
lines, $4,000; Great Lakes and inland
water carriers, 5000; taxicabs, 1000;
public warehousing, 1900; pipelines
1000, and other transport services,

Twenty-eight japanese ships we're

son Airfield from the Americans.
The story of the second United

pedo attack flotilla" sank an Amer

With the cabinet reshuffle pro-
posal shelved largely because of Mr..

terror post and the chances that it
might have preclpitated a bitter
Senate debate over confirmation of
the new appointments, the question
of transferring the manpower duties

been brought under consideration.
Mr.. Byrnes. too, was represented
as reluctant to add to his already
heavy chores as chief policymaker
on stabilization questions, though
much of this work is closely related
to the manpower problem.
Charged with deciding general
policy in connection with wage, SAL
ary and price controls, Mr.. Byrnes'
authority already extends over
wide sector of the labor field. The
addition Of policy making functions
in connection with civilian and Sc
lective service manpoWer thus would
centralize in him much of the re-.
sponsibility for conduct of opera
