2. The practice of ordering war
goods on cost-plus-fixed-fee pa

vor of fixed price contracting.
Cost plus fixed-fe encourages la
Dor boarding, he said, since the
manufa cturer knows the govern
ment will foot the bill no matter
how many employees he keeps on
his PAYROLL whereas fixed-price
contracting rewards the more eff
ficient producer.
3. The recent labor program
worked out for the west coast
should be made the pattern for
controls in other areas whenever
manpower troubles arise. The
west coast program provides for
inter-agency committees to deter
mine labor priorities. and when
necessary to withdraw war con-
tracts and curtail civilian output
to align the demand for lhbor
more closely with the supply.
4. Employers should promise
