GREATER CONTROL
 ASSURED FOR WING
Move Started to Ease Re. striCtlOms on Raises in
 Job Transfers
BY FRED MULLEN

United Press Stan CoFrOspomAent)
 Washington, April 2o-(UP)-The War Manpower Commission moved today to strengthen and to ease It's restrictions on wage increases tn job transfers.
 This will Do done through Q na. tlonNl employment stabilizatlon agreement which will bring under control the job transfers of every man and woman in an essential activity and permit unrestricted movement of only those in non-es- sentiai activities.
 WING officials said last night they expected the agreement would be in operation within 4e hours" All that remains is affIxatlon of tho signatures of the representatives of management and labor as constitute cd tn tho nine-yian national WING management.labor policy commit- tee.
 All regional directors meet here today for instructions on the ap. plication of the agreement which passed its final hurdle when the full commission approved it ct it's regular meeting yesterday. It pre- viously had been approved by the policy committee.
 The agreement was needed in order to correct Q major discrep- ancy in the regulations on jobs transfers Issued April i7 by War Manpower Chief Paul v. McNutt. Under those regulations, only those workers In the 07 areas or regions with local employment stabillzation agreements could obtain higher wages in Q job transfer made in the better interest of the war efiQft. The new agreement win permit such transfers at higher wages in oil io- callties.
 It also will give greater control to WING over all job transfers by requiring a worker to have the ap- proval of his employer or the WHO in moving from one essential job to another.
 The agreement will not supersede the 07 plans now in effect, but will apply only to the areas not covered by such plans. As soon as a region or area adopts Q local plan in the future, the nationwide agreement no longer will affect that region or area.
 McNutt anticipates that oil sec. tions of tho nation will be covered eventually by a regional or area plan and the national plan is se- ferred to as an interim" plan.
