War Manpower Commission
er Paul v. McNutt came through
three mornings of inquisition on
Capitol Hill, but that amt all.
Investigations of manpower pol
icy by the Senate Appropria-
tons, Military Affairs, and Tru-
man Special War Committees
are just beginning of the shoot
ing. From now on it is open sea-
son on this most controversial of
war problems. One other Sen
ate committee and no telling
how many House committees
want to investigate Manpower
shortages, threatening to para
lyze the issue under six-inch
snowfall of testimony.
From all his weller of words,
Commissioner McNutt seems to
emerge unruffled and immacu-
late. The hearings on the hill, he
says, have Ill been conducted in
the most friendly manner. But
tering up the congressman, the
commissioner declares they are
all simply trying to get at the
truth of the situation.
Buttering-up their boss, Nc
Nuts aides say he knows so
much more about manpower
than most of his critics, that
when he explains the situation
as he sees it there isn't anything
left to say.
The fact that Senator Tru-
mans War Investigation Com
mittee called off its plans for a
full dress hearing on manpoWer
after listening to McNutt outline
his views is pointed to as evil
dence in support of this flatter-
ing idea.
What Mr.. McNutt himself
thinks about this is best summed
up in his own words:
Everyone is looking at Man.
power selfishly," he says. Il am
the only trying to look at the
whole picture"
From that you gather that Ag-
riculture is selfish, that the Ar
my and Navy are selfish, that
every interest wanting more
manpower IS looking out for it.
self. not for the needs of the
country as whole. McNutt sees
it as his job to reconcile all the
conflicting demands.
TOO BIG AN ARMY
McNutt leans to the view that
the armed services are asking
for too much on what is purely
an emotional basis of just want
ing a big army for i own sake.
The limiting factor should be,
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1943-02-04

States, in which he won the
open pair championship; the
Vanderbilt, in which he won the
national knockout team-of-four
title; and the summer session of
the Nationals, In which he was
a member of the winning Mas
tiers team-of-four. Three tourna-
ments and three firsts-truly q
remarkable record.
Frey's ability lies in his ca
pacity for making the most Of
the situation. In todat's hand,
which he has selected as his out
standing hand in 1912, you will
admit that his contract was high,
but you'll like the way he play
ed it.
The opening lead gave Frey
NORTH his chance. He ruffed
the diamond ace, cashed the ace
of spades n d put dummy in
with a spade ruff. The top dia-
monds we're cashed, Frey dis
carding two clubs from his own
hand. Then he ruffed dummy's
last diamond. A club lead back
to the ace was followed by
club ruff. Frey then ruffed a
spade with the ace of trumps.
Another club lead then assured
that the queen of trumps would
win the tenth trick, as West held
the king. This is the situation
Frey figured to be his only
chance for the contract.

eBEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTONe

according to McNutt, not the
size of an army that can be rails
ed but the size of an army that
can be transported overseas.
What happens if any of those
eXpeditionary forces suffer such
losses that they have to be en-
tirely replaced, or what happens
if those expeditionary forces are
defeated and the United States
has to fight defensive war at
home is apparently considered
not worth bothering about. Also
overlooked is the possible need
for large armies of occupation
after the war. McNutt believes
that the Army has given him full
information on its plans, though
il has not told him what OF where
the forces are to be used.
AS for the farm labor demand,
McNutt has simply handed that
problem over to the Department
of Agriculture and from here on
it is presumably Secretary of
Agriculture Wickard's worry.
The Department of Agriculture
is supposed to know what its
problems are and where they
are, and should therefore know
how to meet them. The other
McNutt contribution was an or
der TO Selective Service boards
instructing them no to draft so
many essential farm workers.
This genius of McNutts for
handing problems over to others
is supposedly one of his attri-
butes that contributes much to
his reputation as an administra-
tor. But perhaps some of the rea-
sons why so many committees
want to investigate manpower is
that they find it difficult to To-
cate any clear-cut statement on
manpower policy.
AokN ONAtALD
This does not seem to worry
Commissioner McNutt in the
least. He Is going right ahead,
he says. That's all that can be
done under voluntary controls
now in effect, and McNutt feels
that Congress and the country
are not ready for legislation put
ting in compulsory controls. In
other words, there's nothing like
a labor draft proposal in the
works. More money will be
needed for handling the farm
labor recruiting and for the
Manpower Commissions own
u. S. Employment Service.
For the rest, the manpower
supply job will be left largely to
the joint ACKNOWLEDGEMENT sta
Utilization committees set up on
local and regional bases. In the
BIT war production labor mar
kets of the country, stabiliza-
ton committees will be func-
tioning in 100 by the end Of Feb
ruary, and it will apparently be
pretty largely up to these local
committees to veal their own
woes.
The peak in the demand for
manpower will come at the
height of the harvest season this
fall, when an estimated IS mil
lion workers will have to be in
the labor force. That's exactly
half the population, and it means
that every other man, woman
and child in the country will
have to be gainfully employed.
If the McNutt setup, going right
ahead on its present line, can
skate through that crisis. all will
be we'll for 1913. McNutt re-
fuses to guess about 1914.
