WMC Prepares to
Answer Attacks

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-UP)-
The war manpower commission pre-
pared today for coming congress
sional attacks with the declaration
of VINO chairman Paul v. McNutt
that drafting of fathers is a move
dictated by stern Logic" to pre-
vent "a paralyzing blow at our
whole war production program.
I'VE are making sure that the
war will not be prolonged for even
one unnecessary hour that not
one single life is lost which it
would be possible to save" McNutt
said in a radio address last night.
He said it was no easy task to
reach into the homes of Hundreds
of thousands of American fam
lilies" and tell the father and chief
bread winner that he must be pre-
pared to serve in the armed forces
But there is no other way, he said
if we are to achieve the size of
the armed forces ordered by the
commander in chief.

bers of single men eligible for serv-
ice who were still not drafted were

They were attended by Mr.. and Mrs.

The bride wore the traditional

FLAG Ov Err THE
PLOW

BY the Imperial County USDA
War Board Information Editors.
What is the Imperial County
USDA War Board and what of it?
Flag Over The PloW was begun
after the War Board had been in
operation some two years but it
seems possible that with SO many
governmental agencies getting in
farmers hair, some people may not
have learned the difference between
this one and the AAA, FSA, BVD or
some other office of the alphabet.
One reason for the formation OF
War Boards was to bring the al
phabet together so that all of the
parts of the U. S. Department of
county could work together and
with farmers on a., problems af-
fecting agricultural production war
time. Isn't it too bad it took a
war to bring this about?

tried several cars In the same barn,
but on each car We received the
same treatment.
Offered Other Jobs.
1--WE returned to the Fourteenth
Street car barn, where I went to
another class. The director of per-
sonnel for the company called at
pm, and asked me to report for
an interview at 3 pm. When I ar
rived he said we are sorry, but
there is nothing we can do
He offered me several custodial
| jobs, which I refused. He said he
! felt that he owed me something and
when things were Strengthened out,
he would call me back"
Further reaction Of employees at
the Benning barn to the incident
was explained by officials of the
company. When attempts were
made to put the new employe on a
car, some of the conductors and
motormen turned back equipment
they already had taken out pre-
pairing to start on their trips.
One man who had taken car out
came back to the barn, discovered
what had happened, got off his car
and left it there. No cars moved
for about 20 minutes. Company Of
fcials were notified and in turn
called Mr.. Cramer, who advised
temporarily holding off for fur
ther consultation with ManpoWer
officials.
Traffic then began to move again.
Several conferences followed be-
tween company officials and the
FPEC.
Secretary Cramer Of the FPEC
then notified the company May 3
to appear for hearing Ito deter
mine whether the company has in
fact complied with the provisions
of Executive Order 1902 and the
directions of the committee"
Data Are Requested.
The company has been called
upon by Mr.. Cramer to be ready to
testify relating to the employment
practices of the company, and to
furnish certain data. The data are
| the number Of Negroes who have
applied for positions as motormen,
conductors and bus operators, and
who were found to possess in your
judgment, the necessary qualifica-
| tionS."
Mr.. Cramer further asked, prior
to the hearing. the names and
addresses of your employees who,
according to information in pos
session of the committee, refused
| to train Mr.. B. A. Simmons, Negro,
as a bus operator during the month
of February, l943. The names and
addresses of your employees who re-
fused to worked or who threatened
| to cease work because of the en-
ployment or attempted employment
