The whole manpoWer situa-
ton focuses attention on e
more on question of draft
ing labor for work in industry
and on farm.
Here are the pros and cons as
aired before congressional COM
mittees:
Principal argument offered by
proponents CT National Service
legislation is that it would pro-
vide for efficient use of the ma
tons manpower in the war ef-
fort - would assure that man.
power isn't dissipated in nom
essential work.
On the central argument over
whether a labor draft is demo-
cratic, Undersecretary of War
Robert p. Patterson summed up
the views of those favoring such
a draft:
If it is democratic to tap a
man on the shoulder annd send
him to fight the Japs in New
Guinea jungle, can it be undem-
ocratic to select man or woman
to load shells, work on an air
plane or stay on farm?

some to say, 1 do not choose to
serve. 40
Il firmly believe that not I'M
til there is imposed on every
man and woman the equal OBJ
legation to render service in the
war effort, will this country
make the about war eff t

has had trying time of it these
last two years.
Residents of this Southern Mary
land town admit they'll probably
regain their mental equilibrium, but
are convinced the village never will
be the same SLOW paced, easy-going
place they knew until less than two
years ago.
What brought on the violent up
heaval was the Navys decision the
lush farming area of Cedar Point
was the ideal spot for a permanent
station for air experimentation.
That decision was made in 1941
When the work began in March,
1912, there also began the meta
morphosis of quiet country town
into a bustling, crowded, chaotic
and frequently violent boom town.
Leonardtown was the only settle
ment of any size near Cedar Point.
1t became the home of hundreds of
workers at the base, the Saturday
night mecca for others who lived
on the reservation or in nearby
trailer camps, and the shopping
center for the money-laden wives
of the workers.
The towns population quadrupled
from about 600 to almost 5000. From
the jostling, clogged streets violence
fared. The county's 18th century
jail overf1owed and court dockets
swelled.

developments in the dehydration of
fruits and vegetables
Many things are yet to be learned
about the dehydration OF foods" DR..
Corbett said 1T may be that in
some instances a dehydrated prod
ucts will have little more food value
than saWdust, so it is important to
determine its vitamin content. The
Maryland station is attempting not
only to learn how to dehydrate. but
also what happens to the nutritive
value of the product during the de-
MIGRATION process"
DR.. Corbett said the station also
has been conducting research on
substitutes for scarce chemicals used
in the control of insects. He said
work also has been done in develop
ing concentrated sprays which will
reduce the number of man-hourS
of necessary labor, thus aiding ma
terlally in the labor shortage.
Other projects which the station
has been conducting, he said, in
clude the development of better
dairy feeds, ways of maintaining
crop production in the face of
shortages of certain fertilizers, ways
OF increasing the efficiency of farm
labor, increasing the efficiency of
distribution and marketing of farm

In his annual report, d.. Corbett
said the station began to consider
adjustments to the defense effort 10
months before Pearl Harbor. He
added that the wisdom of these early
plans have been proven by subse-
quent events
Describing the Importance of de-
hydration in the war effort, DR.. Cor

the best answers to the problem of
reducing food bulk for shipping.
"Dehydration apparently will allow
many foods to be kept under varying
conditions over considerable periods

effect on food value was not fully

The Maryland station has devel-
oped experimental dehydrators and
has produced dehydrated products
under controlled conditions, he said.

There were theaters and houses

Board Follows Policy
Proposed by Dorden
BY the Associated Press.


RICHMOND, Oct. 6.-The Board
Of Visitors of the College of Will
liam and Mary has instructed the
president of the college and the
boards special committee on fra
ternities to negotiate for the pur-
chase Of fraternity owned proper
ties and to proceed with plans for
the erection of mems non-residence
fraternity lodges, it was announced
today.
Action of the board. taken at
its fall meeting. was in line with
the proposal of Gov. Darden. who
said he would ask the General As
sembly to abolish fraternity houses
at State-supported institutions of
higher learning AS living places for
students, as safeguard against
social exclusiveness and "snobbery"
at schools supported by public
funds.
The University of Virginia, act
ing shortly after the Governor made
his proposal, set up committee of
and alumni which reported there
were good many more reasons for
permitting students to live in far
ternity houses than valid reasons for
the abolition of the practice. It
recommended, however. that a dean
OF fraternities be appointed.
Under the resolution adopted by
William and Mary's board of visitors
Saturday, Dr. John E. Pomfret.
William and Mary president. and
the boards Committee on Frater-
mites were directed to go forward
with plans for the the purchase
OF the fraternity owned properties
which would be converted into
apartments for the use of faculty
members and for construction after
the war of number of lodges to
be rented to existing fraternity
chapters.
