$1,000 to $500 Offered
For industrial Experts

The War ManpoWer Commission
is recruiting $50 "cons,lltants" to
augment staff of so of these ex-
perts for the purpose of suggesting
to industrial management methods
for increasing production by proper
utilization of labor forces.
DR.. Frank H. Sparks. director Of
the WINGS Bureau of Manpower
Utilization, said yesterday he was
IN charge OF the recruitment pro-
gram and the salary range of the
consultants will be from $4,000 to
S6,500. Men with industrial engi-
neering experience are being sought,
it was said.
Congress several months ago au-
thorized ManpoWer Chairman Paul
V. McNutt to employ 200 labor util-
lzatlon inspectors. Recruitment is
reported to have been difficult be-
cause of the provision requiring
Senate confirmation of employees re-
ceiving $4,000 or more.
Recently Mr. McNutt created the
Bureau of ManpoWer Utilization and
selected DR.. Sparks, president of
Wabash IndD College. as director.
DR.. Sparks explained his staff

Excessive War Hardships

In separate articles in the Nav
issue Of the American Magazine
published today, Price Administrator
Prentiss M. Brown and Harry L.
Hopkins, presidential adviser, give
assurances that civilians will emerge
from the war without excessive
hardships.
Mr.. Brown wrote that, DESPITE
price Increases, dollar land cents
cost of living to the average family
has not risen and may even 20 down
He stressed, however that there is
not the slightest possibility Of any
general relaxation of rationinp or
price control in the visible future
and there is no probability that
either OF them can be eliminated
Immediately after the war"
Mr.. Hopkins, writing on the civil
ian food situation, said the United
States will continue to be the best
led nation in the world lin spite
OF shortages of manpower on farms.
IN spite of the needs of our fighting
forces and our Allies, in spite of
the demands created by increased
spending power and even though
farmers may be handicapped by bad
weather in l943."
He estimated that the average
civilian will get a little more than
5000 calories a day as compared
with the 1900 calories deemed nee
essary by nutrition experts.
