Detroit seems to be a lucky
town for lot Of people. This
time is has been lucky for Phil
Spitalny. the orchestra leader,
who for eight years has been
touring the country with his all

the anti-windfall provision as
harsh means to assure that war
contractors and brokers cannot
gain from passage of the bill.
GIFT OF TAXES
Senator Connally CD Of Texas
however, described the bill as q
gift of more than $4,000, 100000 OF
taxes, a large part Of it to the
wealthiest taxpayers.
Visitors in the Senate galleries
Uttered as Connally said Santa

Is CAUSE OF FAILURE

ain the opinion Of this sub
committee the principal cause
for our failure 10 meet the Pres
ident's production goals has
been the lack of proper mobili-
ration policies and the necessary
war organization 10 execute
those policies. Alleged material
and manpower shortages are
result Of these lacks.
Pointing TO recurring and bitter
conflicts. such as that between
the synthetic rubber program and
that for production of high octane
gasoline for combat aircraft, the
ee-aSSerted:
'In no single phase of the war
production program does cen
traliZed control exist at the
present time.
NO MACHINERY EXISTS
This Il true of materials. dis
tributiOn, scheduling. use of ia
cilities and contracting. The evil
dence indicated that no machin-
cry EXISTS for balancing the
demands of the various claimant
agencies in such way as TO
preclude the possibility of one
program obtaining manpower at
the expense of others"
The report said that the war
manpower commission. headed by
Paul V. McNutt, and the War Pro-
duction Board. headed by Donald
NJ. Nelson, have been reduced to
the status Of mere service sta
tons which supply the needs Of
the agencies and departments
which requiSition supplies. man

missioner Paul V. McNutt said at a
recent press conference when the usual
question about favoring the 4S-houl
week was asked.
The 40 hour law, under which over
time pay of time and one-half starts
after 40 hours, is wage law, lie
pointed out.
Asked about the continuous process
industries, such as iron and steel and
chemicals, in which sceduled work
time is still around 40 hours, McNutt
said representatives of those indus
tries had indicated to him that etici-
ency and productivity would be lost
by rearranging shifts.
He also pointed out that the ajoI
war agencies have already gone on
record for 4S-hour workweek in wal
industries, and added that in some
operations such the production of 100
octane gasoline, engineers had found
! it dangerous, both to production and tt
workers, to increase the working hours
beyond certain number.
