teen leading airplane manufactur,
ers TO-DAY will propose specific
steps, not including the drafting
of labor, to remedy a manpowcr
shortage which threatens airplane
production goals for 1914.
At the same time, manpower Of
ficials said hiring controls now in
effect in plane and ship industries
on the West Coast are being con
sidered for extension TO eight or
10 other sore spot areas, including
Detroit, Akron and the Connecticut
Valley.
The airplane manufacturers, or
ganized into the National Aircraft
War Production Council, made it
clear at a press conference yester-
day that in their opinion the step
ped-up 1914 plane goals could not
possibly be met unless the labor
shortage is overcome.
John Lee. manager OF the West
Coast Aircraft Council said loo,
600 additional workers would be
needed by next spring II the 1914
schedule-50 per cent more in dol
lar volume over 1943 production
is to be achieved.
One OF the National Councils
suggested remedies may well be
the adoption of a wage incentive
plan. L. c. Goad, vice president of
the eastern aircraft division Of
General Motors, said at the con-
ference that proper type OF plan
would increase production by rs
per cent.
