Pacific Shipyards Cut
$1,000 Workers on |
Future Requirements |
BY MIRIAM OTTENBERG.

Dy 1vAAANAhVA "
Indicating that some West
Coast shipyards had overstated
their uanpower needs, the War
hangover Commission reported
today 1t had pared down the
future labor requirements in the
Pacific yards by $1,000 workers.
In its first report on the West
Coast manpower program ordered
by Office of War Mobilization Di-
rector Byrnes because aircraft pro-
duction was being threatened by
labor shortage, VINO said that fu-
ture employment needs in % major
yards had been reduced from 130,-
900 to $4,000 workers.
VINO Chief McNutt reported that
the most drastic cutback in ship
yard labor requirements occurred in
the San Francisco area where we'll
over 40 per cent of the total Pacific
Coast labor force Is located.
Nine Major Yards Affected.
Although the nine major yards
IN that area previously reported
they needed over $4,000 workers, he
said, they will be allowed to expand
by only $500 workers.
Meanwhile, he said, aircraft en-
ployment has taken an upward turn
with an increase of nearly 1900
workers during October. He re-
ported that two of the most critical
plants, Boeing and Lockheed had
already asked that fewer workers
be referred to them because they
were unable to absorb so many new
workers SO rapidly.
In each area. he said manpoWer
prlorities committees have set a
figure on the number of workers a
plant may hire. In the major plants
the figure was set by the urgency
of the plants production. Where
plants have no production rating,
the employment figure is frozen"
as of recent date.
Job Transfers Controlled.
Each Of the critical areas, he said
aso has some form of controlling |
the movement of workers. In some /
areas these controls cover all work
ers while in others the controls are
limited to men and women in Sc
lected occupations. Some key en-
ployerS are permitted to hire at
the gate but in most areas workers
must be hired through the United
States Employment Service, au-
thorized Government agencies or
labor unions
Mr.. McNutt said that so far the
program had resulted in no sub
stantial cancellation of contracts
or curtailment of civilian activities.
He reported, however, that contracts
placed with West Coast yards for
the building of l3 deStroyers, cruis-
erS and fleet tugs had been Cancelled |
and awarded to several East Coast |
yards. Several firms, he said, have
begun to shift from low priority to |
highly urgent new construction and |
ship repair work.
Among other points of progress"
he noted that labor turnover had |
been reduced in the aircraft plants. |
that additional workers had re-
ceived occupational deferments and
that the program as a whole is
gaining recognition and support
throughout the region"

when this began we had an army hardly bigger

America has accomplished during the last IL months

THE GOOD EARTH,

Americans are called the most
wasteful people on earth. Races in
Europe and Asia could live on the
waste of our homes, restaurants and
hotels. We laugh at the Scotch,
with slender incomes. With more
abundance, we may learn to follow
them in careful living. I have seen
hungry people, In big cities, gather
ing in their small wagons, garbage
that was left on the curb for the
city to collect.
Western farmers leave costly COM
bines out in winter to rust and be-
come junk. Eastern farmers plow
land At only for grazing. They plow
around a steep field. The down
burrows become water channels, de-
nuding the land. Flowing should
always be on the level. Corn culti-
waited down hill, leaves little drains
age systems.

No Roosevelt Cowards

While the President and his family are accused OF
many shortcomings, practically one of them are
uncalled for and untrue The Roosevets nave peen
held up to bitter criticism by the press, radio, and
from the speakers platform. but the President ana
his wife seem to it all good sports and good
American citizens If they displeased,or rrltated.
they fail to show it, and when such criticism is called
to their attention the is invariably the same

they want it. However, there is one criticism that
stirs the First Lady, wrath and that is insin-
uation that her seeking, and are given easy

the truth knows that such is far from the truth In
fact of the of the president in the war, not

to state and believe that it be proven that Nor
gan county has not boy in more dangerous position
in the war, than the Presidents sons. Because
of the fact that they the OF the President
they have not received the publicity and praise that Is
coming to them because their father-the commander
inchief has to it that publicity concerning them
be kept in the background.
It is stated on good authority that the Roosevelt
boys have been severely criticised by their superior
officers for the daring chances they take. One of
them was recently awarded the Navy Cross for hero
ism for his part the Japanese-held Maxim Island
last August He was second in command Of the raid
ing forces and cited for extraordinary heroism
and distinguished service and beyond the ordi-
nary call of duty yet but little publicity was given it.
The President, his wife, and none OF their relatives
seem to know the meaning of the word fear. We men
