Nelson and McNutt
Earlier Story on Page Al,

Adding together the manpoWer
estimated to be needed by the
military, war industry and agri-
culture, members of a Senate in
vestigating committee reported
after a conference with Govern
ment officials today that the Ma
tons personnel bank account"
appears overdraWn by several
million men"
After a lengthy closed session
with War Production Board Chair
man Donald NJ Nelson and War
Manpower Chief Paul V. McNutt,
Chairman Bankhead of the Senate
group said their 1943 programs for
supplies and armed forces simply
failed to jibe" with the amount of
manpoWer available
The committee, which already has
produced testimony that America S
growing military forces may soon
have to lower their physical qualifi-
cations or raise the 38-year age
limit, announced that Secretary of
Agriculture Wickard would be called
Monday in an effort to clarity what
were termed conflicting figures.
Senator Bankhead asserted that
both Mr.. McNutt and Mr.. Nelson
adhered to their production and
manpower calculations,
But" he added, their programs
call for approximately 100000 more
men than in 1912 and there is no
explanation thus far where that
amount of manpower is to be OBJ
tanned
Earlier, committee members said
they had hoped to have Mr. NC
Mutt. Mr. Nelson and Secretary Wick
ard in the conference room ito face
each other on what they character
lied as opposing statistics" The
committee said however, that it
learned at the last moment that
Mr.. Wickard was unable to attend.
Secretary Wickard told the House
Agriculture Committee today he has
no preference" among various pro-
posals pending in Congress, but
would like to see action taken so
we do not drain any more skilled
labor from the farm"
Local draft boards are continu-
ing to induct farm workers he said,
adding, It's shame"

y,
Runaway InfIotion'
Plea by BorkIey
Goes Unheeded
Earlier Story on Page A-1)

Ry the Associated Press
The House Banking Committee
voted today to require the inclu-
sion of increased farm labor costs
in computing prices deemed fair
to farmers, a step far beyond a
measure accepted by admins
tratiOn leaders with some trepi-
dation' of soaring costs to con-
Sumers.
Offered by Representative Brown,
Democrat, of Georgia, the larger
measure stipulates that in calculat-
ing parity prices. allowance shall be
made for the increased cost of farm
labor since the 1909-14 period, the
base period generally used in deter
mining fair levels.
These costs would include COM
pensation for all who worked on
farm 'on the basis of the national
average of rates of pay received by
hired farm workers"
Such legislation has been opposed
by President Roosevelt and others
in his administration on the ground
that it would add billions of dollars
to the Nations food bill and thus
lead to the runaway imitation"
which Majority Leader Barley eau.
toned against yesterday in the SEN
ate
Senator Barley spoke in connec-
ton with the 78 to 2 Senate ap-
proval OF bill to prohibit the de-
duction Of Government benefit pay
ments in setting price ceilings on
farm products. The House Banking
Committee also Endorsed a similar
bill today.
The Senate leader mentioned his
trepidatlon of the results of even
the lesser measure, but he voted
for it, and in informed circles it
was predicted that the admins
tration's acceptance of it might lead
TO a compromise which would head
of such more extensive measures as

Bill Prepared

In Any Tie-up
Union Head Warns
Boeing Employees
Not to Stop Work
Earlier Story on Page A-I)

tEariler Story on Page AID
By the Associated Press.
Evidently spurred to action by
recent work stoppages in prime
war plants, including the Boeing
aircraft factory at Seattle, two
Texas Democrats sought today to
bring the Government more di-
rectly into labor disputes.
Senator Connally said he would
introduce bill Monday authoriz-
ing the Government to take over
and operate any war plant where
production was interrupted by "a
strike or other labor disturbance or
any other cause"
Representative Patman at the
same time filed petition to dis
charge the House Judiciary Com
mittee from further consideration
of legislation to prohibit work STOP
pages in war industry. The move
to force a House vote on the bill,
which Representative Patman in
PRODUCED January 6, requires the
signatures of 218 members.
Boeing Workers Warned.
Meanwhile, in Seattle, Harold j.
Gibson, District Council union presi-
dent, warned Boeing workers not
to stop work at 1890 am. Monday,
when the deadline expires on their
demand that the War Labor Board
reach decision on their long-pend-
ing wage increase requests.
There will be no work stoppage
and no strike" Mr.. Gibson directed.
There wasn't supposed to be work
stoppage yesterday, but the workers
just quit to go to the union meet
ing"
He said the 24-hour general meet
ing scheduled Monday if no WLB
decision is reached, does not contem-
plate plant closedown.
The Patman proposal would make
it unlawful for two or more per-
sons to conspire. together for the
purpose of preventing, stopping,
hindering, delaying or interrupting
any work or service necessary to the
national defense program or essen
ton to the normal operation of the
Government.
Provisions Listed.
While it makes no mention of
strikes, its prohibitions would apply
to organized stoppages.
The legislation would authorize
proper Federal agencies to enforce
changes in wages, hours of working
conditions whenever they found
them unfair or inequitable.
Maximum punishment for viola
ton would be five years imprison-
ment and $4,000 fine.
Senator Connally's measure was
Identical with one he introduced in
December. 1941.
wherever the bills policies have
been applied they have been effec-
tive In settling strikes and labor
disturbances, he said in a state
ment.
The threat of strikes in national
defense plants and the threat that
the coal mines may be tied up by
strike in April renders it imperative
that the Government assert its au-
thority to see that there is continued
production in national defense
plants and in the mines"
