Acute Shor aye
These shifts IN production en-
phasis do not change the national
manpower picture An acute
shortage of manpower and wo-
manpower does exist, in the criti-
cal cen.ers It's not likely that de-
emphasis in isolated production
areas will cause more than local
! unemployment sore spots" for six
months TO a year.
However, thong lfdl top exc
cutives expect this problem of re-
conversion and unemployment in
deemphasized lines to be one OF
the toughest TO solve in the late
months Of 4s and early in AZ.
1t has been suggested that the
accelerated draft of married men
IN non essential lines will ease
urban housing TO make room for
displaced workers from the iSo-
lated factories shut down. II has
also been urged that displaced
workers be recruited for aug
mented low-cost housing projects
TO shelter new workers in the
emphasized" production lines.
This solution runs into the snag
of scarce materially.
One reason MUrray's statement
of impending unemployment did
not cause more reaction is that
both industriaIists and labor lead
ers in the past have been guilty
of wolf! wolff" stories about the
labor supply.
Careful observers at WPB say
some industrialists have put out
tales of imminent .Iayoffs about
the time they were negotiating for
new contracts. Il was their infer
cree that unless .theyto got the
contracts, there would be wide
spread suffering among large
groups of workers. Getting the
contracts usually cured their
gloom. Some, indeed, asked time
concessions on their contracts be-
cause of labor shortages not long
after their pre-contraet predic-
tions of impending layoffs.
For similar self-serving rea-
sons, some labor leaders have
thrown their weight against
scaling down production contracts.
They are not too keen to see large
blocs of labor displaced and fore
ed into other industries. possibly

under control of a rival labor
group.
But none of the men in posi-
ton to know view Mtirray's state
ment specifically. Privately, some
of them say his b50.00O figure is
too low.
Summed up. it amounts to this:
some program must be worked
out to take displaced workers to
areas of critical labor shortage,
and house them when they arrive.
Otherwise, there'll be an increas-
ing paradox of serious unemploy-
ment in some sectors, and a serious
labor shortage elsewhere.
So far, the most worried ex-
ecutives admit no solution has
been found.

OVER-PRODIUCTION
JOB THREAT
Nv JOHN GROVER


WASHINGTON, June IT,
When CLOS Phil Murray said
$4,000 war workers faced loss of
jobs because they had over-pro-
duced some kinds of war goods,
he wasn't talking just to stir up
a breeze. The problem is serious.
Murray's statement scarcely
evoked mild ho-hum in official
Washington, but some key men in
the war effort are privately wor-
ried dizzy about unemployment
attendant on shifts in war produc-
ton emphasis.
Lessons learned in actual COM
bat cause changes in production
scheduling. If fighting shows that
Item A is of doubtful value in
the field, and we already have
scads of Item A awaiting ship
ment, it's likely that outstanding
contracts for Item A will be can
celed.
There is also the factor that
some easy-to-produce munitions
and supplies are being turned out
far in excess of available shipping
and storage space. (Some ammuni-
ton, powder and automotive
equipment items have been men
toned as well ahead of current
and foreseeable needs).
When these contract cancella-
tons hit plants in bustling indus
trial centers, it doesn't pose much
of problem. Local labor is so
scarce in these critical centers that
a laid-off workman can go to
work as soon as he sees a person
mel manager in any one of a dozen
neighboring plants.
AIsolated Industries
It's not so simple when cancel
lation hts plant isolated geo
graphically. MANY OF our new
powder and munitions plants
were deliberately constructed
miles from anywhere). Theoretic-
ally, they could be absorbed in
the man-hungry industrial areas,
but housing is a stumbling block.
Housing facilities are gravely
strained in the major production
centers.
Coincident with the de-empha-
Sis in some over-produced NUM-
lions lines, there is increased en-
phasis on stepping up production
OF others. The joint New Year
statement of WPB- War Navy
mentioned merchant ship escort
ship and plane production as
