10000 Men Needed
To Meet Ship Quota,
Admiral Land Says
Labor Droft Favored,
4 to !, by Members Of
Maritime Commission

Reiterating his support of labor
draft where necessary, Rear Admiral
Emory S. Land, chairman of the
Maritime Commission. reported to-
day that the shipyards were short
of labor by 10000 men to meet the
requirements of the first quarter.
Admiral Land, in letter to Chair
man Reynolds of the Senate Mill
tary Affairs Committee, said that
four members of his commission
were in favor of the Austin Wads-
worth national service legislation.
while the fifth member prefers a
longer trial on voluntary basis
Meanwhile. Representative Wilson,
Republican, of Indiana cited made
quate housing. too much prosperity
and too many hangovers' as factors
behind the manpower shortage in
war production.
West Coast Housing Adequate.
Mr.. Wilson, a member of a House
subcommittee which studied de-
fense housing on a 7.0OO-mile trip.
said in a statement that the West
Coast. however, has managed a
"sufficient' public housing program
to meet immediate needs.
The subcommittee now is draft
ing a formal report on ,hearings
conducted in Kansas City. Mo. Los
Angeles. San Diego, San Francisco,
Portland. Greg, and Seattle. Wash.
1T has long been known that
the manpower shortage in many
areas was causing a serious lag in
the production of implements of
war; Mr.. Wilson said
Such manpower shortage. ag-
gravsted by labor turnover and
absenteeism, has been attributed in
part to lack of adequate housing. In
my opinion. other contributing
factors were too much prosperity
and too MANY hangovers due to ex-
cessive use of alcohol"
Mr.. Wilson said the West Coast
"a beehive of activity''-is in grea :.
need of hundreds of thousands of
additional workers.
Food Factor In Turnover.
A food shortage has resulted in
the busy sections of that area and
lis contributing to labor turnover, !"
he said
Mr.. Wilson added the committee
was advised that the Mare Island
Navy Yard in San Francisco has
the equipment for an additional
10000 workers if they were available
And the same situation prevails at
the Bremerton Navy Yard in Seattle
While We still have a housing
shortage throughout the Pacific
Coast area. we have under construc-
ton, or programmed. sufficient, pub
lie housing to take care of all the
war workers we may be able to get. -
he said. Mr.. Wilson declared that
private builders in the Los Angeles
area who constructed 4.5OO houses a
month now are building only 500 a
month by Government quota.

Some legislators expressed doubt
that the larger $4,000 100000 pro-
gram would be adopted without spe-

| Farm State Senators who helped
defeat price control subsidies months

Anderson is 2T-year-old Swedish
