Workers View
of Absemteeism

Monday he will have to work
81 hours.
W[>OR years, the workmen
l. have responded nobly to
the pep talks and the pleas from
higher up-the proof Ii I'm new
records I'm output all over the
country.
''But, rs with dope, the effects
are becoming more feeble. Our
government and newspaper ex-
perts have always gloated that.
In Nazi Germany with Its forced
labor, there would come a satu-
ration point and the workmen
Just could do no more, or even
diminish in their productivity.
'WeH, &c seems to me that it
can happen here. You won't see
it In statistics, dollar output. or
man-hour figures, but there IL Is.
Ask the man in the shop, and 1
don't mean some one that got
into industry lately by way of a
six weeks intensive training
course, but some one that has
been I'm it for years"
Another worker thinks that
increased income taxes may be
responsible for some of the alb
senteeism, saying that the tru-
ants may figure IT better to
make less and enjoy themselves
more, but this is an argument
that / dismiss with the thought
any person who really feels that
way about the matter, is lacking
in patriotism.

CONGRESS- ROLE In.
WAR MOBILIZATION
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, June 19.-lt is
the custom to deride Congress and
few men on the Hill won't admit
that much of the criticism is well
deserved.
However, credit should be given
where credit is due and in spite
of the limitations of the Congress
sional committee system, some of
the committees operating on the
Hill have certainly pushed this
war forward.
The activities of the Truman
committee in uncovering some of
the more shameful aspects of the
national defense program are well
known. Senator Byrd's economy
committee has kept the executive
agencies cautious in expansion and
expenditures. The House Naval
Affairs committee has saved mil
lions by blocking war contract
chiselers and forcing the re-nego-
tiation of contracts. Rep. Robert
Ramspeck's Civil Service commit
tee was, for a while Git seems to
have gone to sleep lately doing
yeoman service in keeping the
vast, unwieldy government per-
sonnet expansion from bursting
its seams, creating inequalities for
the workers and inefficiency for
Uncle Sam.
There are others that deserve
mention, but that's enough to
bring US to a concrete case.
Nearly everyone in Washing !
ton expressed surprise when the I
President set up his new Office OF /
War Mobilization and named
James F. Byrnes as its chief. Even /
severe administration critics call |
ed it step in the right direction.
More than two months ago,
Sen. Robert R. Reynolds, chairman
of the Senate Military Affairs /
committee, appointed sub-com-
mittee on war mobilization. When
the subcommittee brought in its
report nearly a month ago and a
full two weeks before President /
Roosevelt set up OWN, it didn't |
even then get more than passing i
mention. 1t should have.
in brief" reported the commit
tee, mo overall program has ex-
listed Tin the war production eff I
fort) nor does now exist. Nor does
any war agency exist, the respon-
sibility of which is to balance and
integrate the various but equally
essential programs"
The committee pointed to the
steel shortage, which results In
some essential programs tagging |
while others are shot forward.
Over-expansion of some war in
dustries was unearthed, side by
side with complete neglect of
small plants that could have done
the same job.
-
st would appear that the War
Manpower Commission has been
reduced virtually to the status of
service station attempting to
supply requirements stated by a
number of claimants" the COM
mittee said
Testimony of the War Produc-
ton Board vice chairman Charles
E. WILSON, indicated that that
agency also has been reduced to
service station status. Unilateral
determination are made by the
armed forces, maritime and ship
ping agencies, the food administra-
tor, the rubber director, and the
petroleum administrator" land
WP8 has no authority over any
of them.
The committee reported that al
though WPB was originally estab-
lished to mobilize the nations re-
sources for war, nearly all of its
powers had been redelegated, by
executive order or by the simpler
expediency of having some COM
peting agency head merely take
the ball and run with it.
