Agency Coordination
On Output Cutbacks
Urqed by McNut

War Manpower Chairman Paul v.
McNutt today urged co-ordina-
ton of procurement agency policies
on production cutbacks to prevent
q "paralyzing shock" to affected
areas.
Promising vigorous steps to
achieve the necessary co-ordina-
ton. Mr.. McNutt warned that if
different procurement agency cuts
coincide in tight labor areas, "the |
result would be a paralyzing shock,
a waste of manpower and a hard
ship on thousands of workers"
AS examples of sound co-ordina-
ton, Mr. McNutt cited a Lowell
(MassD plant where ordnance work
ers released through a cutback in
production were being placed in a
bearing plant in Connecticut and
Washington Pa) plant where
workers were signed for other jobs
before the cutbacks became effec-
tive.
Would Balance Strain.
He suggested that cutbacks,
(which are far smaller than our
immediate demands for labor" be
administered to reduce the peak
demands for manpower and help to
balance the strain of the war econ
omy.
Mr.. McNutt's warning that VINO
classiflcations of tight and surplus
labor areas should be taken into
account to cushion the effect of
cutbacks appeared III a roundup
of manpower progress made public
today.
One of the stream of VINO re-
leases put out since the Office of
War Information charged that
VINO concealed and withheld news,
today's release reported that the
civilian working force of the Ma
ton now totals approximately ST.
100000 workers.
Several million farm workers, now
In their off season, are not included
In the total, though they are figured
In WINGS latest estimates of the
required manpower pool by July,
1914.

McNutt's progress report:
/. Unemployment has declined to
5000, or 100000 below the bed
rock minimum" set by estimates a
year ago. Those now unemployed
are either unemployables or are in
process of moving from one job to
another.
2. Controls on workers through
employment stabiliZation plans are
now In operation in $50 areas and II
regional plans are in effect.
3. Employment levels above which
employers could not hire have been
established in many areas as a !
means of reducing expected labor
requirements.
4. Extension of the 48-hour week
has resulted in substantial re-
duction in labor requirements In
many communities.
Mr.. McNutt reported the indus
tries which now rate highest priority
for labor are foundries, forge shops,
ball bearing, high -octane gas, syn
thetic rubber, aircraft, ship repair
and lumber.

with a decision of prime magnitude
The Italian message advised MN
that Badoglio was no longer IN a
position to guarantee the carrying
out of the armistice terms due TO
heavy German troop concentrations.
In effect the Italians were kick

The situation required immediate
and decisive action. TIE Allied
course was this:
The announcement of the armls-

transports plowed steadily toward
the landing spots near Naples. "A
stern message from Eisenhower was
dispatched to Badoglio calling upon
him. to fulfill the commitments he
had made.
The penalties which would be
levied against the Italians II the
armistice terms went unfulfilled
to the best of their abilities were
stated in the stiffest imaginable
terms.
Shortly after the announcement
of the armistice was made, confir-
nation was received from the Ital-

agreement.

his bill to prevent the drafting of
fathers. The administration is eX-
oected to block it, at least tenn
porarily, by sending it back to COM
mittee for a survey of manpower
problems.
Such action will prepare the war
for new manpower demands by
farm interests who insist that a
shortage prevented maximum har-

representatives may be expected to
demand stabilization for their en-
plo-es in the interest of great war

foreign policy and manpower, the
