Undersecretary of War Patterson
told the Senate Military Affairs
Committee today in urging en-
actment of the Austin Wads-
worth bill to permit assignment
of workers to essential industry.

His statement appeared to be in
answer to testimony of William

would mean involuntary servitude. :"
Chairman Reynolds announced
Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker will testify
on the whole manpower situation
at 10 am. tomorrow in the caucus
room of the Senate Office Building.
Meanwhile, broad revision of the
bill appeared imminent today to
assure more woman workers in the

Supporters of the bill indicated
yesterday willingness to allow labor
leaders to assist in the revision as
the Senate passed and sent to the

for prompt enactment of a civilian
