Work or-Fight' Law
|Tie-up With Wheeler
Draft Bill Sought
By MIRIAM OTTENBERG.

Efforts to consolidate the Wheeler
bill putting fathers over 20 at the
bottom of the draft list with the
proposed ''work-or-fight" legislation
to speed passage of both measures
were disclosed on Capitol Hill today.
Several Senators pushing the
"work-or-fight" measure pointed
out that 1t would insure that all
draft age men make a contribution
to the war effort and thus accom-
plish what selective service tried to
do with men over % In its latest
regulations.
Questions put to Undersecretary
Of War Patterson and Secretary of
the Navy Forrestal during the Sem
ate Military Affairs Committee
hearing on the work flight"
measure yesterday, 1t was explained.
were designed to bring out that the
armed forces did not want the older
men If they could I'LL their needs
with younger draft elgibles. -
Indirect Control Sought.
Col Francis v. Keesling of Sc
lective Service pointed out that the
principal reason for not freezing"
the induction of all men over 90
was to keep at least IAN indirect
control over them. Men over 20
now are eligible for deferment II
they are in essential work.
Senator Brewster, Republican, of
Maine, and Senator Bailey, Demo-
|crat, of North Carolina, co-spon-
sors of the "work-or-fight' measure,
said the legislation would provide
direct controls over the men in
this age group as well over the mill
lions of ATS and men over 80 who
now can move freely from job to
job. ..t
Col. Keesling estimated that ap-
proximately $1,000 900 men not vul-
|nerable to the draft would be af-
fected by passage of the "work-or-
fight" measure which would prevent
their changing jobs without per-
mission of their draft boards and
would hold up the penalty of service
in a labor battalion within the
armed forces If they did not enter
war work.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana, contended that despite
the new regulations fathers over 20
are still ION the hot spot" and are
selling their businesses and break
ing up their homes. His measure
would bar induction of the older
men regardless of their jobs.
Await Word From White House.
Meanwhile, the legislators are
waiting for some support from the
White House for the work or fight"
measure. Senator Brewster pointed
out that the bill has non-partisan
sponsorship and would sail
through" if the President tells con-
gressional leaders that he wants it.
The Budget Bureau now has re-
ports from the Navy and selective
service on the measure and is await
ing for reports from the Army and
the War Production Board. The
Budget Bureau will advise the Sen.
ate committee on whether or not
the measure Is in accord with White
House policy. 81.

Gen. Arnold Sees Nuzis Forced
Into Bitter Choice in Air War

There is no part of German held
territory we cannot reach" Gen.
Arnold pointed out. 1--WE now can
range as far east as necessary to tie
in with Russian operations. Ger
many is overlapped from the east
and west. They cannot move their
industries far enough to get out
from under the bomb loads"
A typical German aircraft assembly
plant was described by the general
as being complex" target with
the assembly plant in the center and
subassembly units radiating from
it. Bombs must hit the units as
well as the assembly plant. Bombers
must return again and again.
The Germans, it was said, can re-
build an assembly plant in six weeks
or two months, and q machine shop
in from two to four months-even
those which have been burned out,
insuring that all machines had been
destroyed or critically damaged.
The general is Of the opinion the
Germans have been hurt badly by
destruction of their ball-bearing
plants in Germany, France and
italy. Their production probably
has been cut in half, and they need
outside help badly to keep their
war machine rolling.
The AAF Is building up its
strength in the Pacific theater de-
spite heavy demands elsewhere, and
has won striking victories over the
Japanese Air Force during recent
Extended supply lines
and long over-water flights, how
ever. continue to be controlling
factors.
Asked about the big production
program for the Boeing BOO Super
fortress, Gen. Arnold said he pre-
ferred to let the Germans and JAMS
learn about this new aerial weapon
"the hard way"
In response to question, he said
the size of the AAF personnel has
not been reduced. The force now
numbers some 100000 officers and
enlisted men. The reason for re-
ducing the training program for
flight crews has been the low casu-
atty rate in combat, the general
said.
Our q losses" he added, "haye
neither been light nor as heavy as
we expected"
With regard to the effect on Ger
many OF continual bombing, the
General said:
Our Air Force is becoming more
powerful than any the world has
ever seen before. AS consequence,
nobody knows exactly what it can
do.
But We hope to get a pretty good
idea sooni"

Adjourn 10 Await
Call Of New Session

tives of a CLIO union and Mont
gomery Ward & Co., principals in a
labor dispute which recently led to
Federal control of the mail order
house for IA days. today awaited a
call for second meeting for dis
cussion of new contract.
Negotiations for the new agree
ment got under way last night, but

officials and company representa-
ties said further meetings would be

ed that several of the unions de-
mands were outlined to the COM
pany's labor relation manager and
his aides.

Francis Heisler, union counsel,
said Sewel L. Avery, the company's
board chairman, was not present
at the meeting and he added he
had been advised by John A. Barr,
Wards labor relations officer, that
he would not attend. The union
had asked his presence at the meet
ings.
Mr.. Heisler said heading the
unions list of demands was a union
shop and checkoff system, both of
which Mr.. Avery has announced the
company would not grant. The
union attorney said MIR. Barr
reiterated Mr.. Avery's statement.
asserting the company is UNI
alterably opposed to a closed shop
in its broadest sense, and to union
maintenance, the checkoff and to
arbitration" Mr.. Barr refused to
comment on the negotiations.
Union Won Election.
The CLIO union-United Mail
Order, Warehouse and Retail En-
ployes-won a collective bargaining
election at the plant last May 8, the
day the Government relinquished
control of the properties after seiz-
ing the plant April 26. The action
followed labor dispute, the COM
pany refusing to extend the unions
old contract which expired last De-
cember.
Leonard Levy, international vice
president Of the union, announced a
date for a second conference be-
tween the Negotiating Committee
and company representatives would
be arranged with Mr.. Barr.
