high point came when a rosy

backed out from the large fire
place with his bag of toys and
brought forth a great cheer
from the little ones.
Hundreds of eager children
came down the sides of the Au-

LPA)-Reports that tire
mendous progress" is being
made in speeding production
of war materials highlighted
the picture of the nations war
effort, as Washington agency
heads described it last week.
Acting WPB head Hiland C.
Batcheller gave the good news
in reporting that production of
Is critical items-tires, B-29
bombers, heavy artillery ammu-
milton, navy rockets - all had
spurted ahead in November and
that they were liz above the
October levels.
To tighten up the war mobo-
lization and reconversion staff
headed by White House aide
James F. Byrnes, it was an
nounced that a full staff had
been set up to deal with man
power and production prob
lens.
Work Or Fight
Contrasted with the report on
production progress was news
on the manpower front, where
Byrnes took a hand by order
ing that men in deferred draft
classifications either work or
fight. Byrnes claimed his or
der, which would make draft
boards send to the armed serv-
ices all men aged 26-38 VINO
were not willing to serve on
essential war jobs, was aimed
to fill the gaps in Army and
Navy caused by discharges Of
men to fill key war production
jobs.
The Byrnes proposal has been
assailed by labor leaders, who
call this another scare" device
in the drive for compulsory
labor draft.
Few Discharged
They point out that only
few thousand men have been
discharged from Army and
Navy to return to key war in
dustry posts. Most of these
men, they say, were ierked
from their jobs by arbitrary ac-
ton of selective service agen-
cies in the first place.
Questions are being asked
here about the legality of the
Byrnes work or fight" order.
Selective Service, several COM
petent lawyers point out, has
as its job obtaining enough men
to maintain the armed forces.
They assert that it has no busi-
ness trying to administer forced
labor rulings.
Labor representatives add
that VINO has no power to en-
force its rulings on employers,
and that widespread violations
in the form of labor boarding
inefficieucy in using workers
full skilgs and refusal to pay
living wages-still exist on the
part of employers.
