October, Canada has undertaken to
share equally with the United States

Labor Draft Sponsors
Pin Hopes Of Passage
On Workers Affected
BY the Associated Pres.

BY the Associated Press.
Sponsors of national service legis-
lation today placed their hopes for
its ultimate passage on the men and
women who would be called into war
jobs under its provisions.
Senator Austin, Republican, OF
Vermont told a reported he would
not press for its approval until a
need for 1t had become so apparent
that "the American people will de-
mand its enactment"
1--WE are not hurrying this matter, ("
Senator Austin asserted. I'VE feel
that once the whole story has been
told, once the public has grasped the
picture, there will be overwhelming
support for it. I hope it doesn't re-
quire a collapse somewhere to bring
the need home"
Warren H. Atherton, national
commander of the American Legion,
told the Senate Military Affairs
Committee yesterday that while
civilian manpower mobilization Is
strong medicine" it is "often neces-
sary to save life"
Lets Take Our Medicine"
Let's have the courage, the moral
honesty, and the patriotism to take
our medicine, bitter though it may
be, and keep the Nation rolling for
ward on the road to early victory,
and peace" Mr.. Atherton said.
The Legion commander declared
that if the Nation fails to mobilize
its civilian manpower for war pro-
duction "the blood Of the unneces-
sary dead will cling to our hands for
generations to come"
"It is abundantly clear that such
law would in fact shorten the war
and save life," he added.
Sponsors of the Austin -Wads-
worth bill to provide for compulsory
assignment of manpower when VOL
untary methods fail called Mr.. Ath-
erton to the witness stand in an ef-
fort to build up strength in the Mil
itary Affairs Committee to get the
measure to the floor
Chairman Reynolds, himself an
opponent of the measure, said
sponsors did not have sufficient votes
to call for a showdown.
Mr.. Atherton told the committee
that the lack of specific equipment
that could have been produced has
unquestionably cost us, and Is now
costing us, many casualties"
Cites Manpower Problem.
He asserted that 1--WE lost 80 Fly
ing Fortresses last summer because
of manpower difficulties at the
Seattle plant Of Boeing."
Sketching transportation needs for
manpower, the witness said more
than one-third of the Los Angeles
transportation equipment Lies idle
in car barns and garages solely be-
cause of lack of sufficient operators
and maintenance men"
He said the ball bearings industry
is still short 1000 necessary men
and that 1--WE have found no means
of meeting the shortage of more
than 100000 workers on class /
railroads.
The necessity of releasing al
most 5000 soldiers to assure our,
"copper" production was nothing short
Of a disgrace" Mr. Atherton added.
The committee, which has had
national service legislation under
consideration for many months,
postponed further hearings until
next Tuesday when Joseph c. Grew,

asked how Japan mobilized its man.
