By DREW PEARSON
cit. Col. Robert g. Allen now on active
service with the Army)

WASHINGTON-To keep abreast
of the manpower shortage, it is
necessary to know that at least
three important closed-door con-
ferences have been held on the
subject within the last two months.
First meeting was on Capitol Hill
in the office of the House Military
Affairs COMMITTEES. There, General
H. H. Arnold, chief of the Army
Air Forces, admitted that the war
against the Axis could not be won
entirely by air.
Second was meeting of Secre-
tary of War Henry Stimson, Repre-
sentatives John Sparkman of Al
ALBANIA and John Costello of Cali
fornia. At it, Stimson agreed that
drastic action should be taken to
keep deferred At workers in es-
sential war jobs, but said that the
War Department preferred to re-
main out Of the picture.
At the third and most important
meeting, held on Capitol Hill, Ma
jor General Lewis Hershey fatty
told the House Military Affairs
Committee that we would have to
clamp down on 4-F deferrees If we
expected to make short work Of the
war in Europe.
General Arnold was very frank
in admitting, behind closed doors.
that he and his advisers had been
overly bullish about knocking the
Axis out by aerial bombardment.
Already the Army Air Corps has
transferred $4,000 flying men to its
ground forces and is preparing to
place another 10000 men. qualified
for cadet air training, in mechanical
and other branches Of the Air Corps
ground forces.
Arnold told the Military Affairs
Committee that all applications for
Army Air Forces cadet training had
been stopped for the time being. He
testified that the production of
equipment for our Air Forces was
not keeping pace with the pro-
gram for the training OF pilots and
plane gun crews. We have reached
a bottleneck where we have more
crews than we have equipment. Ar
old admitted. The Air Forces chief
contended that this was chiefly due
to the Tagging" of production.
