Ban on Reconversion
Expected 10 Help Fill
Manpower Needs

Manpower officials have predicted
that the new order delaying resump-
ton of civilian production, coupled
with the cooperation of workers and
review of plant facilities, will help
materially in dealing with increased
manpower requirements caused by
expanded must war production.
Summing up the new manpower
requirements, Charles M. Hay, War
Manpower Commission executive
director, gave this four-point "ob-
vious answer" to the problem:
First, he said, there can be no
diversion Of qualified workers from
war to civilian production and, "fo1
time at least" reconversion must
be confined to preparation and plan
ming rather than large-scale re-
sumption of production.
Urges Workers Be Informed.
Second, he advocated in-plant
programs to acquaint workers with
the urgency Of the present needs
and to emphasize the importance of
their staying on the job.
AS third measure, Mr.. Hay urged
a most careful scrutiny" Of each
plants production to determine
whether there are workers engaged
in less urgent work who might be
transferred to the must" items in
the same plant.
AS a fourth step, Mr. Hay said
VINO is planning a recruiting cam
paign for women workers, particu-
larly in communities where an ex-
pansion of small arms production Is
scheduled.
In addition. he explained. VINO
will use the methods already tried
in breaking production bottlenecks
caused by manpower shortages
employment ceilings, priority refer
raj of workers, diversion of workers
released through cutbacks into the
new "supercritical" programs ano
| transfers of workers from non-
essential activities by negotiation
with their old employers.
100000 Workers Can Be Used.
Mr.. Hay pointed out that more
| than 1000 workers are needed i'm
mediately in plants producing TOP
must" war items needed in comba,
operations. Actually, he said, 200,-
900 workers could be used immedi-
ately on critical war production.
On top of that are the suddenly
imposed new requirements TO,
facilities gradually going into pro.
duction. Some of these plants
aren't ready, while others can &c
