In response to committee ques-
tons, Gen. Somervell said that if
existing plans for meeting the la
Dor requirements in critical indus
tries do not succeed, the alterna-
tive would be national service leg
islation.
Congress has had the AUSTIN

fore it for two years, but has shown
no inclination to push it.
ManpOwer Remedies.
The remedies now being relied on
are recruiting through the ma or
labor organizations, screening OF
civilian production and possible con-
/ sideration of the bonus suggestion
Gen. Somervell testified there are
100000 fewer persons in war in
!; dustry today than a year ago. He
estimated the present labor short
age on Army requirements alone at
311 ,479 workers.
| While committee members were
questioning him about the Army s
efforts to dispose of SURPRISES when
ever possible, to avoid throwing
large stocks on the market in the
postwar period, Gen. Somervell
said:
Some people would like us to fire
/ the last shell at the last Jap. Just
after we have eaten the last K ra-
ton. OF course, We won't be able
to do that but we are doing the best
we can"
Senator Ferguson asked if actual
shortages at the front are unlikely
if the present production program
Is met.
"On the contrary, I'd say there
is every reason for expecting short
ages at the front unless manpower
needs are met" the general an
sWered.
Senator Burton suggested the sit
uatlon could be summed up by saw
ing that while there have been
no actual shortages at the front
to date, the fighting men have
stepped up their pace and we have
got to step up our work on the
home front to keep up with them. +"
Gen. Somervell agreed that de-
scribed the situation.
Senator Tunnel. Democrat. of
Delaware said he heard a speaker
on the Army Hour yesterday saw
that they fired two shots when
they should have fired five and
asked the witness to elaborate on
| that.
That has been due to the diff
ficulty of getting shells from the
ship to the firing line" he replied
The difficulties so far over there
have been unloading. What We
must be sure of is that when those
conditions improve that we are able
to lay down on the other side all
that they need"
Senator Mead asked if it would
be helpful to take heavy industries
from under the USES job-referral
system and let them hire direct.

sion takes away my breath. To our
left machineguns begin and here
come the Ami.
Now Ami artillery ceases and
Ami tank guns are firing like mad.
But Ami infantry takes cover, the
attack slows down. 1t is stopped.
Unbelievable. Now we move for
ward to counterattack. Can't go far,
though. Our people are dropping
like tired flies. Slowly Ami artil-
lery begins. 1t is going again. Drum
ming, drumming, drumming without
letup.
Our people are overtired. When
the Ami really attacks again then
he has got to break through.

held any longer. Some of our boys
have run away but we are going to
fight.
Nov Ami artillery is worse than
ever. Suddenly the tanks and hordes
of Amis are breaking out of the for
est. Terrible fire meets him but he
does not even take cover any more.
We shoot until the barrels sizzle. We
think the worst is over when sud-
denly he breaks through on our left.
We cannot hold him any longer.
There are only few of us left here.
Now there are only five.
We have got to go back. Already
we can see the brown figures through
the trees. AS they get to within 10

They are not even shooting at

on my back.
Maybe I will get out of this alive.

then perhaps some comrade will find
