Wallace Sees Need
OF 130-bi||ion Income
For Peace Economy
By the Associated Press.

-
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-vice
President Wallace predicted today
that postwar national income of
more than $4,000 900 900 will be
needed to pay interest on the ma
tional debt and provide full en-
ployment.
At the same time, he said a
$40, 900 100000 curtailment in war
production is probable when the
war In Europe ends, adding:
This would conceivably cost the
Jobs of more than 100000 men
unless plans are made"
He said it was Commonly under
stood" that Bernard Baruch would
soon submit report on the sub
ject to Economic Sterilization Di-
rector James Byrnes and that the
report would undoubtedly contain
suggestions as to how the Govern
ment may help business finance its
reconversion.
He coupled his prediction with an
attack on "big business isolationists"
who, he said, hope to resume profit
able relationships with big German
trusts after the war.
Sees Planning Reversed.
Speaking to 400 labor, political and
liberal leaders at an employment
and reconversion conference spon-
sored by the CLOS Political Action
Committee, the Vice President said:
II do not propose in this talk to
say just what the Government
ought to do with regard to postwar
employment. But, I do say that, in
asmuch as the Government had to
take full responsibility for getting
cooperation from all groups to con-
vert our economy from peace to war,
it will have to take equal RESPONSE
bility for converting from war to
peace" =
He said the postwar national debt
load would be 100000, ,0OG, 900 and
that only through the maximum
productive use of labor would the
Government be able to keep up in
terest payments.
This means national income in
excess of 10000 900 0,OOO," he added.
Some very large businessmen are
making their plans on the basis of
a national income of only $780,
000,000,000. That is not enough to
give full employment or to utilize
the factory facilities which we shall
have available or to carry the ma
tional debt load easily.
Regarding big business isolation

ilton. Gov. John Bricker Of Ohio
was the choice of 20 per cent, while
Mr.. Willkie was the choice OF only
1929 per cent. In this case, Mr..
Willkie received only one vote out
of five. These same delegates were
asked also to name the man whom
they believed would make the poor
est candidate in 1914, and 54 per
cent nared Mr.. Willkie."
Hasn't Led PoI:s.
"Are these members of the Re-
publican National Committee, the
Republican members of Congress
and the delegates to the Republican
National Convention of 1910 the
'four-year locusts' to which Gov.
Wills referred to scathingly?" he
asked
In not one of five public opinion
polls, Mr.. Hamilton said, starting
last May and continued at intervals,
has Mr. Willkie been the first choice
Of the rank and file Republicans.
He never received more than 20
per cent of the votes cast" Mr..
Hamilton pointed out, land in the
last poll he received only Is per
cent.
I'm passing. 1t Is very interesting
to note that Mr. Willkie is not the
first choice in the State of Indiana
where he was born. He is not the
first choice in the State of Ohio,
where he spent many years of his
adult life. He is not the first choice
in the State of New York, where he
lives.
"Best- t-Advertised Man."
But, says Gov. Wills, Mr.. Willkie
can switch enough independent
voters to win And he adds that
Mr.. Willkie is the only candidate
certain to beat Mr.. Roosevelt"
MI. Hamilton said three polls
conducted by DR.. George Gallup
pitting Mr.. Roosevelt against Gov.
Dewey, Gen. Douglas Macarthur
and Mr.. Willkie showed Mr.. Dewey
the best count against the
President, Gen. Macarthur second
and Mr.. Willkie made the poorest
showing of the three. In fact in
this trial heat, Mr.. Roosevelt polled
a larger vote against Mr.. Willkie
than he did in 1910"
Take any one or all of these polls
and Mr.. Willkie never achieves first
place-and that in the face of the
fact that next to the President he
Is probably the best-advertised man

wartime Employment
Has Reached Peak,
Labor Secretary Says
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

Secretary of Labor Perkins
said yesterday that wartime en-
ployment had reached its peak
and coming months may bring
an increasing decline in the to-
tai number of manufacturing
workers. At the same time, War
Production Board Chairman Mel
son issued new decree banning
civilian production from tight
labor areas when it is likely to
interfere with war output.
The announcement OF the civilian
manufacture policy, it was under
stood, followed violent protests from
manpower and military officials over
the placing of contracts for civilian
goods in the Los Angeles and
Bridgeport Comm regions, two Of
the country's most critical labor
areas.
A manpower official said that on
termination of a war contract with
Bridgeport producer of small arms
ammunition, WPB authorized the
firm to resume making ammunition
Tor civilian purposes. He said the
War Manpower Commission was
overruled, despite the fact workers
were badly needed in the same area
J to make ball bearings.
WPB designated a firm near Los
Angeles, he continued, to manutac-
ture a fourth of the 1000 900 elec-
trio irons which are to be made
in the next few months. That ac-
ton also was taken over VINO pro-
tests. The official said that deal
had been held up as the company
baked at low prices the Office OF
Price Administration fixed for the
irons. At WPB it was said "the
price differences can be worked out"
Withholds Comment.
Miss Perkins withheld direct COM
ment on President Roosevelts pro-
posal to draft civilian workers. She
emphasized at a press conference
that overall employment may con-
tinue at high levels because OF ex-
panSion of construction, now at a
seasonal low. and other nonmanu-
featuring activities.
Manpower, however, will continue
to be problem, Miss Perkins said,
because of needs of the armed forces
and the necessity of shifting work.
ers from one type of employment to
another. She agreed that national
service legislation might facilitate
this shift, while withholding any
general opinion of the issue.
The Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee, meanwhile, in response to
Mr.. Roosevelt's request, will begin
hearings Tuesday on national
service act with Secretary of War
Stimson as the first witness. Mr..
Stimson long has advocated such
Legislation. The same morning, the
House Militry Affairs Committee in
executive session will discuss the
labor draft plan for the first time
since receiving the Presidents mes
sage last Tuesday.
Miss Perkins comments were in
connection with release of Labor
Department statistics showing a
100000 drop in manufacturing en-
ployment in December, compared
with November. Total employment
in nonagricultural pursuits, however,
was 38 1886 900, an increase of $4,000
from November.
The net increase, 1t was said, was
due to a 250000 seasonal increase
in trade employment. rejecting ad-
ditional employment by merchants

with baseless vituperation all who
disagree with him.
This is in line with the tactics
that Mr.. Wilkes managers have
pursued for more than a year. They
have brought undue pressure upon
party leaders in every section of the
country to pledge themselves to his
cause before anyone else had a
chance to be heard. They have
sought to attach the stigma of re-
dictionary" upon anyone who favors
fair consideration of all possibilities.
BY false claims they have sought to
stampede men and women contrary
ton their own judgment"
Mr.. Hamilton said the visits he
made several months ago to Re-
publican leaders in 20 States was
taken on his own initiative and ex-
pense.
The Willkie followers have charged
he was sent by Mr.. Pew to oppose
the Willkie candidacy. Mr.. Hamil-
ton said the leaders with whom he
talked believed the party had plenty
of good presidential material and
refused to subscribe to the theory
that the Republican party, like the
Democratic party, has only one in
dispensable man (Mr. Willkie)."
In apparent reply to suggestions
thrown out by Willkieites that Mr.
Willkie may head a third, indie
pendent ticket if the COP does not
nominate him for President, Mr..
Hamilton said:
AS far as I am concerned, I shall
abide by the decision of the con-
vention of my party.
The most recent poll Mr.. Hamilton
quoted was that taken of the Re-
publican National Committee, meet
ing in Chicago, by the Associated
Press.
"Of those who participated (in
this polD," Mr.. Hamilton said, "21
gave as their choice Gov. (Thomas
Eo Dewey of New York, and an
equal number named Mr.. Willkie.
Six other Republicans received 16
votes, while very significantly, %
stated they were open minded at
this time on the subject of candi-
dates.
In other words, Mr.. Willkie re-
ceived approximately only one vote
out of four"
Cites Congress Poll.
In a poll of Republican members
OF Congress, taken last summer by
one OF their own number, Repre-
sentative Allen of Illinois, only 13
out of l74 participating voted for
Mr.. Willkie, Mr.. Hamilton contin-
ued. Mr.. Allen took a second poll
this winter, in which MIR. Willkie
had only six votes out of a total Of
1853.
THE Republican Congressman
participating in these two polls"
said Mr.. Hamilton, were elected
in their own right by constituencies
In every part Of the country, and
they represent all viewpoints upon
current, domestic and international
issues. This was the group of men
who voted virtually as a unit for
the Fulbright resolution pledeinr

operation in international affairs
This should certainly lay the bug
aboo that any one who opposed Mr..
Willkie is an isolationist."
Mr.. Hamilton also cited a poll
taken last September of the dele
gates to the 1910 Republican Ma
tional Convention which nominated
Mr.. Willkie. Delegates from all 4S
States responded.

Three Operating Units
Tell Army Wage Pact
huIIifies Strike Vote
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Three railroad operating brother
hoods which had held out on sign
ing a wage agreement entered into
by the majority of other rail unions
formally notified the War Depart
ment yesterday that the wage dis
pute has been settled, and that the
strike vote has no further force or
effect"
Notification of the action, which
was announced Friday by the White
House, was sent to 1t. Gen. Brehon
B. Somervell, commander of the
Army Service Forces with jurisdic-
tion over the operation of the roads
after the carriers were taken over
by the Government.
Secretary of War Stimson in
structed Gen. Somervell that he was
authorized to approve the agree
ments and to authorize or approve
any agreements between any car
riers which were not parties to the
contracts signed Friday.
This latter provision, however
carried the understanding that pay
ment Of wage increases and allow
ances would not be in excess of those
made in the agreements already
signed.
The latter provision apparently re-
ferred to the fact that agreements
still are to be signed by management
and unions of 43 short lines.
The three unions sending the noti-
fication yesterday were the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen, the Order of Railway
Conductors and the Switchmens
Union of North America.
The agreement reached by the
three unions called for an overall
wage increase of cents an hour and
weeks vacation.
Meantime, a special presidential
board continued hearings on claims
for overtime benefits in the wage
dispute involving Is incorporating
unions with more than 1,OOO, 900
clerical, mechanical and laboring
employees.
Highlisht OF yesterdays hearing
was the carriers presentation of a
formula providing a 9 to 10 cents an
hour increase for the incorporating
employees as means of solving the
overtime issue.
The carriers scale, opposed by
the brotherhoods, would grant 10
cents an hour to the lowest wage
group and 9 cents an hour for all
others. The brotherhoods contend
they already have accepted in
creases OF to 10 cents as correction
OF substandard conditions. They are
asking additional increases, in lieu of
overtime after 40 hours, which make
their total demands liz to 1874
cents an hour.
After presentation of the carriers
formula, the hearing adjourned until
2 pm. tomorrow when the carriers
and brotherhoods were asked to
present detailed figures showing how
far apart they are in their sug-
gested solutions to the overtime is

Completed by Board,
New York Paper Says
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-The New
York Herald Tribune, in a Wash
ington dispatch, says the Navy
board of inquiry appointed to in
vestigate the Pearl Harbor attack
has completed taking of testimony
and soon will issue a report on its
findings.
The paper says the impression in
Navy circles is that the board will
inform Secretary Forrestal 1t has
found no information to warrant
court marital proceedings against
Rear Admiral Husband E. Kimmel,
who was in command of naval
forces at the time of the December
n, 1941, attack.
Army sources, too, the Herald
Tribune continues, consider 1t likely
that the Army board also will re-
turn a negative report against Maj.
Gen. Walter C. Short, Pearl Harbor
Army commander at the time Of the
attack. These sources, the paper
says, asserted the Army board would
issue its findings simultaneously
with the Navy, within tive weeks.
The paper says that Navy circles
believed the board would declare SO
many persons were involved leading
up to Pearl Harbor, and in the hap
penings of the day itself, that there
is no possible way of singing out
any one person to blame for the
attack.
