the port could be made to handle
$4,000 tons daily" he explained.
Instead, one peak day $4,000 tons
we're discharged and $4,000 tons ac-
tually cleared out of the port"
Italian labor was used. "At first
the workmen were weak from lack
Of food" Gen. Stewart explained.
I'VE fed them up and they got to
be pretty good laborers. OF course,
they stole lot of the food supplies
and the stronger they got, the more
food they could get away with in

The Senate Postwar Planning
Committee went on record today
against establishing Nationwide

ards by Federal law.
The conclusion, one of the most
important recommendations In .

problems of postwar reconversion,
had been closely guarded commit
tee secret, but it was disclosed to
the Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee yesterday by Senator Austin,
of Vermont and became
a part Of the public record today.
Instead of writing uniform sched-
ules Of payments to the joblesS into
pending reconversion bills, as had
been suggested by War Mobilization
Director Byrnes, the postwar plan
ming group favored letting the States
continue handling the payments in
their own way.
However, the committee made q
number of significant recommends
tions. These included:
That the Unemployment Tax Act
should be amended to cover employ
ers of less than eight persons and
maritime workers employed by
private shipping companies. -
That Federal loan funds be es-
tablished from which loans could be
made to any. State where the SOL
vency of the State unemployment
fund was threatened.
That the States survey their situ-
ations with q view toward increas-
ing maximum benefit payments and
extending the duration Of the pay
ments.
That Government workers, in
Guiding employees Of the War Ship
ping Administration, be covered un-
der the laws of the States where
their wage credits would have ac-
cumlated had they been under the
law previously. The Federal Gov
ernment would reimburse the States
for any such payments.
