Work-Or-EIse Bill Opposed

Washington. Jan. 30-CUP)-Rep. Charles A. Halleck, R., Ind, said in an attack on proposed compul- sory work legislation today that American boys on the battlefronts were sacrificed upon the altar of political expectancy" by promoters of President Roosevelt's fourth term campaign.
 Opposing work -or-else legislation to bolster tagging war production as unnecessary, Hallock said in a speech prepared for house delivery that:
 Before the election and during the campaign, the promoters of the fourth term stated time and again that our production was all that anyone could ask Our people were told that every bullet and shell was going to just the right place, at the right time and in necessary quantities"
 Asserting that we were led to believe that the war was next to over" Halleck added that the "the inevitable result was to lull the peope of our country into feeling of false accomplishment"
 Halleck said these impressions did much to reelect President Roosevelt.
 'T'he tragedy is that our boys were sacrified upon the altar of political expendiency," he said.
 Halleck said it was strange that before the election our production was going along splendidly and that right after the election our production Is going so badly that we must resort to measure of this extremity"
 As the House again began its second day of debate on the work Or-be-drafter bill, the committee decided to refer 10 pending bills, all of which would create a permanent FEPC. to a subcommittee for action Thursday.
 The administration also hoped to sidetrack efforts to attach an amendment eXempting persons af- fected by the bill from closed shop provisions of union contracts.
