Easing Of Job Freeze
To Permit Civilian
Output Held Likely
We Day Cutbocks Seen
As Reason for Change
In Deferment Rulings
By the Associated Press,

Current draft regulations
freezing industrially deferred
men to war jobs will be eased
somewhat after We day.
High manpower officials, who
asked anonymity, acknowledged to-
day that with the full surge of mu-
nitions cutbacks after Germany's
final collapse, it will be necessary
to allow some of these men to turn
to civilian goods production.
At present industrially deferred
men 10 through 81 in war plants or
war supporting activities, may
change jobs voluntarily only with
draft board permission.
Job Jumpers Now Face Draft.
Generally, permission is withheld
unless a transfer would result in a
greater contribution to the war.
Those who ignore this ruling are
drafted. Men not physically fit go
into special noncombat units.
While a layof because of a war

cred a voluntary separation, it does
not mean, at present, that a re-
leased worker is free to accept any
new job. To qualify for continued
deferment he must go into an occu-
patton on the Governments list of
essential and critical activities.
That list now does not include
such jobs as automobile and re-
frigerator production and dozens
of others that will open up as re-
strictions are lifted.
Modification Need Seen.
Manpower officials agree that
unless the existing restrictions are
modified they could contribute to
joblessness In areas where war work
diminishes or disappears after We

Put into effect late last year at

MoIotov Is Believed
Waiting Stain Ruling
On 2Key Peace Points
Big Four Is Reported
Virtually Agreed on
Changes in 'Ooks' PIon
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
Associated Press Stafi Writer.

SAN FRANCISCO, May S.
Soviet Foreign Commissar v. M
Molotov was believed seeking in
structions from Premier Stain
today on two key changes in the
Dumbarton Oaks world security
plan.
With these two exceptions-on
provisions for reviewing interna-
tional relations and fitting regional
defense arrangements into the pro-
posed World Security Council-the
United States, Russia, China and
Britain were reported in full accord
on Is or 20 amendments to the
Dumbarton Oaks plan.
This plan was worked out in Big
Four meetings at Washington last
year as the basis for world peace
keeping organization.
Molotov Wants "a Hours.
Mr. Molotov was reported to have
agreed in principle to the review and
regional security proposals, but
asked "a hours from last night to
reach a final decision. American
officials, elated over this degree OF
Big -Four unity, hoped that full
Russian concurrence would be forth
coming before midnight.
If it is not, Russia may have
alternative proposals on these points
to submit to the United Nations
Conference.
Secretary of State Stettinius
called a news conference for today
to explain what the whole set of pro-
posals is about and how, as the spon.
sors claim, they would strengthen
and give flexibility to the proposed
world organization in its main task
of building a secure peace.
The Big -Four agreement on sc
many points appeared to eliminate
many sources of possible controversy
from the remaining weeks of the
United Nations Conference. How
ever, it remains to be seen how ag-
gressively small nations will push
amendments on which the Big -Four
have not taken position.
Small Nations Protesting.
Several delegations already have
assailed the veto powers over peace

putes which the big nations would
have in the security council.
To compose their joint amend
ments the Big -Four Foreign Min
isters-Mr. Molotov, Mr.. Stettinius,
British Foreign Secretary Anthony

T. v. Soong-worked intensively for
two days in the penthouse apartment
