war industries, together with
the general lack of appreciation
for the part that food plays In
war production, there is con-
siderable shortage of workers

industry.
Future selective service

the situation more acute and
threaten even further distribu-

Meanwhile, IL was announced
that the Mead committee hear
ings will be resumed here in the
near future. The exact date OF
the hearings has not been decided

LANSING. March n - Gov
Kelly disclosed today he will sup
port legislation revamping Michi-
gan's vast state mental health
program and placing control

The governor said the director
should be a phychiatrist, ap-
pointed for a six-year term with
salary ranging from $4,000 to
$4,000 and m aking him the

Keily's statement came after a
special legislative committee had
investigated Michigan's present
state hospital administration and
concluded that one-man control
was preferable TO the present
commission form of operation.
Best estimates indicate that
the problems of mental health
will Increase as Americas l0,-
