BY the Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. s.-The
menace of flood hung over vir-
tually all of Pennsylvania today
and the State began mobilizing
for an emergency.
Federal and State authorities
warned that the same conditions
that existed before the ravaging
1885 foods-ice jams, rising tenn
peratures, deep blankets of snow
and the prospect of rains-again
prevailed from Pittsburgh to Phila-
delphia.
The Pennsylvania Health Depart
ment began shipping typhoid vac
cine to communities in 81 endan-
gered counties. war veterans organ
lied to set up So food stations in
Pittsburgh on short notice, civilian
defense units mobilized in Lancaster
and the Coast Guard announced 1t
was ready to move into stricken
areas with rescue boats.
Trouble was feared from the ice
pocked Delaware, Schuylkill and
Susquehanna Rivers In the east and
the Monongahela and Allegheny
Rivers in the west. Above-freezing
temperatures and rains and snow
were forecast for today. In some
sections, the thaw already had
started.
Real danger can be expected II
rainfall is steady" the Army Engi-
neer Office said.
Families were evacuated as a pre-
cautionary measure from homes
along the Susquehanna near CO.
lumbia, Lancaster County, 60 miles
northwest of Philadelphia. The
river was packed with ice from Co.
lumbia to Binghamton, N. Y. At
some points the ice packs were so
feet high.
Lynn G. Adams, head Of the Penn
syivania Disaster Committee, said
cities and towns along the stream
had only an even chance of escaping
repetition OF the flood catastrophe
that struck them nine years ago,
when, In one Of the States worst
floods, soc, 900 cubic feet Of water
swirled through the Susquehanna
every second.
State police said snow deposits In
the Susquehanna watershed, after
the worst winter in years, measured
56 to 80 inches.

Broad Pasig River
In Heart Of Manila

U. S. Casualties on Luzor
TotoI 7,076, Against

BY the Associated Press.

MANILA, Feb. 8.-The broad
PaSig River, its bridges blown up
by a desperate foe, was the front
line today in the heart of Manila.
which has been the scene of spo-
radio house-to-house fighting,
exploding shells and great fires
set by Japanese suicide squads.
The sprawled and blackened
bodies of Japanese, among $4,000
enemy casualties so far accounted
for on Luzon, dotted scenes of
wanton destruction in the liberated
sector north Of the river. South Of
it, demolition groups started more
fires.
The hberating Yanks, whose
Luzon casualties total 7,076, includ-
ing 1909 killed, are superior in
armored might and have monopoly
in air and naval support, but desire
to save as much as possible of the
city.
Artillery dueled across the Pasig,
river varying from 200 to 300 yards
in width. The screaming shells of
the Japanese tore holes in buildings
at Santo Tomas University. They
wounded soldiers there and also
some of the more than 5000 In
ternees who had undergone three
years of imprisonment prior to be-
ing reached Saturday night by the
first Yanks to enter the city.
Four Big Bridges Destroyed.
The 1st Cavalry and 37th Infantry
Divisions have won all the city north
! of the Pasig, including the Escolta
business district where the enemy
devastated square mile area of
office buildings and other nonmili-
tary structures by firing gasoline
drums and touching off explosives.
Japanese still operated in strength
south Of the river Some American
troops also were on the south bank,
but the destruction of four big
bridges delayed crossing in
strength.
The fate of these japanese was
sealed by the presence of the Amer
ican 18th Airborne Division below
them. These Yanks, 5h miles south
OF the Pasig, were held up, however,
by a stiff scrap around Nichols Air
field at Suburban Pasay, near Ma
nila Bay.
Out in the bay, the guardian fort
ress of Corregidor, which the jap
anese are holding to deny American
naval entry into the great harbor,
was pounded anew by 2O4 tons of
explosives dropped by four-engined
Liberators. 1t was the heaviest blow,
so far dealt "the rock"

Across the bay at Bataan, a grim

today are not manning the war
plants either quickly enough, or
with sufficiently competent work.
ers," Chairman ]. A. Krug of the
War Production Board told the
Senate Military Affairs Commit
tee today in supporting speedy
passage of a compulsory work
bill.
Mr.. Krug's conclusion regarding
the inadequancy of the voluntary
system backed up earlier testimony
OF War and Navy officials.
War Manpower Chairman McNutt
joined yesterday in supporting the
compulsory work bill with Senate
amendments to preserve the expert
ence and procedures of the War
Manpower Commission, but defend
ed what has been accomplished up
to now through voluntary control.
Labor Supply Acutely Short"
THE voluntary system worked
amazingly well in the early stages
OF the war when labor was in rela-
lively plentiful supply" Mr.. Krug
said. But the labor supply has
dwindled, and is now acutely short.
During the latter part of 1914 the
voluntary system began to falter.
Today the voluntary system is not
manning the war plants either
quickly enough or with sufficiently
competent workers"
Mr.. Krug said the number Of war
plants on the must" list that are
behind schedule due to manpower
requirements is increasing daily.
The War Production chief said
Manpower Commission figures show
that while these must" plants need
ed 10000 workers on December 1.
the number went up to $4,000 by
December 81 and to $4,000 by jan
uary, IL.
Since that date, manpower short
ages In TIE steel, brass and alumni
mum industriSc have become SO
acute that they have been added to
the must" list, the witness said,
"Must" Plants Need 25O,0OO.
"In consequence, in my judge
ment, the real need for workers in
must plants is somewhere between
250,000 and 100000 today"
He pointed out that the must"
plants represent only one fourth Of
war industry.
I'm my opinion, If legislation Is
not enacted, conditions will grow
worse steadily" Mr.. Krug warned.
The current labor needs are bound
to increase rapidly in the immediate
future because the military pro-
grams are expanding rapidly" !"
Chairman Thomas predicted ear
lier that the Senate committee is
not likely to reach decision before
the end Of next week on the House,
approved bill which would require
men between 10 and As to remain
at or go to war jobs.
Mr.. Krug already had been on
record for the bill, with the same
changes referred to by Mr.. McNutt
to assure the continuance Of exist
ing procedures for channeling man.

Spearheading opposition to con-
fiInation of President Roosevelt's
nomination of Mr.. Williams as REA

charged that the former National

about electricity

out Of place as Mr.. Williams would
be as head of REA. believe in re-,
lgion, but I haven't studied it to
that extent"
Appears in Unusual Role.
Senator McKellar said it was an
unusual role for him to appear as
a witness before a Senate commit
tee Of which he is not member,
but felt it his duty to state the
facts" about what he had learned
as a member of the Senate Appro-
priationS Committee about Mr.. Will
Iams' work in NYA and as Deputy
Works Progress Administrator.
After hearing Senator McKellar,
the committee recessed until tomor-
row morning, when the Tennessee
Senator will be recalled for question:
ing. Mr.. Williams also Is expected
to be heard again, but Chairman
Thomas said he hopes the hearings
will end tomorrow.
There was heated flare-up when
Senator McKellar insisted upon
reading into the record charges from
old Dies Committee files that Mr..
Williams had been a member of
Communist front organizations.
Senator Ellender, Democrat, of
Louisiana, challenged him to pro-
duce proof of any of the charges,
which have been denied categoric-
ally by Mr.. Williams.
Wants Proof, Not Charges.
Let proof be produced-that's
what counts-not just charges,
Senator Ellender declared.
He moved that the entire testi-
mony concerning alleged links be-
tween Mr.. Williams and subversive
organizations be stricken from the
records unless some evidence to sup
port the charges was produced.
Chairman Thomas ruled, however,
that Senator McKellar should con-
tinue his testimony uninterrupted
on condition that he would be avail
able later for questioning by Mr..
Williams supporters.
At the outset of his testimony,
Senator McKellar said he had
nothing against Mr.. Williams per-
sonally."
HE is kindly, easy-going, per-
suasive-I might use the word Sc
ductive- gentleman" he added.

 And it's bigger because the need is bigger. We're building up whole new air force, with new jet-propelled planes and even huger bombers.

And we're paying the mounting cost of victory-taking care of wounded men who are arrivinginthis country bythousandseverymonth.
