"Big business admittedly will

the committee had received let

others were forced to curtail their

"In the administration of the

In answer to Senate criticism
OF using 18-year-old draftees over
seas, the Secretary stood his
ground in asking a free hand.
His promise that no 18-year -old
would be sent to combat without
at least four months training,
however. he said, virtually rules
out, except in a dire emergency,
the probability that any man
would go into a combat area be-
fore he was 80" But to prohibit
such action, he contended, would
cripple the services in meeting a
sudden, ruthless and violent action
by our possible enemy"
Gen. Marshall said he did not
contend there is no other way to
meet immediate manpoWer goals
This was in obvious answer to
Senate committee insistence that
a 3.5 million force could be mus
tered from the present 19-26-yeal
draft-liable age group.

The proposal would extend the

Memo Outlines World War II Type Controls;
Teeth to Be Added if Voluntary Methods Fail

President Truman's new man.
power memorandum to Govern
ment heads carries a threat tc
put legal teeth into the methods
that were used in World War II
on a voluntary basis.
Much of what he threatened
in case the voluntary methods he
urges should fail to get enough
man power for defense-are the
same controls that employers and
employees accepted in World
War II.
The difference, however, is that
President Truman has said he
would seek legislation, where nee
essary, to put his manpower pol
icies into effect. That was inter-
preted in some quarters as threat
ening national service" legisla-
ton. and legislation carries penal
ties for those who violate the pro-
visions.
PunishmentS Indirect.
During the last war. when
manpower was controlled by
regulations rather than law,
the punishments were indirect.
An employer could be threatened
with loss of his labor supply or
his war contracts. An employe
found various barriers in his way
if he quit and tried to find an
other job. But nobody went to
Jail for failing to do his patriotic
duty.
