parts of Pennsylvania,
Mr.. Wilson's order took into &C
count such a condition as exists
in the textile industry. A Sur
plus Manpower Committee to be
set up would make recofrimenda-
tionS for action on an industry
basis rather than on an area basis.
DR.. Arthur S. F1emming, man
power assistant to Mr.. Wilson, said
the committee would have to de-
eide, after hearings and study.

apply to an entire industry or only
