Schedule Debate On Wallace Nomination To Delay Action On Manpower Measure ———” Wjshingtoii. Feb. 2s. — (VP) j Semite Deinoeratie leader Albett W. I Barkley today virtually abandoned l hope of completing senate action i on manpower legislation this week. | Barkley told reporters ithe sea- ! ale will lay aside the pending m m- | power bill tomorrow to debate the nomination of Ht'tury A. Wallace to ! be secretary of commerce. "I don’t know how long the Wali lace nomination will take," Barkley said. "I hope that k won't take more than one day. But. it reduce,the chances of fiiiislilng the manpower bill this week. We may have it before us yet next M mday." Barkley said that a large number of senators still haven't made up their minds after two days of dehate whether they will favor the, administratlon-baeked labor draft approved by the house or the l --si drastic ineaisure favored by the senate military affairs committee. He said he expected :he senate eventually to pass a bill which will i

throw the whole question of man- ’ power legislation into a conference between senate and house representatives. The senate debate was three-sid ed One group wanted the semi e military affairs committee bill without change. This would give lego’ sanction to war manpower comm ssion employment ceilings and impose a SIO,OOO tine and one year in jail on employers who violate them. Another group wanted to eliminate the penaky provision A third group favors a return to the principle of the house bill under whirr, men from IS to 45 would be liable to draft for combat or essential jobs under direction of the selective service system. Regardless ot which group wins, congress appeared to be headed toward an unqualified re-affinnati.m of the principle that essential farm labor mu«t not be drafted. 62 MEN ARE SENT (Continued From Page One) r ward Kipfer.
