Renews Plea For Manpower Bill Senate Passes Bill On Labor Control Washington, March 9.—•(UP) L - President Roosevelt today renewed his plea for enactment of strong manpower control legislation backed by government authority to assign men to war jobs. The voluntary manpower com trol system, he told a news conference, has failed to produce a sufficient work force to supply the necessary materials of war. IHis discussion was viewed as a stimulus to congressional conferees who will start wrork soon on their efforts to write a compromise bill acceptable to both house and senate. The house passed a bill some weeks ago which would provide fines and penalties for. men 18 to 45 who refuse to stay in or take essential jobs. The senate passed a bill yesterday which would give statutory backing to the war manpower commission’s orders limiting the number of persons an employer may hire. The senate provided penalties against recalcitrant employers, but none for workers. IMr. Roosevelt made it clear today tha the preferred the house bill. He has said so before, however. And ’it still was (believed doubtful, to say the least, whether the senate ever would accept such a bill. The congressional conferees who will seek to compromise the widely diverging house and senate bills have not yet been picked. vnEMPO - The “B" Comf plex Vitamins in easy-to-take tablet |iagj form-bottle of I Hohbouse Drug Co.

Tom Connally, D., Tex., chairman of the senate foreign relations committee said at the same press conference that membership in the family of American nations ■ called for asumiption of duties and : performance of responsibilities as • well as receipt oif benefits. ‘•When and if Argentina realizes that and asurnes all that with respect to this organization,” Con- . nally said, “there will be an entirely united western hemisphere.” , Stettinius warned in his closing statement that “•much remains to be done to carry out what has been . done here.” ! 0 I New Castle Workers Vote To End Strike F _ ‘ New Castle, Ind., March 9 — 1 (UP) — Striking Workers at the perfect circle company plant were scheduled >to end' a four-day wonk ' stoppage today.
