NEED MILLION

That Figure Will Be Reached Next Year; U. S. Officials Expect Indianapolis to Require 13,000 Men for Defense Factories in Future. By JOHN W. LOVE |

That is about as many men as now work in the automo-

anything vet the draft of Army. The 600,000 men to be selected for the armed forces by July, completing the present undertaking, are to be balanced by about the same number of new men to be sought for aircraft and shinbuilding alone by the vear end. These items are part of the breakdown of the 3,000,000 to Mr. Love 4000000 new workers to be needed for defense industries this vear, a figure which Undersecretary of War Robert Patterson says 1s “conservative.” The magnitude of this personnel task, not vet fully disclosed to the public because not vet fully worked out here, accounts for such programs as the national registration of skilled workers and such appeals as William S. Knudsen's for the training of skilled men. It also explains Mi Patterson's appeal to employers to refrain from “labor stealing,” plus the drive of the OPM for more subcontracting and efforts to hold down the length and number of strikes Its

the effort the Selective Service System is making to standardize the policies of state and local boards to-| ward the deferment of skilled men.’ Because industry and the military services are competing for the same men, new plans are shaping here for encouraging the retaining of older people and the hiring of women Several surveys of labor requirements are being made in Washington, and like every survey made here these days they are old before they are published. One such com-| pilation made up from field reports, reveals that Indianapolis will need 13,000 new workers this year, Pittsburgh 28,000, Columbus 12.000, and Cincinnati 16,000. Other cities are yet to report. { he announcement concerning In-| dianapolis’ needs was made before] the Bridgeport Brass factory re-| vealed that it will hire some 2500! workers to make shell cases at a new plant here. Several thousand outsiders are expected to be required to fill that city's needs The most extensive group of surveys, that started in the Bureau of Labor statistics last fall, is being re-| vised upward In December the | aircraft industry was expected to need 251,000 additional men by August, not to mention those required by the parts makers. The new bomber plants being set up in linked series were not counted |

Way Down Argenting Way There's Beefing at Wallace

WASHINGTON, March 21 (U, P).—Senatorial chuckles swelled to laughter today at the plight of Spanish-speaking Vice President Henry A. Wallace, the New Deal's traveling champion of the good neighbor policy. Legislators wondered whether he would now dare to show his face in South America. But for his insistence upon being the perfect host at a luncheon yesterday, a bill allowing the Navy to buy South American canned beef would be on its way to enactment. Instead it was defeated. Here are the principal ments: 1. Mr.

He said he would ask re | consideration of the entire $3.446,384,144 naval supply bill Monday to get the foreign food ban lifted. But little attention was paid bv Senators to the serious question of permitting the Navy to buy 2,000, | 000 pounds of canned Argentine] beef. Most of them wondered what effect the lapse would have on Mr. | Wallace. muffing his first opportunity as presiding officer of the Senate to give the Administration victory—and especially on a good neighbor policy issue, so close to Mr. Wallace's heart that he has learned Spanish and plans te tour
