Must Plan for Next Year
Fulmer said the farm labor problem had become “se acute” that the committee felt compelled to proceed on its. own initiative to sponsor a bill as soon as it can be drawn. “The farmers need help now so that they can make their plans for next year,” Fulmer said. “If we wait a few weeks they may decide that we aren’t going to help them at all, and they'll choose what they believe to be the only course to them—plan on - curtailed crops in 1943.” - Rep. John W. Flannagan Jr. (D. Va.), said after hearing McNutt testify that he “felt a whole lot better about the whole manpower: outlook,” but agreed with Fulmer that positive action in the near future was necessary.
: Hershey Approves Freeze
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, selective service director, told the committee that his agency is “perfectly willing” to “freeze” farm workers on their jobs if they are essential, and to draft them if they leave. It is up to the war manpower commission, he said, to determine whether that is necessary. McNutt did not touch directly on that in his discussion, but he intimated that when tHe administration submits its recommendations that problem will be dealt with. “Manpower will have to be allocated on a priority basis,” he said, “but I doubt that it can be done without legislation.” Two bills to accomplish the general objective outlined by McNutt have been introduced in the senate, but neither hears the indorsement of the administration,

NATION WARNED BY SOMERVELL
‘We've Only One: Thing Left To Lose—Complacency,’
He Tells Masons.
ST. LOUIS; Mo., Sept. 29 (U. P.). —Asserting, ‘that “we've lost everything except a smug sense of complacency .and that is the one thing we've got to lose,” Lieut. Gen. Brehon B. Somervell, commanding genergl of the services of supply, ae record today with one of the most caustic war speeches yet made by a high military official. Speaking last night before the grand lodge of Missouri Masons, Gen. Somervell said the united nations have “taken a terrific shellacking all around the globe” and that it is time that “we begin to be realistic.” “The Japanese and Nazis hate us and it is high time Americans start throwing some of that hate back in their faces,” he said. “You can’t kill a man you don’t hate and fear and our number one job now is to kill Nazis and Japs.
Urges Less Criticism of Leaders
“We've lost all our rubber, most of our tin, our hemp, our silk. We've lost ships by the hundreds, men by the thousands. We've lost the freedom of the seas. We've lost everything except a smug sense of complacency and that is the one thing we've got to lose and lose fast or we’ll lose our independence.” Cien.. Somervell tempered his remarks by asking Americans not to be “over-critical of our leaders, of our tactics or our military methods.” “No matter what we do, we always seen: to do the wrong thing according to Monday. morning quarterbacks and the hindsighters,” he said. ‘And we're always wrong in the eyes of thosé knotty pine powder room strategists and soda fountain admirals.”
Asks Arguments Stop
He castigated both management men- who use the war effort to take ‘advantage of labor, calling them saboteurs and said workers who put down their tools to strike “even: for an hour, are in the same category.” He recommended stoppage of all arguments about “who will be top man after the war.” “If we keep on fighting among ourselves, Hitler is going to. be the top man,” he said. N “Let’s forget about business as usual, pleasure as usual. It’s going to be the same war after the elec,{tion it is today.” The danger ‘is going to be just as great, the future just as dark. Hitler and the Japs don’t ‘care who wins American elections just so we take our minds off the war long enough to fight with one another.”
