Report Filed With Roosevelt Asks Voluntary Compliance By Government, Labor and Management to Solve Manpower Shortage.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 (U. P.).—The White House today released a long-awaited report which called on government, labor and management, to carry out immediately —without a labor “draft” act—14 specific recommendations for bolstering the manpower program. . The manpower program, if not corrected, the report
said, “will seriously impede the war effort.” There was no White House
comment on the report although an executive order putting its recommendations into effect is known ‘to be on President Roosevelt’s desk. The report was drafted by the war manpower commission's labormanagement policy committee. It made seven recommendations for government action on one hand, and seven for labor and management on the other. The Government's Side
The government was urged: 1. To suthorize the chiefs of
) staffs of the armed forces, the lend-
i with military
lease administration, War Production Chief Donald M. Nelson, and War Manpower Chief Paul V. McNutt to determine the ‘over-all manpower program,” thus recognizing that manpower planning “must be considered in close conjunction and production
* planning.”
2. To transfer the selective service system to WMC, centralizing in the latter all authority for administration of the program. That would give McNutt powers similar to thos> of Rubber Director William M. Jeffers. 3. To order the armed forces to stop all voluntary enlistments,
which are causing “serious reper
cussions on vital production.” ‘Special Calls’ Urged 4. To instruct McNutt to edelegate authority to selective service to recruit through “special calls” men with specialized skills needed by the armed forces. Such men now
. are being drawn willy-nilly from
A
civilian jobs, often in war industries. 5. To authorize’ WMC to direct and co-ordinate all war training programs, both civilian and military, if they are being conducted in non-military educational institutions. 6. To authorize WMC ‘$o regulate hiring, rehiring, solicitation, and recruitment in labor shortage areas.” Such areas would be defined by WMC. 7. To strengthen WMC's operating organization through congressional grants of additional funds and removal of personnel restrictions and handicapping theagency’s activities. The committee described WMC's weak operating machinery as one of its most difficult problems. LeNoramanagemen interests were
1. To comply uniformly with WMC policies and diréctives. 2. To eliminate “wasteful labor turnover in civilian war adtivities.”
3. To speed up transfers of workers from non-essential to essential jobs.
4. To Increase mobilization, training and employment of unemployed workers capable of filling essential jobs. 5. To improve utilization of the skills and capacities of workers now engaged in essential activities, 6. To accelerate release to the armed forces of men within the military age limits who can be replaced in essential activities by persons not eligible for military service.
Want Barriers Lifted
7. To eliminate all “barriers, restrictions and obstructions” inter-
able manpower resources. Officials said this referred to hiring discrimination against women, the aged and handicapped, loyal aliens and minority races. “The committee has confidence that the voluntary and co-operative efforts of the people, under strong leadership on the part of government, management and labor, will provide the answer to this all important manpower problem,” the report said. The committee ,sbegan work on the report last Aug. 14, less than three months after it was created by McNutt. Headed by Civil Service Commissioner Arthur S. Fleming, it is composed of seven labor and seven management members.
Women Chief Supply
In order to reach its goal of 62,500,000 persons in essential civilian activities and the armed forces by the end of 1943, the United States must recruit at least 5,000,000 new workers, “in.addition to the normal entrance of young people into the labor force,” the report stated.
are nearing exhaustion, “the great majority of these new workers of necessity will be women,” it added, predicting that “all women without small children or other urgent household responsibilities will be needed and should prepare to enter employment.” The Teport did not discuss the question of compulsory registration of women, despite the fact that Mr. Roosevelt recently indicated to reporters that it is under considera-

The $108,812,430 sales total is $3,210,430 over the $105,602,000 six assigned monthly quotas. Average monthly sales for the period were $18,135,405, more than double the monthly average from July, 1941, through January, 1942. Wray E. Fleming, state administrator of the war savings staff, announced a gain of $821,000 in E series sales in October over September. E series bonds are the type issued to workers under the payroll savings plan. Total E bond sales in October represented approximately 75 per cent of the state sales total, he said.

WAR DATA SERVICE|
of JBN. Bells!
“Tobacco Road’s” Jeeter Lester, most famous character of .the American stage, gave his all <to the Marion county salvage sommittee yesterday. He put on his shoes and marched up to Trimble corner, New York and Meridian sts., to donate his old innertube to the scrap pile—for keeps, too. Jeeter, played by John Barton in the return of “Tobacco Road” to English’s theater this week, for-
Jeeter Aids Rubber Drive
mally presented the ancient tube to Miss Virginia Burton of the state = conservation department and William H. Trimble, county civilian defense salvage committee chairman. The tube has been a standard prop in the play for 11 years. - “I reckon us folks down on Tobacco Road can get along without it,” said Jeeter as he shuffled back to English’s to take his shoes off.

These leaders, frankly, didn’t a chance of being elected or they their defeat in the primary. But in politics. When a party has been out of power for a long time, it always becomes a major problem for party leaders who are "interested in presenting the voters
‘men to seek minot political jobs.
It is particularly hard to persuade a lawyer with a half-way good law practice to campaign for a judgeship on the ticket of a party that hasn't elected a judicial candidate for sometime.
But at least, G. O. P. leaders say, the election eliminated this problem.
With the trend definitely their way, they predict that two years hence they will have a swarm of candidates for all jobs, from constable on up, and it will be the Democrats: who will worry about having to “scare up” candidates.
” ” ”
G. 0. P. Eyes 44
ONE RESULT -of the election has been to increase a hundred fold the interest among Republicans in their party’s nominations for U. S.. senator and governor two years ‘hence.
"For the first time in 12 years, the party members really believe that they will elect a governor and they think the trend will be so much their way that they will have no trouble trouncing such a Democratic campaigner as Governor Schricker if he seeks to go to the: senate. This subject is the topic of conversation practically wherever two Republicans get together. And the name of every Republican of note is being mentioned for one of the two jobs—and some for both. For U. S. senator, the names being mentioned are those of former Secretary of State James Tucker (if he gets out of the navy by then); Homer E. Capehart, seventh: district chairman; Charles Jewett, former Indianapolis mayor, and State Auditor Richard T. James. For governor, the names being mentioned are those of State Chairman Ralph Gates; Indianapolis’ mayor-elect, Robert H. Tyndall; State Treasurer James Givens; William E. Jenner, former state senate leader (if he gets out of the army by then); Attorney General-elect Jaines E.

”» 4 ” Mostly G..0. P. Gossip ODDS AND ENDS: Among these being mentioned for the job of secretary to Mayor-elect Tyndall is Harry Ray, an employee in the state auditor's office and an original Tyndall man. Among the candidates defeated in the election last Tuesday was James McEwans of South Bend, president of the -state C. 1.70., who was seeking election to the state house of representatives as a Republican. . . . The official tabulation on the state races probably. won't be completed until this week-end. . , . One of the interesting things shown by the official tabulation of Marion county votes is that Mayor-elect Tyndall trailed the city ticket while his unsuccessful opponent, Criminal Court Judge Dewey E. Myers, led his ticket.

The second tin can salvage collection was to continue through = day and tomorrow. The collection was half-way completed at noon today and Russell Campbell, tin campaign chairman, said 110 tons probably would be collected by tomorrow.

EXECUTE NAZI SPY "AT HAVANA PRISON
HAVANA, Nov. 10 (U. P) —The German spy, Heinz August Luning, was executed by a firing squad today in the principe prison yard. He died with a defiant glare in his eyes, refusing a blindfold which the sergeant of the death squad offered him. The command to fire was given at 7:53 a. m. : sLuning, who entered Cuba on
|a Honduras passport in August,
1941, posing as a Honduran businessman, was convicted in September of transmitting information to axis submarines which resulted in the sinking of allied vessels. His appeal to the supreme court was rejected and President Fulgencio Batista refused clemency.
