WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.—Good bet: : put in charge of the whole manpower program—selective service as well as war and civilian industries and agriculture
Better bet: That mart won't be Paul V. Nutt.
Mr. McNutt and his war manpower commission have just taken another kick in the pants, this one from the senate’s Truman committee, which observed that the WMC, after seven months, has not completed the fundamental
studies it was supposed to make and has formulated “no basic manpower policy or program ”» “The Tolan committee in the house, and the big labor organizations, have made much the same criticism. ~And these, like the Truman committee dealt roughly with the notion that the time has come for
service. Mr. McNutt wads unfortunate enough to stand forth, some three weeks ago, as the chief proponent of
Paul McNutt
likely that some istration figures agreed with him—then. Harry Hopkins wrote a magazine article, which came out just after the elections, predicting that the government

AN AMERICAN army officer who served in the Philippines and
would ‘soon be telling everybody where to work or fight. But objections from congress, from labor, and ‘even from Mr. McNutt’s own labor-management advisory committee, - quite evidently have put the labor-draft idea out for the present, and don’t be surprised if Mr. McNutt follows it out of the manpower picture.
Favoritism Feared
- Of labor compulsion, the Truman committee remarked that 4t would not only require too cumbersome administrative machinery, but that it would open “too much room for favoritism and even graft by the-thou-sands of local agen The Truman committee report probably came much nearer to being ‘a sound manpower program than anything the McNutt agency has evolved. It even spoke boldly of the neces-
was vague on details. An executive order, lying unsigned on President Roosevelt's desk, would turn the selective service system over to Mr. McNutt and otherwise increase his powers. Chances are it will remain unsigned. For that possibility has aroused strong objections open and under cover, many of which boil down to the charge that Mr. McNutt has high political ambitions. A man known to have his eye on the White House would. always be suspected of playing politics with manpower. ‘That's the argument, and it carries weight. Mr, McNutt might retort that a man seeking political popularity wouldn’t have let himself be connected. with the manpower mess, where everything done is bound to be unpopular with somebody. And it's true, as the Truman. committee concedes, that the WMC has been handicapped by insufficient authority, especially because it has no voice in determining military, manpower requirements. ‘The committee recommends that

OCTOBER ok D
$416 Salary Payment Is Authorized in Opinion Given ‘by Jose.
‘The. dispute over the salary claim of Thomas L. Neal, county welfare director, was settled temporarily today by ‘an ‘opinion given by: County Attorney Victory Jose Jr. The opinion authorized county commissioners to approve Mr. Neal's salary claim of $416 for: October. The county welfare board more than a month ago voted to reduce Mr: Neal's salary to $250 a month; ostensibly to force the director to resign. ” However, the state welfare board ‘which has authority under 1937 law to appoint the Marion county welfare director ruled that the.county
board had no authority to cut the director’s pay. |
When Mr. Neal's claim for his usual $416 came to county commissioners Nov. 1, the check was held up pending Mr. Jose’s opinion,
Official Notice Lacking
Mr. Jose stated that the commissioners had no official notice of the county welfare’s board's action in reducing Mr. Neal's pay, and therefore, they would have to follow the certified claim for the hired salary approved by the county welfare.department and ‘the state welfare |; board. oC The county attorney explained that his opinion involved only the October salary claim and suggested that officials involved in the salary differential dispute file suit to .determine the legal questions in order that the differences may: no arise on future pay days.

In a telegram to OPA Administrator Leon Henderson Rep.
