“ WAIT FOR SHIND ON MANPOWER

He May Decide t to Replace

McNutt Agency With An- _ other; May Not. WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 (U. P.). —What sion Roosevelt will do to untangle the nation’s muddled manpower program was the question of the hour in Washington today, but reporters were faced with a dearth of reliable answers. Newcomers and veteran newsmen alike were agreed that a major story

had reached the boiling point with none of the usual news “leaks.” There were these possibilities: 1. That Mr. Roosevelt, following the pattern established when he abolished the supply, priorities and allocations board to set up the war production board, would replace the _ war manpower commission with a new agency. 2. That he merely would str engthen WMC's powers, incorporating the selective’ service system within it. This has been recommended by WMC Chairman Paul V. McNutt and the WMC labor-management advisory committee. 3. That he would reorganize ad-

ministration of the nations entire]

home front program, bringing under one head production, manpcwer and economic stabilization—retdmmended by several congressional groups. 4. That he would turn over the . manpower program to the war department, This has been opposed vigorously by labor, congressional leaders, and other civilian authorities here. Speculation over each of these alternatives was accompanied by an .even more tantalizing question: Who will direct the program? There was good raeson to believe the president himself has not made up his mind. The consensus among reporters, government officials and Washington's numerous secondguessers was that Mr. McNutt is on the way out.

(ALL | KNOW IS WHAT | READ IN PAPERS

Homer E. Capehart, seventh district G. O. P. chairman, whose name has been mentioned by New York political writers as a possible choice for Republican national chairman said today that ‘he knew nothing about it at all.” “All I know,” he said, “is what 4 sad in the papers.” i Mr. Capehart said, howe , that he was planning to go to 5t. "Louis next month where the Republican national committee is to elect a new national chairman succeeding Joseph W. Martin on Dec, 7. His friends believe that if a deadlock is reached between the Willkie and anti-Willkie .forces Mr. Capehart might be named as a compromise choide. Mr. Capehart was master of ceremonies at the Willkie notifica- . tion ceremonies in Elwood in 1940 and he has many friends among the anti-Willkie forces. ” G. O. P. State Chairman Ralph Gates, also mentioned as a possible successor to Mr. Martin, says he is definitely not a candidate.

Crew Is braised By Boise Skipper

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 21 (U.P). —Capt. E. J. (Mike) Moran, skipper y the U. S. S. Boise, revealed last night that many of his men were under fire for the first time the night the light cruiser sank six Japanese warships in the Solomons. “But every last one proved himself a real sailor, a man for his home folks to be proud of,” the captain said in a radio address. “I have been on the Boise two and one-half years,” he said. “During that time we have drilled and drilled and drilled. We had the right plays, the men knew the signals and my job was that of coach. I called the signals and every mother’s son did to the utmost that which he had been taught.” “It will take but a relatively short time to put the ‘ship in condition to fight again,” he concluded, “I only hope that I shall have them all with me again. God bless them.” *

ARMY DEATHS AT RECORD LOW

| Surgeon-General Attributes

Report to New Trend In Treatments.

Adm. Ross McIntire, surgeon general of the navy, today attributed the

Bulances.

U. S. troops in the Guadalcanal fighting is one per cent, he said, the lowest recorded in military history. “One of the principal factors in this phenomenal record is the improvement in treating the wounded on the field,” he said. “Blood serums and sulfa drugs have helped immeasurably, and so has the practice of . flying the wounded back to base hospitals after preliminary treatment.”

Treated For Shock ' The wounded are treated first for

of military deaths, McIntire said. He spoke at a meeting of secretaries and editors of state medical associations held annually by the American Medical association. Dr. Frank Lahey, former A. M. A. president and chairman of the board of procurement and assignment service for physicians set up under the War Manpower Commission, said 218 physicians have been assigned to 154 communities in 29 states threaiened by a war-

time scarcity of medical attention.

Such a posi- | tion of honor indicates the importance which the navy has given to religion in the life of its men.” On Chaplain Johnson's first Sunday at Great Lakes, he conducted three services attended by a total of 3900 men and served the holy communion to 1550. He has presented the sailors with more than 1000 New Testaments. “Recruits quickly hear about religion, too,” he says, “for a chaplain gives one of the three indoctrination lectures to each incoming group. In my talk to them I remind them that they will respect most the men who dare to live their religion.”
