“Will Store Up Reservoir” By this method, the president said, the nation will store up “a reservoir of work that can be undertaken when the war is over and thus be useful in providing em=ployment opportunities and demands for materials.” Major criticism came from the president's proposal to give the resources planning board direction of the program.

Conference Board Predicts Dwindling Supply of Hired Workers.
NEW YORK, May 25 (U. P.).—A dwindling supply of hired laborers
on farms throughout the country was found today by the division of industrial economics of the national industrial conference board, despite the fact that total employment in March for all types of work reached a record high of 59,700,000, nearly 1,000,000 above the previous month. The nation’s labor situation will reach its most critical period in midyear, the board reported. The prediction was based on three factors; that agriculture’s labor requirements will mount rapidly within the second quarter, that about 350,000 men will be inducted into the armed forces and that further expansion may be anticipated in the payrolls of essential war industries. The board found that in March 8,000,000 more persons were af work or in uniform than a year ago. Slightly more than half of this increase was attributed to the armed forces, and the remainder were added to non-agricultural payrolls. While nearly 500,000 workers were added to the farm front in the month, the total remained near!

Net Profit Double
Consolidated net profit for the six months was $1,347,948, compared with $666,366 in the 1942 period. It amounted to about 1.7 per cent of sales of $80,674,401, which were 106

The company is now one of the nation’s 60 leading armaments producers, with neariy 14,000 employees in the Toledo plant, and employing the facilities of many smaller plants in co-ordination with thousands of suppliers.

Indebtedness to the Reconstruction Finance Corp., amounting to $839,650, including interest, was reported paid in December, 1942, leaving no loans outstanding at the present time. Advances from the governmeént on war contracts are more than covered by receivables due on such contracts, the report

The report said Willys is giving full consideration tc its obligation to assist in providing sound employment after the war, but added the belief that “the best way to make this contribution is to continue full speed shead now on the most important of all jobs, the winning of the war.”

Blamed for
Farm Machinery Shortage
M. KIDNEY
. Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, May 25.—Failure of the government to give manu-
permission to produce, is the sole
cause of the present acute shortages of farm machinery, according to Fowler McCormick, president of the International Harvester Co. The charges appear in an article by Mr. McCormick entitled “Food and the Farm Equipment Shortage,” put in the Congressional Record by
Rep. Victor Wickersham (D. Okla.). Mr. McCormick rejected the popular notion that farm machinery plants had been so completely converted to war work that they could not make farm machinery right now. “It is true that International Harvester Co. is engaged on a very large program of war production,” he wrote, “but it is also true that we have laways had facilities available for the production of farm equipment. “Our company and other farm equipment manufacturers have the plants and facilities. We have, or can speedily train, the men and women needed. We have a large
ig
and capable distribution organization which, left to itself, can do
ture and materials for manufacture can be provided only by the government. And at present the distribution of farm machinery is also com=-
pletely controlled by the government. “The government has never asked us to convert all our facilities to war work and we never have considered doing so.”
program for 1943 at 23 per cent of 1940 production and then raised it in some categories to meet the most pressing food production needs, the McCormick statement continued. It pointed out that the change came too late for anything but tractors and harvesters this year, and advised that the 1944 pro-

TRADE-IN PLAN
Project Vehicle Exchange Now for Post-War
Delivery.
NEW YORK, May 25 (U. P)—A plan for automobile owners to trade in their vehicles now on new cars for post-war delivery was announced today by Arthur O. Dietz, president of Universal C. I. T. Credit Corp. sales financing subsidiary of Commercial Investment Trust Corp. Threefold benefits of the plan, according to Dietz, would be creation of a pool of good used cars for war workers, building up of a potential volume of post-war business for the automobile industry prevention of continuous deprecia-
tion of cars not in use, especially in the 12 eastern states under the. OPA pleasure driving ban. Dietz explained that at the time of trade the car owner and dealer will agree upon a cash value as well as the trade-in value for purchase! of a new car for post-war delivery. | The dealer will forward his check to the credit corporation which will then issue to the car owner a postwar escrow receipt guaranteeing his trade-in allowance. Dietz explained that if the car, owner should not want to wait for new car delivery, he could recover the amount of the cash value on demand.

Discussing New York City's aviation future, LaGuardia said yesterday the new Idlewild airport would be five times as large as the city’s LaGuardia field and would be the terminus for lines operating to and from Europe on hourly schedules. Nine hundred arrivals and departures daily are planned when it is completed, he added.
= WARNS COAL SUPPLY WILL BECOME ‘TIGHT
NEW YORK, May 25 (U. P.).— Warning that the supply of coal will get “tighter and tighter” as the war progressed, Deputy Solid Fuels Administrator Howard A. Gray today advised industrial users to store as much soft .coal as possible this spring and summer. Speaking before the 28th annual convention of the Nationial Association of Purchasing Agents, Gray said that the coal must be kept moving from the mines to consumers at full capacity if 1943 production and distribution requirements are to be met. Manpower and equipment difficulties limit the capacity for producing and moving the estimated 1943 requirement of 600,000,000 tons of soft coal, he said. “The man who fails to provide for
ernment’s emergency powers,” he said. “Nor is the government likely to be particularly concerned about
i. to get coal by emergency arrange's| ments.”

conferences with government agencies for war contracts. Hurley testified after the general manager of the firm, Norman T. Bolles, had asserted that the former governor was “in no small measure responsible” for the company’s large recent increase in production. But, he assured members, Hurley had contributed neither political influence nor financial aid. Hurley said thay his job was to be “on call to straighten out production problems,” and claimed that output had been stepped up 500 per cent in three months after he had negotiated a contract with Mar-mon-Herrington Co. of Indianapolis. He protested that he gave freely of his time, but had not been hired to “punch a time clock.” As governor of Connecticut, he said he had been instrumental in getting millions of dollars worth of contracts for Connecticut firms through the war industries committee which he organized. If he had taken a job in his own state, he said, he might have been accused of accepting repayment for this business,
