Fighting Bitter The fighting north of Salerno, where’ the American and British forces of the 5th army are attempting to strike directly past Mt.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2¢ (U. P). —The war manpower commission today considered extension of the strict manpower and production controls now in effect on the West coast in an effort to forestall demands for national ‘service legisla= tion, The proposed extension, a WMC official said, would embrace some of the 56 critical labor shortage areas. He indicated that the application would be broadened in iocal areas or regions to meet crises

People everywhere—even non-be-lievers—were deeply shocked when churches were dynamited or burned, priests executed or imprisoned and houses of worship turned into movie theaters, dance centers, or halls for the meetings of the Soviets “Godless societies.” Stalin has changed all this, Not hat ‘he has “got religion.” He and ‘he makes no pretense that he haf But again, like Napoleon, Ne is aware of the terrific force which religion is and long ago made up his mind to use it to

like that on the West coast where, during the summer, aircraft and shipbuilding companies falled to meet production schedules. War Mobilization Director James F. Byrnes ordersd the West coast plan and placed it under the joint responsibility of WMC, the war
{production board, and the procure-
ment agencies. Its prineipal features: 1. Controlled referral of workers to plants with the highest manpower priorities which are based on urgency of the work being performed and the utilization by the plant of its present manpower. 2. Withholding of new contracts and cancellation of old contracts, if necessary, if the needed product can be produced elsewhere, 3. A broadened basis for occupational deferments to draft reglstrants, Byrnes ordered the West coast controls after a study by his advisers, Bernard M. Baruch and John Hancock, Hxtension to other areas presumably would require his approval because of the inter-agency teamwork involved. :
