War Manpower Chairman Mc-
! Nutt said he considers the adoption
of national service legislation in-
evitable in order to place talents
where they will best serve the
war effort. The mere existence
of power to force an individual
to serve where he is most useful
is probably all that will be neces-
sary. he said. Labor shortages
are becoming more acute and now
exist in 35 centers of war pro-
duction. he reported. Selective
Service Director Hershey said that
to keep production going and at
the same time furnish men for the
Armed Forces, industry should
tablish now an
ment program.
The WPA and the U. S. Em-
ployment Service set up a system
whereby capable, certified persons
on WPA rolls will be directed to
jobs in industry and agriculture
as needed. Approximately 850,000
■ persons were employed or await-
| ing assignment to WPA projects on
July 1—20 per cent of the total
active tile of the employment serv-
ice.

Kaiser, West Coast shipbuilder, to
construct three giant experimen-
tal cargo planes at a cost of $18,-
000000. The first is expected to
be completed in 15 months and the
third in 25 months. Mr. Kaiser
also was asked to draw up plans
for a factory in which the planes
could be produced in volume in
the event they are needed. The
Senate passed and sent to the
House legislation authorizing the
Government to acquire private or
public transportation facilities for
the carrying of Federal employees
and war workers to and from
their jobs—only, however, when
existing facilities are entirely in-
adequate.

tals where such a move would
present serious health hazards will
be excepted Special provisions will
be made in the rationing program
for sections of the country with
“unusual" climate. The OPA said
consumers in the rationed area
may fill their tanks up to 275 gal-
lons between now and September
30 but oil purchased during this
time will be deducted from their
allotments for the entire heating
season.
Agriculture Secretary Wickard
acting on authority from Mr. Hen-
derson issued a temporary order
to ration new farm machinery and
equipment appointing Fred S. Wal-
lace AAA administrator to admin-
ister the program at the national
level. CPA placed a printing or-
der for the first issue of 150 mil-
