posed many war measures and other
legislation which they knew ahead
of time would pass no matter which
way they voted. They knew their
protest votes*would be overridden
so they could take potshots at the
Democrat’s views without danger of
any serious repercussions. From
now on, however, with the parties
almost balanced, both will have to
assume an equal share of responsi
bility for congresssional action on
war issues.
From this viewpoint, the Demo
crats also are giving favorable con
sideration to the Republican de
mands for more representatives on
important committees. By so do
ing they see that they can shift
part of the responsibility for the
progress of the war to the Repub
licans 'and they are glad to share
this responsibility.
On domestic matters, however, all
concessions will be made grudg
ingly by the Democrats, who will
do everything possible to prevent
the Republicans from upsetting the
New Deal program. There are apt
to be plenty of violent fights when

I will leave here as line chief of
together closely on all issues directly
concerned with the war.
The Republicans are expected to
Morce an end to such waste as was
brought to the attention of the pub
lic by the joint congressional econ
omy committee, headed by Senator
Byrd, who said that the Civil Serv
ice now 'employs about 3,000,000
people. Senator Byrd demanded that
one-third of these workers be dis
missed calling it “criminal” to usb
so much manpower in this way dur
ing wartime.
With the passage of the measure
for drafting young men in the 18
to 19 group, and the probability
that more married men will be draft
ed during the next two months, ac
tion to prevent further voluntary en
listments became a greater possibil
ity. The records show that young
men who expected to be drafted
have been leaving skilled jobs in
war production plants and flocking
to recruiting stations to be able to
choose the branch of the service they
want before they are called by their
draft boards. The danger of this was
brought forcibly to the attention of
reporters when Donald Nelson, head
of the War Production board, said:
“Unless some means is found to
discourage voluntary enlistments of
workers doing essential jobs in war
industries, the war production ef
fort will suffer a severe setback
over the coming months.”

There are quite a few of my old
friends from Clinton in the service
now, and as I am in an outfit of New
Englanders and Westerners I have

men who enlist can pick the branch
of the service of their choice, while | riously ill at Hays hospital,
draftees have no voice in what dis
position is made of them, thousands
of young men are eager to get the
jump on the draft.
Consequently, the senate commit
tee which has been investigating
the manpower problem, called for
a quick end to voluntary enlistment
which, it said, “has seriously dis
rupted production.”
Whether the recommendations of i
this committee will be acted upon
is still to -be determined, but if they
are, enlistment will be prohibited, at
least of war production workers, and
draft boards will be ordered to de
fer needed workers so long as they
remain on a necessary job, or until
replacements become available.
It is expected that labor will be
controlled -by moires of tats
rather than by any complicated plan
for assigning all manpower to jobs.
“The manpower problem is too
difficult and complex to be solved
by any simple solution such as creat
ing a manpower czar or authorizing
by statute a government agency to
determine by coercion where each
employee shall work.”
