Paid McNutt
• Bard on the heels of our entry into our sec
ond year of war came the announcement mat
President Roosevelt has given to Paul Vones
McNutt complete authority over the nation s
manpower resources for the urgent purpose of
co-ordinating gun with gunner, farm with
table, supply with demand, and of preventing
the haphazard migration of essential workers.
• Under the new set-up McNutt will control
selective service, with Gen. Hershey remain-
. ing in acthre charge. Enlistment is out, but
selectees may still indicate a preference for
a particular branch of service. A worker in a
vital war industry may quit, or may leave
one Job for another paying more money. L i
he can also be asked to go where he is n.oai
needed.
• McNutt’s task is chiefly administrative, and
he is well prepared for it. He has been, suc
cessively, dean ,of the University of Indiana
law school, governor of Indiana (1933-37).
