Hasten End of War
Austin, Texas, August 13. —
"Action is being taken in all
Texas Labor Market Areas to ef-
fect full compliance with Justice
n,vines' order of August 4 to
3peed vital war production by
supplying needed manpower,"
stated C. E. Belk, State Dircctn"
of the War Manpower Commis
sion. today. ' ■,
''Employment levels in less es-
sential industries in Fori Worth,
Galveston and the Beaumont-Port
Arthur-Orange Areas must lie re-
duced to the minimum necessary
to insure supplies of labor to
produce essential goods. — to do
this the WMC and Manpower
Piiorities ^Committees in these
areas will, establish manpower
"ceilings as required," said Belk.
Ceilings will also be set and
enforced immediately on essential
industries through this same ma-
chinery in all Texas Areas.
"There is too much job-hopping,
tort much optimism based on vic-
tory headlines, and there are too
many- flagrant examples of man-
power wastage," Belk emphasized;
''we must produce the materials
necessary to hasten the occupa-
tion of Paris and to open the road
to Berlin. I| Is a small thing to
ask of a nation which has suffered
the loss of 11.000 dead in France
since D-Dny."

chairmaned by the War Produc-
