WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 31.
—One of the most vital problems
8a the world crisis which we have
-facing us today is that of man-
jwwer and its most effective
■tilizatipn. This is true because
•or basic strength consists of two
taportant elements: our military
power and our tremendous indus-
trial power.
According to a recent statement
m the Secretary of Labor our man-
power situation is not critical to-
day, but with the increased de-
fense effort, it will become ser-
ims. As of December, 1950, our
fatal labor force (that is, those
Wgfcyed or seeking employment)
Pr. «
assisted of 65 million persons of
. amn ployed. Considering all per-
^gaiM aver 14 years of age who are
■Ot working, there are 47 million
people who might be added to the
waiatmg labor force of 65 million.
Bawever, 38 million of this group
are women.
It la to this group, composed
Mostly of women, that we must
imk to for any gppat addition to)
war present effective manpower.
The1 problem is, that most women
wader 35 are mothers of young
wkiklren; therefore it is to the wo-
men over 35 that we must
tarn for the bulk of our additional
Workers.
Voder conditions similar to
those existing at the peak' of
World War II, we could probably
mue our total labor force by an
additional five million. However,
beyond a certain limi|t, any furth-
er increase in gross numbers must
Me drawn from such groups as
mothers of young children or from
the 14-17 year old age group. This
atrald only be done at a heavy soc-
M cost.
The existing labor force can, un-
der emergency conditions, be
stretched to some extent. For in-
(Stance, the average workweek to-
day is 41 1-2 hours. If it were: in-
creased to 45 1-2 hours as in 1944,
Wig would be the equivalent of
hkh there were only 2 million
I"

■ yi
adding 1 1-2 million trained work-
ers to our labor force.
Today we have this problem
facing us in our mobilization1 (be-
sides the one million additional
men needed to bring the armed
forces up to 3.5 million in 1962,
we will need 4 million more civilian
workers in defense industry. Un-
employment today is just a little
over two million. It is believed
by the Secretary of Labor that
this difference can be made up.
The existing labor force can be
more effectively utilized by reduc-
ing the number of unemployed, by
transfers of workers from non-de-
fense activities, and by increased
hours of work. Further, the labor
force will be expanded by a 600,-
000 annual increase in growth of
population of working age, by in-
flow of veterans completing their
schooling and by increased em-
ployment of women, older peopTer
and youth.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 25
—The War Claims Commission
wants every eligible prisoner of
war of World War II or their wi-
dow or children or parents, to file
the necessary claim before the
deadline of March 1. Persons en-
titled to such claims in most cases
will receive $1.00 for each day the
prisoner of war was held in' cus-
tody of the enemy.
The War Claims Act of 1948
provided the organization to pro-
cess claims of civilian internees
and military prisoners of war who
had filed for payment from the
former enemy funds held fay our
government. Unless the claims
are filed by the former prisoners
of war or by the widows, children
or parents of deceased POW’s be-
fore March 1, 1951, the claims can-j
not be paid at all. A
Under the War Claims Act, a
widow who has married again may
still collect the survivor’s ber.eiftf
and parents do not have to et-J
tablish dependency. Addition >1 in-

The Social Security Act amend-
ments of 1950 which became ef-
fective January, 1, 1951, provide
survivor’s benefit payments to cer-
tain widows of World War II vet-
erans. The amounts payable have
been increased by these most re-
cent amendments and if claims by
widows or other dependents of ser-
vicemen killed in World War II
have not already been made, it is
suggested that a proper inquiry
be addressed to t^e Old Age and

——
If you’re going to carry fire
insurance, carry ENOUGH.
Many people merely carry
“some” fire insurance, to ease
their minds a little.
You should face the facts.
What if a fire burned your
home or business TO THE
GROUND tonight? What
would it cost you to replace
your los* at today’s prices?
Your insurance should be
big enough to cover a major
portion of replacement cost
now. THAT is the way to de-
cide how much fire insurance
to carry. See us today.
