HONESTY
I hope I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to
maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the
forward to (a) Establish a top-level joint labor-management
committee to advise Administrator Harrison on major policy
questions; (6) Appoint qualified men with trade union back-
ground and experience to appropriate posts at the operating
level in industry divisions; (c) Establish a labor staff office with
responsbility in all phases of program planning and scheduling.
To expedite these arrangements. President Green has assigned
Joseph D. Keenan as consultant to NPA. He has met with divis-
ion directors of NPA’s Bureau of Industry Operations to plan
for the labor appointments, which are to be on the same basis as
appointments from business management. Labor men will be ap-
pointed to positions for which they are qualified, including (but
not limited to) labor relations.

from the grass roots—from the workers of America—to show
how the defense program is operating in local communities, to
suggest changes and improvements which would speed progress,
to make sure that no injustices occur. Channelling of such
information from workers is essential to make sure that orders
are properly carried out; and to help in drafting orders which
will be practical, just and effective for all concerned. Labor’s
experience and point of view is important at top policy levels
because workers have intimate knowledge of work details, ma-
terials and machine operations, not available from any other
sources and because protection of workers' interests is vital in
the long task ahead if the Defense Program is to have their com-
plete cooperation. Management's interests are already protected
by their representatives at top policy levels. Producing workers'
interests are equally important and necessary for most efficient
results.
Another point is of vital concern: With unprecedented pow-
er over our country’s economic life centered in ODM. safeguards
are essential to make sure that its director will not become a czar
or dictator. The director should safeguard himself from such
charges. Since wage and small salaried workers and their families
make up 75 percent of the country’s entire population, their voice
must be heard by the top policy maker. In no other way can we
preserve economic freedom for the majority of American citizens.
Defense Production Administration, (DPA), has com-
plete authority, under Mr. Wilson’s supervision, over priorities,
allocations, requisitions, regulation of purchasing, loans and
most phases of plant expansion. It combined a number of earlier
defense agencies, of which the National Production Authority
(NPA) was most important. Mr. William H. Harrison (former
Director of NPA) is the administrator. This top production
agency, the DPA. has much the same powers as the War Pro-
duction Board in World War II; it will concentrate on program-
ming while its subordinate operating agency, the NPA, will carry
out the administrative functions.
NPA has issued orders to (1) Prevent hoarding of 55 scarce
materials and to control inventories; (2) Assign priorities to the
Department of Defense and four other government procurement
agencies, giving them the right to designate an order “DO" (de-
fense order) and thus assure it priority in processing and in the
use of scarce materials. (3) Cut down the use of scarce materiala
for non-essential civilian purposes; (4) Provide for expansion
of producing Capacity to meet defense needs; NPA has also
issued "certificates of necessity" which give companies 5 year
depredation allowances for new plant and equipment. These
NPA orders, plus the defense contracts being let by the military,
are shifting production from civilian to defense work.
Labor Representation is being provided in NPA.

There are increasing signs of a serious shortage of housing
for workers in defense industry in areas throughout the country.
President Richard J. Gray of the A FL Building and Con-
struction Trades Department submitted results of an AFL check
on local housing conditions made through Central Labor Unions
to the House Banking and Currency Committee at hearings on
President Truman’s bill to provide defense housing and com-
munity facilities.
Here are high spots from around the country:
Los Angeles: 224,250 essential in-migrants for selected
war industries within the county will require conservatively
112,125 additional houses by the end of 1951, assuming two
workers for every house.
Birmingham, Ala.: 34.000 units needed of permanent type in
rent range of $35 to $45 or $50.
Wichita, Kans.: Housing situation very tight. Influx
of workers seeking employment in aircraft industry causing
an immediate demand which is not being fully met.
Paducah, Ky.: Definite shortage this area. Temporary
housing needed for 10,000 to 12,000 construction workers on
atomic project at reasonable rental.
Omaha: Shortage of low-rent housing need for average
worker. If bomber plant is reopened additional housing will be
required.
Seattle: Critical shortage in Bremerton, Wash., getting
worse all the time. War contracts would bring critical short-
age in Seattle.
Hartford, Conn.: Shortage of 6,000 homes. With new plants
and factories in next few months, acute shortage expected of as
much as 20,000 homes.
San Diego, Calif.: Estimated 20.000 housing units need-
ed in 90 days, permanent type, low rents.
Bridgeport, Conn.: Critical area since before World War II,
all signs point to continuance of this condition for a long time.
Dallas, Tex.: Housing shortage in Dallas county critical.
Atlanta: 5,000 to 7,500 housing units need to meet mini-
mum requirements.
Detroit: Complete absence of any rental housing. Thousands
of additional units of permanent low-cost housing badly needed.
Rent should be between $50 and $60. >
Milwaukee, Wis.: Between 10,000 and 15,000 families living
doubled up. Shortage appears likely to hinder industrial recruit-
ments.
, Dayton, O.: Shortage critical.

To Survive
Testifying before the Senate Armed
Services Committee. General Bradley
emphasized that if we are "to sur-
vive." all of us will have to face the
hard fart that the present threat to
our national security may presist for
10, 15 or 20 years. Plans for adequate
long range defense will require near-
ly every man to serve in our forces-
first on full time active duty at the age
of 18—later as a member of the Na-
•tonal Guard or reserve.
Draft Aire
All the armed services agree the
draft age must be lowered to 18.
the period of service extended from
21 to 27 months Eighteen-year-olds,
they argue not only make splendid
soldiers but are less likely to have de-
pendents or essential jobs. And six
■nonths longer service will improve
training 50 percent and make better
reservists Universal Military Service
and Training is the only long range
solution, they claim, to our permanent
defense needs.
Women Too
While the pros and cons of USMT
are being debated, we decided to look
into the need for women in the armed
services. For fho.se < f our readers in-
terested in enlisting, here are some

The services need four times the
number of women they have at pres-

held for security reasons, four times

in June, 1948. Congress passed Pub-
lic Law 625 making the Women's
Army Corps and Air Forces regular
parts of the military establishment.
This means women have the same
rights, benefits and privileges as sol-
diers; their promotions follow the
same pattern. Here is one law that
really gives "equal pay” for "equal
work.”
Some people think women in uni-
form are mostly stenographers. Re-

The opportunities go as far as her
ambition takes her.
Base Pay
Base pay is the same for all the
services. 875.00 a month. Salary scales
graduate upwards with term of service
and promotion.
Haw Old
If you're between 18 and 34. single,
a high school graduate, a citizen of
the U. S.; in good physical shape and
can pass a normal mental aptitude
test, you can enlist in either the Army
or Air Corps.
The Army maintains over 1,500 re-
cruiting stations in the U. S. but you
can get recruitment information on
all the branches of the service from
any post office.
You can marry while in the service.
After 20 years you can retire on half-
pay; after 30, you get three-quarters
To enlist in the Marines. you must
be between 18 and 11; In the regular
Navy, 20 through 25; in the Naval
Reserve, 18 to 40.

basic training.
Urgent
Graduate registered nurses, dieti-
tians. occupational or physical ther-
apists are urgently needed. Right now
the Army is looking for 3,000 nurses.
Volunteers
If you’re not ready—or young
enough—to enlist, and yet want to
help, you can be of important service
as a Red Cross volunteer. Blood donor
collections are to be increased almost
100 percent. All blood programs are
staffed by volunteers. Both the armed
forces and 2,100 civilian hospitals are

Or you can take home nursing in-
struction. The Red- Cross plans to
train 700,000 to give nursing care at
home, or mass care in case of emerg-
ency. If you’re limited as to free time,
you may want to spend a few hours
sewing or knitting, or making surgi-
cal dressings. Find out from your Red
Cross how you can help.
Nickel and Tin
Nickel and tin are the latest ma-
terials to join the defense priority list.
(Bumpers, hub caps, flat ware. toys,
sporting goods and a lot of other
items may no longer be made of'nickel
plate. And there’ll be 10 percent less
tin for beer. oil. paint, dog food and
other cans. But food will still be pack-
ed in tins, though the cans may be
thinner.
We still say we can get along fine
with substitutes.

1000 jobs
Truth of the matter is. women were
first brought into the servie only as
elerks, stenographers, cooks and tele-
phone operators. But at end of World
War II. they were performing 239 dif-
ferent kinds of work. Now, there are
no less than 1,000 separate jobs open
to them. These run from radar. elec-
tronics. communications, food serv-
ices, flight central operators, para-
chute riggers and maintenance me-
chanies, to mention a few. to the regu-
i lar clerical and administrative serv-
ices.

Price Stabilization Director DiSalle is
relying on "hope and housewives" to
help enforce controls. Ways to pre-
vent black markets are already being
considered. And public pressure is
bound to bring about wage adjust-
ments and firmer ceilings on food.
Until the bumps get ironed out, let’s
be patient and cooperative.
Top Agency: Office of Defense Mobilization, (ODM), was
set up by the President’s Executive Order 10193, December 16.
1950, and is headed by Charles E. Wilson, Director of Mobiliza-
tion. This top control and policy making agency has complete
authority over all aspects of civilian mobilization—production,
transportation, manpower, stabilization. Mr. Wilson is in effect
“Assistant President,” with no one above him except the Presi-
dent of the United States. He wields more power than has ever
been granted to anyone before in USA,—more even than both
Mr. Byrnes and Mr. Nelson combined in World War II. As direc-
tor of the Defense Program, all defense agencies and their di-
rectors are responsible to him, and he is responsible directly to
the President. His task is to speed and coordinate the Defense
Program, and to do this he may change or transfer the agencies
concerned. His assistants are: General Lucius D. Clay and Mr.
Sidney J. Weinberg, both former executives of World War II
agencies.
Labor Representation. Full labor participation in the De-
fense Program is essential for its success. Such participation is
possible only if labor is represented in consultative capacity in
top policy making posts. As yet, Mr. Wilson has not agreed to the
appointment of a labor advisor in his office, in spite of labor’s
urgent requests. So workers have no direct access to him, al-
though his door is wide open to management representatives and
he himself comes from an industrial executive position. Labor
representatives in the Office of DefenseMobilization could per-
form many functions essential to cooperation and mutual confi-
dence. Through them information can be channelled to every
international union, state federation, city central and local union
in the country to assure labor's understanding of defense orders
and needs, and to mobilize the cooperation of all workers.
Through labor representatives information can also come up
