seems to be getting closer to
reality. It probably ".-ill be felt in

two moves made last week: a statement
by the office o: production
management that production of automobiles
may have to be curbed by
as much as 50 per cent: a request by
Secretary of the Interior Ickes that
the use of gasoline be curbed by
one-third in 16 eastc-in states.
Furthermore, the dangers of price

prices have riser. 9 per cent since

i Debate over the measure to extend
the period of service of the
million men being trained under the
selective service act. although hotlj
debated, has had the blessing of thi
majority of congressmen ever since
the President sent a message to congress
and tile people pointing oul
(he necessity for this extension. It
is the general feeling here that the
one year period provided in the act
was an unfortunate provision which
misled many selectees, but that the
present emergency makes it necessary
to take advantage of the clause
in the act which provides for extension
of service. Thai clause
1 reads:

Gen. George C. Marshall, chie
of staff of the army, has pointer
out that with 40 to 85 per cent o
most infantry divisions composed o
selectees, it would virtually meai
1 d^mhhiliying lha_ai3m* 4
men home at this time.
Most congressmen agree that i
would be ridicuious practically ti
disband the army at this time, bu
a good many also have a feeling o
guilt over breaking their contrac
with the selectees, who believei
they would be sent home after i
year's training. They know tha
provisions in the law make it possi
ble to continue services because o
the emergency, but all the S3nu
they feel many of the million met
in service will consider that some
! tiling has been put over on them.
] It is expected the men who an
lover 23 years old may be sent homi
i m view of the more recent rrieasun
! defering service of men in this ag<
[group. It is also believed steps wi!
oe taken to insure jobs tc the mei

aimy is completed.
The opposition to the property
seizure bill has been considerably
lessened by revisions in tile measure
which limit seizures of property tt
property needed for the ir.anufac
hire of defense equipment and sup
plies. The measure, in its reviset
form, also puts a time limit on thi
power of the President to centre
[private property. It provides tha
i uie govefSnneni pay a fair price fo.
any propeily it seizes and direct
tilt government to sell the property
back to the original owner by J tint
30, 1943.
Some congressmen fear the jac
that administration spokesmen ir
the senate opposed including a proI
vision in the seizure measure for a
specific prohibition against the seizure
of any newspaper o: radio station,
interpreting the opposition tc
such a prohibition as limiting the
administration might consider such
seizures. But most congressmen felt
that such a specific prohibition was
unnecessary since it would take a
far-fetched interpretation of the
measure in its present form to make
the seizure of a radio station or
newspaper possible.
A new problem arose on the labor
front when the CIO unit which
called a strike at the Air Associates
plant at Bendix, N. J., asked the
Prasiri?*rit tr> coi-m *
?w uwu.s. uic yioii l Ufllli
such time as the company decides
to co-operate with national defense
and to comply with the laws of the
United States."
The flare-up at the Bendix plant
came when the company dismissed
several union employees- The company
said the dismissals were made
because of decreased production
caused by a shortage of aluminum.
The union claimed they resulted
from a CIO victory in a national labor
relations board election.
But the action of a union asking
the President to seize a plant is the
; first of its kind and is being followed
with close interest by both
labor and employers.
