AMERICAN MAN-POWER
FAR-REACHING PROPOSALS WASHINGTON, (Rec. 10.40 p.m.) Aug. 15. A far-reaching programme for putting into war work or the armed services all able-bodied men between the ages of 18 and 35 years has been announced by the Man-power Commissioner, Mr Paul McNutt. The programme prevents the changing of jobs for more money, and aims to add 2,000,000 men to the armed services and 1,600,000 to the war labour force by July, 1944. It also wipes out the fatherhood deferment, and adds 118 jobs to the non-exempt list.
