A hopeful prediction of
work for all who want it for
a period of at least two years
after the war has been made
by Harvard Economist
Sumner H. Slichter.
Sliehter estimates that it
will take at least this long
for U.S. industry to catch u]i
on the production of civili-
an goods. He claims it is a
reasonable assumption that
purchase of household ap-
pliances will be double those
of 1940, while newlv-marri-
ed couples will require vast
housing facilities -• of which
there is already an 800,000
unit shortage.

OAKLAND, IOWA: Local
barber Ben Mead finds it
hard to get help, so for 15
cents he lets customers shave
themselves while he suppli-
es water and a choice of raz-
ors. He had to draw the line,
though, when one man in-
sisted on cutting his own
hair.

Charges were hurled in the Senate this week by Sen.
Brooks (Rep.-Ill.) that Gen Marshall and Admiral King
had failed to use military manpower to advantage and
helped play down our reverses while playing up our
successes and are in part responsible for the “vast pro-
duction” of surplus goods.
In the general debate over work or, fight
legislation, Sen. Millard S. Tydings (Dem.-Md.)
and Sen. Reed (Rep.-Kan.) called for a reaffir-
mation of farm draft deferments and Congres-
sional inquiries into “wholesale inductions” of
farm workers. Selective Service Director Hers-
hey told the Senate Military Committee that he
favors War Mobilizer James F. Byrnes to direct
the placement of workers under the legislation.
J. A. Krug, WPB chairman, said that increasing-
ly more production will be lost each week with-
out enactmeht of the bill.
Later this week, Chairman Thomas (Dem.-Utah) of
(he Senate Military Affairs Committee said his group
will investigate complaints from Arizona that German
war prisoners roam the streets and that others carry
swastikas. Sen. McFarland (Dem.-Ariz.) read a half
dozen letters saying that the prisoners do not escape
but “just walk off from their job.” One letter said, “They
(the prisoners) roam the neighborhood, steal from pe-
ople in (he vicinity, pilfer houses where there is no one
at home to see them do so. People are sore and disgust-
ed— especially men with sons overseas.” Letters also
told of the display of the swastika by a truck-load of
prisoners and said that the constable (of an unidenti-
fied Ariz. town) was prevented by. the guards from se-
arching prisoners and taking the swastika from them.
In this connection, Sec. of War Slimson
last week refuted charges that Italian POWs
are pampered. They are treated strictly in
accordance, with the Geneva Convention, he
pointed out. The Sec. cdso said that Italian
service units are made up from volunteers
and can used in any task but actual combat
and are permitted to work unguarded. These
men may visit PXs, theaters and chapels on
a post; make occasional supervised group
trips off the post and have visitors. Stimson
remarked that they can be returned to regul-
ar, status if they fail to carry out their work.
A plan calling for special aid to veterans going into
their own business was released by tbe OPA on Monday.
The plan includes revision of regulations which restrict
business fields to those who were in them before a cer-
tain date, changes in rationing regulations of some com-
modities and consideration under a uniform policy of
business needs of veterans entering new businesses.
