« PAGE SIX WMCMEET ONTODAY | Regional Director Hopkins‘; Speaks at Morning | Session The people along the Pacific slope in Alaska, Washington, Oregon and California—a total of perhaps twelve million—are carrying a heavier war Joad than any equal number of Am- ericans anywhere, William K. Hop- kins, Regional Director of the Wag Manpower Commission, San Fran- cisco, told the Area Manpower Com- mittee,composed of management and labor representatives, at its meeting this morning at the Scottish Rite Temple “The volume of war business al- lotted to the Pacific region, in addi- tion to larger production goals set | for such basis industries as agricul- ture and lumbering, makes an im- pressive total for an area of such | small population,” Hopkins said | Warning Given | “I want to warn you, too,” he add- | ed, “that the end of the war, from any standpoint of required produc- tion, is not in sight. There will be important changes in emphasis in war production because war produc- tion, by its very nature, cannot be static. There is a big job ahead and | management and labor which have worked together so successfully since | the defense program started nnm“ continue their united efforts.” Hopkins credited the close co-op- eration of management and labor, working through committee such as the one in Alaska, for maintaining a high level of war production. Ike P. Taylor, Area WMC Director, | presided at the morning session at which several revisions in the Alaska employment stabilization plan were discussed and approved. | Afternoon Session | At an afternoon session of the committee representatives of major industries and labor organizations were invited to discuss with the com- mittee special problems arising under the employment stabilization plan and to suggest changes in op- erating procedures.

Perhaps HE isn’t exactly bored with what But we can easily imagine that he’d rather be sitting on the porchsteps of his best girl’s home, holding hands. Or that tow-headed, clear-eyed kid who died in the immortal action as the Marines storm- ed the beaches at Tarawa. He’s not bored either. He’ll never be bored again as long as Time passes.
