PAGE SIX REPORTS ON EMPLOYMENT BEING MADE War Manpower Will Assist Local Establishments in Preparing Sfatements To lend assistance to employees of | u business houses in preparing number of persons | r them as of August 1, ives of the War Man-| amission will call upon | ablishments within the next few days, Arthur Hedges, War Man- power Commissioner, said today action is being taken by order . Office of War Mobilization pose of rationing all labor . or all types of industry The employment information gathered from these reports will be turned over to a Manpower Prior-| ities Committee, which committee | will decide on the ceilings. This committee will be set up shortly, Hedges stated, and will consist ol representatives of the Army, Navy or Coast the War Pxoducuon Board, e Service and the Commission. The WMC has been holding conferences with Norman Stines, of the War| Production Board, who has desig- | nated Harold Foss to represent him during his absence. The commission is now awaiting appointment in- structions from the Commanding General of the Alaskan Department and the Commanding Officer of the 17th Naval District, concerning their representatives in Juneau and other localities in which there will be Manpower Priorities Committees Once the ceiling has been estab- | lished, Hedges said, any further | change in personnel will have to be cleared through the Manpower Pri- orities Committee. Any new busi- ness, established after August 1, will have to seek permission from the priorities committee in order to obtain employees. In the past, employers who were unable to secure help in their own areas or in Alaska, have been able to seek necessary assistance in the continental United States. However, under the orders. issued by War Mobilization Director James Byrnes, such employers will first have to secure permission from the priorities committees before seeking aid out- side of the local area and of Alaska. —— .- FOUR FLIGHTS TODAY FOR ALASKA COASTAL A flight to Sitka was made to- day by an Alaska Coastal plane, carrying Sgt Minard, Russ Clithero, N.
