Solons Fight Manpower Bill
WASHINGTON C2 The manpower bill, passed by the House, faces stormy sailing in the Senate this week. Senator Bever Comb West Virginia Call says the bill is a definite move by the administration to seize complete control of the private lives and efforts of the people. Senator Johnson Colorado contends the War Department has sabotaged the measure by reversing its original recommendation to give War Mobilizer James F Burnes administrative authority. Undersecretary of War Patterson said the War Department still backs the bill to tell our fighting men they will get the weapons and supplies they must have.
