Tide Turns Says Bard After West Coast Visit
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Ralph A. Bard, who warned last fall of American losses, now says the tide has turned and the war in the Pacific is getting off to a good start. He cautions there is still threat in the Japanese fleet, cites manpower shortages at four west coast ship repair yards, and notes 30 000 to 40 000 more workers are needed to return ships to battle. Bard says absenteeism from war plants stems from inflated heroism and urges recruiting from distant cities to fill shipyard labor needs.
