R J Thomas of the United Auto Workers told the Senate Military Committee that manpower is not the core issue, but the proper use of workers amid material shortages.

He cited layoffs at Glenn L Martin’s Baltimore plant and warned against plans that freeze wages or reduce production. He noted widespread underutilization, with many plants not running full shifts and workers facing absenteeism and injuries. He also mentioned a POW in a Marine corps family letter and 350 various military hospital registries in the U S.

Collection of Waste Fats and Greases in Maryland
Maryland collected 118 568 pounds of waste fats and greases in February, over 50 percent of the state quota, boosting total since August 1 to 505 665 pounds. James F Solley says Maryland ranks among the nation’s leaders but notes continued effort is needed to meet the 202 500 pounds per month target as rationing tightens. The War Production Board urges intensified collection as demand rises and sources shrink, with national goals around 300 billion pounds yearly.
