President William Green of the American Federation of Labor reiterated opposition to national service legislation before the Senate Military Committee. He blamed strikes on the government's wage and price policies and said a civilian labor draft would not add a single plane, ship, or tank.
Green tells Senate committee that strikes arise from failed cost of living stabilization and urges wage readjustment or price control. He warns wartime disputes will continue if war economy stays out of balance, arguing the war labor disputes act and a national service act would not prevent strikes.
War Food Administration reserve stocks for emergency use face political scrutiny in the election year. Officials weigh four release options to military, civilian, or mixed distribution or keeping supplies for 1945. The Bureau of Agricultural Economics notes potential civilian release amid price‑stability concerns.
General Joseph W. Stilwell known as Uncle Joe in the jungle of northern Burma is described as intensely curious about terrain and subordinates reports. He walks with troops, projects a fast pace, and has personally scouted the Hukawng Valley to map hills trails and rivers for the Ledo Road campaign.
Officials argue reserves may be held for non civilian uses including military and lend lease needs but do not rule out civilian use later in the year. They cite production seasons and pre election months shaping the timing of draws and releases.
Officials warn August September and October may see low production of beef pork eggs and milk. If civilian shortages emerge this year relief could be needed despite current low output implications.
