...confusion and lack of direction continue. College men still query, "What should I do?" Director Hershey states publicly that he will be forced to draft any man applying for the ERC who has not yet been accepted, and the pretentious War Manpower Commission under Paul McNutt stands idly by. There is now before the War Manpower Commission a War Service Bill, comparable to the one in England, which would mobilize the total manpower of the nation--now. Nothing is more important than for the bill to set up a plan which will eliminate the present incoherence. For if we ever...
Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt had appointed a child-care coordinator: sandy-haired Charles Irwin Schottland of the Children's Bureau. Mr. Schottland went straight to Mr. McNutt's War Manpower Commission for help. His problem: how to overcome the scarcity of servants and of day nurseries.

Already since Pearl Harbor war workers have grown to 5,600,000. The armed forces have taken perhaps 2,000,000 more. Another 5,000,000 will be needed in war plants by year's end, precipitating the crisis McNutt expects to face in October...
...Negro problem, McNutt admitted, is far from licked. Employers had better get set for a big increase in pressure for jobs for Negroes. There are approximately 1,000,000 able-bodied Negroes in war-industry areas who are either unemployed or in civilian industries. USES has been directed to reject all applications for additional employes from companies discriminating against them or any other group. Many employers as a result have refused to deal with USES, have resorted to "at-the-gate" hiring. But eventually, says McNutt, they will have to submit to USES conditions, because USES will have most...
...pressing problem is the local unemployment situation in New York City, caused by declining civilian-goods industries, by the great number of small plants (average 19 workers per shop) and by lack of substitute war industries. There are currently 400,000 jobless, and the number promises to grow larger. McNutt is pessimistic about the chances of doing anything much about the New York situation, because the Army is reluctant to place important war contracts in an area so vulnerable. A peculiar feature of the situation is that serious labor shortages exist in Connecticut, Long Island, and New Jersey...
