Senate Overrides FDR To
Stop Manpower Control Bill
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, April 3-The Sen-
ate overrode' President Roosevelt to-
day with a crushing 46 to 29 rejec-
tion of a bill empowering the Ad-
ministration to freeze workers to war
jobs and apply other sweeping man-
power controls.
Convinced that further efforts to
win votes for the measure were fu-
tile, majority leader Barkley (Ky.)
called for a vote unexpectedly this
afternoon and sat by helplessly as the
margin rolled up against it.
No Prospect of Manpower Legislation
It previously was understood that
the showdown would be delayed until
tomorrow.
While, at the suggestion of Senator
O'Mahoney (D.-Wyo.), the Senate
Krug Outlines
Program for
Reconversion
New Mandates
Will Relax Control
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, April 3 - B
Chairman J. A. Krug predicted to ay
that within one year after Germany's
collapse, U. S. plants will be pro-
ducing a substantial amount of all
the things civilians have been miss-
ing.
This does not mean that all civilian
desires will be met in those 12 months,
he told a pews conference, but it
does mean that they can be satisfied
to a considerable extent in all fields.
Munitions Output Cut
Krug said that despite a slower
start toward reconversion than was
hoped for last fall, total munitions
output will be cut about 35 per cent
in the year following V-E day. This,
he said, would permit by the end of
that year a rate of civilian goods
manufacture roughly equal to that
of 1939.
Krug promised today that the.
government would not attempt to
shape the- country's postwar business
structure. But he warned that while
Japan fights we will not enjoy any-
thing like a free economy.
Outlines Reconversion Program
Krug outlined this reconversion
program to become effective at times
depending on the extent of military
cutbacks :-.
1. War contracts will be cancelled,
wherever possible, in such a way as to
distribute the munitions load evenly
throughout the country; this will pre-
vent many cities or regions from be-
ing tied up with armaments while
others go ahead with peacetime pro-
duction.
2. Priorities and allotments of ma-
terials will be continued for a very
limited number of civilian products
"which are in short supply and whose
scarcity endangers the continued war
effort.
Manufacturers To Get Aid
3. Manufacturers will get assist-
ance in obtaining tools, equipment,
needed new construction, and neces-
sary materials and parts so that they
may be ready for large-scale civilian
manufacturing when deep arms cut-
backs occur.
4. WPB will suspend, in most cases,
the priority rules which prevent the
delivery of materials and parts to
non-priority purchasers.
5. The controlled materials plan,
or "CMP"-under which steel, copper
and a iminum are rationed to manu-
approved a motion to seek a further
conference with the House in an ef-
fort at a new compromise, the feel-
ing prevailed that there was no pros-
pect of any manpower legislation at
all.
The last hope of passage of the
pending bill faded yesterday when
Senator Johnson (D.-Colo.), one of
its original sponsors, joined the line-
up against it after James F. Byrnes,
just before quitting as War Mobiliz-
ation Director, called for its passage.
Opposition Because of Byrnes' Resig
Johnson said that with Byrnes re-
tiring to civil life "it is a poor time
to freeze other people to their jobs."
Senator Hatch (D.-N. M.) sought
to save the measure today with a
plea for support of the Presidentand
military authorities.
He said he resented the implica-
tion that by quitting Byrnes was
doing something he would deny work-
ers. Byrnes stayed on the job, Hatch
said, "longer perhaps than his health
and welfare permitted."
"Inviting People to Quit"
Senator Lucas (D.-Ill.) declared
that Senators using Johnson's argu-
ment were "virtually inviting people
to quit" when Germany is defeated.
"On the face of the record of war
production and the fact of testimony
by both Management and Labor that
voluntary methods will produce more
war weapons, I am compelled to vote
against the pending bill, and the vast
amount of power it would put in
one man."

By JEAN ENGSTROM
For the past 15 years the School
of Forestry and Conservation has car-
ried on revolutionary research in
the field of wood technology at the
Wood Utilization Laboratory, a small
building behind the University Hos-
pital. The development of post war
products of wood is a part of the
work being carried on there now,
William Kynoch, Professor of Wood
Technology said.
Wood Not An Obsolete Material
A general feeling exists that wood
is an obsolete material whereas in
reality it is that conception that is
obsolete, Prof. Kynoch pointed out.
Wood is as responsive to chemical
treatment as any other material; it
has become a new material for en-
gineering and research uses as shown
in the work at the Wood Labora-
tory, and its development will not
stop there, he continued.
Wooden tubing, varied in design to
produce desired properties, is an ex-
ample of the new uses for wood. The
wooden tube has replaced steel tub-

Wood Courses
Are Changed
For Foresters
Details of the basic wood tech-
nology curriculum have been chang-
ed in order to meet the needs of stu-
dents training for definite industries
in the wood technology field, Dr.
Samuel T. Dana, dean of the forestry
school said in an interview yesterday.
Fewer Engineering Prerequisites
The program now includes fewer
engineering prerequisites and more
electives both in the wood technology
field and in the literary and business
administration schools. The new
schedule will give the sLudent flexi-
bility in preparation for work in spe-
cialized wood industries such as fur-
niture or wood or box container man-
ufacture.
SpecialDegree Given
A committee, headed by Charles R.
Sligh, President of the National As-
sociation of Furniture Manufactur-
ers, has approached the forestry
school with the idea of establishing
a special course for the training of
technologists in the furniture indus-
try, Dr. Dana said. Conferences with
the furniture association will con-
tinue.
The University is the first school
to offer the Degree of Ba helor of
Science in Wood Technology to dis-
tinguish that training from that for
the ordinary degree in forestry. This
degree, first offered here three years
ago, has set a precedent that may be
followed by other schools, Dr. Dana
said.

WASHINGTON, April 3.- (P)-
The Navy announced today that its
V-12 college units will remain ir
operation for the term from July I
to Nov. 1.
At the same time iit was announced
that establishment of additional Na-
e val Reserve Officers Training Corps
units, previously scheduled to take
place July 1, would be postponed.
ing in 26 different uses in war indu-
stry, Prof. Kynoch said. Wood pro-I
ducts weigh less, cost less to produce,
and have all the advantages in
strength that steel has. Chemical
processes have made wood highly re-
sistant to fire, moisture, and decay.
Research and Instruction
Research at the Wood laboratory is
carried on in the interest of indu-
strial associations contacted through
the engineering college.
The Wood Laboratory is used in in-
struction as well as research. Iri
1934 the forestry department intro-
duced a new type of training which
combined mechanical engineering
with wood technology, a system which
has been duplicated in other colleges
throughout the country.
Graduates Carry on Research
Some of the research carried on at
the Wood Laboratory is done.by stu-
dents working on master's or doctor's'
degrees. A few years ago a study of
the mechanical properties of tropi-
cal woods (mostly South American)
was completed by graduate students.
The laboratory is equipped with the
most modern apparatus for wood re-
search. A lumber drying kiln, a
plant for the molding of plywood, a
strength testing machine, a constant
temperature and humidity room, a
]aboratory for the microscopic study
of wood are a part of its equipment.
Molding of Plywood a Simple Process
The basic principle of the molding
of plywood as carried on in a special
plant in the laboratory is very simple,
Prof. Kynoch explained, though it
can be complicated by many different
processes used to make special pro-
ducts.
Basically, it involves the laying of
alternate layers of veneer and an
adhesive on a form of the object te
be produced. The form is then put
into a rubber bag and a vacuum i
produced within the bag, thus pro-
ducing air pressure which presse
the layers of veneer together. The

The entertainment, planned by th(
Philippine-Michigan Club to com-
memorate the return of America

Mrs. Lim, former president of th
National Federation of Women'
Clubs, was general secretary of the
Centro Escolar University for Womer
in the Philippines. She advanced th
cause of woman suffrage in her ow
country, aiding its adoption in th
Philippine constitution of 1937. Whil
' in the United States, she has deliver-
ed lectures from coast to coast, ap-
pearing on several broadcasts.
The program will be open to th
public; tickets may be obtained fron
' Filipino students, or at the Inter-
s national Center.
The Veterans Organization will
hold its regular meeting at 7:30 p.m.
tomorrow in the basement of Lane
Hall.
Since a constitutional amendment
concerning the admission of Allied
veterans will receive final action, it
is requested that all veterans attend.
The remaining portion of the meet-
ing will be devoted to the nomina-
tion and election of officers. All vet-
erans are urged to procure their eli-
gibility cards so that the business of
elections can proceed without inter-
ruption.
ENDING TODAY
whole thing is put into a steel cylin-
der where pressure and heat applied
through steam and air brings about
a chemical change in the adhesive.
The product when taken out is sub-
stantially a completed unit. The pro-
cess takes a very short time, usually
less than an hour, Prof. Kynoch said,
It is this process which is used
in making wood parts for airplanes,
boats, and other products of modern
industry. The chemical development
of new adhesives has helped to make
wood's new place in industry, Prof.
Kynoch stated.
