Washington, (INS)—Paul V. McNutt, mampower head, disclosed today that amendments are being prepared to his job-wage control order to permit essential workers in areas without employment stabilization programs to transfer to higher paying jobs.
McNutt Amends Job-Wage Order To Allow Change
These "interim" regulations, he told a news conference, will authorize the 3400 local United States Employment service offices to grant "certificates of availability" to workers in essential industries seeking to change jobs.
Transfers Will Be Allowed
Permission to shift employment will be granted by the employment offices when they are convinced that the transfers are in the interest of the war effort, McNutt said.
Similar transfers are now permissible for workers in the 60 areas where employment stabilization programs are now in effect. Transfers are authorized, regardless of wages, when the woker can show that he is not being utilized at the highest scale or that his present job is being injurious to his health or that he cannot get to work because of transportation problems.
Workers Could Not Transfer
However, workers in the nonsubstitution areas—under McNutt's order as originally issued—had no way of obtaining permission to transfer to another job at a higher salary. They could shift employment only at the same rate of pay.
"We are not trying to hurt anybody," McNutt said. "We are only trying to support a policy which we have had from the outset of controlling hiring and doing away with the tremendous labor turnover in all industries."
Davis To Address Senate Group
Washington, (INS)—Elmer Davis, director of the Office of War Information, today accepted the suggestion of Senator Joseph P. O'Mahoney (D) of Wyoming, that he conduct his next news conference before the Senate Judiciary Committee. The conference will be held Wednesday.

Stock Wants Pope At Peace Conference
Chicago, (INS) — Declaring the Vatican is the best listening post in the world. Dr. Leo F. Stock yesterday advocated early resumption of formal diplomatic relations with the Vatican and the invitation of Pope Pius to the peace conference.
Dr. Stock, former associate professor of American History and now chairman of the American Historical Association, spoke before the Charles Carroll Forum in Chicago.
He pointed out that there now are 12 ambassadors and 25 ministers accredited to the Vatican in addition to Myron F. Taylor, President Roosevelt's ambassador extraordinary. He added:
"The Vatican is the best listening post in the world. It has the best intelligence service and means of gathering information from all corners—means not possible for any nation. The importance of maintaining contact with such a news center cannot be overestimated.
"That the chances for a just and enduring peace would be more likely to succeed if the Pope should be invited to sit at the peace table cannot be questioned."

Food Scarcity Is Predicted By Government
Washington, (INS) A darker food picture today faced the American civilian population, with the agriculture department estimating that food will be even more scarce than was expected several months ago.
4g0. Revising its estimate on food supplies, the department disclosed that civilians will have less meat, poultry, milk, dairy products, fruits and vegetables and at the same time, warned consumers that some of the now hard-to- get foods will remain scarce during the rest of the year.
Some commodities may be available in slightly larger quantities however, such as canned fruits, vegetables and sugar.
vegetables are some of the estimated reductions based on latest reports on crops, farm supplies and new demands from the armed services and lend-lease.
Meat: from 138 pounds per capita annually to 124 pounds.
Fish: from 9.1 to 8.6 pounds

WRITERS TO TELL---
(continued from page seven) York publisher Harold K. Guinzburg, said in a statement:
"We are leaving (The OWI) because of our conviction that it is impossible for us, under those who now control our output, to tell the full truth."
The group refused to give the exact reason why its members quit the government service, but it has been reported widely in Washington that they did not agree on the manner in which information on the country's food supply was made known. They declined to disclose whether the food report was made more optimistic than real facts on the food situation warrant.
