An informed source predicted today that this request to congress was lik- ely, and indications were that it would command strong support, es- pecially since President Roosevelt called on Americans in his Monday night radio address not to stop work a single day. Proposals for such legislation were said to have originated with officials | charged with responsibility for all- out war production. President Roose- | velt has repeatedly stressed the need | for uninterrupted production in nu- nierous speeches during the past year, but the arms program never- theless has lost hundreds of thous- ands of man-hours because of labor- management, jurisdictional and other controversies. As outlined by one influential Dem- ocratic senator the legislation prob- ably would include provisions for the immediate drafting into the armed forces of any striking worker who was. subject to military service but who had received deferment because of employment in an essential war jon.
