JULY 23, 1942 Plan Suggested by Senate Interim Committee, May Help All Orange Growers Within County’s Area Because California is facing an acute labor shortage in the harvesting of its varied fruit, vegetable and grain crops, a new service plan has been set in motion by the California Senate interim committee on economic planning, composed of Senators Robert W. Kenney and John Phillips. They have urged Paul V. McNutt, director of the War Manpower commission, to come to California immediately and set up a separate farm labor placement unit of the Federal Employment Service as the quickest and best possible solution to the problem of harvest labor shortage. Senator Kenny, committee chairman, has pointed out that McNutt, at a distance of 3,000 miles, cannot realize the seriousness of the problem in this area. MAJOR POINTS Among major points of the committee's plan, is that of establishing a farm placement unit separate from the present functions of the U.S. Employment Service supplying manpower for industry. This service would be responsible for supplying sufficient labor to Patriotic Meeting Next Thursday Service clubs and patriotic groups of Anaheim and Orange county are cooperating this week in a movement to attract a capacity audience to hear Dr. John R.

MAJOR POINTS Among major points of the committee's plan, is that of establishing a farm placement unit separate from the present functions of the U.S. Employment Service supplying manpower for industry. This service would be responsible for supplying sufficient labor to produce the food stuffs and fibers for the nation's war efforts. Field men in all rural areas would be constantly informed as to those farms needing men, and the time of that need. This would keep the labor supply fluid and fully utilized, and such placement officials could keep a constant check on farm labor needs. Recent announcement from the Santa Ana office of the U.S. Employment Service indicates a steady rise in labor needs through the peach harvest in August, with the peak to be reached in October in San Joaquin valley. This will be when grapes, tomatoes and cotton will all require attention at the same time. Orange county with its citrus industry, has attempted to solve the present labor shortage by using high school and junior college youths from various Southland cities. In the neighboring Placentia area, more than 150 Pasadena boys have been recruited through Pasadena YMCA, and are formed into crews for harvesting the Valencia crop. San Juan Capistrano and Tustin areas found that similar crews recruited by the Long Beach Y have helped to alleviate the shortage of fruit pickers. Rev. H. G.
