Representative Andrew J. May, shown as a country doctor with a top hat, remarks disgustedly, "After what you fellows have done to that critter, there''s nothing left but to bury it." With the Germans on the verge of surrender, the Roosevelt Administration began to fear that civilian workers in crucial war jobs might leave, despite the fact that Japan remained to be defeated. Congressman May sponsored a bill that would have "frozen" workers in certain jobs, under penalty of being drafted. In the Senate, a committee recommended drastic modifications, reducing it to a "voluntary" plan, but even that was too strong to pass. In the end, the plan came to nothing. MEDIUM:1 drawing.
