MildenhaU" local office manager of the War Commission's United Manpower States Employment Service, announced today that local offices of the USES in Utah would put into effect immediately a new, uniform national system for classifying the manpower orders of employers in the order of their relative importance to the national war effort. The new employment priority system establishes five clear-ccategories, Mr. MildenhaU explained, and provides standard criteria for rating the importance of manpower requiements in any locality in relation to the critical war programs. ut Assognmenf oi H.orities wi made In some cases at the natlonl level, and in some cases by the State WMC director, Mr. MildenhaU explained. However, in either case, the same factual standards will be applied. The five categories approved by an agreement between the War and the Manpower Commission War Production board are as follows: Number I rating assgned nationally to orders of exceptional nation importance. Number H rating assigned by the State WMC director to emergency orders. Number UI rating assigned at national or state levels only to orders from establishments which have been assined a production urgency rating of III and whose production or service is behind schedule for manpower reasons or threatens to become so because of an expanded schedule, and only if they are orders for workers who will be engaged on 'must" production or services, or on poduction or services with locally equivalent urgency ratings. Number NV ratings are assigned at national or state level only to orders from establishmens which have been assigned a production urgency of IV or which have been assigned a production urgency rating of HI and whose orders have not been placed in prority category 3. Orders from either such establishments will be placed in -this category only if they are for workers who will be employed on the production or service designated a must o equivaent in urgency. Number V rating assigned by State WMC director to orders from essential and locally needed estab lishments if the orders requre preferential treatment in referral and the establishments have been assigned a production urgency rating of V or more.
