DETROIT, Oct. 3O.-Tens of thou

Rumors have been prevalent here

Engineers and financiers place the
blame on the rapid model changing

the extensive scrapping and chang

on the finances which can be main

Meanwhile Forl has laid off all

posed the Soviet Delegation on the

of the Soviet representatives that

comes to the Polish girls and asks
them to run size on the belt sys-

run 8 size on the belt system with

Polish girls; the girls ask if they
get the same pay for size on the
belt system as they get for 8 size
on the motor system.
The boss tells them that if they
run 8 size they get paid for 8 size.
This means that instead of getting
$1720 week they get SIS a week,
meaning a reduction of 1920 a week
