FORD FACTORY
HALTS WORK
IN SHORTAGE

DETROIT, Dec. 10 O.NS0.
Strikes began forcing curtailment
of automobile production today.
Several departments in the Ford
River Rouge plant, the Ford Buff
falo assembly factory, the Pierce
Arrow Buffalo plant and the De-
troit plant of the Murray Body
Corporation of America had to
suspend operations because Of o
shortage Of brake drums from
the Kelsey-Hayes Wheel Corpora
tion.
Holding Plants
The two Kelsey-Hayes plants
here were closed down last week
by the management, after three
sit-down strikes in a week dis
rupted production schedules. About
5000 men are idle there, with 200
or 300 strikers still in possession
of the plants.
The labor difficulties came just
as auto production was reaching
its winter peak and while John
L. Lewis, head of the Committee
on Industrial Organization, threat
ened in Washington to call a
strike in General Motors plants
employing 100000 men unless the
company grants the United Auto
mobile Workers Union, C1O
affiliate, union recognition.
Ford Firm Hit
w. S. Knudsen, a vice president
of General Motors, in a speech
at Indianapolis last night, said he
thought collective bargaining
should start before rather than
after trouble had arisen.
Because of shortage of parts, the
Ford Company was forced to dis
miss it's night shift of 10000 men
in the Rouge plant temporarily
and curtail Buffalo assemblies. In
an official statement, it limited it
may be forced to close down other
branch plants.
Ford has no labor trouble in it's
own plants.

l. confession by a 13-year-old in.
mate of the New York State
Training School for Boys re-
vealed the Staying of a 1O-vear.
old boy missing from his home
',ere three months.
John Macari, whose parents
had sent him to the training
school as incorrigible, confessed,
police said, that he killed his
chum, Francis Xavier Liano, by
striking him on the head with
a piece Of lead pipe the boys
had stolen from an abandoned
tenement.
Police found a body in
small closet in the tenement
Because of the condition of
the body. the boys father, DR..
Frank Laino, an inferno at ia.
maica Hospital, Jan aica, L. l.,
was unable to identify it, but
said the ,lothing resembled that
Of his son.
Mother Promises Fight
When police and officials Of
the training school at Warwick,
N. Y, first questioned Macari they
had no suspicion that a crime had
been committed, but thought that
Macari could throw some light on
the disappearance of his chum.
Detectives were unable to obtain
any information from him, and
the questioning finally was left to
psychiatrists under the direction
of DR.. Herbert S. Williams, super
intendent Of the institution. The
boy finally broke down and told
the whole story, according to Will
liams' report to police.
John Macari is one of 10 chill
dren, six girls and four boys, the
youngest 18 months old. His
father, Philip Macari, As, is d
street-Sweeper employed by the
city.
When told of the tragedy, the
boys mother, Mrs. Frances Macarl,
81, wrung her hands and wept.
but refused to believe her son was
guilty of the crime. She said:
He may have been wild, as
he wouldn't go to school, but he
would not have killed anybody.
They are trying to pin some
thing on him. I'm going to get
lawyers and fight"
Called "Cheater"
Authorities declared, however.
that the boys confession was com
plete, pointing out that Lalnos
oody was found just as Macarl
said it would be. They quoted
Macari as saying:
"He called me cheater. he
said 1 was cheating him and get
ting all the pipe. said 1
wasn't.
"It was quiet in there. And
dark. There wasn't anybody
around. looked down at him:
I'm taller than him. He looked
like he was mad at me.
81 picked up a piece of pipe
and started to hit him. He
begged me not to do it. He fell
over, and it scared me. picked
him up and put him in the
closet. First, tied his hands.
Then went home"
The boy had locked the door OF
the room behind him when ne
left, and police had to batter 1t
down to get into the apartment.
Two police detectives went to
Warwick today to question the boy
further, and planned to bring him
back here and place formal
charges against him.

What seemed to us a rather
amusing comment on Wash

the Military Attache of the
French Embassy, Lieut.. Col.
Emmanuel L o m b a r d, whose
pretty brunette wife has just
returned from a cruise to the

prevailed yesterday at noon
Nine. de Bianchi, wearing a
dark blue coat with a chic
little matching hat, waited for
her limousine to return to
pick her up while on a shop

passed the car, in which sat
her husband, the Minister of
Portugal, who was putting on
a cigarette, and wondering
no doubt-how many more
times the chauffeur would
have to circle the block.
