Lansing Hopes Grow
For Settlement Today
NJ LANES L. KHGALIEN

Ian SING, Mich, April 6
ON.SD-A strong feeling that the
Chrysler automobile strike would
be settled today or tonight was
evident here today as the peace
parley was resumed at 1926 a. m.
T. . fact that Walter P. Chrys-
Ter conferred last night with the
managers of his eight plants which
have been closed since March 8
was taken in some quarters as
indicating a settlement is imml-
nent and that the company is
making plans to resume opera
lions.
1t was the eleventh day
of the parley, at which Chrysler
and John L. Lewis, head Of the
Committee for Industrial Organl-
cation, have fought it out on
the issue of the extent Of col
lective bargaining.
Lewis demands that the United
Automobile workers Union should
be the sole bargaining agency
for all of Chrysler's employees.
Chrysler, while agreeing to deal
with the u. A. W., contends he
is within his rights in insisting
he should bargain with any
other group Of employees II ne
should see fit.

Meanwhile, a suggested constitu-

What this might be DR.. Gilbert
did not attempt to say.
Discussion of the matter with
the widely known psychiatrist was
not very encouraging.
LITTLE TO KNOW
Not that the doctor did not
seem to know all that was to be
known on the subject, but from
the fact that, with all his knowl
edge, there was so little to know.
1t will be recalled that after the
latest of New York's violent and
disgusting cases which cost the
life of an 8-year-old girl, Mayor F..
H. LaGuardia ordered all persons
charged with sex offenses to be
examined by psychiatrists.
With that move DR.. Gilbert is
in complete sympathy. believing it
to be good practice. Whether the
ultimate results of such a course
will be genuinely helpful is mat
ter about which the doctor seems
to have some doubts.
