Union Officials Plan
To Extend Strike al
General Motors
Company Must kegotiote
In Good faith on
Demands, They Soy
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, July 8-Union officials
tonight announced plans to extend
a strike in General Motors Corp
tool and die departments, which gave
indications of developing into pro-
longed struggle.
Walter P. Reuther. director Of the
G.. M. department of the G. I. o.
United Automobile Workers, said
that unless the corporation negotl-
ates "in good faith" on union de-
mands, the walkout which already
has affected nine plants in Detroit
and Pontiac, Mich, will spread next
week to other G. M. units in De-
troit, Saginaw, Mich, and Cleveland,
Ohio.
The corporation termed some of
the union demands unreasonable.
approximately 5000 skilled work
ers are idle because of the strike,
which is aimed at Gripping General
Motors preparations for production
of its 1910 model automobiles.
100000 Could Be Affected.
Prolongation of the dispute could
throw 100000 G. M. employees out
of work. Corporation officials sald
$500 production workers at the
Chevrolet gear and axle plant here
probably would be laid off Monday
or Tuesday because tools have be
come dull since tool cutters and
grinders joined the walkout.
Tho TT
ed demands for wage increases. A
union label, an apprentice setup.
minimum hiring rate and overtime
pay for tool and die workers, en-
glneers and maintenance men.
William S. Knudsen. president Of
General Motors, said wage and
seniority demands amounted to re-
quests to change the G.. M.-U. A. w.
contract. and added. We cannot
negotiate the provisions of an ex-
isting contract with either of the
I two factions of the U. A. w. -s- un-
til the court or the National Labor
Relations Board ITO whom we have
addressed a petition) has established
''' which faction is the RESPONSE
BILE party to that contract"
A Wayne County Detroit court
has set September IL for trial of
suits to determine whether the U.
A. VIC. I. O. or the A. F. L.
affiliated U. A. w. headed by Homer
Martin is rightful owner of the as
sets held by the union prior to its
split into two sections last winter.
Delay Appears Probable.
Delay of similar length appeared
probable before any decision by the
N. L. R. B. on the interunion dis
pute in General Motors plants could
be obtained. Frank H. Bowen. re-
gional director of the board. said
today it was mot likely" bargain
ing election of G. M. employees could
be held within 60 days.
Mr. Reuther announced union
tool and die workers in job shops
have pledged support to the c. I. o.
strike and that they might "lay
aside General Motors work in pref
erence for that of other manufac-
turers.
He said skilled workers In the
Fisher Body plant at Cleveland, the
Chevrolet steering gear plant in
Saginaw, and the Cadillac. Chew
rolet forge and G. M research styl-
ing divisions in Detroit have au-
! thorized strike action.

Ship Will Be Landed
At Newport Today

blimp XII was flying low over Buz-
Yards Bay during lightning, rain
and Windstorm. the Coast Guard Or
dered two cutters and a power life
boat to the scene tonight, but the
craft rode out the heavy weather
and proceeded in a southerly di-
rection.
Naval officials at the ships home
station at Lakehurst. N. j.. said
the blimp, with eight aboard, was
lin normal flight" planned to land
at Newport, R. l.. at about am
tE. D. TD tomorrow and was not in
trouble.
Although residents here feared
the blimp was in danger after a
lighthouse keeper at West Chop
reported the ship apparently was
in distress. Comdr. Robert H. Gray
son of the Newport 'R. L. Naval
Training Station said there was no
cause for alarm" The blimp had
been in communication with the
training station throughout the day.
En- route from Cape Cod to her
home station at Lakehurst, N. j.,
the XII had made forced landing
earlier at Hyannis when gasoline
ran low but took off again after
refueling. She had become lost last
night on a navigation fight from
Lakehurst to New England.
Three Boats Dispatched.
The Gay Head Coast Guard Sta
ton said the cutter Argo had been
sent to the scene from Newport and
the Faunce from Woods Hole, while
40-foot power )oat was dispatched
from Gay Head Alarm for the craft
was lessened, however. when resi-
dents of Falmouth reported the
SHIPS motors were running "sWeetlv." ."
Fears for the craft were felt at
dusk when Oak Bluff residents on
Marthas Vineyard said they saw
what they thought was ballast being
thrown overheard and signal lights
flashing. Comdr. Grayson said the
signals were routine, however.
Fog Envelopes Blimp.
When Comdr. G. D. Zurmuehlen,
commanding officer, brought the
bllmp down at Hyannis, with the
aid of a volunteer landing crew of
IS. he said if winds were bad he
might continue flying over this sec
ton of Cape Cod until weather con-
ditions cleared before heading for
Lakehurst.
Fog enveloped the XII during its
flight from Lakehurst last night and
when gas ran low Zurmuehlen was
ordered to land the blimp either at
Newport or Hyannis. He chose
Hyannis because fog blanketed the
Newport landing field.

PARIS, July 8-The French cabi-
net was reported in political circles
today to be putting finishing
touches on campaign for more
babies for France.
Premier Daladier's government
was expected to put measures de-
signed to end the nations declin-
ing birth rate into effect by using
his dictatorial decree powers.
Births in 1888 decreased from the
1887 total, while deaths increased
and in both years exceeded births
At the same time, Frances two
great totalitarian neighborS. Ger
many and Italy. the former with
about twice Frances 100000 pop
ulatlon and the other running ahead
of the French total, both showed
substantial net gains
Reich Birth Margin 4S2 900.
Germany's 1887 margin of births
over deaths was 482 900. Italy's 1888
margin was 4240O0. Frances mar
gin of deaths over births was 34,741
in 1888 and 1184l in 1887.
A cabinet meeting with President
Albert Lebrun, whose signature on
DEGREES is necessary to make them
into laws, was called for Tuesday
morning.
NJ Daladier. who has two sons,
emphasized the importance he
places on the campaign by accept
ing an invitation to preside at the
closing session of the French Ma
tality Congress. 1t will be the first
time a French premier has recog-
nized the organization officially.
L feel that the dangers France
runs as a result of declining births,
he told a delegation from the
French Federation of Large Fami-
lies, which invited him to the con-
greSS, ARE as grave as the perlls
our country has to fear from the
foreign situation
Family Code Planned.
The premier has assigned min
iSterial committee to work out a
code of defense for the French
family" to provide financial rewards
for parents of numerous children
train the youths and give them out
lets in the colonies.
The code will be put into effect by
decree under the blanket powers ac-
corded by Parliament to the govern
ment until November 30. Until now
DEGREES have been devoted to ap-
propriating funds for national de-
fense, increasing the work week be-
yond 40 hours and reforming the
financial structure of the nation.
None of these measures has at
tracted the popular attention
aroused by the efforts to create
men,
The general outlines of this pro-
gram were given by the premier
June in an address to the EXecu-
tive Committee of his Radical
Socialist party.
"A deserted country cannot be a
free country" M. Daladier said. 1T

b FOR BRADYCARDIA

Cardia means heart. Brady means
slow. Bradycardia Is the medical
term for slow heart action, slow pulse
Sure enough, or Doc Brady's pulse
rate has always been ten points be-
low par. And exc his blood pressure
Perhaps 1t Is just the nature of the
animal. The nurse who has been TAX
ing care Of the old geek for years says
he Is as lazy as white dog. I take It
there's nothing alive that is more
indolent than white dog, unless
It Is a yellow dog. Tony the Wirish
Terror, O pat on the head to his
memory, was mostly white, with
patches Of yellow here and there,
and some areas black and silver
Tony was distinctly not lazy. Why,
when that dog wagged his tail,
which he did most Of the time, he
wagged practically everything from
his shoulders back,
But Napoleon and and q few
other individuals belong In a cate
CORY apart from the ruck Of folk
with bradycardia. The condition Is
normal In our category, we are born
that way, like eight-toed cats.
This talk about bradycardia Is for
the benefit Of people who have ac-
quired the condition as q sign or
manifestation or effect Of what ails
them; people who had q pulse rate

GO to 80 beats o minute) when they
were we'll, but now, through IMPAIR
ment Of health, have a pulse rate of
less than 10 beats o minute-the
rate In persons with bradycardia
may be 90 or as low as 80 beats a
minute when they are sitting at rest
We cannot attempt to cacount for
the development Of bradycardia In
various chronic conditions, but q
fundamental factor Is now recog-
nized, thanks to animal experiment
tation. In fact bradcardia Is a speci-
fic test for thiamin (vitamin BID
deficiency In laboratory animals and
may be produced and corrected at
will by Withholding the thiamin alone
(and no other factor from the
animals feed, and then corrected by
addition Of some pure thiamin to
the feed. Not only bradycardia, but.
in pigeons at any rate, a condition
equivalent to heart block In the hui
man subject may occur when the feed
is deficient In vitamin B-1.
Please bear IN mind that this sug-
gestion Is a difficult one offered by a
Flooding door-to-door doctor who
never set the world afire with his
medical discoveries. I believe most
persons with bradycardia Of recent

development, especially If the slow
