in Foreign Affairs"
The pipe-smoking visitors from
England, interviewed at luncheon
in their honor yesterday by the local
debate team, were quick to point
out that tonights discussion was
no to be construed as an effort to
influence public opinion. Hence
their suggestion of split-team ar
rangement, each side composed Of
one Englishman and one America.
They are more interested in get
ting the opinions of Americans, par
ticularly ideas here on how Europe
may have a lasting peace than in
influencing opinion. Already" re-
marked Mr.. Street, thinking people
in England are investigating posi-
bilities of a peace that will last"

the service in which he will enlist.
When it is all over, both students

Entering Dodge Plant
Past Picket Lines

Officials Resume
Detroit TuIks

mately 600 workers entered the
Chrysler main Dodge plant today

booes of several thousand members
of the United Automobile Workers
Union &C. I. o. on the picket line.
Special police details were on duty.
AS was the case yesterday, when
about 200 workers were admitted to
the strike-bound plant, union lead
erS at loud speakers cautioned the
pickets against violence. The work.
ers, mostly colored, marched through
the gates four abreast.
A number of the men, unable to
produce Dodge workers, badges, were
turned back at the plant gates.
High officials of the corporation
and the U. A. VIC. I o. met again
today in renewed efforts to untan-
gle the labor dispute which has made
an estimated 10000 men idle in the
automobile and allied industries.
Murray Attends.
Philip Murray, C. I. o. national
vice president who entered the nego-
tiations yesterday. remained a party
to the discussions, presumably to
clarity the position of the c. 1. O.

foremen.
The corporation, contending that
foremen are agents of management
has refused to act on a union con-
tract until it receives assurances
from the c. I. o. that the foremen
will not repeat their demand for a
collective bargaining conference.
No comments we're forthcoming on
yesterdays all-day conference, fea-
tured by private talks between Mr.
Murray and K. T. Keller, Chrysler

impetus at meeting last night wher
approximately 1000 men processing
to be employed at the main Dodge
plant agreed to march into the plant
tomorrow morning. A crowd esti-
mated by police at $500 persons at
tended the meeting and voted unani-
nous approval of a return to work
at the Chrysler plants.
Called Gangsterism Victims.
In an address, Mr.. Martin declared
that Detroit. its workers and its
corporations are the victims of red
gangsterism.'
He termed the c.. I. O.s action in
the Chrysler dispute unjustifable
and inconsistent with "the good OF
labor's cause"
Il know" he added, that c. I. O.
officials ordered the showdown which
crippled Chrysler production and
ultimately led to the closing of the
plants"
An address relative to the labor
situation by Elliott Roosevelt, son OF
the President, was scheduled for to-
night at the Temple Babtist Church

the Park.
The missing man is said to have re-
turned to his home after midnight on
Wednesday morning. Mrs. Gnegy re-
tired and has stated that her husband
said he would sleep in a room on the
lower floor of the home, as he was
feeling i'll. Another member Of the
family, returning home about 2 o'clock
Wednesday morning said Mr. Gnegy
was not in the house.
Sheriff Owens reported that the
missing man weighs between lat and
155 pounds; has black hair, heavily
sprinkled with grey; grey eyes; thin
smooth face and wore faded brown
shirt with brown and white paint spots
on it; grey felt hat; light wash
trousers and new black oXfords.
