ecutive last night on the eve of
his retirement from politics. the

PRODUCTION PROJECT

According to John L. Wagner.
NYA area director in Detroit, the
program is not one designed TO
fit these girls for trade. Rather,
il is to instruct them in factory
methods and discipline. to show
them how to work from blueprints,
to fit them into the defense pro-
gram while at the same time CIV
ing them something interesting
and different from a household
routine.
Further. ii is strictly a produc-
ton project-their products al
ready are in use.
The project. recently started, is
the forerunner of more to be set
up in Detroit and in other cities
this will be model. The one on
West Lafayette is situated in an
old factory building. which was
once used by Edsel Ford to fabri-
cate racing cars.
The girls have painted the in
terror of the building and have
constructed much of their own
furniture. When completed, they
will have a separate machine shop
and bench assembly, welding room,
forge room and Stockroom.
JOBS FOR 200 GIRLS
Eventually 200 girls, working
two six-hour. shifts daily, will be
employed. Under the direction of
the project supervisor. Ward A.
Stone, they will earn 30 cents an
hour for a maximum of 60 hours
a month. The present group works
from 9 to. II and from l to A. with
two rest periods in addition to the
lunch hour.
All are given the same medical
assistance as that offered boys
and girls on all NYA projects
they are given credentials entitl-
ing them to medical and dental
attention at lower cost from
established medical agencies in
Detroit.
Any young ladies who are not
ashamed to roll up their sleeves
and mix a bit of elbow grease
with that of the shop variety are
advised by NYA officials to apply
at the offices at $50 East Jeffer-
son avenue. Applications will be
taken there from young men as
well as young women between the
ages of Is and IS.

NLRB Gets Plea
For JAW Vote
InLin(oIn Plant

A petition asking for national
labor relations board election in
the Lincoln plant of the Ford Mo-
tor Company was filed with the
NLRB today by the UAW-CIO.
The petition was signed by r. j.
Thomas, president of the union.
and Michael F. Widman Jr., di-
rector of the Ford organizing
drive.
In a joint statement Widman
and Thomas said:
"Ninety-five per cent of tho
Lincoln employees have desig-
mated UAW-CIO as their collec-
tive bargaining agent. This ID
another step by the UAW-CIO
to arrive at an orderly and
peaceful settlement of our diff
ferences with the Ford Motor
Company. The most Immediate
of these differences has arisen
from the wholesale layon Of
MON members at the Lincoln
plant.
REQUEST IGNORED"
I'VE had asked the Ford COM
pany to consent to an election,
among their employees at both
the Rouge and Lincoln plants,
but this request was ignored.
Such consent would have con-
siderably fastened the election.
Because of the immediate
seriousness, OF the situation at
Lincoln we are now petitioning
for an election there since the
procedure Of setting up the cleo
ton machinery at Rouge would
delay the election by a month
or more.
ut Is still possible for the
company to expedite matters by
consenting to an election II Il
has the interest of the public
and Of the Lincoln employees 1t
heart"
In a telegram to DR.. John r.
Steelman, head of the United
States Department of Labor Con.
Citation Service, yesterday Wild
man disclosed that at a meeting
held December 80, the union MEM
bcrs at the LINCOLN plant had voted

RATE OF TAXATION

On non-income producing assets
The tax is one-tenth of ] per cent
of the face value or par value
of the asset. On income pro-

per cent of the income. but not
over three-tenths of ] per cent
of the par or face value or less
than eHe-teHth- feF-eeHt-ef

The tax will therefore be 81

ducing assets and may go as high
as So per 81, 900 in the case of
income producing assets.
