A six-day truce averted work

Cal.
Responding to last minute efforts
of the defense mediation board
the United Automobile Workers
union (CIO) agreed to postpone its
strike deadline scheduled for We'd

truce provided that the final agree
ment on wages, hours and union

An estimated $500 of the COM
panys 11,400 employees belong to
the UAW. North American holds
contracts for $20O,O0O,0O0 worth of
bombers, pursuit ships and train
ing planes.
Announcement of the truce came
during President Roosevelt's address
Tuesday night which insisted de-
fense preparations must not be in
terrupted by disputes between labor
and labor, labor and capital or cap
ital and capital. The president prom
ised collective bargaining rights

School BUILDINGS

SACRAMENTO. May 28 IUP) -
A I0-year SS6,092. .45O building pro-
gram for California's State COL
lcges. institutions and correctional
schools was recommended to the
legislature today by Gov. Olson.
The governor however, proposed
state of construction be delayed
until July l, 943, because federal
officials have asked that govern
ment building be postponed during
the national emergency. He asked
that legislation be passed now for
the first biennial outlay, which
could be put to work before 1943
only by a vote of state building
commission composed of depart
ment heads if they decide there is
extreme unemployment in the con-
struction trades.
Olson omitted the building pro-
gram from his general budget in
January. but said the buildings
were needed to relieve overcrowd-
ing and provide for normal eX-

river awoke from winter lethargy
and flexed its muscles over hun
dreds of curving miles.
The spring stretch, brought on
by flood waters that boosted Boul-

and in turn required release of
more water down the river channel,

California Arizona border
More than 100 families were fore

thorities said there was no cause
for fear in the Imperial county
sector, even if flow from Boulder
dam has to be stepped up to $4,000
second feet instead Of the $4,000
now released. Some damage below
the Mexican border, however, ap-
peared inevitable. Farmers 20 and
80 miles below the line have been

Go Out on Strike

HOLLYWOOD, May %. CUP)-
Cartoonists for Walt Disney Produc-

bargaining agent and sever rela-

A picket line was established
shortly after am. CPSTC when the
union demands went unheeded By
Disney. The guild claimed at least
500 of the 700 cartoonists would take
their turns on the line.
The studio remained open, despite
the picket line, and Disney said he
would provide adequate" protec-

working.

About $4,000 feet of water is be-

the lake from filling too fast. Flow

The difference is normal loss be-
