For Arms.
CIO Plea

Pleading the cause Of national
defense and the impending layoff
of non-defense workers. the UAN-
Go today petitioned the Chrysler
Corporation TO place all defense
production on a seven day week
basis.
The recommendation was made
in open letter 10 corporation
heads signed by William A..
Marshall and Morris Field, CO.
directors OF the ChrySler JAW.
The plan calls for four 40-hour
shifts week instead of the pres
ent three and would eliminate the
present Saturday and Sunday lay
off.
4S HOURS NOW IDLE
1.-THE present production week
Il only l20 hours" Marshall said.
There are 1913 hours In a week
which means that - Of -tfcm are
now idle. We are recommending
that sufficient employees be
transferred from non-defense 10
defense jobs To allow the forma-
ton of four full 40-hour shifts.
by rotating all employees 80
that no one works more than
five days, 10 per cent more
workers can be employed and
40 per cent greater production
can be assured our government
for its defense needs.
AT the Chrysler tank arse
nal alone this plan will build 100
additional tanks a month and
that's a lot of tanks. IL would
still leave eight hours a week
10 maintain, repair and oil ma
chinery, which il more than
ample"
The proposal also provides that
employees be paid overtime on the
Saturdays and Sundays on which
they work.

Detroiter Hits
Arsenal Policy
AtHouse0uiz
BY THEODORE A. HUNTLEY
Times stan Correspondent

z WASHINGTON. Oct. 29.-Crit-
icism of the governments policy
in building a complete plant for
making army tanks. as in the
case OF the Chrysler arsenal, was
voiced before the House commit
tee investigating national defense
migration by Alex Taub of De-
troit, technical consultant for the
labor division OF OPM and for
merly an engineer for General
Motors in England.
By contrast. he told how an
English company which he de-
scribed "as half the size of Stu
debaker" had produced the So
called Churchill ALTON tank-a
larger weapon than the M-3 tank
of approximately 20 tons now
being produced at the Chrysler
arsenal
"They 'master-mInded' the
output" Taub said of the Brit
ish company, 'parceling out
various parts OF the job to l2
subcOntractors, any one OF
which was several times larger
than the management company.
The method was successful.
NOT WAY TO Do IT
81 should say that In produc-
Ing tanks, the building of a tank
arsenal. putting into ID every
thing needed TO build a tank, IL
probably not the way to do IT,"
The witness blamed the army
for not placing war orders fast
enough with the Michigan motor
industry. saying failure TO give
them contrasts in sufficient VOL
ume 10 keep the motor plants
busy is responsible for the fact
that they are not now producing
or prepared TO produce war weap-
ons TO their full capacity.
"Ford could be building small
vessels" Taub said, "as he built
the eagle boats during the
World War.

PILOTS WINNING OVER WOLVES

Babe Ellsworth, of Naknek Air ways, has a total of 19 wolves and 6 Coyotes to his CT dit, prov ing that airplane hunting is an effectiV- means of outWitting willy predators. John Willotka, of Bris tol Bay Airways, another success ful flying hunter, has reported the shooting of wolves and coyotes.
 This information has been for warded to the Reindeer Service by Alfred J. Upland, Unit Man ager ir the Southwestern Dis trict, which includes the Dilling ham and Naknek areas on Bristol Bay. Mir, Upland also reports that II wolves, IA coyotes, 3 lynx, and 4 wolverine have ben re- ported as killed by others than aviatorS.
 Success of hunters in killing these predators is encouraging to reindeer owners and to all who benefit by the privilege of buying reindeer meat and hides. The fatal effects of wolves on reindeer herds is known from Barrow to Bristol Bay. A rein deer has no effective defense ag- ainSt a wolf; and trappers and rifie-hunters on the ground find odds in the wolf'S favor. But the airplane hunter can keep the wolf in sight and outSpeed him. Of the 35 wolves reported killed in the Southwestern District, more than two-thirds were shot from planes.
 Formerly the aviator had lit tie chance of reward, other than public gratitude, as bounty could be claimed only on evidence of the wolf hide. For obvious req sons, the hunter could not all ways stop to pick up his game. Legislation proposed by the Rein deer Service brought attention to the facts that fiiers werz hunt ing by an expensive method, and by the most successful method, yet had little material encourage ment. Accordingly, the recent Legislature passed law making it possible for bounty to be col lected on a pilots certifcation that wolf has been killed from his plane. Reindeer Service re- ports from the whole length of western Alaska indicate there are ample wolves remaining for all flying hunters to test their skill really begin.
