further unauthorized price increases
for their products.
Henderson said he was concern

IF such price increases continue
in this and other industries, the
inevitable result will be initiation

your industry, but throughout the

He asked the cooperation of the
furniture manufacturers for i'm

War Dept. Seeks to Extend
SeIectees' Training Time

WASHINGTON. June "a up.
The war department expected to-
day, TO ask congress shortly for legis-
lation authorizing reten::on of some
selectass beyond their one year
training period and expansion OF
the army By another 100000 TO a
total of nearly 100000 men.
The proposals were revealed by
Gen. George c. Marshall. chief Of
staff, in a press conference. Pre-
yiously. the war department had
recommended TO President Roosevelt
that the national guard units under
mobilization be retained in federal
service.
Congress would have to authorize
by law any extension of service by
either the selectees or national guard
beyond the yeau previously ap-
proved.
Marshall said that il would be
necessary to hold some selectees,
probably a limited number on duty
because some of them might be
stationed in Alaska or other remote
places, or might be needed in spec
ialized key units.
Marshall said that the army in
crease would run slightly" more
than 100000 men, who are needed
to fill gaps created by assignment
of men to the Atlantic bases LEASED
from Great Britain and by pro-
jected formation of more anti1tank
units.

A major obstacle to settlement of
the San Francisco shipyard dispute
dissolved today while the navy was
planning government move to
crack the machinists' strike.
The B t h lie h m Shipbuilding
company accepted the national de-
fense mediation boards proposal to
sign the Pacific Caost master la
Dor agreement with a closed shop
provision. Bethlehem was the only
major shipyard operator on the
west coast to reject the coastWide
pact.
While the company's action did
not insure settlement of the ma
chinists' strike which has crippled
II shipyards since May 10, the out
look for peace appeared brighter
Harry Hook, business agent for
AFL machinists' said Bethlehem's
offer puts a new light on the
situation and promised to submit
the proposed contract to a member
ship vote, probably tomorrow night.
The Bethlehem announcement
came shortly after representatives
of the 1,300 striking AFL and CIO
machlnists rejected a navy plan
to end the strike. The navy an
nounced civil service examinations
would be held for applicants to fill
the strikers jobs.
AT Detroit, the United Automo.
