DETROIT, March 81. (UP)-Fed-
eral Labor Conciliator James F.
Dewey said today that concessions
by the Ford Motor Company, in
GLIDING reinstatement of about 1000
men allegedly discharged for union
activity, have alleyiated threats of
a strike by the United Automobile
Workers CCIO)
Dewey said there were four major
developments toward averting the
threatened strike which, of success
full, would have involved approx
mately 100000 EMPLOYEES and S154.-
100000 worth of defense contracts
and been the first strike in history
against the Ford Motor Company's
Detroit plants.
Those developments, he said:
were:
Reinstatement of most of 1000
workers whom the Union charged
were dismissed for union activity
during the last seven months.
Agreement of Harry Bennett. Ford
personnel director, TO discuss with
Dewey any problem that warrants
DeWey's attention.
Company assurances that it does
not contemplate further layoffs.
Scheduling of a hearing by the
National Labor Relations Board to
determine whether a collective bar

The calendar was light today be-
cause members were leaving early
for the customary weekend recess
National defense was the major top
ic. with the senate military and
veterans affairs committee hearing
arguments on The bill by Sen. Irwin
Quinn Of Eureka TO set up a state
defense council 10 replace the pres
ent unofficial group named by Gov.
Culbert Olson.
Another bill before he committee
was by Ed Fletcher. of San Diego,
to extend benefits of the sailors
relief act to workers on national
defense projects.
The assembly voted unanimously
and sent to the senate an emer-
gency relief appropriation OF 81
042 900, despite Gov. Culbert o.
sons recommendation the sum be
boosted to S4,6l7000 Vincent Thom-
as. of san Pedro, sought TO amenc
the bill to the higher figure but
Mrs. jeanette Daley, the author,
opposed the move on grounds the
governor had mentioned a surplus
of SllOo.O0O. She predicted there
would be an actual labor shortage
by the first of August.
F. Ray Bennett differed with Mrs.
Daley on grounds only the unskilled
workers remained on The relief rolls
and no major drop could be eX-
pected.
The amendment Was voted down,
10 to 81. after John Evans, Los
Angeles. urged passage OF the lower
figure and later legislative action
if an emergency resulted.
The assembly also voted down, y
to 81. an amendment by Paul Richie,
San Diego, to employ relief clients
on works projects al prevailing
rates of pay during their time OF
work.
The senate defeated a proposed
constitutional amendment by Cor
don, Heating, Collier, Quinn, Metz
ger and Mixter which would have
deprived the people OF the right tc
initiate legislation by petition to
the legislature, such as was done
bv the building and loan initiative
during the first half OF the blur
Gated session. The vote was l3 tc
%.
Actually, the proposal would have
repealed that section OF the con-
stitution providing that a petition
signed by five percent OF the quail
fled electors voting for governor Al
last general election may oe consio-
cred by the legislature.

asked for the amendments to pre-

The bill would require such groups

Lindbergh Ayers
j. 5. Too Late TO
Hope for Victory

NEW YORK. March 2l. CUP) -
CHARLES A. Lindbergh said today the
United States is rearming toe
late for a war which. if we enter
1t now, can end only in defeat and
humiliation"
He called on opponents of war &c
flood Congress with demands for
peace. demands for a statement Of
our war aims" and demands for
our plan of defense and attack" III
terms of soldiers and years of
war"
In "A Letter to Americans" pub
lished by Golfers Magazine. the
famous flier declared any departure
from the country's post-world war
isolationism would result "in nation
al disaster
He asserted France and Great
Britain by their failures in time of
peace brought the curse of war on
Europe" and defeat to France and
devastation to England"
France waited until it was too
late" Lindbergh said England
waited until it was too late. We IN
America have waited until it is too
late: and yet we step closer and
closer to the war. as though hypno-
tized by its bombing and its fury
Like France and England in 1899
we are unprepared today . I
believe it is not any longer a ques-
ton of what we wish to do in this
war. but rather one of what we can
do. I believe that for us enter
the conflict at this time would re-
suit in defeat and humiliation.
Despite that danger. he added,
"Interventionists and foreign inter
ests" are pushing US toward war
with increasing rapidity and
by every conceivable subterfuge.'
And although no nation has at
tempted to attack us, Lindbergh
said. We already have one foot in
the war"

A RE you one of that hot-weather
: army that draggle into the office
after a scorching night, puffy of
eye and haggard from lack Of
sleep? Nothing is worse than the
weary feeling that another hot day
is coming up. Work must be gotten
out-or household must be run
and your energy reserve is sapped
because of lack of sleep.
There are numerous steps you
can take to get yourself that price
less restorative sleep in hot wealth
er. Here are few:
Rest on cool, clean sheets-the
under one stretched tightly.
Wear absorbent cotton pajamas
or gown.
Don't go to bed hungry-noth-
ing will keep you awake more
surely. A cracker or a glass
of milk will allay hunger con-
fractions without raising body
temperature or overtaxing your
digestion.
Keep a bottle Of good quality
witch hazel in the ice-box; pat
it freely all over your body. Do
not dry it off, for it reduces
your body temperature. You'll
be surprised at how cooling
this fine, old family standby is,
and has so many uses, particu-
larly in Summer!
Smyrna times., 1941-07-24

Lie out as straight as is COM
Portable. preferably on your
back, though any other natural,
untortured position will invite
sleep.
Lie still d. but, without holding
yourself rigid. Squirming and toss
ing burn energy, make you hot and
rumple the bedclothes into the bar
gain, making you hotter. Soak pads
of cotton in a good quality witch
hazel, lay them on your eyes to
shut out all errant rays of light,
cool your eyes and your head.
After twenty minutes, II you're
still awake, try this physical relax
er. Flat on your back, with your
arms at your sides, concentrate on
one part of your anatomy at a
time. Tense the muscles, tight,
thinking consciously of how 1t feels,
then relax doll-like.
If you don't relax into sleep after
that, don't torture yourself. Get up,
get a drink of cold, not iced water,
read a little until you get sleepy,
then stroll back, put fresh cool
witch hazel pads on your eyes
and go off to sleep. NEVER, NEVER
say grimly, 81 must get my sleep
tomorrow's a busy day." Anxiety
raises your temperature, tightens
you up, puts sleep OF even farther.
