Hospitals Aid
War Program

One million working days a year
saved for workers in vital war and
other industries is the goal of hos
|pitalization insurance plans. il was
announced last night by Andrew
NJ. Gump, president and managing
director of the Michigan Hospital
Benefit Association.
Gump, speaking at a division
managers meeting at the Fort
Shelby Hotel, stated that the goal
is well within the capacity OF
disqualification plans on the basis
of their present enrolment. The
tremendous saving of workers
time will be accomplished by cut
ting down absenteeism through
provision of prompt and efficient
hospital service to members, a
service which many might other
wise be unable to afford.
The Michigan Hospital Benefit
Association alone has provided
81. 252,2 pa for hospital and surgi-
cal care of II, 169 Michigan fami-
lies since its inception in 1888,
Gump pointed out.
The association has set up q
consistent newspaper advertising
program for this fall and winter,
to keep the people of Detroit and
Michigan informed OF the benefits
of cooperative disqualification and
surgical insurance, he stated.

Gauge Saves Shells

An ounce OF prevention
gauge which nips shell forging
errors in the bud and saves
thousands OF vital man-hours,
has been developed here by
Willys-Overland Motors. In a
special report based on use OF
the gauge in the production OF
over a million 155 nm. shells,
Joseph w. Frazer, president.
announced that the Heu testing
device has virtually eliminated
government turn-down OF fin
ished projectiles and saved
thousands of dollars.
Frazer said that use OF the
new instrument has reduced re-
jections from an original figure
OF approximately 10 per cent to
less than l per cent.
The gauge is three-pronged
instrument which fits into the
cavity OF rough shell forging
and pre-determines rough
mathematics the weight of the
finished shell, he explained. This
enables workers TO nose the pro-
jectile so that the finished pro-
duct will comply with rigid
army specifications. In this
case. he added. shells must be
within one pound over or under
the prescribed weight.

Labor
Costs in Farm
Parity Figures
Senate Precipitates
Battle TO Amend
Authorization Bill
By WILLIAM s. NEAL
International News service stan Writer


WASHINGTON, Sept. %. - A
Senate agriculture subcommittee
today revealed that demands
would be made TO amend the anti
initiation bill requiring inclusion OF
farm labor costs i'm arriving at
parity prices of farm products and
thus precipitated a bitter battle
on the measure.
The proposal. specifically re-
jected by President Roosevelt,
would increase ceiling prices on
agricultural products. Some ex-
perts say it would lift ceilings
higher than the 40 per cent OF
parity which the President seeks
to strike from existing law.
Senator Thomas CD Of Okla
homa, chairman of the Subcommit-
tee, announced that the parity
amendment is backed by major
farm organizations.
CONSENT SEEN
While the full agriculture COM
mittee must approve the proposal
in order to consolidate the farm
bloc" this consent is expected TO
be given.
With.the Senate opening debate
on the Brown anti-inflation bill
today. and leaders in both Senate
and House seeking passage OF
measures this week TO meet the
Presidents October 1 deadline. the
farm bloc" detection threatened
to delay the whole program.
The Senate banking committee
adopted the amendment of Senator
O'Mahoney CD of Wyoming, di-
recting that increased labor costs
be considered by the President
but this failed to satisfy the oppo-
sition.
The farm bloc" amendment
follows:
INCLUDE LABOR
"For purposes of this section.
parity prices for any agricul-
tural commodity shall be deter
mined rs authorized by. existing
law, but shall also include farm
labor"
The amendment. Thomas said,
was backed by heads of the Ma
tional Grange. American Farm
Bureau Federation. the National
Milk Producers Association and
the Council of Farm Co-operatives.
The subcommittee which frames
the amendment is composed of
Thomas. Senator'S Bankhead Cd
Of Alabama. Norris Cd of Ne
braska and McNary (R) OF Oregon.
