Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-11-08

The latest protest over gasoline
lrationing in Detroit was sent
Saturday in the form of a tele-
gram to President Roosevelt and
staff from the Detroit Council OF
Churches.
Pointing out the tragic effects
that rationing would have on
Iall churches, the Rev. T. T.
Brumbaugh, executive secretary Of
the council. asked the President
whether the present plan could
not in some way be arrested, d.
verified or changed"
In a continued exchange of tele-
grams, the Office of Price Admin
istration, Washington, wired Ray
mond II. Berry. president of the
Detroit Board of Commerce. that
Eastern experience has shown
that the war effort was not in
lterrupted by gasoline rationing.
Berry had asserted that war
plants would suffer here if ration
ing was not delayed at least sc
days.
In answer to the wire Berry re-
asserted that the Eastern situa-
ton was not comparable to the
Detroit area because of our trans
portation system.
THE East has dependable
rapid transportation systems"
Berry declared.

Few Dem Counties

Outside Wayne, Gov. Murray d.
Van Wagner carried only six
counties-and four of those were
in the Upper Peninsula, usually a
Democratic stronghold.
As a matter of fact. except for
the swing 10 William A. Comstock
in 1882, Michigan voters never
have accepted Democratic leader
ship with much enthusiasm. Tradi-
tionally Republican. they always
have displayed a guilty conscience
when turning against the COP.
That is why Comstock was de-
feated in the primary in 1884 and
why governors Murphy and Van
Wagner could last only one term.
Recalling that the state went
for Wendell Willkie two years ago,
III is obvious now that Michigan
will be back in the Republican
fold when a new president is
chosen two years hence.

Michigan Politics:
Vote Indicates
Denis Sun Has
Set in Michigan
TrsditionsIIy Republican,
State Outside OF
Detroit Returns TO COP

After a decade OF political pros
perity, Democratic leaders are
convinced now that their sun has
set in Michigan and that they
probably are headed back TO the
old days of fruitless plodding.
They expect 10 remain in con-
troll Of Wayne County, but outside
the metropolis the state is now as
definitely Republican as in the half
century prior to 1882.
They did not expect the blow
that fell last Tuesday. Looking
back. however. they recognize a
trend among Michigan voters that
is as definite as the upsurge that
ousted the COP 10 years ago.

Where Pleasure Ends

0 So-called pleasure driving is
automatically eliminated by the
controlled speed, for there is no
pleasure in long trips at 35 miles
an hour.
A detailed check on a 10-hour
drive made by the auto club at a
top of 35 miles, per hour aver
age for the 10 hours was 22.3
miles. In 10 hours of unbroken
driving only total of 223 miles
was covered.
That is in sharp contrast TO
an average of AZ to so miles an
hour under driving conditions of
a few months ago.
. Thirty-five miles an hour does
permit the war worker and the
business man TO drive to and
from their jobs, although they
may have to leave home a half
hour earlier in the morning and
get home a half-hour later at
night.
Too, their wives may use the
car evenings to do necessary
marketing and other errands,
impossible if that worker or
business man is held to a limited
supply of gasoline, bearing in
mind all the time that 35-mile
speed will not dissipate rubber.
Suburbanifes' Problem
. Rationing means grave hard
ships for the hundreds Of thou
sands of Michiganders who live
in suburban areas. where they
have bought property on the
assurance of fast highways and
adequate private transportation.
In most of those areas no pub
lie transportation systems are
available. and in most cases
share-the-ride programs have
begged down because OF the
wide distribution of war produc-
ton labor and the wide area
covered by Detroit.
An auto club spokesman cite'
what he described as a typical in
stance of share-the-ride breaking
Town in a suburban community:
"Mr. X, employed In n down.
town Detroit bank, a nOnessen-
tial job but the only job he has
ever held and his only means of
a livelihood, two or three years
ago gave up his downtown apart
ment and bought a home out in

property and the building.
Bear In mind that even the

May Get Two Terms

Kelly is likely 10 be the first
governor to have two consecutive
terms since Fred Green was re-
elected in 1923.
The new governor will take
office January i without a COM
mitment to any politician. He told
the absolute truth during the cam
paign when he said he had not
promised a single job or favor.
So his only obligation now is Ia
the people of Michigan. He is free
to surround himself with men
picked strictly on a basis of quail
| fication and ability.
Kelly wasn't keen about run.
ming for governor. He would have
preferred to stand for the United
States Senate. but members OF
THE Legislature and other part,
headers forced him to enter against
Governor Van Wagner.
No Strings to Him
eff I run for governor, I'll try
this case myself and there will
be no strings handicapping my
administration" he said.
The promise was kept. He
handled his own funds and he
wrote his own speeches. He
planned his own tour and built up
his own organization, accepting or
rejecting ideas as he saw fit.
Kelly leaned more heavily on his
younger brother. Emmett, for ad-
vice than any one else.
"And even I don't expect to
he named to a state post for the
work I've DONE" Emmett said.
81 will 20 back to my law prac-
tice and do what I've always
done. Harry doesn't expect me
to ask for n reward and won't
disappoint him."
It's the same way with the rest.
His loyal contact man, Patrick
Mitchell, resigned from the depart
ment of state weeks ago TO devote
|Ifull time TO the campaign and
expects no state job as compensa-
/ ton.

longtime friendship with the
President developed first into
cool aloofness and now into an
open fight.
Tom Dewey. who fell before the
Willkie forces at the 1890 COP
convention, will undoubtedly be
the Republican candidate. Labor

Mead can defeat him. The Senator

Murray Offers
PIun To Settle

Washington, Aug. 15-Pres. Philip
Murray this week reiterated CLOS
willingness to have the War Labor
Boards four public members arbi-
trate jurisdictional disputes be-
tween CLIO and AFL unions.
1.-The problem is now entirely
with the ALL to consent TO the
proposal made by CLIO for peaceful
disposition of all jurisdictional dis
putes without any stoppages oil
work." Murray wired to Chairman
William II. Davis, of the War Labor
Board.
The CLIO leaders message was the
second within a few days on the
subject of inter-union disputes-a
question that has been brought TO
the public attention by a strike oil

General Motors Frigidaire plant in
Dayton. Ohio.
AFL WALKED OUT
In that case. AFL members
walked out for several days be-
cause a CLIO unionist was doing
some painting work at the plant.
which is under contract with the
CLIO electrical workers union. Davis
had replied to Murray's earlier ar
bitration offer by proposing that
the case be brought before the
WPB Labor Divisions Board of
Review. which is dominated by the
AFL and usually rules in intra-AFL
disputes on war construction jobs.
1--WE cannot agree to any pro-
cedure such as submitting ALL
CLIO jurisdictionai matters to o

pose il to settle jurisdicti0nai
matters affecting only the inter-
ests of ALL international unions"

American industry. Hitherto, the
WLB's direct influence has been
limited to cases certified to it for
mediation or arbitration.
First case in which the wage
agreement was given to the WLB
for ratification was that of the CLIO
electrical union and Westinghouse
Electric & Manufacturing Co. The
board authorized an o. k. for the
So cent hourly increase which the
union and the company had worked
out.
LITTLE STEEL FORMULA
Davis said the board will look
into all settlements worked out by
the Cancellation Service where the
wage sterilization formula worked
out in the Little Steel case might
be affected. Tn that case, the board
said it would authorize increases Of
1870 in hourly wage rates over
those of Jan. l. 1871, to allow for
the higher cost of living.
ut should be made clear that we
have not decided to allow every
body a wage increase of SIC an
hour" Davis added. I'm consulta-
ton with DR.. Steelman. we have
devised a scheme of general appli-
cation. but we are going to make
sure that all increases are within
the formula"
