Auto Travel Shows
Great Decline, Even
in Nonrationed Areas
BY SILER FREEMAN

Auto travel along the ma
tons highways. both business
and recreational, has shown
great decline, according TO sta
tistics gathered by the Ameri-
can Automobile Association.
Despite all the reports coming
out of Washington aimed at the
nonrationed states like Mich
igan, reductions outside of the
rationed zones show voluntary
limitations on the use of cars.
The midseason travel report
issued by the AAA shows that
in June recreational travel was
off So per cent and general
highway traffic down more than
80 per cent. In the rationed
areas this was 20 per cent and
so per cent. respectively.

WHILE ON the subject OF Con-

a few months back when that firm
was publicized as the first 10 have
its contracts renegotiated by the
government.
Some $40, 900, 900 were pared off
the prices.
II was an embarrassing position

cal excuses or denominations from
Jack Reese. He pointed out at the
time that Continental considered II
an honor 10 be the first 10 have
the opportunity TO kick back
money 10 the government because
Of efficient performance Of It's job.
New light on how and why Con-
tinental was in a position 10 do
this was offered by Colonel
Quinton.
Prices were renegotiated be-
cause Continental started building
tank engines back six months be-
fore Pearl Harbor. Contracts were
based on a comparatively small
number Of engines.
Today four days production ex-
ceeds the number of engines origi-
nally set for a months quota.
And Colonel Quinton. the man
who yesterday presented the f

SAD IS the story Of an unnamed
Detroit patriot who joined the

He was right hand man 10 the
president of a Detroit firm and
literally ran the plant.
One day he told the boss he was
going TO apply for a commission in
the navy and that the boss had
better make arrangements for a
replacement. The boss smiled in
diligently and did nothing.
Some weeks later the fellow
walked in. respondent in a naval
heutenant's uniform.
In high dudgeon the boss rushed
down TO Washington and begged
the navy 10 help him out Of his
predicament. There was no one TO
run the plant and army and navy
work would be held up indefinitely.
In fact. the plant was going 10 pot
night at that moment.
The problem was solved by as
signing the young lieutenant 10

War Plants Hit
By Shortages
Basic Materials and
Labor Lacking; Others
See CurtaiIment Near

NEW YORK. Aug. IS (UP)-
One-third Of the war plant eXecu.
tiycS questioned by the national
industrial conference board re-
ported that they had had 10 elimi-
nate shifts or reduce working
hours in recent weeks because of
shortages of basic materials and
labor.
Sixty per cent, tho board an
nounced reported they were handi-
capped by "a shortage or erratic
finW of raw materials" A shortage
Of labor handicapped 25 per cent.
MANY OF those reporting no
curtailment foresee the necessity
Of such action II present condi-
lions continue, the board said.
Examples of sustained in
crease in war production are also
cited, particularly where the
shift To war production Is under
way. Differences i'm experience
are partly explained by the eX-
tent Ia which total production Is
covered by top priority ratings"
BLAME DISTRIBUTION
Some executives blamed their
troubles on faulty distribution or
delays in allocating present sup
plies. Others felt that there were
too many top priority ratings, par
ticularly of steel.
Still others criticized the War
Production Boards production re-
quirement plan. They said 1t took
too much time 10 get essential
materials allocated.
Generally, the principal labor
shortage was of skilled workers.
"A number Of executives OBJ
serve that many Of the new
workers are OF the 'fioater' type
and are less dependable and
efficient" the board reported.
while demands for increased
wages are common, labor's dis
satisfaction with wage scales Is
not given as major factor In
reduced output"

FROM CHICAGO

The delegation came 10 Wash
ington after a meeting of livestock
producer groups in Chicago, at
which it was decided TO oppose the
price ceiling proposal advanced by
Price Administrators Leon Hender-
son and tentatively supported by
Wickard.
Boice said the delegation would
urge "a prompt adjustment OF in
equalities in the present finished
meat ceilings in order 10 place all
professors, distributors and retail
ers on a non-discriminatory basis. "
The delegation planned TO urge
a further temporary reduction in
purchases of meat for lend-lease

Rdiisers Fight
Ceiling Move
Say Roof on Prices
Would Only Aseravate
Present Meat Shortage

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25 (UP).
"A delegation of 10 livestock pro-
ducers today carried their fight
against ceiling prices on live ami
mails to Secretary of Agriculture
Claude r, Wickard, who has an
nounced he would support any
workable" livestock price control
The group, headed by Frank
Boice Of Sonita, Ariz., president OF
the American Livestock Associa-
ton, claimed TO represent ma
jority of Western and Midwestern
cattle, hog and sheep raisers.
Boice said the imposition of cell
ing prices on live animals would
aggravate the present meat short
age situation and would hasten
the rationing Of meat to consum-
ers" by causing a reduction in
future meat production.

Approximately l25 colored en-
ployes Of the powerful Miner hotel

week All of the employees arc
covered by the contract, and those
who arc not as yet union members
will join very shortly and share the
same benefits as a thousand other
coiored members OF Local 705.
The controversy first broke out
sbou; four years ago when the
colored employees Of the Miner
owned Reid hotel on Charlotte
street near Woodward walked out
and came to the Offices Of Local 7O5
and applied for membership. Al
though this local had few colored
members at that time, these people
were welcomed with open arms.
Then.followed long, d-awn-ort

IN a common cause The white
me,n5eTs OF ms Union were de.
iermined that the colored members
we're gong 10 get q square deal.
1t was not until last week that
an opportunity appeared to settle
this old score. The union acted
quickly and resoluiely. Picket lines
were thrown around all eleven Of
the Miner chain, including the Ed
son, Taft Reid, Ohio. Carlton.
