It's time to start planning ways and
means for attaining the usual open
house Christmas spirit in spite OF war
time quotas. Sugar and coffee ration
ing are the major problems, for some
thing sweet and a cup that cheers are
an important part Of the holiday ira
dition.
Low-sugar sweets are solution to
the first problem. and coffee brew
made with hot milk and chocolate that
stretches one cup of coffee into enough
for four to six servings is happy an
swer to the second difficulty. It's a
good idea to use decaffeinated coffee
so that everyone can enjoy his share
of the holiday punch without worries.
To make the most OF your precious
brew, be sure that the decaffeinated
coffee. if made by the percolator meth
DDS. gets little longer brewing time
to bring out its full, rich flavor. You
can make a whole flock of gingerbread

Detroit WLB Office
Still Doubtful Project
Youthful Aide Goes
To Washington With
Report on It's Need

The question OF whether Detroit
is to get its own autonomous War
Labor Board office remained I'M
answered today as WLB Regional
Director Lewis NJ. Gill made his
way back 10 Washington to re-
port his finding here TO WLB
chiefs.
Following two days of confer
ences with labor and management,
Gill said he had formed his own
opinions but that the question was
far too important for him 10
attempt an answer.
This is an important ques-
tiOn," Gill said. "and will have
to be answered by the board
itself. have formed some
opinions but have purposely
refrained from giving them until
1 have reported 10 the board.
FAvORS LOCAL PANELS
zone step which I have taken,
however, Is TO wire Washington
suggesting the immediate ap-
pOintment OF local panels to hear
and pass on disputes between
Detroit labor and management.
Washington advises me that
panels have already been APP
pointed to hear two Detroit
cases"
The purpose of ellis Detroit
visit was TO investigate charges
that lack of a WLB office here
had contributed TO Detroit's grow
ing amount of work stoppages in
war plants.
An exclusive story in Tuesdays
Times showed that all labor ques-
tions here must be cleared through
the Cleveland office of the wages
and hours division of the depart
ment of labor. The resulting delay
and red tape have contributed
greatly TO labor unrest and strikes
MEETS WITH INDUSTRY
Gill, who had previously me,
with Go and AF'L heads, met yes
terday with representatives of De.
troit industry. Following the con.
ference, Gill said that industry was
equally as anxious as labor TO have
a WLB regional office established
here.
"They do not want the Cleye-
land office moved here" Gill
said. They want the territory
split and Detroit made a sep
arate region"
