Times stan Correspondents

WASHINGTON. Feb. 12.--Auto-
mobile workers will buy more de-
Tense bonds on a voluntary basis
than If required to accept them in
payment Of wage increases. in the
opinion Of President r. j. Thomas
of the UAW-CIO. here with a
group Of JAW officers to discuss
the wage problem and swing shifts
with the war labor board and
other government officials.
Thomas was asked specifically
for his comment on a proposal bS
OPA Administrator Leon Hender'
son that wage advances 10 en-
ployes Of automobile plants now
being converted 10 about war pro
duction be paid in bonds and de
Tense savings stamps TO forestal
infationary effects of broadeneC
spending.
POINTS TO RECORD
81 didn't know Leon Hender-
son had made such q proposal"
Thomas said. But I'd like TO
say this: No other group OF
workers In the United States
has a better record In buying
defense bonds and stamps than
the automobile workers. The
treasury department will sup
port this statement.
"In my opinion the govern
ment will be able to get far
bigger distribution OF such bonds
and stamps among our men by
allowing them to subscribe vol
unfairly than II they are re-
quired to buy them.
LEAVE IT TO THEM
eff they will leave II to the
initiative OF the men themselves,
more bonds will be taken and
there will be better reaction
toward the war program gen
orally than IL money for bonds
and stamps is taken out of their
wages"
Thomas was accompanied b
Walter Reuther Richard Franker

members of the UAW-CIO defenS
committee.
