Trailer Rent
Issue Flares,
Tenonts Protest
Roise in Rotes

Assistant Prosecutor Herman
L. Brys and Warren Super
visor Earl Tallman today sought
solution to frequent skirmishes
involving Warren Trailer camp
operators and members of the
East Side JAW (CIO) Fair
Rents committee.
Sheriff's deputies were called
to the Oak Grove Trailer Camp
at 25807 Schultes at II pm. last
night where they found that
members of the Fair Rents COM
mittee prevented from enter
ing the camp by a cable strung
across the entrance.
FIND WEAPONS
Inside the camp they found
Ray Miller, the owner, and resi-
dents of the camp not allied
with the union. Deputy Sheriff
Leon Kandt said he and Fred
Simms and Harold Henderson
confiscated a blackjack, a hunt
ing knife and a quantity of rifle
shells.
The same group was involved
in disturbances Sunday night at
Oak Grove and Saturday at the
nearby Hollywood Trailer Camp.
They were making statements
today to Brys.
Four trailer camp owners
headed by Miller laid their
problem before Tallman late
yesterday afternoon. Tallman
advised that they retain a law
yer to negotiate differences and
the owners agreed providing
we can talk to responsible CLIO
officials" They contend the rent
group is not affiliated with the
CIO and has no right to use its
name.
SEEK ~ RATES
Bronson Parrett, chairman of
the rent group, told members
meeting at the Hudson Local 154
JAW (CIO) hall, Nine Mile at
Sherwood, last night that they
should insist on the return to
the 1941 rent level and on i'm
provements to camps.
The camp owners want to
charge present rents until a
definite OPA ruling is obtained
sometime in August, Miller said.
The rent group claims $50
members. A total of 1000 fami-
lies live in the townships 10
trailer camps.

Says Steel
Wasted by
Military

DETROIT, July 21-(R -
Contending that steel was be-
ing used unnecessarily" in con-
struction of military barracks
and warehouses, Walter p. Reu-
Their of the United Automobile
Workers (CIO) asked the war
production board today to d.
vert that steel to arms plants.
The arms plants, Reuther said,
are faced with threat of
creeping paralysis" because of
lack of steel. He mentioned sew
eral plants in Michigan which
he said were being forced to
shutdowns and layoffs through
failure to obtain steel.
Reuther, writing to WPB
Chairman Donald M. Nelson,
said he had been informed by
the WPB's division of research
and statistics that 100000 tons
of steel a year and other criti-
cal materials were being con-
sumed unnecessarily" in mill
tary construction.
Such construction, he said,
could as we'll be carried out
with other materials.
Asking q more properly CO.
ordinated ALLEGATION" of steel,
Reuther proposed an immediate
revision of priorities and mate
rails ALLEGATION and complete
and effective elimination of
steel for non-essential purposes"

Tires for Everyone
.nted in Washington
Capital Exhibit Embraces
Wide New Rationing Method

WASHINGTON, July 21-(R
The rubber industry today
proposes a plan which it said
would provide disable tires for
everybody for at least the next
two years.
This became known in con-
nection with an exhibit prepared
by the industry in Washington
hotel to demonstrate to govern
ment officials and the Press
means of utilizing the industry's
facilities to make as many tires
as possible under war condi-
tons.
The plan, ii was learned from
sources who declined to be quot
ed, would provide for rationing
tires under an entirely new sys-
tenn, but would enable everyone
to get tires provided he took
good care of his rubber.
A feature of the program is
that new tires would be made
out of thiokol, a substance here
tofore believed to be disable on
ly for recapping. Thiokol is a
new substance something like
rubber, for which the War Pro-
duction Board has given a goa
head on production for tire uses.
A key point in the program,
the sources added, would be
some system of severe penalties
for motorists who waste rubber
by excessive speed and long, I'm
necessary trips.
There would be three classes
of rationing, with preference
given to most essential needs,
but with some tires provided
even for pleasure driving.
Further details were not
available Immediately. but the
exhibit which was to be opened
to the Press today was expected

Daba and Fuka, Is and so miles
respectively behind the lines.
The raids were the second and
third in two days.
Other long-range fighters

Churchill Wins Overwhelming
Confidence Vote in Commons

British naval attacks on axis
shipping in the Mediterranean
would become a dangerous drain
and a fostering sore on German
and italian resources"
Churchill freely admitted
cabinet mistakes and lack Of
foresight.
Contrasting Britain's freedom OF
speech with restrictions imposed
in axis-controlled territory,
Churchill said:
Even in great democracy
such as the United States the
chief executive does not stand IN
the same direct and immediate
day-to-day relations with his
legislative body as we do.
THE president In many
vital respects. IL independent
Of the legislature. He Ia com
mander chief Of all forces
Of the republic. He has a
nNe0 TERM of offftf uuf"k
which his authority can
scarcely be impugned.'
He pointed out that all re-
sources OF the United States and
Britain now were pooled in ship
ping munitions and raw materials.
Anxiety Increases
Discussing the invasion posi-
bility. Churchill said:
The presence In our islands of
this force and establishment Of a
broader bridgehesd between US,
the new world constitutes an i'm
portant additional deterrent To in
vasion at time when = sue
cessful invasion Of these islands In
Hitler's last remaining hope for
total victory"
Allied anxiety regarding the far
eastern crisis has increased with
the growing Japanese troop con-
centrations at strategic points,
Churchill admitted, but he said
some of this apprehension was
offset BY the continuous ap-
proach Of the United States even
nearer to the confines Of the
war"
