Campbell Urges
Road Built 10
End Bott|ene(k
Canadian Minister Home;
BIemes Ban on U. S. Trucks
to Narrow Highways

An international. limited-access
highway from Detroit to Buffalo.
to end the bottleneck in the ship
ment of Detroit munitions to east
ern ports, was suggested today by
Harvey ]. Campbell, secretary OF
the Detroit Board of Commerce.
Campbell made his proposal as
the follow-up of assertions that
C. D. Howe. Canadian minister OF
munitions, Is the "bottleneck
which prevents truck shipment OF
United States goods. under bond.
over Canadian highways, at a vast
saving of time and money.
Howe took the floor in the
Canadian House Of Commons to
insist he is not a "bottleneck" and
10 assert that Canadian roads are
too narrow to carry American
trucks.
NO U-E DEBATING
Campbell replied:
There's no use In debating
whether Howe II . bottleneck
or not. IL he isn't, as minister
of munitions he should still b.
interested In getting guns
across the ocean for his war.
"We've got two international
bridges. but they don't 60 any
place. With his cooperation and
with the aid OF American money
a highway could be built either
from Detroit or Port Huron
which would carry our truck
traffic.
'Tf Howe and tho Canadian
politicians would abrogate their
deal with tho railroad brother
hoods, which seems TO mako
them think that only railroads
can carry freight, and Jump into
this we could save - hours In
addition to gasoline, rubber and
manpower by arranging . truck
route across Canada.
WAR MUST BE WON
This Is a war and eventually
IL must be won In one day-tho
last day."
Howe told the House OF Com
mons that refusal to allow trucks
to cross Canada in bond was not
the concern of his present depart
ment or his former office. minis
ter of transport. He said that
petitions signed by almost every
village along the route" had been
received protesting the proposal

He and Ernest LaBrecque, super
intendent of the firm for which he
works, will take the bomb to the

said.

"But we really are not opposed
to justiflable wars. The Japa-
nese have attacked and killed
our people, they have been
cruel and ruthless with our
missionaries in the Far East,
and we are justified In making
war on them"
Brown and LaBrecque have
tested the bomb once. 1t was
dropped from a tree and the effec-
tiveness of the slugs was marked
on cardboards set up around a
50-yard radius.
almost every cardboard had
a slug through It," the inventor
said. "Well, just figure IL out.
There are 81 sIugs from each
bomb flying through the air"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16-(R
The long buried wet or dry"
issue was revived in Congress
today-22 years to the day after
the birth of national prohibition
and nine years after its death
with Senate consideration of Q
proposal to halt the sale Of beer
and wine at Army or Navy posts.
Senator O'Daniel (D-Tex.)
sought to bring before the cham
Der q bill introduced originally
by his predecessor. the late Sena-
tor Morris Sheppard, often call
ed THE Father Of Prohibition"
Sheppard annually addressed
the Senate on each post-repeal
anniversary of the ratification of
the national prohibition amend
ment, predicting the eventual re-
turn of the nation to q dry"
status. O'Daniel, following in
Sheppard's footsteps, told re-
porters he hoped to force q vote
today on his predecessors pro-
posal.
The Sheppard Bill would ban
the sales of liquor. including
beer and wines, at all military
establishments and would give
the War and Navy deartments
supervision over such sales in adj
jacent areas. In addition, il
would provide for the suppress
sion of vice in the areas around
military camps.
SERVICE, OPPOSITION
Army and Navy opposition to
the measure in its present Sorm,
however, was exepcted to bring
an administration move to re-
turn the bill to the military af-
fairs committee for revision. The
committee reported Il without
recommendation on May Is, q

In q letter to the committee,
Secretary Stimson said the War
department fully realized that it
would be highly desirable from

Acute Labor
Shortage is
Predicted

LANSING, Jan. 16-(R-An
acute" labor shortage in Michi-
gan in 1943-Which will require
large scale employment of wo-
men and older men-was fore
cast here yesterday at q confer
ence of directors of vocational
education in SO cities.
Edward Cushman, of the Fed
eral Employment Service, as
serted classes to train women for
jobs in factories would start
within a few days in Wayne, De-
troit and Lansing. The latter city
will train 800 women at one
time, he said. Cushman attribu-
ted the expected STORAGE OF
workers to the demands of the
munitions industries and the
armed services.
Meanwhile, it was said, Mich
igan must intensity its program
and use every available shop to
train a portion of some 400, 900
workers expected in some circles
to be unemployed during transit
ton from peace-time to war pro-
duction.
The directors were told to
train at least twice IS many per-
sons as now are being trained. In
November, George H. Fern, d.
rector of the state board of vo-
cational education reported, 65,-
600 men were trained.
L. S. Hawkins, Washington,
national director of vocational
training for defense work under
the federal department of educa-
ton declared current courses re-
quiring 10 to IL weeks must be
reduced, possibly to four or five
weeks.
