Bias, Prejudice

DETROIT, Jan. 26 - R) -
An audience of industrialists
business men and labor leaders
heard a plea from CIO presi-
dent Philip Murray yesterday
that there be halt to "bias and
prejudice" between labor and
management.
Murray, addressing more than
! 1000 guests at a luncheon meet
ing Of the Economic Club, said
the two groups must cease tug
ging and hauling" for the sake
OF early victory in the war.
Let us agree" Murray said,

that he stopped over the body of
a dying American soldier and

how many cans of fruits or veg
etables Excluding home-can-
ned) the family owns. 1t will not
be necessary to list each can sep
arately-just the total.
When he shows his No. I
books, a clerk will pencil an
TX" across stamp No. 10 in each
book as sort of receipt for
book No. 2 which will then be
handed out, one for each men,
Der of the family. The family
will retain the No. l books, too.
Before handing out No. 2
books, however. the clerk will
tear out coupons in accordance
with the penalty. Here's an ex-
ample:
Suppose the limit is 10 cans
per person. The limit for a fam
lily of four would be 40 cans.
Suppose the family actually had
As cans. Then ii would be pen
allied for the difference, or five
cans.
EXCESS CANS
One 8-point stamp will be
torn out for each of the five ex-
cess cans. There are "a such g.
point stamps in each book, and
it won't make any difference
whether the stamps are all TAX
en- out of one book. This SAM
pie family will have four books,
so the clerk might take one g.
point stamp from each of three
books, and two stamps from the
fourth book.
If the family doesn't have
enough 8-point stamps to cover
the penalty. the clerk will make
a note of the fact on the covers
of the books, and the rest of the
penalty will apply to any future
ration books issued.
Since the 8-point stamps will
represent half OF the point val
ues" in the book, the maximum
penalty will be half of a fam
ily's ration of canned goods.

their search for the slayer of a
pretty navy bride whose throat
was slashed last Saturday In

ing across Oregon.
The cook, Robert Folkes, II,
was booked on suspicion of
murder after he told police he
consumed 16 drinks at a party
aboard the train early Saturday
and that he walked twice
through the car in which Mrs.
Martha Virginia James, Fl. wife
of a naval ensign, was slain.
Folkes insisted he knew moth
ing Of Mrs. James death and
said he had seen nothing hap
pen when he walked through
the dimly-lit sleeping car.
He was one of the train crew
members who were questioned
here after the Southern Pacific
train completed its run between
Portland, Ore, and Los An

Frank Dixon
Resigns Post
Shores School
Superintendent Quits

Frank A. Dixon, superintend-
ent of Lake Shore School Dis
trict No. 2 for the last II years
and a member of the Lake Shore
High school faculty for 10 years,
has resigned his position at st.
Clair Shores, he announced to-
day.
In his letter of resignation to
the Board of Education, Dixon
asked that his resignation be eff
fective as Of June 80, 1943.
Dixon was the central figure
in a school controversy last
spring when an attempt was
made to have him ousted as
school superintendent. At the
time it was alleged that he sub
mitted an erroneous report to
the Student Aid Foundation of
Michigan on behalf of his daugh-
ter, then a student at Lake Shore
High, so that the girl might quail
ify for a scholarship offered by
the foundation.
Dixon openly supported two
candidates in a school board
election last spring and both
candidates were successful. Fol-
lowing the election Dixon's con-
tract as superintendent was re-
newed.
Dixon told the Monitor-Lead-
er today that a certain faction
is still causing trouble at the
school, and rather than impair
the schools standing with stand
ards demanded by the University
of Michigan and other colleges,
believe it is TO the schools
best interest that resign"
Members of the Board Of
Education could not be reached
for comment on Dixon's resig-
nation.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20 - Up
A stoppage of New York City's
vast dress INDUSTRY was expect
Cd to begin today as a result of
the breakdown Of negotiations
for q wage readjustment be-
tween the Dress Makers Union.
an affiliate OF the International
Ladies' Garment Workers Union
and five employer associations
representing manufactu r S,
iobbers and contractors.
David Dupinsky, president of
the I.L.G.W.U., and julius Hoch-
man, general manager of the
Dress Makers Union. said at the
termination of negotiations yes
terday that workers in 1000
shops would quit their Jobs until
the employers agreed to submit
the controversy to arbitration.
They said the stoppage would be
spontaneous"
It would affect $4,000 work
ers and be the first general dress
stoppage here since 1888.
In q statement the employers
explained their position as fol-
lows: Price ceilings in the in
dustry are so low that the en-
ployers cannot increase wages
without cutting into capital. The
employers asked the union to
cooperate in getting price CELL
inRs raised, but this the union
refused to do.
Union officials contended,
however, that the matter OF
price ceilings was entirely a
concern of employers and the
government maintain d that
The employers were using it
merely as a device to forestall
wage increases. They offered to
leave the amount of the increase
to arbitration.
Dubinsky said the union
sought Ito equalize wages in the
industry to meet the increased
cost Of living"

Stain
Continued from Page One

Gus military authorities already
are expressing belief that the
German High command may
have chosen the Dnleper for its
next attempt TO stand against the
resurgent Red Army.
Berlin's announcement of yes
terday that Voronezh has been
evacuated supports this specula-
ton. The fact that the Germans
announced this before the Rus
slams did strengthens the Berlin
claim that it was according to
plan" 1t suggests also that the
High Command is preparing the
German people for wholesale
abandonment of territory con-
quered at bitter cost. DNB'i
comment that it is the prelude to
establishment of a new defense
line probably can be taken at
face value.
Withdrawal 10 the Dnieper
would mean retirement OF
from $50 to 400 miles from the
present front, a tremendously
dangerous operation against
foe able and eager to maintain
unrelenting pressure, as the Red
Army patiently is. 1t would take
the Germans back-te- the line
achieved in the first two months
of their lightning war of l94l
and mean that the millions Of
men and the vast treasure in
weapons expended in the last II
months have been lost in vain.
And there is no assurance that
the line of the Dnieper, which
cuts the Ukraine and White Rus
STA in halves, could be held
against the reserves of power
which Stain may be able to
throw against it.
However, there are signs that
the character of German STRAIT
egg and military leadership may
be changing. The evacuation of
Voronezh, the hinge on which
the whole campaign in South
Russia has swung since last sum-
mer, hints at bold readiness to
grasp the full significance of the
defeats already suffered or i'm
pending and move drastically to
cut the losses. 1t suggests that
there may be no more of the
type of command that refused to
read the danger signs on the
Volga and condemned nearly a
quarter million men to destruc-
ton in the vain effort to main
tain just a fingerhold on Stain
grad.
The outside world has come to
associate the latter type of COM
mand with Adolf Hitler and his
intuition, a mixture of megalo-
mania, blind pride and hysteria.
The retreat from the Don may
mean that Germany's soldiers
again are in position to make the
big decisions and that the line of
the Dnieper may be harder to
crack than the line Of the Don.
