Plants Can't Lend Help
to Others in Detroit,
NINA Secretary insists

The proposal 10 establish a De-
troit labor pool so that persons
working less than the required as

buster plants was assailed today
by John l.. Lovett, secretary-man.
ager OF the Michigan Manufacture.
.ers Association.
Lovett described the plan a.
"one Of those things" that develops
by anticipating situations.
I'VE do not yet have a short
age of labor In Detroit, obviat-
ing any need Of such a plan at
this time. None of the troubles
we have anticipated has de-
vei0ped, he said
Under the plan, put forward by
Col. George i. Strong. dist ici
plant protection chief of the army
air forces, plants unable 10 meet
the 48-hour order would put their
surplus labor in the pool for loar
In other plants. When they were
able TO utilize their workers they
could withdraw them from the
pool.
Strong said that plants working
Ienployes 40 hours or less could
cut their STATS and turn the sur.
plus over 10 the pool or send their
entire force TO the pool for ar
extra day Of work.
THAT plan certainly will not
work I'm our production plans"
Lovett said. "Our form of pro-
duction requires that every sta
ton In the assembly line he
manned. We can't cut down the
number of men and extend the
number of hours.
The idea Of sending men
from an airplane factory 90
tank factory II equally useless.
They could not learn job we'll
enough In one day to he Of any
use 10 the plant employing
them for the day.
"One of the best ways Ia
solve the puzzle would be for
the armed services TO let us
know In advance when we have
TO cut production, when he have
10 slack Oft for change in de-
sign, and when we are expected
TO hit peak production.
They are frank To admit they
are unable 10 do that. When
weakness II discovered in

TO eliminate that weakness.

Approved by WPB Aide

Maury Maverick, former Texas
congressman who is now director
of the governmental division OF
the War Production Board. an
nounced today in Detroit that the
city would get material priorities
for construction of more than Sl3,-
100000 worth of public works il
the WIPE approves his recommen-
dations.
Maverick and Byron N. Scott,
his personal assistant, came TO
Detroit to determine whether the
projects are essential to the war
effort.
CALLED ESSENTIAL
I'VE think they are. MAYER
lex said. Detroit needs a $780,
900 salvage plant, a $4,000, 600
limited-access highway to re-
lieve congestion at the Willow
Run bomber plant and a $780,
900 limited-access highway con-
Meeting the Chrysler plant with
Nine-Mile road"
William M. Walker Jr., head OF
the department of public works,
said he had sought approval of the
salvage plant for two years.
$4,000 TONS SCRAP
Walker estimates that thu
plant, which would be located at
Orleans and Erskine streets,
would convert 10000 tons of vital
scrap material yearly to the war
effort and make an estimated
yearly saving of $500, 900 to De-
ttfeit taxpayers.
THE proposed Willow Run
highway Is needed because even
now the roads to the bomber
plant are crowded and incapable
of handling the flow OF traffic."
