The Germans were hur-
hiedly abandoning their entire
50-mile Volturno River line
and falling back from their
northward bending eastern
flank in a general withdrawal
closer to Rome.
Their retirement--so precipitate
at some points that Allied troops
came upon freshly opened tins Of
German food-was covered by
rearguard attachments counter
attacking fiercely.
Nazi planes appearing in
strength over the front for the
first time in weeks also sought to
protect the withdrawal while the

tensive minefields in the path of
the advancing Allied Fifth and
Eighth armies.

become a rout.

Packard Forenen
Threaten Strike
Complete Shutdown Likely
in Sunday Pay Dispute

Interruption of vital war pro-
duction at the Packard Motor Co.
plant was threatened Saturday
night by the Foremen's Associa-
ton of America, whose president
stated that beginning Sunday the
foremen would refuse to work
Sundays unless paid double time.
First of the scheduled one-day
strikes was scheduled to begin at
midnight and continue a full "a
hours.
If the demands of the 700 fore
men are not met the strike will
be repeated on successive Sum
days.
EXPECT SHUTDOWN
Speaking for the foremen. Rob-
ert II. Keys. president of the
Foremen's Association OF Amer
lea. said the refusal to work would
probably force the entire plant to
close.
I'VE told the company we
would not work any Sunday I'M
less we were paid double time,
the same as other workmen
are" Keys stated in explaining
the proposed blow to war pro-
duction.
with the present pay scale
foremen receive less than the
men they supervise" he COM
planned.
WILL REPORT MONDAY
Attempts TO operate the huge
Packard plant without foremen
will be unsuccessful, Keys pre-
dicted.
THE Army Air Forces are
pretty strict about having work
properly supervised and I don't
believe they would permit the
company to operate without
supervision" he said.
Keys, president of the independ-
ent unionssa the foremen would
report for work as usual on
Monday.
George T. Christopher. presi-
dent Of the Packard Co. said
The company's policy has al
ways been 10 pay foremen time
and-a-half for all overtime, SUM-
days and holidays, and I see no
reason to change IL now"
