TMPERILs MORALE


Ste. Maries telegram TO Nelson
charged that the Rouge layoff i'm
perilS labor morale which was be-
ing furthered by the union TO
increase production and reduce
absenteeism.
1.-THE company claims the
reason for the iayOff Is shortage
Of n single part supplied by an
Out-of-town plant" he said.
whether the company claim
OF shortage Is true or not, all
these employees could be kept at
work building up-a bank OF
stock, but the company refuses
To do this.
"It means the loss I'm this
single afternoon yesterday of
approximately $500 man-hours
of war production. Extension of
the layOff through tomorrow and
following days will multiply that
figure tremendously"
Confirming the layoff-in the
motor building and foundry ma.
chine shop-Ford spokesman said
the incident was caused by in
ability TO obtain bearings from .
Columbus, O., manufacturer. The
bearings will not be available
they estimated, until Monday oil
! Tuesday.
Transferring the workers TO
other jobs" the spokesman
added. would have required
several days. They would have
been needed back on their
regular jobs by that time.
I'VE couldn't build up an ad-
vance bank of stock because
manufacturing and assembly
operations are co-Ordinated. In
other words, layoff would
occur some place along the line
eventually and operations would
become unbalanced"
The committees agenda also
Included conferences with com
Ipany officials, including Henry
Ford.
Ferguson said that the commit
tee had received written com
plants of labor conditions at the
CurtisS Wright plant in Columbus
! o. where the committee spent yes
terday inveStiga ting production.
THE plant there Was not mp
10 expected production sched-
ules. We studied their produc-
ton rates, we examined their
records. We talked with factory
officials on the problems.
THE same procedure will he
followed here in Detroit at the
bomber plant.
I'm many ways the two plants
are similar. Both are huge
plants built on former farm
land. Both are behind In their
schedules of plane production"

Senator Ferguson said he be-

Still a Grand Juror
Ferguson Calls Life as Senator Much Like Jud ee's
Except Cheats Play for Higher Stakes

to keep Josephine who, with her
two companions, is now a guest
OF Boxing Commissioner John
Hettche.
When he went to Washington IN
January, the senator and Mrs
Ferguson found an apartment so
far from his office it took him
an hour and a quarter to get TO
work. Last week they found an
apartment around the corner from
the Senate office building.
Servants are as scarce in Wash
Iington as in Detroit, and Mrs
Ferguson is doing her own house
work, as we'll as the cooking.
Arriving at his office, within
three minutes after leaving home,
Ferguson morning Is con-
fronted by a stack of from 200 to
300 letters. Unlike most members
of Congress, he reads every one
himself and dictates an answer 10
each.
IL am convinced these letters
reflect public opinion" the sem
ator said. THAT is why l watch
them Closely
After the routine is out OF the
way, the grand jury work starts.
At these committee meetings the
senator sits across a table from
the witnesses Just as he did in
Detroit when he was turning the
city inside out and sending some
of the country'S most popular poll
ticians to prison.
Like the other day when an
eastern boat builder was on the
stand.
= MILLION, NO BOATS
1t was brought out that ne
had a S4.000,000 contract to build
bargeS. About 100000 has been
spent. testimony showed, and the
senator wanted 10 know why no
barges have been delivered to the
government.
Many DetroiterS, now visiting
lin Jackson, know how Ferguson
can shoot questions that cause
Stomachs to shrivel and hands to
shake.
Before Ferguson got through,
the committee learned from the
boat builder that most of his rela-
tives are on his pay roll and that
he has been renting his own ma
Ichincry and trucks 10 himself,
charging the rent to the govern
Iment.
THAT was comparatively
minor incident" the senator eN-

ARRIVES DAY EARLY

Ferguson. who arrived one day
early with Hugh Fulton. commit
tee attorney, asked the union rep
resentativeS to bring an eXhaus-
tive list of suggestions for inn
provements at the vast bomber
plant.
"The committee was here some
months ago." said Fulton.
There was no production at
that time since the plant was
under construction. Now the
plant should be well into produc-

was indicated by Senator Fergu-
son, former Detroit grand jury in
vestigator, who made his first visit
here since being elected.

NASH PROBLEM UP

NASH PROBLEM UP
George Adde's. secretary-treas-
urer of the UAW-CIO, asked Fer
guSon whether the committee
would be interested in the Nash.
Kelvinator Milwaukee plant, where
he declared 300 men were idle
and only 800 working on aircraft
engines.
I'VE are interested in all EVIL
dence of that nature" Ferguson
replied.
Adde's. r. J. Thomas. president
James Wishart. research director,
and William Ginske of the unions
war policy division. were the
'UAW-CIO representatives closeted
with the senators while Ford
waited outside.
The union officials did not &C.
company the investigators and
Ford on the inspection trip News
papermen were also barred.
Ferguson's statement that the
Rouge layoffs would be probed
came after he learned that Paul
Ste. Marie, president of Local 600
| had telegraphed charges 10 WIPE
! chairman Nelson

planned. The public doesn't
hear OF these things, because
many more important events
occur daily in Washington.
But we got to the bottom Of
the trouble with that contract,
and remedy has been ef-
fected."

Miss Bennett Gets Break
(Continued from Page D

Miss Bennett, confined to her ho- tel room with 8 cold during the first day of the hearing yesterday, ap- peared in the courtroom today, hat less and huddled in fur coat. She seemed tired and pale, and muffled a cough.
 The courtroom and corridors were damned with shop girls and factory workers, and Miss Bennett frequent 1y smiled their way as they caught her eye, giggled and waved.
 Immediately Judge Murphy gave his decision on the McGuire motions, a recess was called as counsel for the Plant estate went into con- ference to outline the next move.
