HIGGINS TO
BUILD PLANES

The War Department has an
nounced approval of a contract
between the Army Air Forces and
Andrew J. Higgins, of New Or
leans, Louisiana, under which Mr..
Higgins will construct a large
number of cargo carrying air
planes. The contract has been ap-
proved by Under Secretary of
War Robert p. Patterson. It is on
a ost-plus-fixed-fe basis, the
terms of which are not announced.
The total outlay will involve more
than $4,000
The new planes will be built
largely of non-strategic materials
but capacity and expected per-
Torrance were not disclosed.

you in a short time.
It may interest you to know that
the membership that have already
purchased shares in the unon hall,
have made a recommendation to
the executive board, that the ten
cents per capita now used for the
welfare fund, be turned over to
the housing committee, to be ap-
piled against the loan on the
building. 1t is also a fact, hat the
money that was formerly used for
rent, is now being applied to the
housing fund.

turn it in to your steward or

aging and often furnishing con-
crete assistance to the organized
smear barrage.
So we observe the ultra-conser-
vatives striving increasingly to de-
wise logical" arguments for win
ming public opinion to their side,
for convincing we, the people, that
the super profit structure Is both
generous and humane, and at the
same time, thus hold down, all
liberal ideas, persons, groups and
institutions.
But despite the drum beating,
horn footing public relations cam
paigns, despite the richly financed
propaganda desperately trying to
prove that the Century of the
Man" Is just q lot OF
hooey, the American people are
awakening. At long last they are
beginning to glimpse what Euro
peans to their sorrow now know

You are all no doubt aware,
that we have purchased the build
ing, by the raising of funds through
the membership, and the balance
through a loan, which the build
ing committee negotiated. We are
trying to convince the balance of
the membership who have not yet
purchased a membership in our
union home, by their failure to do
sc, that they are costing the local
union money. Money that could
be used to promote the interests
of the local. You all know, that
we must pay interest on the loan
on the building, and this interest
money should be used for the ad-
vancement of the local.
In my opinion, the funds that we
are using to pay interest on the
loan, could well be used for an
educational program for the well
fare of the membership and the
local. An educational program
should be carried out on legisla-
tive matters, community and civic
affairs, studies of labor legisla-
ton, and classes held for the edu-
cation of stewards and active
members of the local. There r
literally hundreds of things that
our local should do, and would
be able to do, if the union hall
was paid for.
! think hat every member of
Delco UE 755 would be proud.
Proud of the fact that your local
is the first in the Dayton area too
purchase their own headquarters.
Proud that your own local union
has a hall available for all kinds
of union activity. Proud that you
too, can share in this ownership
plan.
/ am asking you to translate
this pride into action. Purchase
a share in your union home, now.

The
Master
Lime
Local 754 Dinner

A girls dinner party to be held
in the next few weeks is now
being planned by the girls of
Local 754. The executive Board
at its last meeting voted to give
assistance to this affair. Guests
will include outstanding leaders
OF District No. 7.
The interest for such a meeting
indicates that the girls at Master
realize that if the rights secured
through the Union are to be main
tanned, they must step forward and
play their role in the Union. The
increased number of girls work.
ing at Master demands that this
be done. And the girls are begin
ming to do just that too in
Winding, Electrical Control, and
other departments. Comparatively
new to the Union they are STEP
ping into jobs as stewards and
learning what the Union is all
about. Furthering this interest;
speakers at the dinner will cover
generally our Union problems.
NOT JUST FOR GIRLS
So you see, this isn't Just a
matter for the girls, but for the
men stewards as well. And the
girls aren't making it a girls
only" affair. Stewards and mem
bers, men and women are invited
to attend. It looks like an inter-
esting affair, with the rarity of
good food.
Well give you more detailed
plans on this after the meeting
being held Monday, February LIST.
STEWARDS CLASSES
It was suggested at the last
Executive Board meeting that
classes for Stewards be held
Classes that would cover, how to
write and take up grievances,
how the Union functions, the re-
lation of the Union and the War,
its responsibilities to community
problems, etc. What do you think
of the idea, Stewards? Let's have
your comments!

Hull Says Atherton
May Go 10 Quebec
BY the Associated Press.

os lac AosVSlatco IcsSs
Secretary of State Hull intimated
today that Ray Atherton, United
States Minister to Canada, might
be called to Quebec in the course
OF the Churchill Roosevelt conversa-
tions.
Mr.. Hull was asked at his press
conference whether he himself ex-
pected to 60 and replied that so far
as he was aware he would not
Asked If some one else from the
department might go to the con-
ference he said he knew OF no pres
ent plans to that effect, but that if
any of his associates within the de-
partment or In the diplomatic field
could be Of service there he would
be only too glad to make the ar
rangements. That could mean, for
instance, Ray Atherton. Mr.. Ather-
ton, Mr.. Hull pointed out, was fully
informed on all phases of foreign
policy, especially in Europe.
Before his recent appointment to
Canada, Mr.. Atherton was acting
chief of the State Department S
Division of European Affairs.
Asked if the Chinese government
had been invited to send a repre-
sentative to Quebec. Mr. Hull replied
he was not advised on that point.
In reply to other questions, Mr.
Hull said the Government had not
to his knowledge, received any off,
cial notification from the Italian
government that Rome had been
declared an open city.
