is a report by your general staff"
Under Secretary of War Robert P.

it shows the landing on Sicily, the
bloody battle on the Salerno beach,
amphibious attacks on Jap-held
territory. and American planes in
aerial combat with the enemy.
Some Of the scenes are from cap
tured enemy films.

Willow Run Workers
End Strike on Plea
|0f Union Official
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Nov. 11.-A strike In
volving 1,217 diesetters in three de-
partments Of the huge Willow Run
bomber plant ended this morning
after an appeal by union onicial
and arrangements for negotiations
on the dispute that led to the walk
out Tuesday.
Richard T. Leonard, director Of
the Ford department Of the United
Automobile Workers, CIO, said all
day-shift employees reported for
work following his back toy work
appeal.
A Ford Motor Co. spokesman said
work had been resumed and that a
conference between company and
union representatives was arranged
for this morning. The diesetters, he
said. demanded Redistribution as
diesetters only, instead Of diesetters
and press operators.
Company charges that the strike
was linked to CIO attempt to take
over management" Of the plant,
were described last night by Glenn
Brayton, president Of Local 5, United
Automobile workers, C1O, as "a
smoke screen designed to cover up
its own inefnciency."
The Ford ofiicials' statement as
serted that "for months union
ofncials have been needing the
War Department and the Govern
ment with criticism Of Willow Run
management and operation. They
suggested more than once that man
agement of the plant be given to a
committee including representatives
Of the union and Army officials."
Mr.. Brayton, explaining the
unions efforts to further the setting
up Of ion-management commit
tees. said that because the COM
pany has failed to operate the
Willow Run bomber plant success
fully, the union proposed the plant
be run by joint committee made
up Of representatives of the COM
pany, the Army and the bomber
workers, or that it be run solely
by the Government.
This plant is not owned by the
Ford Motor Co. 1t was paid for
and is owned by the American tax
payer. We don't think this is Ford's
war. 1t is Americas war"

Food Chief Foresees
Need for Price Rise
On Some Farm Crops
BY the Associated press.

War Food Administrator Marvin
Jones predicted today that because
Of the rise in wartime costs, higher
prices may be needed for some farm
crops.
In announcing the 1914 farm goals,
which call for an all-time record
agriculture production, the admin
istrator did not name the crops and
said that prices Of most farm prod
ucts are high enough to encourage
maximum production.
indicative of the farmers inten-
ton to meet the heavy food and feed
demands, = record acreage goal Of
380, ,000, 900 acres was established
after State meetings with farm
representatives, Mr.. Jones said. This
is an increase Of $4,000. 900 acres over
this year. Marketing and acreage
restrictions will be removed on all
crops except tobacco.
Continuation and possible in
creases of subsidy payments for
support prices would be required
under the program outlined by the
food chief. Subsidy payments have
cost the Government an estimated
$3.50 900 900 this year.
THE totals arrived at," Mr.. Jones
said, ARE as encouraging ~ the
actual farm production record made
in 1943. They indicate that, barring
the unforeseen, the Nations farmers
will again meet the Nations heavy
wartime requirements for food, fats
and fibers."
Big Corn Crop Forecast.
The second largest corn crop on
record - 3,085 ,652 900 bushels - was
forecast yesterday by the Agricul-
ture Department In its monthly crop
report, which told of crop gains in
other commodities.
The department said that indi-
Gated production on November
would be 10000 900 bushels above the
estimate Of the month earlier. These
estimates, the department said, per-
tain to production for all purposes
grain, silage, forage, grazing and
feed for hogs.
The harvesting of most late crops
was we'll advanced by November 7,
the department stated, and reports
on the yields OF crops now being
harvested average about what was
expected.
Rice Records Broken.
A record rice crop of 69,019, 900
bushels is in prospect and the soy
bean crop is estimated at 206 OFT 900
bushels. This crop promises to be
fully 10O,000,000 bushels more than
in any preceding year. while the rice
crop will be 5000, 900 bushels more
than last years record output.
A predicted 469, 600, 900 bushel crop
Of potatoes promises to be the larg-
est since 1928.
From every point OF view the
department said. the years record
! is one of great accomplishment un-
der difficulty. The acreage planted
was only few per cent under what
seems likely to be the maximum to
be expected during the war"
