Union Officials Agree
To Call Off Strike
Al Wright Plants
Promise WLB TO Issue
Bock-to-Work Order
To Workers Tonight
BY the Associated Press.

~ thS hsSoCiAtcu HEcsss
Prodded by the War Labor
Board, officers of the Wright Air
craft Supervision Association
agreed today to call of a strike
at five New Jersey plants pro-
ducing B-29 Super Fortress en-
gines.
WLB Chairman william H. Davis
said work must be resumed tomor-
row morning." and after a brief
huddle Attorney John F. Butler and
the ofhcers and plant representa-
tives Of the independent union said
they would direct the workers at a
meeting tonight to return to work.
An estimated 1890 members of
the union are on strike at the Pater-
son and four other North Jersey
plants Of the Wright Aeronautical
Corp. The action left more than
81 900 workers idle.
Wanted to Return.
Mr.. Davis earlier had said that
every power of the Government
would be invoked to halt the strike.
Mr.. Butler had told Mr.. Davis the
members wanted to return to work
but that they could not continue
emcient production under conditions
which he said have prevailed since
a previous unauthorized strike ended
October 4 in response to a WLB
order.
The board at that time directed
Wright Aeronautical Corp. to con-
|tinue the status quo in handling
transfer, promotions and demotions
among the supervisors, pending final
settlement of grievances. A WLB
panel later took up the grievances
but made only a fact finding report
without recommendations, to the
board.
The union voted November I
under terms of the Smith -Connany
Act, to strike within 80 days. Last
Sunday, however, the men decided
to walk out Monday morning.
Denies Pressure Used.
We're not trying to put the pres
sure on anybody" Mr.. Butler saic
when Chairman Davis remarked
that the union could accomplish
nothing by a strike. The VILE
chairman added that halting pro.
duction Of such essential items as
engines for the giant B-29s had cost
the foremen the sympathy oi
everybody"
Andre Maximov, counsel for the
company, said the company hao
been confronted with ''nebulous'
complaints from the supervisory
union and that it had attempted tc
follow the ordinary procedure TO,
handling their grievances.
Union representatives, headed by
President David g. Newcomb, ap-
peared before the show-cause hear
ing after first indicating at Pater-
son, N. j., that they would ignore
the WLB summons.

Billions in Lease-Lend
And Postwar Loans
To Be Asked Of u. 5.
France Appeals for Aid;
Stote Department OfficioI
Urges End of Johnson Act
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD.

Indications that the United
States will be called on for bill
lions of dollars worth of postwar
loans or lease-lend exports to
restore the world to economic
health multiplied today.
Coincident with a speech by
Charles P. Taft, chief of the State
Departments Office of Wartime
Economic Affairs, advocating the re-
peal of the johnson Act, it was
learned that France is seeking ap-
proximately $4,000 ,0O0, 900 worth OF
American goods during the next Il
months to rebuild that country
Both developments follow a recent
British appeal for postwar lease
lend.
The johnson Act, passed in 1894
prohibits American private banks
and other lending agencies from ex-
tending money to countries in de-
fault on their World War debts
which, at the time of the Hoover
moratorium in 1882, totaled about
$11 ,000, ,00O, 900. Subsequent legisla-
tion barred Export Import Bank
loans to countries in the same cate
CORY.
Expected to Present Program.
Reports were current today that
President Roosevelt will present to
the next session of Congress a tre-
mendous program for combined
private and governmental export
financing for war-devastated areas
Some Government economic advisers
believe that during the year follow
ing the end of the war In Europe
the United States must anticipate
an export program of some SIS, ,0O0,-
000, 900, which is about the present
wartime volume.
Some State Department and other
Government economists who have
been studying postwar economic
problems long have believed that re-
peal Of the johnson Act would be
necessary before realistic plans can
be made. But Mr.. Taft's statement
yesterday was the first official utter
ance on the subject.
In a speech before the Common
wealth Club of San Francisco, made
public by the State Department, Mr.
Taft said:
"Congressmen on both sides o1
the House have proposed an ex-
pansion Of the lending authority
Of the very well run Export Import
Bank and the restrictions on its
lending to the European countries
Skills Of Creditor Nation Urged.
Such q measure ought to be
passed. The johnson Act stops any
private lending In many Of the
countries that need 1t and should
get 1t. We are the worlds creditor
nation and what we need is not the
isolationism OF . policy of no loans,
but the development Of the skills OF
q creditor nation"
Great Britain, France, Italy, Soviet
Russia and many Of the smaller ma
tions Of Europe come under the ban
imposed by the johnson Act, as they
have paid nothing on their World
War debts since the early 193Os. Both
administration and Congress have
realized for years that the war debts

LONDON, Nov. German
troops have evacuated the inn
portant communications center
of Jasbereny, IS miles due east
of Budapest, the Berlin radio
said today.
The reported loss of the bitterly
contested city of 10000 came after
the Red Army wheeled on the Hun
garian capital from several direc-
tions and liquidated a German
bridgehead east of the Danube and
south of Budapest. Moscow said 80
towns had been overrun.
Marshal Rodion Y. Malinovsky's

west bank.
$1,000 Prisoners Claimed.
A Moscow dispatch said 1900
prisoners were taken in the bridge
head battle, and hundreds more OF
the enemy drowned in an attempt
to fee across the river. Approx
mately $4,000 Germans and Hun
garians have been captured since
Marshal Malinovsky began his drive
on Budapest from Southern Hun
gary last month, it was estimated.
Hungary seemed likely to remain
the main theater of action on the
eastern front, the Moscow dispatch
added, for there was little hint OF
any attempt in the near future to
break the stalemate in Poland or
East Prussia.
