Mass LayoH
Not Planned

Workers at Willow Run Bomber
Plant today were continuing their
work, assured by Edward l.. C.ush-
man, director OF the Detroit VINO,
that there will be no mass layoff.
He explained that there will be a
decline in the next six months OF
more than 10000 workers at the
Willow Run plant. but this decline
will involve few layoffs.
THE normal labor loss through
quitting, sickness, job transfers and
induction into service will not be re.
placed. This will accomplish the
labor cut without mass layoffs." he
said.
The Ford Motor Co. will need
only 25,600 workers two months
from now. according to present con-
tract cutbacks; 1880 four months
from now; 1880 six months from
now.
A possible step might be cutting
the work week from the present "a
hours TO 40 hours, Cushman stated.

Peace Plans

Albany, Aug. 21-INS-Gov. Tho

outcome OF a series Of non-partisan
conferences which he has set in mo-
ton, hopeful that they will result in
plan for world peace which will
endure for generations, regardless
of changes In national political ad-
ministration.
Declaring that the treaty OF Ver-
sailles resulted only in the rebuild
ing OF "firetrap," the Republican
presidential nominee declared that
this time we don't want to build a
third firetrap."
One Of the Dewey-lnspired confer
ences on world peace detectives Is
taking place today in New York
City, where Wendell L. Willkie,
1910 Republican presidential nomj-
nee. is comforting with John Foster
Dulles, Gov. Dewey's chief advisor
on foreign relations.
Others will take place In Wash
ington, commencing tomorrow.
when Dulles will place Gov. Dewey's
views on international peace before
a group of senators who hold vary
ing opinions on the subject.
Another, and perhaps the most
important, will occur in Washing
ton on wednesday, when Dulles
meets with Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull. That session will make
political history, marking the first
time that the official spokesman for
an incumbent administration and an
opposition presidential candidate
have sought face-to-face agreement
on American policy in the foreign
