Mr.. Thomas Speaks Plainly

Our union cannot surUiUe If the
nation and our soldiers believe that
We are obstructing the Vor effort.
Our loyal membership must see to it
that. the acts of isolated handfuls
are not permitted to continue to the
detriment of all of us"
THOSE are plain words. They are
Il words spoken out of the knowl
edge of a chief whose answering
loyalty to the union cause is beyond
question.
Union men should not make the
mistake of thinking they are words
of compromise. They are not.
Mr.. Thomas still believes reso-
lutely in the right to strike in normal
times He said so in another public
statement yesterday. He is insisting
merely that the JAW abide by it's
solemn pledge to refrain from WAR
TIME strikes.
A LII good union men should bear
"A that in mind. They should give
serious thought to the ultimatum of
their president.
They should give particularly
grave consideration to it's concluding
paragraphs which read, in part, as
follows:
"This Dar must be Uon. If man.
dgement DilI not york sincerely
toDard that end, then labor must do
so. " zoe can present the nation and
the returning soldiers With clean
labor record, Ue tUill gain after the
Uar for the sacrifices We are making
today.
'Tf We do not, there Will be no
union after the rpar"

A-No. The attempt to mod
ernize Wayne County govern
ment has been going on for a
number of years and IL Is not
directed at the present incum-
bents. They are operating under
an antiquated and cumbersome
governmental system and the
faults are those OF the system
rather than Of individuals.
Q.-Why Is constitutional
amendment necessary?
A-The state constitution
provides for the system Of
county government. for the
county offices and for the
courts. No substantive change
can be made except by chang
ing the constitution.
Q-What changes are pro-
posed?
Ave discuss here the out
line Of the proposed new system
Of Wayne County government.
Wayne County may be orga-
nized under a charter, drafted
by a charter commission and
adopted by vote of the electors.
Such charter shall provide for:
IA chief executive. Wayne
County has at present no execu-
tive officer.
2-An elected legislative body
Of not more than 81 members;
not more than two-thirds shall
be from Detroit and may be
elected by districts or at large
and the remainder are 10 be
elected from the rest OF the
county from single districts
based on population. This is In
contrast to the present system
In which Of 81 supervisors only
1S are elected.
S-The performance by off,
GERS and authorities of all duties

The Industrial West

Yet great Observation-Disclosures as
Alfred P. Sloan Jr., chairman Of
General Motors Corp.-are agreed
one of the big jobs after the war
perhaps the biggest domestic jobs
that of providing new opportunities
for those demobilized from war in
dustries and for IL, 100000 returning
servicemen and women who will
WANT WORK.
And who RIGHTFULLY Elk
PECT to come back to something
better than shovel in global WPA
or a bureaucratic pigeonhole in
federal factory.
THE foundation attacked this
l. problem.
Wisely, it started with the
groundwork and not the superstruc-
ture.
It didn't send to England, or to
Russia, or to Timbuktu for pattern,
but set about seeing what materials
ARE AT HAND on which, and out
of which, to build.
Under the direction of George w.
Malone, former chief engineer of
Nevada and a member of the Colo
RADIO River Commission, the founda-
ton made an audit of the TOTAL
RESOURCES of the eleven western
states, Alaska, Hawaii, and the Phil
ippines.
This audit took six years and
cost $350,0O0.
The result staggers the magma
ton with promise of the future.
The report lists $500 minerals to
be found in the west. It gives the
prospects for $50 possibly new and
expanded industries, some of which
are being developed specifically
under spur of military necessity.
But, says Mr.. Malone:
"What has been used so far in
the West is triUiai-What can be used
in the future is so Uast the human
mind cannot grasp ii noID.
The foundations work is in
spring.
Its report is challenge to the
head, heart and hands of America, a
challenge to our productive genius.

Q-What is meant by County
Home Rule?
Alt means a legal arrange
ment which permits the citizens
of Wayne County to determine
within certain limitations the
governmental organization of
the county; under the proposed
amendment this would be ac-
complished through the election
of q charter commission en-
powered TO draft a charter.
which would be submitted 10
the people for adoption or re-
lection.
Q-Why is any change de-
sirable?
A-The present county gov
eminent In Michigan is obsolete
and inefficient. II provides for
no executive official. IL has n
legislative body of 81 members,
the board of supervisors, Of
whom only Is are elected and
the others are members Of the
board by reason OF their hold
ing other public Office or by
appointment; most Of them do
very little rs sup rvisOrs-the
bulk of the work being done by
the ways and means committee.
The present organization Of the
county government by Its very
nature results In overlapping of
activities, lack Of responsibility
and infiexibility. As evidence of
this one need only observe the
continuous friction and competi-
ton over the years between the
ways and means committee, the
board Of auditors and the vari-
Gus elected officials as To mat
tiers Of policy and procedure In
county government.
@ rs the present movement
based on criticism OF the pres
ent officeholders7

and functions now or hereafter
imposed on counties. This will
result in provision for the per-
Torrance of the work, but not
necessarily by the present con-
stitutionaI officers.
4-Nonpartisan nominations
and elections. Detroit, IL other
cities and Is villages In the
county now have nonpartisan
elections. The county problems
are almost entirely local In
character and the elimination
OF party politics In county cleo
tons should result I'm better
solutions OF these problems.
Certain other items: the
initiative; the referendum: re-
apportiOnment Of the members
Of the legislative body; neces-
sary county officers and en-
ployes; the qualifications, pow
ers, duties. terms, -pay=and
method of election Of officers:
taxation, subject TO limitation.
Of the constitution and general
laws; contractual powers; civil
service.
6-Neither the amendment
nor the charter affects IN
ANY WAY courts of record or
the office of circuit court COM

i Am An American

WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST,
WYNTOON, CALF.
THE Hearst newspapers serving
1 Michigan and the nation are to
be congratulated again for their
patriotic endeavors in sponsoring
such great public observances as |
Am An American Day.
1t would be we'll to keep in mind
that across the ocean today there are
hundreds of thousands of mothers
and fathers who would gladly give
their lives to be able to pass on to
their children the privilege of Ameri-
can citizenship.
If and when we are tempted to
take our citizenship lightly, to assume
either that it is ours by right of
accession or by the mere process of
learning our lessons well, we should
remember not only that those early
Americans devoted their full lives to
the creation of this nation but also
that they and their descendants
fought and died to protect and pre-
serve it.
l Am An American Day is a one
day rededication Of our principles
and heritage that should serve as
guide for our efforts and actions 364
other days of the year.
Sincerely,
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-05-31

WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST,
WYNTOON, CALF.
T AM AN AMERICAN DAY served
L very wholesome and praise
worthy purpose in bringing this
great free nation to the attention of
our young citizens and to those who
have foresworn allegiance to other
nations to become American citizens.
l Am An American Day is even
more important at time like this
when millions Of men and women are
fighting in the four corners of the
world to retain our status as a free
country. Every one knows the priv
ileges he derives from citizenship in
this country, but not enough people
are aware of their responsibilities.
The observance directed attention to
these responsibilities.
| congratulate THE DETROIT
TIMES and other Hearst newspapers
for their part in sponsoring the
observance.

or rs ago the Industrial West
- Foundation was organized by men
who looked beyond the horizon and
came to grips with the emerging
problems of their respective states
and of the nation.
They had no program to sell the
public.
They offered no "get rich quick"
scheme to attract idle money, nor did
they attempt to recruit camp follow
ers with visions of western utopia.
And now, after six years, the In
dustrial West Foundation has issued
a report that blazes a trail across
1.-THE last great industrial frontier OF
the nation"
The report, huge 1900 page
volume, constitutes the most slgniti-
can't approach as yet made to the
problem of postwar reconstruction
and employment.
UNTEW opportunities" declares
~ the foundation, "can be Gre
oted ONLY by production of NEW
WEALTH through Development and
processing OF raW materials"
This blunt economic truth is
FUNDAMENTAL to an expanding
economy, which is to say, an EN-
PLOYING economy.
It is ESSENTIAL in an economy
that is LAYING AWAY new
wealth and paying off obligations
instead of CONSUMING our AC-
CUMULATED ASSETS and engag
ing-on CREDIT-in paternalistic
activities that embrace the entire
world.
But this economic reality is
ignored by political Missionaries in
their plans to cosset, nurse and
dawdle us from the cradle to the
grave.
It is DELIBERATELY IG-
NORED by those seeking to de.
stroy the American system of free
enterprise by putting the govern
ment in fields belonging to private
initiative.
These elements, solidly en-
trenched in the present administra
ton, try to create the impression
they have an exclusive copyright on
genuine interest in the common man.

TN CERTAIN newspapers, the re-
i cent declaration of r. J. Thomas,
president of the JAW CLIO, concern
ing wartime conduct of union mem
bership, has been termed an appeal.
We think such designation is in
correct.
We think the statement more
properly should be called an ulti
matum.
We think, moreover, it was the
most statesmanlike utterance to come
from JAW CLIO officialdom since the
war began.
In it, Mr.. Thomas has disclosed
the stature of real leadership more
forcefully Than ever before.
He has revealed himself also as
realistic leader and a man of sound
vision.
0THE UAW-CIO today faces one
of the greatest crises in its
history" he said. "On the outcome
tUilI depend the possibilities of our
surUiUal in the postwar period. The
test is: Are the members of our
union and its leaders Uiiling to abide
by the democratic decisions and
mandates of our constitution and our
conventions?
-. A union is only as strong as
its weakest link. A minority can do
a union irreparable harm, eUen de-
Stroy IL.
"The Workers Uho insist in
taking part in unauthorized strikes
may be such minority. Within re-
cent Ueeks, there haze been too
many Dildcat strikes. Public opinion
has become infian,ed against our
union.

FOotlighters Stage
 "Cry HaUoc''

The tragic story of a group of courageous nurse during the battle for control of Bataan in early 1942 was related last night when the Footlighters presented the play "Cry Havoc" by Allan B. Kenward be- fore an audience of 500 at the Wa terbury Women'S Club.
 The group. performing for the first time with an all girl cast, conveyed with realistic sincerity, the terror in their hearts and the courage with which they meet they fate. The nurses, who sought shell ter in a converted gun emplace- ment at times react hysterically to the sound of bombs and the agony they must try to relieve when they go from the shelter to the aid of the wounded. Often the ten sion is relieved by bits of humor given mainly by rather innocent nurse, Nydia, played by Ernestine Steward.
 The principal roles of Smitty and Pat, played by Rita Sepansky and Joan VaneSSe, were capably handl- ed. Others in the cast were Shirley Robinson, Pamela McGrath, Peg Wesson, Jane Peck, Peggy Hovey, Betty Lawlor, Betty Bailey, Agnes Aston and Marjorie Carey. Eileen Whelan was cast in the role of Doc. March.
 Charles Goodsell directed the play.
