The fact that the Air Show will
close Sunday stirred many who
had not seen it TO come out early
and view the sights. The WAC
recruiting tent was kept busy with
prospects for the air forces.
The cutaway engines on display
in the manufacturers exhibits
were another big point of interest.
The big Dodge aircraft engine
continues to draw the most at
traction because it powers the
B-29.
But the huge Allison. the most
powerful motor in the world, gets
its share of notice.
The big army cameras and pho
Geographic exhibit arouse enthusi-
asm in the tent occupied by the
Army Industrial Services. And the
captured German and Jap equip
ment is a magnet for the young
sters.
Yesterdays attendance was one
of the best since the Air Show
opened. although il did not estab-
lish a midweek record.

Kelly Visions
JobLdy-0ff
Sees $1,000 Idle
Here After Victory
special to THE DETROIT TINES


CHICAGO, June u - Approx
mately third of Michigans fac
tory workers will be laid off the
hour that victory is won and war
contracts are terminated, Gov.
Kelly predicted here today in de-
manding that the Republican ma
tional convention adopt a plank
assuring orderly and speedy re-
conversion TO peace production.
Appearing before the COP reso-
lutions committee at preconven-
ton session. the Michigan gov
ernor revealed that he has been
making a survey of war industries
which shows the automobile state
will suffer a terrific unemploy-
ment impact when the gears are
shifted TO normal manufacturing.
$1,000 TO LOSE JOBS
He told the committee that 487
manufacturers now employing
$4,000 workers, have reported to
him that they will lay off at least
81 900 when the war ends.
The governor explained the sur
vey is not completed and that
more than 900 additional large
employers have not yet filed their
reports.
Kelly said the factories report
Ing so far have estimated they
can re-empioy 10000 OF the 81 1000
within six months if the govern
ment aids them 10 re-establish
normal business.
There must be a definite policy
established by government which
will assure industry a future free
from fluctuating and constant
change OF policy" the Michigan
chief executive declared
"Capital must be given en-
enlargement To invest without
feeling that such investment
will be constantly subjected TO
changes of economic policy.
NO WPA JOBS
Returning war veterans will
refuse WPA shoveI-leaning jobs
or doles inspired by theorists"
Kelly told the platform-makers
that they must pledge the party
10 elimination OF all unnecessary
regulations affecting individuals
and business, elimination of I'M
necessary record keeping and
burdensome questionnaires. and
that they must promise 10 resist
the tendency TO socialize BUSH
ness"
Emergency powers must end
ut the earliest possible mo-
ment," he continued.
He warned that a serious post
war problem will be caused by the
disposition OF surplus materials
and recommended that the Re-
publican party promise 10 dispose
OF government-owned factories.
when such action could be ac-
cornplished without causing
ruinouS overproduction.
FUTURE OF PLANTS
1--WE must guard against dis
posal OF government plants in
basic industries like. rubber,
aluminium, steel and airplanes,
when government holdings are
sufficient TO exert prepon-
derant influence on the future
course OF an industry" he testi-
fed.
In disposing Of goods, Gov.
Kelly recommended that the gov
eminent refrain from releasing
more than the market can absorb
or in quantities ruinous 10 private
business.
On the subject Of labor. the
governor said the convention
should adopt a plank assuring
workers that the COP favors
strong labor organizations as
necessity for the welfare OF the
whole country"
