7E bond sales of $5,991,78
were far behind the Series E
quota of $10,796,000, and
earnestly requested further pur-
chases. Over subscription of issues
other than series E bonds resulted
in topping the overall quota, he
said.
Although the campaign officially
ended February Is, the Treasury
Department announced that all
bond purchases during February
would be included in totals to
meet the overall and Series E
quotas.
eve are deeply gratified to an
nounce that Lucas County has
over-subscribed its overall quota, !"
Mr.. Arnold said. But we shall
continue to work to attain our
Series E quota"
"E'' Bonds Desirable
Campaign leaders again pointed
out that Series E bonds are the
most desirable of all war secur-
tiles, in that they pay the highest
interest, cannot be negotiated if
lost or stolen, are issued in con-
venient amounts, back the attack
now and curb initiation, and pro-
vide their owners with increased
purchasing power and greater
financial security in days to come.
Local II shops all did their best
in the current bond drive with the
Acklin Unit making one of the
most successful campaigns. Many
of the plants have received the
Minute Man flag for more than
80 per cent participation on the
10 per cent wage deduction plan,
and others are expecting to re-
ceive the award as more workers
take part in the plan.
Satisfaction Expressed
Melvin Schultz, President of
Local IL, expressed his satisfac-
ton with the results of the bond
drive in Local II plants saying,
1--WE never worry about our people
when it comes to participating in
worthy causes. They have again
proven their patriotism by buying
bonds as they have shown it by
their production record ever since
the war started. We will continue
in the future to give our best eff
forts and money to aid the war
effort"

ishtsUAW

TROY, Feb. 12-How i'm
portant the union is becoming
at the Waco Aircraft Co. of
this city was shown here to-
day when the Troy Daily
News came out with two full COL
gmns of editorial taking up nearly
one-third Of the editorial page to
attack the union and defend the
"defenseless" industrialists from
the UAW-CIO which is organizing
the Waco plant.
Thinly concealed efforts of the
editorial writer to appear liberal
failed to hide the fact that in the
Troy Daily News, the Waco plant
has a true friend. The editorial
said: "They (the unions) are fully
aware that however wild, extra
vagent and untrue their statements
nay be no one even remotely con-
rccted with management is per-
mitted to refute them under the
severe penalty of law"
Dislikes Union Handbills
Principal cause for the long edi-
torial was a handbill which had
been issued by the union which ac-
cused the management of saying
that it had something up its sleeve
to stop the union from coming in
at Waco, and accusing the COM
pany of granting increases in pay.
Source of the accusation made
by the union that the company
was granting wage increases in
violation of the Wage Stabiliza-
tion Act was a notice sent out
from the Regional War Labor
Boards Celeveland office direct
ing that a hearing be conducted
against four employers to deter
mine whether they had violated
the Wage Sterilization act. Waco
Aircraft Co. of this city was one
named for alleged increases in
wages above the maXimums and
minimims established for the re-
spective job classifications in the
plant without obtaining War Labor
Board approval.
Tries Case in Paper
Efforts were made by the edi-
torial writer to try the War Labor
Board case on the editorial page
when he asked, 1--WE would like to
know the names of the employees
who secured the .05 cent raises,
together with the circumstances
surrounding the raises if they
were granted.
The writer than wonders if
Troy Labor Board might not be
set up to act unofficially and with
out pay to determine and circulate
the facts. The Troy Ministerial
was suggested as a
fact finding commission.
Harold Tull, in charge of the or
ganization work at Waco in re-
plying to the editorial said, eve
believe that the War Labor Board
is perfectly competent to conduct
the hearings and that the Troy
Daily News merely proves what we
have been saying all along, that

Subsidies
Face Defeat

WASHINGTON, F e b. u
(FP) = The administrations
subsidy program designed to
hold the line on consumer
food prices faced certain de-
feat in the senate Feb. 10 with or
ganized labor banking on a presi-
Dental veto to rescue the program.
Pointing to the final outcome
was a 40 to 26 vote the previous
day against the Maloney amend
ment to HR 3477, the Bankhead-
Steagall Commodity Credit Corp.
bill which bans food subsidies as
of June so. Chief rallying point
of the pro-subsidy forces, the
Maloney amendment would have
authorized 81, 100000 subsidy
program IN 1874.
Coalition Vote Heavy
The Unexpectedly heavy vote
against the Maloney amendment,
lacking only one vote of. the two
thirds needed to override veto,
was the result Of coalition be-
tween Republicans and southern
Democrats. Only two Republicans
voting for the Maloney amend
ment were John Danaher Comm
and William LANCER (N. d.
Evidence of full anti-subsidy
strength came Feb. 10 in the de-
feat of the so-called Taft COM
promise. which was showed under
by a 63 to 10 vote. Rejected alike
by most Republicans ID admins
tration supporters, the I t
amendment outlined a limited sub
sidy program of S950,000,000. 1t
would have prohibited milk and
wheat flour subsidies and junked
present subsidies to rollback meat
and butter prices.
Still awaiting action were the
Mcclellan amendment, authorizing
a boost in the price of milk, and
the LaFollette-Aiken food stamp
plan, which would offer relief from
soaring food costs only to low
income groups.
