w ednesday afternoon of "Our
Town." by Thornton Wilder, before
a critical audience of students and
teachers. The three act drama is
to be presented to the public Fri
day evening, Dec. 8, at S:15 p. m.
The play is set in Growers Cor

neighbors Gibbs and Webbs. "This
is the way we were in our growing
up and in our marrying and in our
doctoring and in our living and in
our dying" Emily Webb is por-
trayed by Patricia Johnston; the
cemetery scene, in which Emily,
after her death, begs the dead to
grant her permission to go back
again to the living, is a most touch
ing scene.
Donald Graft, playing the sup
porting lead of George Gibbs, turns
in a detailed, convincing interpre-
tation of "gangling boyhood," self
consciously, yet proudly acknowledge
ing his love for Emily Webb. His
proposal to Emily is owe an ice

Curb Sought
On Stewards
Plants Crack Down
on Union Officials
News Of Labor
BY JACK CRELLIN
The Detroit Times Labor Editor

What is behind the general
breakdown on labor as evinced
here In recent weeks by strikes
resulting from the dismissal of
key union men In various plants 7
Is management deliberately az
gravating grievances within the
plants to force strikes and dis
credit unions in the minds OF men
in the armed services and the
general public?
Some labor leaders, particularly
those in the UAW-CIO, are in
clined to think that this Is SO.
But spokesman for management.
while admitting that they are
cracking down on the union. deny
that there is anything Interior in
their motives.
ACCUSE STEWARDS
They say that they are merely
attempting to regain the preroga-
tives which management tempo
rarily gave up at the outset Of
the war efforts.
Their contention Is that shop
stewards ran wild at the outset Of
the war production program and
assumed for themselves authority
In the dictation OF shop conditions
which, under ordinary circum-
stances would never have been re-
IinotIished
The union. through its shop
stewards. is fighting this move
and the result is that disciplinary
measures are taken to maintain
the company's authority.
AHEAD OF SCHEDULES
This wasn't done at the outset
because management felt that
nothing should be allowed to i'm
peril production OF war materials,
on the output OF which hinged the
Very security OF the nation.
Now. with production far ahead
OF schedules, management has had
time TO sit down and survey the
situation.
Needless 10 say. il doesn't like
what IL has seen.
