(Continued from Page D tive Board at Flint, Mich, R. J. Thomas, union president, said the union planned to ask the National Labor Relations board to provide for strkie votes in 100 automobile plants.
 He insisted, however, that the union was not anxious to strike against the automobile industry.
 All other strike-idle workers in Detroit were employed in the auto mobile industry except for 300 pat tern makers.
 Even while marshaling their forces for wage campaigns against the auto factories, the auto work CTS were faced with dissension in their own ranks.
 Union Defys Leaders
 The JAW International Board took over the Kelsey-Hayes local and considered the month-long strike ended. But the union mem- berS defied their leaders and refused to return to work.
 The unions highest officialdon was criticized yesterday at a meet ing of the presidents committee of the JAW, an organization composed of presidents of local unions. The presidents group charged that the International Union was not set- ting workers grievances. Matthew Hammond, chairman of the presi- dents committee, demanded that convention be called quickly to elect new international officers.
 At Flint, Thomas said there was little chance that the convention would be advanced from the sched- uled date of April 8.

men and the split-toed shoes they wore didn't help their appearance.
 We were stripped of all our clothes and taken to the airport where prl- soners were put in the center or the runway with machine guns mounted all around. Everyone was naked. The sun got warm, then hot. We sat and waited. During the day the heat became terrific. We all su1- fered from sunburn, thirst and ex- posture.
 About 7 D. m. we had our first water in twelve hours. There wasn't much but it tasted better than any thing ever drank, before or since.
 Starvation
 We spent the night at the airport. It got extremely cold. We still were stripped naked. Many of the men had dysentery or were wounded, but no attempt was made to help them. Every attempt made by one ot us was stopped by the Japanese 1m- mediately.
 We spent all the next day, the 24th, on the airport. Toward evening they gave us small chunks of bread and more water-our first meal tn 36 hours. That night the JapS herd- ed us into the dugout hangar where despite the discomfort and stench at least we were warmer through the the chill night.
 The announcement on Christmas Day that we were to work for Ja- pan brought relief because 1t broke the mounting suspense of not know ing what would happen to us.
 The Japanese put us in barracks, 300 to a building. The buildings were built for 100. The shelter, any shelter, seemeed swell at the time, like Christmas present, after there days on the airport, naked under the glaring tropical sun and shivering through the cold nights.
 We found some makeShift cloth ing in the barracks and the Jap anese set us to building barbed wire beach defenses, cleaning up debris, searching for bodies and uncover ing food caches. We were given in- structions on how to behave, such as obeying every order without show of defiance with the proper at- titude. If any individual disobeyed rule, the entire group was pun iShed.
 Routine
 Our daily routine was to rise at 5 a. m. Tokyo time 6 a. m. Wake time.) Then roll call. Breakfast at 6:30. Begin work at 2. Lunch at noon. Work until supper at 4:15, Lights out at TOO and inspection by the Japs at 7:15.
 The only break was the possibil- ity of being assigned to work party looking for food caches. If you were in the lucky party you usually were able to eat all you wanted of can ned foods and you always could smuggle some into the barracks for the less fortunate.
 On January II each of us was briefly questioned and about 35C were selected to remain on the is- land. The rest were to be moved We didn't know where. It was saio that We were going to be exchanged at sea; that we would be sent tc South America and released.
 We heard that we were going every place for every reason but few even thought of Japan. Next morn. ing we weer told to get ready tC move. We didn't know where wt were going or why but We all hoped and thought 1t was to be something better than being prisoner or Wake Island. Had we only known

PRESIDENTS SALARY

The salary of the president of the United States has
evoked discussion, prompted by a comparatively poor man sue
ceeding a rich man in office, says the Independent Record.
President Roosevelt, a millionaire from birth, had no per-
sonal financial problems while in the White House. His sue
cessor may find the going more difficult. After a deduction of
$4,000 for income taxes, his 75y000a-year salary dwindles
to s28. 900. Fortunately. the government pays the White House
bills.
President Truman has the reputation of being a good
manager in matters of finance. He made the campaign for
vice president on funds borrowed from friends, refusing to
accept any aid from the national committee of his party. AS
president, he has a travel fund of $4,000 a year which cannot
be spent for any other purpose.
There has been talk of increasing the presidents salary to
a figure which would eliminate much of the financial worry
of the office. Because of income tax demands as the salary
rose, this increase would have to be substantial. Taking into
consideration the lower price level of his day, President Taft
more than three decades ago enjoyed an income-there were
no income taxes then-at least six times that of President
Truman.
