Ford II, executive vice president
OF the company, said today.
He made the statement at an

Young Ford told the workers, OF
whom approximately 5000 remain
at Willow Run, that in its peace

pany wanted to be able to employ
as many as possible of them in
other jobs elsewhere In the Detroit
area.
Relating that for 20 consecutive

u. S. SPENDING:
Sets Record

Ending June 30, fiscal year 1915
found the U. S. collecting more,
spending more and running into debt
more than in any other similar pc
Rod in the nations history.
Though revenues rose to almost
ASH billion dollars for the year,
expenditures rocketed to almost
100 billion, leaving a deficit of 81
billion. AS a result the nation
al debt scared to more than 255
billion dollars.
Standing at about 80 billion dol
lars. war spending constituted the
greatest portion of OUTLAWS. While
expenditures for military produc-
ton, supplies and services were up,
contracts for construction, subsidies
and other obligations of government
corporations dropped off to less
than one-half billion dollars.
AS fiscal 1916 got underway, less
expenditure and less income APP
peared to be in order. Military ex-
penditures have been cut to reflect
the decreased cost of a one-front
war and revenues are expected to
drop because of less overtime
wages and some unemployment due
to reconversion.

OPA:

Giving Secretary of Agriculture
Clinton Anderson veto power over
food pricing orders. including proc

house and senate conferees agreed
to one year extension of OPA.
In granting Anderson pricing
supervision, the conferees knocked
out the senate amendment calling
for the payment of cost plus a rea-
sonable profit for farm products.
Though backed by the agricultural
bloc, the measure was strongly op-
posed because of it's displacement
of the parity system, designed to
create a balance between what pro-
ducers get and what they must pay
for goods.
In addition to granting Anderson
power over food prices, house and
senate conferees sought to improve
the tight meat situation by permit
ting non-federally inspected packers

tween the states. relieving the pres

With the formation of a new gov
eminent designed to be repre-

peared resolved, thus removing a
bone of contention between the AL
lies.
Including political leaders who
had fled abroad as well as those
who had remained behind or found
sanctuary with the Russians, the
new regime is based on the
Moscow sponsored Warsaw provi-
sional government to assure the
Reds of friendly buffer to west
ern Europe.
Though U. S. and British recogni-
ton Of the new regime doomed, the
Polish government in exile in Lon
don assailed it as a 'self-appointed
political body composed of COM
munists and foreign agents. AS
long as the Red army and police
occupy Poland no freedom can ex-
list, the exiles said, declaring that
their body would continue to func-
ton with the full support Of the
Polish armed forces abroad, num-
bering about 100000.

Before the war, it was found,

population as did counties with

500. Physicians rank third in earn
ing ability among the independent
professions, following that of the

today are comparatively high, most
of them have spent six years, plus
$4,000 to $4,000, in preparing them
selves for their profession.

Nest-Egg Cr0ws

Despite heavy payments due on
income tax installments for the final
quarter of 1914 and an increase
in inventories of unincorporated
businesses, individuals savings for
/ the first three months of this year
totaled almost So, 500, 100000.
( During the period, individ-
( uals' deposited almost $5,O00,-
+ 100000 in banks; bought almost

At the same time, individuals

Waterfowl Drop

According to estimates of DR..
Ira N. Gabrielson, chief of the
U. S. Fish and Wildlife service,
the waterfowl population of the
U. S. stands at 105 million. This
is approximately 20 million less
than the 1914 figure.
The apparent decrease may
not be exact, DR.. Gabrielson
points out, as the population
may have been overestimated in
1914.
Losses in population are re-
ported greatest in the Atlantic
and Mississippi regions, while
increases are recorded for both
the Central and Pacific f1yways.
In all fiyways there is evil
dence that close check must be
kept on some species such as
the Redhead, Lesser Scaup.
Ruddy Duck and Canada Goose.
DR.. Gabrielson said. The Cad
wall, Baldpate, Pintail, Green
winged Teal and the Snow and
White fronted Geese were
among the few species that reg
istered gains.

OUU uGl0SdtoS from
5O United Nations mapped the histor-
ic pact, Sen. Tom Connally Dem,
Texas bid for early ratification, de-
claring that although no effort
would be made to railroad the thing
through, II don't want to see the
senate dilly-dally, shilly-shally and
honey-sWuggle all through July and
August just because some men,
bers want to make speeches for con-
sumption back home.''
A member of the American dele
cation at the San Francisco parley
along with Connally, Sen. Arthur
Vandenberg (Rep., Mich.) also was
prepared to throw his full strength
behind the move for acceptance.
known for his efforts to reconcile
U. S. sovereignty with international
cooperation, Vandenberg said that
although the security organization
was not perfect, it represented a
step toward effective world collabo-
ration to outlaw future war.
With no major battle looming, dis
cussion of the power of the U. S.
representative on the security coun-
Gil to vote for use of armed force
without prior congressional approx
al may be academic, with propo-
nents suggesting later legislation
enabling congress to instruct the
representative on the course to be
pursued in such cases.
Under the present provisions of
the security organization, however,
there is little likelihood of armed
force being employed against any
of the major powers, since anyone
Of the Big Five - the u. S., Brit
ain, Russia, France and China-can
veto military measures against
themselves.
By permitting the U. S. to retain
conquered Pacific possessions for
defense bases on the discretion of
congress, the trainers of the Sc
curity organization also steered
clear of vigorous objections which
might have been raised against the
trusteeship phases of the new char
ter.
