AUTO WORKERS UNION EXPOSES
WILSON'S BACK-TO-POVERTY PLAN

Detroit FP).-Auto manufacturers
plan to rob both the public and their
workers, while increasing profits by
the hundreds of millions of dollars,
were exposed here Oct. 22-with dol
lar and cent statistics-by the United
Auto Workers.
Proof that the auto industry could
meet labor's demands for a 309c wage
increase, cut the cost of cars $50 to
S100 each, and still make 500 more
profit than they did before the war
was offered by UAW after President
Charles E. Wilson of General Motors
Corp, told lushing cocktail party of
daily press reporters his plans for
lengthening the work week and cut
ting pay, on Oct. 21.
From Cincinnati, O., came support
for the UAW demands from a source
not accustomed to giving aid and
comfort to CIO unions. AFL President
William Green derided GINS pay-cut-
ting, hour-lengthening proposals as
completely impracticable." Labor
has maintained for several years." the
AFL chieftain said, "that the answer
is higher wages, and labor won't be
satisfied with anything else."
The UAW, in negotiation with GM

hourly rates--to compensate for the
reduction from 48 hours to 40 hours

assistant stooges of GIN, and has been
unable to get even them to comment
on the unions demands.

Sebring Local
Seeks Change
In State Low
Asks Support For
POtters At Polls

Sebring, Ohio.-Local Union a. met
in regular session last Friday evening
with President John Hamilton, pre-
siding. After dispensing with the
regular routine business round table
discussion was held regarding the
petition now being circulated through
out the shops in Sebring, asking for a
change in the present set up of the
unemployment law.
This petition has been signed by
practically everyone working at the
trade and will be forwarded to the
Ohio general assembly for considera-
ton. This change is deemed necessary
following the closing down of two
plants last May when a dispute in
volving about fifteen girls, resulted
in unemployment compensation being
denied several hundred others because
of an Interpretation of the law.
The delegates to Trades Council re-
ported the recent change in the meet
ing night for that body has not work
ed out so well, and they will go back
to the former schedule of the second
and fourth Wednesday of each month.
With election day near at hand we
call your attention to four potters who
are worthy of your support at the
polls on November 6. Bro. Philip
Schroeder, financial secretary, is
candidate for mayor; Chester Brunt,
recording secretary, is running for
city clerk, and brothers Robert Webb
and George Gottshell are candidates
for the school board.
Quite a number of our members
have recently been mustered out of
the service and are resuming their
former jobs. All report they are glad
to be back at the trade.
A word about clean shops. The
Limoges is second to none when it
comes to a clean shop and deserves
credit for the efforts they have made
along this line. The French-Saxon is
preparing to follow suit and when
they start look out, for the manage
ment at this plant has stated their
plant will be second to no other plant
when it comes to having clean shop.

GOOD NEWS FROM CHINA

The destruction and evacuation of some American air bases in China, under pressure of the Japanese campaign in that country, has led many Americans to the conclusion that the enemy is making considerable progress on the continent.
 Because of this fact, it is interesting to report that Lt.-Gen. Albert C. Wede- meyer, Commander of American Forces in China, says that "Japan's overall po- sition in China is unfavorable" and the enemy position on the mainland is deteri- orating rapidly.
 Something of a similar judgment comes from General Sir Claude Auchin- leck, British Commander Chief in In- dia, who recently told the Indian legisla- ture at New Delhi that the enemy was lon the run" in Burma and facing re- verses in the interior of China.

to it's share in the help afforded by the enactment of such legislation.
 The vastness and importance of the Division in value to the Territory should be emphasized to the members of the Development Board who control the purse strings of the funds allotted to the Board, in order that the spending of the funds should not be confined to the more populated areas, of the other three Di- visions, under influence from strong in- terests therein.
 Let's develop the Second Division, at present, selfishly for ourselves, which is natural, and for the future generations including all who will come to seek their fortunes and to make the Second Divi- sion their home.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ACTIVE

One of the most interesting and en- couraging meetings of the Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Commerce took place last evening. Many and varied sub- jects were brought before the Chamber, and quite enlightening discussions were held on mining, housing, roads, railroad and development of the Second Division.
 If Superintendent John D. Hudert, of the Alaska Road Commission lives up to his reputation we will have some action on roads and railroad this season.
 Much is being planned for future de- velopment of roads in the Division Dur ing the meeting more explanations were forthcoming, in regard to the Alaska De- velopment Board, it's funds, and func- tions, and discussions arose therefrom. Most important was the support given A. Polet, the Second Division Regional Member of the Board, in his request for assistance of paid secretary and estab- ishment of a regional office in Nome, to compile data, and to perform necessary functions of the office, to further the purpose of the Development Board, in accord with the Bill as passed by the Seventeenth Legislature.

MOVIE WHISPERS MAKE A RACKET
By ROBIN cooNs

the grand vizer of Bagdad, was entertaining Ronald Colman, the beggar- magician, for a scene in "Kismet" and the dialogue was bouncing along.
 But Jimmy Plaster, tfe sound man, removed the lucite "beeps" from his ears and shook lis head. "Arnold's going to blow," he whis- pered to us.
 And Arnold "blew"-instantly. He stumbled on the word "Has- sir,' the mythical land of which Colman is supposed to be a prince.
 We hailed Jimmy Plaster as a prophet, asked him whence came his mysterious power.
 "We always know" he chuckled. "I could tell because Arnold started speeding up. We can tell, usually, about two,lines ahead be- cause the actor speeds up, appar- ntly involuntarily, as he approach es line he's not sure of."
 So we picked up some more items of contemporary science, while the actors prepared to go through the scene again. A sound technician, said Jimmy Plaster, will know if player needs drink of water, if he has new bridge work. even if his tummy grumbles.
 Sometimes he said, "a play CTS mouth will become dry but he won't ask for a drink of water because he doesn't want to hold up production, or because he does not know it's affecting his tones. We often have to suggest they take a drink"
 And here are times when the man must be also diplomat. One day Plaster suggested to a dis tinguished character actor that his teeth seemed chattery."
 "Oh," said the actor, unflustered by Plaster, "It must be my new dentures. I'll use my old ones." He made quick change, and the sound track no longer picked up unexpected clicks.
 The sound mans enemy is the whisper. No matter whether it conveys the latest gossip or the most innocuous trivia, thewhisper is hard on the technician's dispo- sition and the movies budget-for whisper, says Jimmy, actually carries much farther and picks up more readily than ordinary conversation.
 Of all the women with whom he has worked, Jimmy rates Hedy Lamar easiest t1 record. She has excellent diction and enunciation and, because English is not her native tongue, she keeps trying for perfection. Colman c'precise speech, almost chiseled'O and Ar
