MOBILE, Ala, May 23.-More
than 6,500,000 tons of American
shipping has been lost since the war
began in Europe in 1899, Vice Ad-
mlral Emory S. Land, Maritime
Commission chairman, said in an
address here last night.
This figure represents more than
half of the entire prewar merchant
fleet, he said, but has been made up
seven times over by the construction
in American shipyards of ap-
proXimately 56,000,OO0 deadweight
tons.
The announcement of the ship
ping losses was made in Admiral
Land S Maritime Day address before
the Mobile Propeller Club.
Admiral Land also gave break
down of his idea on what should be
done with the huge merchant fleet
in the postwar period. He estimated
total shipping available at 68,000,000

 Detroit, Sept. 25-What has hap.
 pened thus far in Detroit and what is happening now, are just the cur
 tain-raising preliminaries, plus bits of shadow boxing by the big, shifty heavyweights who later will climb into the ring for the main event.
 Tn the first skirmish upwards of 100000 persons in Greater Detroit were idled by strikes. Some 40,0OC were out at the Ford Motor Com pany, and another 10000 at Ford supplier plants. They were not on strike. They could not work because 4500 had left the Kelsey Hayes Wheel Go. plant, which supplied Ford, in defiance of their national JAW officers.
 Detroit filling stations commence ed running dry and four suppliers were closed and two slowed down because of the CIO Petroleum Re- finery Workers strike. A strike of 5000 at the Packard Electrical Com pany's factory in Warren, O., has cut off electrical circuits needed to keep 25,000 Chevrolet workers on the job. There were $500 out at Hudson Motor Co.,, and several relatively minor strikes involved from 250 workers up.
 PAY CHECKS STOF
 Tn the aggregate, these strikes have stopped the pay checks of a lot of families, and some of the lay offs bulk large by themselves. Yet in the Detroit picture they are just second rate miscellany. Except for the oil strike, none of the larger ones involve the major issue now agitating Detroit and other indus trial centers. That is: Shall factory workers be paid as much from now on, for 40 hours, as they earned during the war for 47 or 50 or 52 hours week
 The big battle will come, unless 1t can be averted, when the JAW strikes the Big Three of the auto mobile world = General Motors, Chrysler and Ford-to enforce It's demand for a 30 per cent raise in phSAC pay " SOLHpeLlohVG AOE LAiS AOoS of overtime premiums.
 And that clash of the giants will not begin for something like another two months If, as many expect, the JAW IS meticulous h observing the requirements on the Smith Connolly Act.
 General Motors employees have authorized their union representa-. lives to petition the National Labor Relations Board for strike vote.
 After the petition is filed the NLRB must set a date for the poll. That date must be far enough away to give time for the Board to find about Sl50,000 to finance the ballots ing of 350,000 men and women in l35 plants. Time must be allowed to get ballots printed and distributed, to recruit the large staff needed to supervice the voting and count the ballots, and to make other physical Experts do not be- lieve that this can be done In less than 30 days after the petition Is filed.
 If the vote favors a strike, the JAW is required by the Act to wait another 30 days before it can cali put the GMC workers,

Battle Of Giants Ln Detroit Labor War Expected To Begin N0 Sooner Than November
Clash Between Big Three of Automotive Industry and JAW Will Far overshodow All TOdoy's Strikes in Nations Motor Capitol

So 1t seems that unless the union gets impatient and ignores the feds eral law, at least two months must elapse before an actual strike can be called at General Motors, and slightly longer in the case of Chrys- Ter and Ford, whose workers were slower in authorizinL their unions to petition for strike votes.
 It is certain that while this pro- longed legal ritual is progressing there will be jockeying between the JAW and the companies. First in the hope of getting together on some basis that will avoid a strike that neither wants. Second, to make public record, in case a strike does eventuate.
 Chrysler and General Motors have signified to the JAW their readiness to confer without com- mitments as to what they will say.
 It is taken for granted here that the companies will go certain way in granting pay raises. With pro- longed period of capacity production possible, to satisfy the huge pent-up demand for new cars, there will be profits that can be shared with the workers. No major company would willingly permit an avoidable strike to bar 1t from that lush market.
 However, few conceive that the companies will bid as high as 30 per cent raise for peace, and there is no way of guessing how much the companies will give or how little the union will accept.
 The Studebaker Company, at South Bend, offered l2 cents an hour. This was very much under 30 per cent. Because of a piece- work system carried over through war time, studebaker'S workers have been getting much more than the industry average of SLY an hour, SO a l2 cent raise there meant even less than 1t would from the Big Three.
 George Adde's, JAW secretary treasurer, was quoted as saying: We are after a 30 per cent in- crease, and will take no less" The next day, settlement of the Stakeholder strike, on the basis of the Recent raise, was an- nounced, with stipulation that the rate would be reconSidered If the JAW succeeded in getting bigger raises on national basis.

 Around Govern
 ment's Surplus
 Property
BY FREDERICK 0. OTHMAN


 Washington, Sept. 25. (UP)-- What you must do is garner any useful information from tnls dis patch is keep in mind the fact that our government still has a ware- house of horse drawn hearses it's been trying to sell since the Span- ish-American War.
 For 47 years the boys have been duSting their hearseS and oiling the axles in hope of finding a cus- toner for same. That is known as surplus property disposal. You think I'm being cynical2
 r The surplus property board put on sale this summer a consignment of iron rods for musket stuffing, which the Army saved from the Civi -Wup-the war between the states. All right Don't forget. Hearses. Horses. Half a century.
 Whit this historical background you will be interested to know that the Senate War Investigating com mittee called up the big g-shotS in charge of surplus property to tell 'em, among other things, that VIE day was five months ago and what about that $6,000, 100000 worth of stuff still iittering the European landscape?
 John w. Snyder, the high -domed director of War Mobilization with the narrow-rimmed eyeglasses, who looks like he might be a successful banker from St. Louis (come to think of 1t, he iS), was witness number one. He said the first thing you do when you want to sell some- thing is count the pieces. He said this would be a big job.
 He said 1t would be gigantic. Thomas McCabe, the Army Navy liquidation commissioner, said 1t would be colossal. Surplus Admin istrator W. Stuart Symington said enormous. Committee Chairman James M. Mead said tremendous. The surplus experts were beginning to sound like Sam Goldwyn adver- Using an epic. I guess they used the right words at that.
 It turned out that as of now there's about 1000, GOO tons of things in Europe from gold tooth filings to portable beer dispensers to 40- ton tanks to khaki brasseres for WACS. Each ton is worth about S1,O00 on the average, although McCabe said the figures would re- main a little indefinite until each ton is counted.
 How much wrong would your figures be?" demanded Sen. Owen Brewster of Maine. Quite a bit, McCabe replied.
 "As much as billion dollars wrong?' Brewster insisted.
 Maybe more than that" McCabe said.
 Supercolossal, maybe, is the word.
 Snyder went on to say that the tanks, guns and fighter planes werent's worth a hoot to anybody, except for killing people. We're go. ing to try to persuade the world to go easy on killing folks from now on and what to do with the lethal weapns is a diplomatic problem. That means if diplomacy is going to have anything to do with the sale of surpluses, therell have to be new law. Snyder said he hoped Congress would pass 1t.
 Came up then the subject of the of motor trucks, still crated, still unassembled, still on Inc docks in Europe. how ocme2
 Snyder said the trouble is, Europe's in a mess. A prospective customer can't get to the site of the trucks to see whether he wants ,o buy en1. If he does make 1t, he nas no way to ship 'ein out.

Homeward comes the warrior
 To his native hills, Just in time for the Autumn colors
 And also the Autumn bills. He had forgotten the sunsets
 At the close of September day, The piles of harvested apples,

 To his native hills, To don again his blue serge suit,
 To start his old job at the mills. Homeward comes the warrior,
 To foxholes he has said goodbye, Alerted now for washing the car

some FAC leaders believe the
Agency should. in its early stag
es, concentrate on measures de-
signed to help devastated

This belief has led some farm

marily in welfare of consumers
and only secondarily if at all in
farmers.
Meanwhile, Russia passed up
