STATE DEPARTMENT
ADMITS HALIFAX CLAIM
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-R)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-R-
A State Department spokesman
acknowledged today that the decis-
ion to send British troops into In
donesia was made by the Anglo
American combined chiefs-of-staff.
He added, however, that "that
had nothing to do with the present
fighting going on there"
The British Ambassador, Lord
Halifax, said in a speech last Fri
day night that the United States
shared with Britain the response
bility for sending British Empire
forces into the Dutch East Indies.
Asserting the decision was not
British, but Anglo-American, Lord
Halifax said, 1--WE did not send our
troops to Java on our own initia-
tive. They went there to carry out
work which had been assigned to
them by the combined chiefs-ot-
staff"
The combined chiefs is an organi-
cation of British and United States
land, sea and air commanders.
The State Department official,
who asked not to be quoted by
name, implied that while the Unit
ed States shared responsibility for
dispatching the troops, the Ameri.
can government was not respon.
sible for the manner in which the
operation was carried out.
He recalled the United States
request to Britain and Holland that
they remove American trade.
marks from all lend-lease weapons
and equipment used in combating
Indonesian elements seeking indie
pedence.
The State Department spokes-
man said the decision had been
made "a long time before the war
ended in order to facilitate sur
render of the japanese and Ito pro-
! tect some 100000 civilian inter-
nees."

dent Truman to study the GIN dis
pute. -,
The Ford offer was coupled with
a condition that it become effective
for a period of two years at the be-
ginning of the calendar month dur
ing which production OF all Ford
vehicles, cars and trucks reached
or exceeded $4,000 units monthly.
The Ford no. NAL peacetime output
is in excess of 100000 units
month.
The proposal also stipulated elm
nation of unauthorized work stop
pages, an agreement regarding
management prerogatives, and a
reduction in the number OF union
committeeman. It also included a
new company security" plan,
providing penalties against indi-
vidual workers and the union for
unauthorized work stoppages.
The Ford management, which
previously had stated it stood to
lose "about $35, 900, 900 during 1916
even without wage increase, "
said today its newest proposal
meant an additional outlay OF $35,
900, 900 annually.
'This represents 1914 per cent
increase in our present average
wage and approximately q per
cent more than the present average
of our major competitors" said the
Ford letter to the union.
The company is willing to risk the
additional $33, 900, 900, the manage
ment said, in an effort to win the
confidence and cooperation OF it:
employees; stay in production ane
keep men Employed; help break the
log-jam of postwar mass produc
ton, and do our share in hating
initiation"
The Ford statement did not est
mate the number Of workers who
would be affected by the proposed
wage rise.
An augmented picket line at Gen
eral Motors AC spark plug divi
sion plant in Flint today kept office
workers from their jobs. Police es
timated the pickets numbered close
to 900 at one time. Yesterday there
were so. There was no attempt te
break through the line today as was
done yesterday and after the groul
of office workers had been sem
home most of the pickets also left
the plant gates.

Last week in this column we point
ed out that raids on bootlegging
joints in Holmes county have been
made in the past few weeks by our
law-enforcement officials. We point
ed out that while the affidavits made
out by County Attorney Pat M. Bar
rett called for both liquor and gamb-
ling devices to be seized only liquor
was taken; that slot machines in full
view at the time of the raid were
not touched by the officials making
the raid.
We said there should be some ex-
PLANTATION of this and that an answer
of some kind should be forthcoming
without delay from the Sheriff as
to how this happened.

Record Ford Orders
Taken v-S Day
1000 Cars Per Doy
Now Being Made
1000 Made Soon

Dearborn, Mich.--More than $780,
200 persons placed orders for the
l946 Fords on "V-8 Day" and Satur-
day, October 27, although they had
no knowledge of what the cars
would cost, Ford Motor Company
disclosed today.
Dealers in many cities reported
tnat showroom crowds exceeded
those that saw the historic debut of
the Model A Ford in the fall of 1927.
J. r. Davis, Director of Sales and
Advertising, said.
The 100000 who saw the Model
A set an all-time record for crowds
attending an auto presentation. Tele-
grams, letters and telephone calls
are bringing an avalanche of praise
and acclaim to Ford headquarters.
Mr.. Davis said.
Abandonment of car rationinp
plans, reports to him say, has given
the public new incentive to view
the cars and place orders.
The public calls 1.-THE greatest
Ford it has ever seen-and two
things everyone wants to know is
How soon do we get them-and,
how much-"he said. Answering the
first Mr.. Davis said the public will
get the new Fords sooner than it
was expected.
"And while we don't know how
much, he added, I'VE should know
the prices within few days..
Mr.. Davis said the price when
established will follow Ford tradi-
ton and represent "The lowest pos
sible cost to the public consistent
with the highest possible quality.
He revealed Ford production has al
ready passed the 1000 units day
rate and should pass the 1000 mark
within a few weeks.
Company offices were swamped
with congratulatory messages on the
new car, and in congress it was
hailed as "A Symbol Of Peace and
Progress".
Henry Ford and Henry Ford, II,
would be the first to chart a new
course for full employment and
usher in new era Of prosperity
which we all hope will be unparal-
leled in our history, Representative
George A. Dondero, Of Michigan,
told colleagues. Every display point
in the nation reported 'orders above
expectation, and said Healthy de-
posits" accompanied them. "V-8
Day." October rs, marked the first
nation wide unveiling Of any postwar
car.
