Flint Tickets Clerical Groups Entry
IS Cents on Hour Offered Employees After 80,000 Units

Detroit, Dec. lS-tOP)- The United Automobile Work CTS Union (CIO), steadfast in their demand for a 90 per cent wage Increase. rejected today the Ford Motor Companys offer of a l5-cents hourly wage boost--the highest ye; made by an automobile manufacturer.
 While still in the negotiating ses- sion at which the Ford offer was made, Richard T Leonard, JAW director for the Ford division. an- nounced: The compsny's proposal is completely unacceptable.
 Further talks were adjourned until 10 a. m. Thursday at the unions request Leonard said that a JAW statement on the company proposals. which included an anti strike guarantee and 30-day "cool- ing of" pericd before a walkout could be called, would be issued later.
 The company offer was made an hour earlier by John s. Bugas, Fords industrial relations director, who said that the increase would be equivalent to 12.4 per cent.
 Tied to the Ford proposal was a condition that the raise would not become effective until car and truck production reaches or exceeds 80,000 units.
 Fords offer topped the strike bound General Motors Corpora tion's offer to the JAW of l3 1-2 cents per hour, or 10 per cent, al- though the GM raise would become effective immediately upon the end of the 28-day old strike which has tied up 93 GM plants over the na~ tion.

TOKYO, Nov. 10. - Javanese
trained in discomfort" in a
Japanese pan-Asiatic propa-
ganda school in Tokyo are re-
sponsible for present fighting in
the Netherlands Indies, the
American chief Of counterintel-
ligence here asserted today.
The japanese school "left intel
lectual land mines which are going
of now and will for some time to
come" said Brig. Gen. Elliot R.
Thorpe at press conference.
In addition to Javanese, pupils at
the School for Greater East Asia
Culture" included Malayans, Chi
nese, Koreans, Manchurians, Bur-
mese and Filipinos, he said. The
school was conducted in American
built st. Paul's University.
Graduates were sent out to try
to drive wedge between the Allies
by arousing native populations to
revolt against colonial rule, on the
theory that they would inspire the
pity of some Allied nations for the
underdog.
The general said the program was
far more successful than the jap
anese realized, but the results came
after the war.
The propaganda did not have a
chance to become effective in the
Philippines, Gen. Thorpe said.
Some propagandists already have
been arrested and returned to their
various Asiatic governments, but
hundreds of others have not yet
been apprehended, because they
won't get three square meals day
from u.s. as some collaborationists
in the Philippines did while loyal
Filipinos went hungry.

Child Character Motives
Neglected, SAYS Hoover

FBI Director j. Edgar Hoover was
quoted today by w. Roy Breg,
executive secretary of Allied Youth,
Inc, as declaring that millions of
adults are evading their RESPONSE
bilitieS toward youth"
Mr.. Hoover, explaining his criti-
cism in letter to Mr.. Breg, stated
that far too many parents seem
satisfied if their children manage
to keep out of the tolls of the law.
Parents fail to give the child
motives, through character training,
which will turn his interests to
worthwhile activities and defeat the
influence that forces of crime might
otherwise have" Mr.. Hoover was
quoted as saying.
Eventually the child may sue
cumb if he has nothing stronger to
motivate him than the casual wish
of parents that he keep out of
trouble
1--WE need today more parents with
high ambitions for their children.
These will be parents who earnestly
seek to build their children into sub
stantial citizens of tomorrow. This
is the principal answer to the rising
tide OF Juvenile delinquency"
