committee, headed by Joe Plaza,
chairman, went TO Flint for the
final showdown with the board,
accompanied by Edward j. oCte,
president. and Harry Southwell,
vice president of Local 4.
CONSIDER DEMAND JUST
II was understood that their de-
fense in refusing to order the
4,500 Kelsey-Hayes workers back
on the job would simply be that
the strikers considered their de-
mands Just and would not return
until the management met them.
Chester Mullins, one of the dis
charged men and a former COM
mitteeman, said:
I'VE expect TO be fired and
the administrator will be APP
pointed, but that won't make
any difference with the men,"
Southwell said the administra-
tor would not replace officers and
executive board of the local which
includes several units, but only the
plant committee at Kelsey-Hayes.
KEEPS OTHERS IDLE
The board, meeting at Flint yes
terday, ordered officials of ANAL
gamated Local ia to get the men
back to work today or appear be-
fore ii at 3 p. m. TO show cause
why an administrator should not
be appointed. If they fail to at
tend the hearing, board officials
declared last night, an admins
traitor will be appointed any way.
The international JAW has con-
tinually condemned the strike,
which continues TO idle more than
5000 Ford Motor Car Co. en-
ployes because of lack of parts.
An additional 1890 Detroit
workers remained idle in IL other
labor disputes, 1925 engaged in
strikes and 6,642 idled because of
them.

E. S. Turner, head of the trans

"All Of the big refineries In

mands a general 30 per cent in
crease in wage structures, this
does not mean a 80 per cent IN
crease in wages, according tC
p. Reuther, UAW-ClC
vice president in charge of the
JAWS General Motors Division.
HOW PLAN WORKS
Here is how Reuther says i
works: A demand is made for
general increase of 30 per cen
on total wage budgets. From tins
3 per cent is to be deducted fol
a social security plan fund. Thi!
fund will provide insurance FOL
the workers, such as hospitaliza
tion, medical and surgical aid
sick and death benefits.
Another l per cent is TO be de-
Quoted for job eyaluation pur
poses and an additional 3 pei
cent TO equalize wage rates ir
both departments and entire
plants.
This leaves % per cent for fiat
raises in wages. The total amount
of money left from 30 per cent
would then be divided equally
among the employees in the plant
Reuther says the union is avoid
ing percentage raises in order to
give the low-wage worker a
break.

living facilities The military plans
should be so arranged that facilities
which they hold, remote from populous
centers, are used for military activities
to major degree, while facilities near
or IN pepulatous centers be made avail
able for civilian purposes.
Fifth: There should be an immediate
national survey of all unoccupied tenn
porary housing In former war-plant or
military areas. These should be made
quickly available at hard-pressed popu-
lation centers.
Sixth: Building materials in military
supply depots should be rapidly placed
on the market and made available for
housing.
Seventh: A national campaign should
be started at once to revise and modern
ize the building ordinances of our
metropolitan centers. Many Of them
were drawn up under entirely different
conditions as to construction, materials,
sanitation and fire control. Some Of
them appear directly to favor monop-
olies of material or construction, or Of
labor. A small committee Of competent
architects, engineers, IRE chiefs, build
ers and craftsmen might well prepare
model modern building ordinance for
metropolitan areas.
Eighth: Plans should Immediately be
made, and their execution commenced,
for clearing out vast areas Of the slums
OF our metropolitan centers and turning
the real estate over to private enterprise
for rapid and eficient construction and
management Of thousands Of modern
housing units.
These are few suggestions for action
on this pressing domestic problem.
What am trying to emphasize Is that
we must approach this problem with the
same kind Of imagination and of drive
and Of scope as that with which We met
the terrific challenge Of the war We have
Just won.
We cannot build America by drifting.

Any Friday, at II a m, it is now pos
sible to take of from Washington Air
port by American Overseas Airlines
flagship and "a hours later be walking
down Piccadilly in London.
At the same time, until the body
mind and spirit of England has had un-
limited time to achieve progress comp
arabic to the scientific strides of air
transport, I beg leave to advise you to
postpone your overnight journey to the
British capital. I say this on the evil
dence provided by week in London as
the guest of American Airlines in the
first direct commercial flight from
Washington abroad.
We took off from Washington on Fri
day, November %, and high above
white fluffy clouds unfastened our safety
straps to lunch luxuriously on breast of
young turkey and to discuss how the
schedule of our fight was outmoding
the much-vaunted four-day Atlantic
crossings of the prewar ocean liners
Queen Mary and Normandie. We talked
OF visits to the gay, sprightly London
of the late l930s and speculated on how
extensive would be the changes left by
war. There was none of us but knew
the story told in the black headlines
of the past five years. knowledge can
be far from understanding, however,
and we were carefree cruising across
the sky at 200 miles an hour.
Lulled to Sleep by Motors.
Even with a stop in Newfoundland
behind us and the Atlantic 5000 feet be-
low, our flagship was still a bit of
America. There was the stewardess
with her bright, cheerful face. It was
she who taught you how to pop your
ears by holding your nose and putting
your cheeks, who brought you cocktails,
cigarettes or all the sugar you wanted
for your coffee. You looked around at
your fellow passengers. One was a
young Scottish girl flying to marry a
Royal Air Force sergeant from whom
she'd been separated seven years by
war. Another was a wen-dressed
Philadelphian, proud of his cellar of
prewar wines and the fact he'd had
bacon for breakfast almost every morn
ing. Anticipation, romance or pride
marked this and that face. But this
was still America.
BY now the portfolios had grown
dark and nothing was to be seen out
side but stars in black sky The din
ing table between two pairs of seats
was the scene of a bridge game. Other
passengers were playing gin rummy,
reading or tipping back their seats and
wrapping themselves with blankets to
doze away the night.
Lulled by the hum Of the hagships
four motors, closed my eyes and tried
to imagine what lay ahead in London.
My head was in the clouds. Flying
luxuriously on, little knew.

U. S. ACTION TO SPEED HOUSING URGED

and take the essential action to permit
these forces to work
I specifically suggest the following
preliminary measures:
First: That the President Immediately
appoint a national housing expediter,
preferably utilizing one of the members
Of the cabinet who is not now very busy.
This national housing expediter should
be charged with moving promptly to CO.
ordinate all elements of Government to
meet the present emergency and to plan
for the longer-view action Of Govern
ment in the housing field.
Second: That the shortage of skilled
tradesmen in many of the building
trades be met by Immediately directing
the armed forces to release at once all
men skilled in these trades, who are not
busily engaged in essential high priority
military construction. There should be
very little essential military construction
now under way, and the people as q
whole, including the men in the armed
forces, need an intelligent exercise of
priorities and release because of the
domestic need just as much or more
than occupations and types were given
consideration in induction into service
Third: Extensive apprentice programs
should be promptly initiated, with the
cooperation Of management and labor,
to train additional men in the skills that
areneeded. Those few labor unions which
engage In narrow restrictive policies
as to the numbers that are permitted to
qualify in their craft must be required.
for the sake Of better homes for their
own fellow workmen and for the return
ing veterans, to open their ranks, reduce
their initiation fees, and meet the needs
OF shelter for the people Of America.
Fourth: The Army and Navy and all
other governmental agencies should
be required TO report at once all un-
used space il barracks and other build
ings throughout the country and this
space should be leased on short-term
basis to individuals who will manage 1t
and make It available for temporary

foggy overcast, we put down at Rine-

ruddy checked young son of Fire
stepped forward.
Welcome to Shannon.

His friendly cheerfulness was SYM
bolic of what we were to find in Ire
land during 24-hour stay, for, as it
turned out, the airport ahead in Eng
land was closed in by fog and we we're
to spend a night in the ancient Irish
city OF Limerick before proceeding on.
In such cases, Accommodations are ar
ranged and paid for by American Ov-
erseas Airlines. While bus waited to
transport Our party the IL miles from
Rineanna to Limerick, we were inter-
viewed by two young Irish newspaper
men, who made their notes in Gaelic.
They were enthusiastic over our young
Scottish girl on her way to marry the
RAF sergeant.
1T is what in the States, you call
human nature story, isn't it?" said
one of them jovially.
Good-natured is the word for the
Irish. It is as characteristic as ruddy
cheeks. 1t was that way with the Mrs
Ryan who presides genially over the
Glintworth Hotel in Limerick and it is
the same with every Irishman you meet
If, as I did, you do pub crawl" That's
the phrase for sitting around Cronin's
pub on Saturday night, drinking stout
and discussing the affairs of the world
with whatever Irishman is crowded

raw IRISH mist.
Plenty of Food in Ireland.
They laugh if you raise the question
of why Fire stayed out of the war.
Sure, but you don't think the war was
without the fighting Irishman, do you?"
And your companion informs you that
las great a proportion of Irish lads vol
unteered to fight Jerry as ever the lads
in England"
You buy a stout for worker in the
railroad yards and presently he loses
the self-consciousness engendered by a
comparison of his well-worn corduroy
jacket with your American clothes.
There's been plenty to eat here all
along" he'll tell you. "Beef-good beef
all the time. OF course, they closed
down the bacon factories during the
war. You still won't be seeing much of
hams and bacon, but we've had plenty
of food"
It's easy to believe after a dinner
at the Glintworth-lentil soup, a fish
course, filet mignon such as hasn't been
seen in Washington since before the

Captain. u. 8. N. R.
There are 250,000 homeless heroes" in
America today Throughout the Ma
ton these veterans of every battle on
every front have returned to their FAM
lilies or have married the sweethearts
who were waiting for them: but they are
unable to establish homes because of the
acute shortage of housing. Obviously,
the number of homeseekers will rapidly
increase as the demobilization con-
tinues, SO that by next spring there will
be between 100000 and 100000 Of
these veterans looking vainly for house
to call home.
These homeless veterans are, Of
course, only the more dramatic and ap-
pealing portion of the total housing
problem in America. There are and
will be at least an equal number Of
others of our fellow citizens who, either
because they are moving from war
plant area to their previous location, or
for other reasons, are unsuccessfully
searching for home.
In approaching the situation, we
should recognize that it is one of our
primary domestic problems. The con-
struction Of homes to meet the tremen-
dous needs, not only this year but po-
tentially in the next 20 years, can and
should be one Of the major factors in
maintaining healthy domestic econ
omy and In providing directly and in
directly good proportion Of those
millions Of jobs we hear discussed In
attractive and glowing terms. Further
more, the lack Of good housing has very
major social implications. It is re-
fiected promptly in lower standards Of
health. In social unrest, in crime, juve-
nile delinquency, and unemployment.
The problem can best be met by the
intelligent use Of the powers Of Govern
ment to stimulate and make possible the
rapid and continuing creatiyeness Of our
American system with free workmen,
individual enterprise and private cap-
ital. But to do this means that Gov
ernment must not hesitate to step ia

sert and tea. Finally, If you're up to it,
there's Irish or Gaelic coffee-a de-
lectable combination of one part Irish
whisky, two parts hot coffee, with a
touch OF sugar and topped by a good
half inch of thick double cream. Stir
the whole, drink at swallow and you're
as good-natured as any Irishman.
:. Good Spot for Vacation.
Yes, on the basis of "a hours in Linn
erick, think it's Just to report that If
you must have an early vacation across
the Atlantic, Fire should be your desti-
nation. You'll find the people living in
lower economic level than in America,
but living we'll with well-stocked stores
and plenty of food More than that,
whether you associate with them in
Cronins pub or the Bedford Rink, where
Irish couples of all ages assemble on a
Saturday night to dance, you'll find
them happy and eager to know America
and Americans. What's more, If you do
visit the rink. you have a treat in store,
not only to see some Irish dances like
THE Walls of Limerick" and The
Siege of Ennis" but even the Irish YER
sion of the jitterbug.
In the case of our American Airlines
group, after one day we were hoping the
fog was still thick over England so we'd
have another day in Ireland, but it
wasn't to be. All we could do as we
took of from Shannon Airport was to
vote unanimously that . fine place for
Z the home Of the United Nations Organ
ization would be Limerick. Ireland had
done nothing to lower our spirits or pre-
pare them for the England ahead.
It was only two-hour night from
Shannon to Hurn, the commercial air
port nearest to London that has facili-
ties to handle the American Overseas
Airlines version of the ur-motored
C-54 Douglas Skymaster. We arrived
in time for lunch. The first trivial sug-
gestion Of what lay ahead was the sugar
that came with tea. It looked like rock
salt and its sweetening quality was lin
tied. One of our party brought out his
saccharin bottle. He was to use it often
In the week ahead.
Gas Strike in London.
1t was two-hour journey by train
from Hurn to London and on the way,
a London newspaper headline presaged
more of what was ahead. A gas strike
was on. In many boroughs, all lighting,
p heating and cooking was affected. 1t
sounded ominous. 1t was. We arrived
: IN London in a blackness that British
friends described as worse than the war
time blackouts. A hot bath? Out of the
question. We're cooking on the back of
our electric heaters, you know" The cab
