BY the Associated Press.

strikes affected war production in
the Detroit area today as two plants
Of the Kelsey-Hayes Wheel Co. and
one department Of the Packard Mo-
tor Car Co. were closed down.
At the McGraw avenue and Mill
tary avenue plants Of Kelsey Hayes
1000 workers were affected by a
renewal Of last weeks strike that
followed dismissal of a group Of
workers accused by the management
Of ejecting q foreman.
A strike by 110 inspectors at the
Packard plant caused the company
to send home 5000 workers In the
Rolls Royce aircraft engine final
assembly department. The strikes
followed dispute over the number
Of engines to be inspected on each
shift.
Quit After 13 Are DISCHARGED.
Workers in the two Kelsey Hayes
plants left their jobs following an
nouncement that Is workers had
been discharged. Among them were
six that the regional War Labor
Board had ordered reinstated to
end strike last week. They had
been accused of forcing a foreman
from the plant a fortnight earlier.
The additional seven were charged
by the management with ousting
the same foreman last Friday.
In ordering reinstatement of the
six, the labor board held their dis
missals had not been in conformity
with the union-company contract.
The company reinstated them and
then discharged them yesterday
after complying, spokesman said,
with the contract terms by notifying
union officials they were to be dis
missed.
Union Leader Accuses Company.
Harry Southwell, vice president
OF CIO Local 174, United Automo-
bile Workers, agreed the discharges
were in accordance with the con-
tract, but charged the company "by
Its action Is trying to provoke a
strike"
Coincidentally, the International
Executive Board OF the union called
on the membership and local officers
today to redouble their efforts In
behalf Of the no-strike pledge, re-
Gently upheld In a referendum vote.
A resolution adopted at the
boards recent Milwaukee meeting,
but not until now made public,
asked the members to carry out
the mandate of the membership on
the no-strike pledge and the main
tenance Of uninterrupted war pro-
duction."

General Braves
German Fire
To Rescue Teeth
BY the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS, Md, April "a
Brig. Gen. Ridgely Gather didn't
get a medal for rescuing a couple OF
front teeth under fire-but maybe
that was because 1t happened after
his 18th parachute Jump.
Relatives in Annapolis related
yesterday that before leaving his
plane over Germany, Gen. Gather
removed, wrapped and pocketed his
dental plate. On hitting the ground
east of the Rhine, the plate fell out
of his pocket and he forgot to pick
it up.
Later, having worked his way to
cover, the general remembered his
teeth. To return to the scene OF
the landing meant to brave German
and probably American fire. Never
theless Gen. Gather, who is now
commandant of the Fort Bennine
(Ga.) paratrooper school, crawled
back and found and happily rein
serted the plate.
He had an imperative reason fol
taking that risk. The password OF
che day was "thither."

Bill Would Allow Soldiers
To Decide on Civilian Life

BY the Associated Press.
Congress was asked today to let
fighting men decide for themselves
whether they want to return to
civilian life after victory.
Under the plan, suggested In legis-
lation by Representative McGregor,
Republican, of Ohio, servicemen
would be given fare to their homes
and a 30-day leave before their dis
charge.
During that time they could look
around and then choose between
civilian ways or more service in the
armed forces.
Terming his proposal "a bill to
assist the economic sterilization of
the postwar period" Mr.. McGregor
told reporter:
II cannot help but feel that when
some of our veterans return to their
homes and find conditions different
from when they entered the service
they will not be anxious to return
Immediately to civilian life"

Argentina Anxious
To Aid War Effort,
Warren Reports
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 24.-Ar-
gentina's military government Is
adopting far-reaching measures to
put teeth in its declaration of war
against the Axis, Avra Warren, di-
rector Of the State Departments
Once Of American Republic Affairs,
reported today on his arrival from
goodwill mission to Buenos Aires.
Eager to demonstrate that their
decision to participate in the Allied
war effort Is sincere, even though
belated, the Argentine authorities
have promised full cooperation In
both military and economic aspects
of the struggle.
Mr.. Warreu's arrival here COIN
cided with disclosure by authorita-
tive sources that the Argentine gov
ernment has contacted the Russians
with a view to establishing diplo-
matte relations.
Soviet Attitude Unknown.
The official Argentine gesture pre-
sumably was made in Washington,
the sources said. It is not known
here what attitude the Russians
adopted.
1t was said that Argentina made
the offer recently, apparently as
measure to ease the way for admis-
sion into the United Nations and
to get an invitation to the security
conference here.
Coincident with Mr.. Warren's
visit. agreements were concluded be-
tween Vice Admiral william R:
Monroe, commander of the South
Atlantic Fleet, and Argentina's
navy minister, Rear Admiral AL
berto Tesaire, for collaboration in
naval activities.
A similar agreement, affecting
military aviation, was reached in
conversations between 1t. Gen.
George H. Brett, commander of the
Caribbean area, and Argentine Vice
President and Minister Of War Col.
Juan D. Peron.
Assures UNRRA Contribution.
John c. McClintock, who accom-
panied the Warren mission as eco
nomic adviser, remained behind to
confer with Gen. Julio Checchi,
secretary of industry and commerce,
on economic measures designed to
contribute to the common cause.
AS a further proof of the govern
ment's desire to play q full role
in the solution of postwar problems,
Mr.. Warren received formal assur-
ances that Argentina would con-
tribute the equivalent of / per
cent of It's national income-the
same amount as other participating
nationS-to UNRRA,
