And, by Jove, there is one.
1t comes hopeful and serene
straight from the studio of Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer in the announce
ment that there will be a resump-
ton of the Andy Hardy series in
1916. If the human race can hang
on until then, thatiis one respect at
least in which the postwar world
will look like the prewar one.
It is not much, but it is something,
one indication of continuity in hui

more grateful to Metro Goldwyn-
Mayer than we ever thought we
would be. Frankly, when we used to
talk about the Andy series to its

Because he is such a nice guy, you
said it under your breath, but you
said it just the same.
All of sudden, 1t seems to have
been cynical thing to have done,
even to yourself, and the words you
uttered then are some you are glad
to be eating.
It will be a pleasure to see old
Andy again, Older Andy, we mean,
and we hope he has not changed
much. Everything else has, some
times it seems unbearably.
Along about late spring, If there
is another late spring, we shall be
happy to rush over with all the
other wistful Andy fans to well
come him back with a great hope
in our heart that he hasn't changed

he has.
Fundamentally, you could always
count on Andy.

JAW Asks for Strike Vote
AT 5 Western Plane Plants
Bv the Associated press

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 24.-The
United Automobile Workers (CIO)
has petitioned the National Labor
Relations Board to conduct a strike
vote in 80 days among approximately
10000 union members in five South
ern California airplane plants.
The plants are Douglas at Long
Beach and Vernon, North American
at Inglewood, Consolidated-Vultee
at Downey and Ryan at San Diego.
Noah Tauscher, assistant regional
director of the union. said the ac-
ticn arose from North Americana S
proposal to raise wages of employees
not bargained for by the CIO by
Is per cent. This, Mr.. Tauscher
asserted, would be IAN attempt to
drive wedge" between union and
nonunion workers.
The North American Co. said that
since union leaders have the in
dustry's offer of Is per cent wage
increase, I'VE feel it is only fair and
equitable that employees not repre-
sented by the unions should know
the company's plan to adjust their
wages"
1t added that union leaders were
advised of the company's plan to
make the announcement of the pro-
posed increase before employees were
notified, and that it covered both
union and nonunion employees.

A plan such as one advocated by

Park Planners Back
Three Montgomery
Rezoning Proposals

recommendations on five Of 80
applications for rezoning in Mont
gomery County, on which hearings
are scheduled for next month be-
fore the Board of County Commits
sioners sitting as a District Council,
were announced yesterday by the
Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission.
The commissions resolutions,
signed by its three Montgomery
County members, recommended de-
ferment of action by the District
Council on two of the rezoning ap-
plications and approval of three
others. 1t. Col. E. Brooke Lee, vice
chairman of the commission, said
action would be taken shortly on
recommendations for the other Pc
titions, on which hearings will be-
gin December 4 and last through
December %.
! Col. Lee said the large number
of applications indicated greatly
increased postwar building activity
in the county. One of the applica-
tions would permit the construc-
tion of History hotel on the 116-
acre Corby estate at the northeast
corner of Rockville pike and Gar
ret Park road. The hotel would
be known as the Diplomat and is
expected to cost s20,000000.
One of the applications on which
deferred action was recommended
is that of Douglas R. and Mildred
H. Lawrence seeking reclassification
from residential to industrial of 6.85
acres of land Immediately east of
the B. g. o. Railroad and south of
Randolph road, approximately 2
miles northwest of Kensington.
Disapproval of this petition was
recommended by Fred w. Tuemmler,
director of planning, and Irwin I.
Kaplan, chief engineer of the COM
mission. Use of the property for
industrial purposes would increase
the volume of truck traffic at a
grade crossing in the vicinity, it
was said. The surrounding area has
only scattered rural residents at
present, the staff pointed out.
The second application recon-
mended for deferred action by the
commission is that of 0. L. Muir
dock, asking reclassif1cation from
residential to commercial of two
lots at the northeast corner of st.
Paul street and Forest Glen road,
KenSington.

Veterans Say Preference Ends
In VISA Surplus Boat Sales

Veterans whose postwar plans in
clude seaworthy boat are finding
that veterans preference for surplus
property doesn't always work at the
War Shipping Administration, it
was learned last night.
A number of veterans who went
to buy utility boats and start their
own small-cargo business have pro-
tested to VISA that they are being
forced to buy the surplus boats from
brokers at prices higher than they
would have to pay if they had a
preference on first-hand sales.
A VISA spokesman conceded the
Surplus Property Act gives veterans
preference over private buyers but
pointed out that the law, under
which VISA is disposing of its prop
