ing hall, several told reporters they
believe Mr.. Humans plea would be
rejected
There was no doubt that all de-
velopmentS since the walkout OF
l75,000 workers began would be
given a thorough going over.
The latest of these was the Justice
Departments assurance that it was
looking into the unions charges that
General Motors holds a monopoly
position" in the automobile industry
because of the dependence of other
firms on GIN for engine fuel pumps
and other car parts.
Clark Confirms Telegram.
Attorney General Clark confirmed
that he had set telegram to R. J
Thomas, JAW president, saying the
department has been investigating
several antitrust cases of the type
you mention, among which is Gen
eral Motors" Mr.. Clark added he
would be glad to receive any addi-
tional information" but declined
comment on the telegram.
General Motors has not COM
mented on the investigation, which
was requested after the corporation
asked the union to relax its strike to
permit production of parts for rival,
but dependent, automotive COM
panies.
The JAWS conditional acceptance
of this plan was expected to rank
high on the national GIN councils
agenda. A letter appearing over Mr..
Thomas signature-later disclosed
to have been written by a union
publicity man-emphasized it would
have to be approved by the strikers
themselves before any production
could be resumed.
Membership to Vote.
President Humans appeal for an
immediate resumption of work was
to proposal to appoint a
fact-f1nding board to study the
merits of the unions 80 per cent
wage increase demand. Mr.. Thomas
replied to the President that the
GIN local delegates would be sum-
to consider the plea and
carry their recommendations back
to the membership for deciding votes
early next week.
Despite deadlock after two nego-
tiating sessions since the strike was
called Walter P. Reuther, JAW vice
president, carried some hope into to-
days GIN council meeting.
The 1872 cents an hour offer made
by GIN before the strike and rein
stated Thursday lis only the begin
ming" Mr.. Reuther said after yes
terday's session. He termed the
offer "a little better" than any pre-
vious one
The corporation will give more
and more and more and finally will
wrap it up and we'll all 60 back to
work." he asserted.
Mr.. Thomas, who participated in
the discussions, declared, however,
you can't make much progress as
long as the corporation refuses to
discuss ability to pay"
Says Company Stands Firm.
H. W. Anderson, GIN vice presi-
dent, said the company stood firm
on its latest offer, which he esti-
mated to approximate an average
10 per cent raise.
JAW Ford Local 600, the Nations
largest union local, massed several
hundred cars for a motor cavalcade
to pass the strike-bound GIN plants
and the General Motors Building
here in demonstration of it's
support.
In other developments the UAW-
CLIO rejected a Chrysler Corp. offer
to extend their terminated contract
until November 80, 1916, and 500
delegates to the Michigan Fedora
bior of Labor convention tabled q
resolution to support the GIN strike.

Detroit Time, washington Bsrs.s

WASHINGTON. Aug. 27-If the
form Of the Japanese government
is TO be changed under the free
peoples choice promised by the
Potsdam declaration, the interna-
tional Communist organization
has a head start over all other
movements.
As natural elimination of
plans of considerable duration,
Washington observers expec
Moscow TO propose formally within
a period of weeks the abolition Of
the japanese throne.
Communism has a provisional
government already organized for
Japan, as we'll as for Korea and
Manchuria, at the Chinese COM
munist headquarters at Yenan. In
the United States the Japanese
American committee for democ-
racy, operating at u w. SD. New
York, has been beating the drums
for it for 20 months.
Anti-Communist commentators
in Washington warn that the pros
pect of a Communist government
for Japan, especially if Russia is
determined to establish one, is far
from fantastic.

ONLY SAFE SOLUTION
President Truman pointed out

solution" to the problem is TO con-

service "at a rate depending upon
the rate of volunteering"

President said, (which / believe
is shared by the majority in this
country that war veterans who
do not volunteer TO remain in
the service should be discharged
as soon as 1t Is practicable TO
do so.
LAW FIXES CEILING
This means that we must
start at once TO obtain personnel
exclusive of these veterans TO
carry the burden of the occupa-
tional period. Volunteers should
be produced in maximum num-
bers and the remainder Of what
ever strength is required by post
vi day inductiOns through Sc
lective service"
In urging that the voluntary

Mr.. Truman pointed
out that present laws place a cell
ing OF 2S0O00 on the number OF
enlistmentS which can be accepted,
that only men now in the service
or those who have been discharged
for less than 80 days, can be en-
listed directly, and that there are
some legal uncertainties regarding

These matters should he
