K4iser-Frazer Tieup
Recalls Battle Of ~
BY WARD SCHULTZ
Detroit Times Financial Editor

The news that Henry Kaiser
and Joseph w. Frazer had
Joined in forming an automotive
company and will shortly bring
out two spanking new cars
under their respective names
was little short of amazing TO
me. / had a faint recollection
Of seeing their names linked to-
gether previously, but under
slightly different circumstances.
Going back through the files,
I found that in December, 1912,
Henry Kaiser publicly proposed
that those wishing TO produce
cars should be allowed 10 do
preliminary design work so as
to have them ready on the con-
clusion of the war-and also
wanted TO accept war bonds as
down payments.
In the auto industry, one man
took public exception to Mr..
KaiSer-none other than Joseph
w. Frazer. then president of
Willys-Overland.
Frazer tagged Kaiser's pro-
posals as half baked, I'M
practical" and stupid -

Issued Challenge

The exchange Of MerGS-he--
came so heated that there was
considerable thought given 10 a
public debate between the two,
and Kaiser even issued a chal-
lenge.
Because the two are now
partners and both apparently
have already completed de-
Velopment work on new cars.
some of their comments al that
time are doubly interesting.
Saying bluntly that he re
sented" Kaisers proposal 10 the
auto industry. Frazer added
"As an automobile man for
50 years I resent a West Coast
shipbuiider asking us If we have
the courage TO plan postwar
automobiles when the President
has asked US 10 forego all work
which would take away from
the war effort.
Kaiser has done a great job

depreciating his war effort, but
think his challenge to sutomo-
bile men IL As half-baked aS

Sloan, Ket Join
Fight on Cancer
By sILER FREEMAN

The automotive industry
would seem TO be far removed
from the field of medical re-
search. Yet, the dread disease,
cancer, yesterday received It's
greatest challenge with the an
nouncement that two OF the
biggest figures in the auto world
have entered the arena
against il.
Alfred p. Sloan Jr,. head Of
General Motors, revealed a S4,-
100000 grant from the Alfred
P. Sloan Foundation to open a
Sloan Kettering Institute for
Cancer Research in conjunction
with Memorial Hospital in New
York. Sloan's colleague, famed
Charles F. BOSS Kettering,
will team up in the project,
The gift will provide a ST.
100000 building especially de-
signed for research functions.
The Foundation will provide
100000 a year for 10 years to
operate II.

CutbackS

WASHINGTON, Aug. S-Cut-
backs made in war contracts TO
date as a direct result OF the end
OF the war in Europe total about
$4,000, 900 900, WPB has revealed.
OF the total, SS,50o.00o,0oo will
affect 1945 production schedules
and Sc, 100000 ~ill affect con-
tracts scheduled for 1916.
In its first summary OF the
impact OF We Day on war con-
tracts, WPBs production read
Justment committee reported that
munitions production schedules
for the four months of April, May,
June and July were reduced by
approximately $1,000, 100000. BY
contrast, August schedules alone
have been cut by more than half
that amount, or about $1,000
100000.
We cuts in scheduled war out
put handled by the committee
include those made in April before
the final collapse of German re-
sistance, in addition to the reduc-
tions that have been put into
effect since that time.
The figures, WPB emphasized,
cover gross cutbacks," or sched-
uled reduction in prime contracts.
They make no allowance for new
contracts that have been let for
war work or for any increases in
production resulting from re-
scheduling-that is, where an item
under contract is cut out by a
military service for one month,
and partially or entirely restored
for a later month.
Because about Is per cent Of
the cutbacks directly affecting
l945 scheduled munitions manu-
facture Will take effect in the
final five months this year, there
has not been time for the release
Of scarce raw materials in any
important quantity. WPB pointed

TEN YEARS OF SOCIAL SECURITY

August IA, 1915, marks the tenth
anniversary of TIE Social Security
Act. Through this legislation, which
organized labor fought so hard to ell
act, old-age and unemployment in
surance systems have been establish
ed for millions of American workers.
Provision has likewise been made to
assist State public assistance pro-
grams for the needy old, the needy
blind and dependent chilire
Mr.. William M. Donlin, manager
of the Baltimore Social Security
Board field office, reviewed the pro-
gress that has been made under these
three programs during the last ten
years as follows:
OLD AGE and SURVIVORS IN
SURANCE: BY the middle of 1916,
more than 70 million persons, or two
out of three in our total population
aged IA or over, have built up some
credit toward benefits under our Fed
eral system of old-nge and survivors
insurance. Some 40 million of these
are insured, SO that, il they should
die tomorrow, their families would
be eligible to receive monthly bene-
its or lump sum of money. Already
we'll over million men and women
are receiving $40 million in benefit
payments each month.
Unemployment Insurance About
3 million workers are now protel ted
bxyi nh in nd 0p hn Tn,lnpo L
State unemployment insurance pro-
grams. Millions more are building up
wage credits that will later make
them eligible for such benefits, BY
the end of 1914, States unemploy-
ment insurance funds were great
100 workers in covered employment
job insurance for the greatest num-
Der of weeks provided under State
laws.
Public Assistance. Through 1914,
The Federal Government Lad contri-
suited well over $219 billion to the
States to help finance their assistance
programs for three groups: the
needy old the needy blind and de-
pendent children. More than 80 per-
cent of this total was distributed to
States to help care for elderly people
in need AS more and more people
are covered by old age and survivors
insurance, this number will decrease
over the years.
Out of it's experience in admins
1ering the act, the Social Security
Board has recommended to Congress
hat the law be expanded to cover
.ickness, permanent disability and
medical care insurance; and extend
ed to include millions not now cover
d by it's provisions.
