Michigan Oil
Wells Maintain
Heavy Output

LANSING, May 81 - up -
Despite the absence Of any ma
jor oil discoveries in Michigan
recently, the State is continuing
to produce close TO the demand
for its crude oil, F. r. Frye, Pc
troleum engineer OF the State
Conservation Department, said
today.
Frye said production in April
was 47,50O barrels a day, was
estimated at 47,630 barrels a
day for May and may run 1880
barrels a day in June.
The Federal Petroleum Ad-
ministratiOn for wars quota for
Michigan during the months of
February, March, April, May
and June was fixed at 47,0O0
barrels daily, Frye said.
Refiners and exporters listed
a demand for Michigan crude
oil of 47,517 barrels daily in
April, 49,777 in May and so, ATT

Tire Conservation

Warming that chances OF mo-
florists getting new tires even by
the end of 1945 are slim, the
rubber industry gives the fol-
lowing simple rules to conserve
tires: do not let re-capping 60
too long: watch initiation, curb
scraping, jack-rabbit starts, and
skidding stops; remember that
synthetic tires (if you can get
them) will not stand under-in-
flation or 50-to-60-a-mile driv-
ing.

their advance requests usually
were 10 per cent higher than
they actually needed.
Frye said drilling for new
oil this year was running 10
per cent ahead of last year, but
that validating was 10 to Is
per cent less. A discovery well
north of Rockford in Kent Coun-
ty, he said, is the only develop
ment recently which shows pro
mise of producing a field.

Harold Hayward has studied
in Europe under the great
masters Of the 10Th century
=. including James Abbott
Mcneil Whistler and
his much-sought works have
graced galleries and collec-
tions throughout the world.
Unlike SO many struggling ar
lists, fame was not 1t his
fingertips, It was in his hands.
and he grasped II with the
finesse and security of 4 man
born to be a great master.
History alone will record his
place in the world of art =.
and since he has maintained q
definitely high standing for
more than a half century g. Z.
there are many who feel that
the name IF. Harold Hayward"
on a painting will mean much
in the years to come.
Many Mount Clemens homes
find an h0nored place for his
works and the only pub
lie" painting we can recall Is
the Mount Clemens Club
group which for years has
hung in thes club rooms on
Walnut street, depicting many
leaders of the late 10th and
early Goth centuries.
But all this is merely the ap-
proach to our subject.
Harold Hayward has fallen
on bad times! The man whose
art made the small town Of
Mount Clemens world famous
has been buffeted by fate and
friends have rallied to his
support.
It's no secret; Artist Hayward
was evicted from his Woodward
avenue studio q month ago 4.
because he violated the lease by
attempting to make it his home
the only home he had. The
lease required that the studio be
used strictly for that purpose
with no living or culinary
arrangements allowed.
The proud, patriarchal fig
ure Of F. Harold Hayward,
surrounded by his canvasses,
was set out on the street
You may have noticed the
stories and pictures in the De-
troit papers. We did, for
we observed the stoical mien
of the old masters bearded
visage as they photographed
him head bloody but
unbowed!
Mr.. and Mrs. Leo holman, Of
1888 Freeland avenue, Detroit
formerly his pupils in art, came
to Hayward's side an
xious to do all possible for thi!
grand old artist. He Is now
their house guest.
On June 30, F. Harold Hay
ward will mark his Saith
birthday with q public
reception ut the holman home
where some 500 Of his char
coal sketches will be on exhi-
bition during the afternoon
and evening and for sale.
The word has been passed
around among dozens of Mount
Clemens families who remember
the Haywards, DR.. Abner anc
HaHrold and many will at
tend the reception and cheer
grand old gentleman who meant
much to Mount Clemens .
Some are planning TO invest in
his drawings and paintings q.
which some day will undoubted-
ly be appreciated more than
they are now.
1t seems to us that the least
gesture any Mount Clemens
family could afford would be
to send a Happy Birthday card
to F. Harold Hayward, at
1888 Freeland. Detroit, for
June 80. He was one OF
US; his family was thoroughly

In order to prevent multiple con-' troversieS from wrecking the con- ference, the AFL has proposed that it's agenda be limited to the main issue-how to set up procedures for the peaceful settlement of labor disputes now that the wartime no- strike pledge has expired and the National War Labor Board is about to go out of existance.
 Both Secretary Schwellenbach and Secretary of Commerce Wallace made it clear that they had no in- tention of steering" or "dominat- ing" the conference but would seek to be helpful in guiding 1t to it's objectives.
 Whether the conference would decide to limit it's work to formulat- ing machinery for settlement of in- dustrial disputes was not a matter that Secretaries Schwellenbach and Wallace felt they could discuss pending a report by the subcommit- tee.
 Their attention was called to President Truman's statement in his message to Congress, in which he said that he would shortly convene a conference of representatives of organized labor and industry for the purpose of working out by agreement means to minimize la bor disputes"
 Secretary Schwellenbach was asked to explain what interim ma- chinery might be available to han dle industrial disputes pending the possible establishment of new set

NOW TT CAN BE TOLD
PBY CreoUman Tells Of Raids on Jap Shipping

T suppose you're going to tell me you sank a ship on your first patrol" the air combat intelligence officer greeted the Navy LIBERIA TOR crew as they piled out after their initial sweep over the South China Sea.
 ''No, not g ship" they grinned. "We sank four"
 Thus started three months rarn- page In the Sarawak-Borneo-Indo- China area, during which the hard hitting PB4Y chalked up a new record of destruction by single plane, with a total of 68,3g5 tons of Japanese shipping sunk or dam aged. Flying from Philippines base, the LIBERATOR regularly covered 1900 to 2O0O miles over waters heavily patrolled by Jap fighter planes and territory brist- ling with anti-aircraft defenses.
 Tt was no milk run," relates Aviation Machinist's Mate, third class, Platter T. Gedney, who proved himself just as adept at gunnery as at mechanics on these missions. "On 12 of our strikes we came back with the plane riddled with bullets. We had two men of the crew killed and nine men were awarded Purple Hearts.
 "We thought we hit the jack pot on that first patrol, when we bagged a small freighter at Cap St. Jack, Indo-China, and then

three of our guns, and had the others pressed home their attack that time, we would have been shot down for sure. But they didn't. They followed US hun dred miles up the coast and then lost us.
 Tn this battle our co-pilot es- capped by a miracle. He was lean- ing forward to get at an instru- ment just as a shell whizzed into the plane and passed right over his head. Had he been sitting up straight, he would surely have been killed.
 "The finest thing I can say about our Navy LIBERATORS-they get you there and they get you back. They can take punishment and dish out more I wish I could meet the people who built and outfitted my plane and thank them personally. They did grand job and gave us a top-notch plane. IL had to be tops on those long-range missions, because we generally flew 50 per cent farther than the aircraft in the European theatre had to fly when they raided Ber- lin from England.

knocked off three more vessels in quick succession. But our really big day was on mission over Saigon, a former French naval base now in Jap hands. No Navy LIBERATORS had entered the area up to that time, and the place was swarming with enemy ship ping.
 Everything went like clock work. Our first bomb, a 500- pounder, landed right in the mid dle of a 7500-ton merchant ship and sent her down. There were too many targets to make any runs, so we just strafed every thing we saw, roaring along at 150 altitude. We started many fires and dropped another 500-pound bomb between two ships tied up at the dock. The bomb went off be- tween them and sank them both.
 Altogether on that mission we sank 14,500 tons of shipping and damaged two destroyer escort ves- sels, five large merchantmen and ten smaller vessels. And just for good luck, we ended up by going after seaplane, chasing him till he crashed into a building in a rice paddy. Then we went home.
 But not all our missions were that easy. We often ran into plen- ty of trouble. Once over Tourane we swooped down low to go after Jap planes parked in the airdelds. Ground fire knocked out one of our engines and set it on fire. Flames swept clear back to the tail. I was sure our number was up. We started to lose altitude and we didn't have much to lose. We jettisoned our bombs and threw everything else we could over board. We were only about 100 feet off the ground by then, but luckily our other three engines held out and got us home.
 Another time over Saigon we went in after a string of barges and were jumped by three Jap fighters. Now ordinarily three fighters should be able to account for lone LIBERATOR and we tried to escape into the clouds. But there weren't any clouds to hide in. One Jap plane came in at us head on. It looked like a suicide crash, for Japs use suicide tactics in the air as we'll as against ships. At the last instant he passed over us, so close I could see the jets from his exhaust. He raked us with his guns, killing one man, wounding two and putting 37 holes in the LIB. We ducked low over the water and started for home. The Jap had knocked out all but

Davis Firmly Backs High Wage Goals
StabilixatiOn Chief Supports AFL Program for 50 per
 Cent Higher Standards

Washington, D. C.-Giving offic- ial support to the AFL's wage pro- gram, Economic Stabilization Di- rector William H. Davis declared that the Governments postwar economic policy should raise liv- ing standards 50 per cent without increasing the cost of living in the next five years.
 At a news conference, he re- vealed that he will soon issue regu- lations intended to permit substan- tial wage increases without affect ing the general price level.
 He expressed the firm conviction that better wages do not result in price increases because extra costs are absorbed by higher productivity and more efficient production methods.
 Tn support of this contention, MT. Davis stated that the cost of liv- ing in 1914 was virtually the same as in 1919, despite an increase in the intervening 25 years in aver age hourly wages from AT to $1.02 and in average weekly earnings from $22 to $46. This constant in- crease in wages in relation to prices was characteristic of our vigorous economy, he asserted.
 He declared that the country was on the threshold of period of rapidly expanding production.
 He said that 5000, ,OO0 unemployed was too many and the country was not willing to go back to conditions making such large-scale involun- tary idleness.
 The projected national labor management conference, he as- serted, should confine itself to do- ing what the President asks it to do by working out machinery for min- imizing labor disputes.
 Present labor laws were adequate, he said, adding that the National Labor Relations Board should not be forced to become a policeman of unfair employment practices. He urged discontinuance of strike votes.
 He declared that seizure of prop erty was the only useful wartime sanction for ending labor disputes, and he indicated that properties of Montgomery, Ward & Go. and of other firms seized to avert wartime work interruptions would be re- turned soon.
 He opposed reduction of the work week below 40 hours until after the economy is stabilized at high level

up in place of the present War Labor Board as a result of the forthcoming conference.
 He replied that under the Prest- dents recent Executive Order 1t was his duty to certify cases to the War Labor Board and that the board would be terminated as soon as it disposed on the cases in an or- derly way after the conclusion of the conference. He added that the Cancellation Service would also b0 strengthened in the meantime.
