Auto Workers Head Rops
Kruo's War Job Statement

DETROIT, May II pr. j.
Thomas, president of the United
Automobile Workers (CIO), made
public today letter addressed to
J. A. Krug, chairman of tn War
Production Board, in which the
union head criticized a statement,
attributed to Mr.. Krug. that 300. 1000
workers now in Detroit will have
to find work elsewhere.
Asserting that he hoped Mr. Krug
had been 'misquoted in this mat
ter" Thomas said:
The reconversion problems of
Detroit and the country are not 60
ing to be solved by the dangerously
simple expedient of sending war
workers back where they came
from. You can't cure unemploy-
ment by spreading it throughout the
country. -
THE job Of reconversion for
which the War Production Board
has responsibility is that of plan
ming a changeover from our war
economy to peacetime economy of
full employment or 10000, 900 jobs.
To talk of cutting 100000 workers
out of Detroit jobs is to assume that
your own agency is going to fail,
and fail dismally, in this work"

Church Of England Eases
Restrictions on Marriage
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 1.-THE Church
of England's Lower House of Convo-
cation of Canterbury yesterday ap-
proved proposals to ease restrictions
on marriages of certain in-law rela-
tives.
The upper house was informed by
the Archbishop of Canterbury of the
proposals which would make it pos
sible for man to wed his sister in
law or niece-in-law, and for a
woman to marry nephew-in-law.
The proposals, entailing a revi-
sion of the table of kindred and af-
finity on the Book of Common
Prayer, were opposed by Canon c. E.
NJ Fry of Oxford, who said he
thought it very wrong to withdraw
the prohibition about a deceased
wife's sister"
"A great many of U.s." he said,
know of cases where the wife grows
ole rather. faster than her husband
She. becomes rather faded.
Her husband is not bad sort of
man, but he is amorous. His wife
has a younger attractive sister. He
likes to 60 for long walks with her
and his wife becomes uneasy about
the friendship. Is It worthwhile to
bring discord into the family7"

troll then spotted a trail that led to
the quarry and saw German officer
and two enlisted men.
When 1t Handle called to them

Suddenly Lorenz, one of the press
chiefs, burst into the chamber with
out knocking and ran across the
room,' Herrgesell said. He held
DNB bulletin in his hand and
cried out: 'Fuehrer, great news,
Roosevelt is dead
Hitler leaped to his feet, grabbed
the bulletin from Lorenz's hands

a queer fire. His expression was
maniacal. Then he began to laugh.
1t was hideous. He walked up and
down the room waving his arms and
The room echoed with
crazy laughter.
Suddenly he stopped laughing.
Then a spasm of laughter grippedl
him again. And he threw himself

Commons today the San Francisco
Conference was proceeding better
in many respects than we antici-
pated."

difficulties viii be overcome and the
charter agreed upon will be a better

Mr.. Eden told Commons, however,
that with regard to the general
international situation there are a
number of serious and disquieting
issues, some of them urgent"
Il would like an opportunity to
talk these over with the Prime Min

He said the conferences he had
with President Truman and Under
secretary of State Grew were most
useful to me s' and revealed how
intimate is the understanding be-
tween our two countries and how
closely similar is our approach to
the problems of the modern world.

Labor Adds lis Plea
For Swift Return
Of Auto Industry
By the Associated Press.

os tue noSOShesCo EtCSss
Labor took up the plea today
for swift reconversion of the
automobile industry, as the Gov
ernment indicated 100000 cars
will be turned out this year.
The industry's Labor Advisory
Committee went before War Pro-
duction Board executives to empha-
size, as manufacturers did yester-
day, that serious unemployment
may develop If the go-ahead is long
delayed
WPB told the producers it agrees
and promised a green light "as soon
as possible" but not before July /.
Manufacturers submitted a rec
ommendation that they be allowed
to build at least 100000 cars in the
part Of l945 remaining, when con-
trolls are eased. To this WPB's auto
reconversion boss, Henry p. Nelson,
replied
THAT looks like a pretty good ap-
proach right now on the basis of
the materials supply outlook"
100000 Cars Early in 1916.
Mr.. Nelson told a news confer
ence that production during the
first three months of next year
probably would reach about 400 900
cars. He added there is little like
lihood OF many cars being produced
before the latter part of this year.
He said that in order to get un-
der way quickly the auto manufac-
turers have volunteered to do with
out preference ratings on materials.
The industry, he said, wants to de-
pend on its ingenuity to find substi-
tutes for scarce items, with the ex-
ception of tires.
WPB, Mr.. Nelson said, has agreed
to help provide tires when the
time comes" Textiles, tin, lead and
paint chemicals are among scarce
commodities the auto makers need.
Both Mr.. Nelson and industry
representatives emphasized that the
use of substitute materials in no
way will lower the quality of the
first cars produced.
There is universal understand
ing" Mr.. Nelson asserted that
something must be done to release
passenger cars at as early a date
as possible to relieve the projected
unemployment situation"
Job Threat to Be Met.
The threat of joblessness, as a re-
suit of munitions cutbacks, exists in
Detroit and other auto centers, he
added.
Mr.. Nelson said that all automo-
bile reconversion planning thus far
has been based on production rate
OF about 100000 cars next year.
This Is about half of the prewar
rate and 4.o0O.oo shy of the mark
expected when all controls are
lifted. after Japan's defeat.
No passenger autos have been
turned out since February, 1912,
when the $4,000 supply on hand
was frozen for rationing to essential
users. Fewer than 5000 of those
cars remain. WPB has said ration
ing will be continued until produc-
ton hits a rate Of at least loo, 900
a month
WPB said all manufacturers would
get the green light at the same time,
but neither Mr. Nelson nor the in
dustry representatives could predict
how soon after the first cars would
appear.
One thing. however. is certain:
They will be different than the
1912 models" said George Romney,
managing director of the Automo-
tive War Council.

Jap Reinforcements
Push Chinese Troops
From Port Of Foochow
BY the Associated Press.

CHUNGKING, May 1.-THE
Chinese command said tonight that
its troops were forced to withdraw
from the East China port of Foo
chow Tuesday night when the Japa-
nese threw large numbers of REIN
forcements into the five-day battle.
Foochow, an old treaty port, is on
section of the China coast on
which American expeditionary
forces may land some day. The
Chinese said they fought into the
city last Friday and inflicted 4OC
casualties.
Chinese Combat Command head
quarters earlier reported that an
American observer had found in
creasing evidence that enemy mo-
rale has suffered heavily from un-
expected reverseS" in Human Prov
ince.
Praises Chinese Morale.
The Americans report praised
the morale and fighting spirit of
the Chinese who turned back the
japanese drive toward the Amer
ican air base at Chihkiang. 1t said
the aggressive Chinese defensive
and counteroffensive tactics in HUI
nan surprised the japanese and
provided psychological as we'll as
physical factor in breaking down
the enemy advance
japanese troops left much heavy
equipment and supplies behind, the
report said. Chinese troops did not
capture much food nor ammuni-
ton, however, confirming that
American 14th Air Force planes and
Chinese inf1ltration tactics had
hampered enemy supply efforts.
One Chinese unit personally OBJ
served by the American officer had
fought hard for 70 hours with very
little food and still was in good
spirits. Members of the unit said
they had been too busy to eat.
Transport Chinese Wounded.
American contributions to Chinese
included the close co-opera-
tion given by American planes and
assistance in removing
Chinese wounded to the rear in
vehicles. The Chinese
Combat Command is under Mai.
Gen. Robert B. Mcclure, a veteran
of the Southwest Pacific campaign.
Fourteenth Air Force fighters and
bombers continued their attacks
yesterday over a wide area on Japa-
nese supplies, troops and communi-
cations, damaging six locomotives
on railroads in the Yellow River
area, an American Army communi-
que said.
Five enemy vessels were destroyed
and five others were damaged in
attacks on river shipping on the
Yangtze and in the Slang corridor.
Censorship today permitted the
disclosure that the new Chinese 9Th
Army, which played an important
part in the Burma campaign to
open the India China supply road,
