For example. take the tank pro-
duction picture.
Tanks have made a strong come
back. Whereas production early In
1914 had been pared to 1900 per
month, requirements today are near
ly 1000 month. Designs have been
changed also with a trend toward
greater firepower and mobility in
Guiding wider treads.
The Chrysler and Fisher tank
arsenals are now nearly fooled for
a heavy tank of new design, de-
hveries Of which have already
started.
Another item is rockets. The
production schedule for January
called for a 90 per cent increase
over December!
Munitions production in Deem
Der was per cent over the Novem-
Der total, but still per cent behind
quotas as scheduled. The December
production record, achieved at the
time of the costly German break

work and with greater war contracts
than ever on hand to be met, solu-
ton of the problem is not going to
be easy.
Is 1t possible for production per
worker to be increased?
On the basis Of official informa-
ton obtained from leading army,
navy and War Production Board Of
ficials in Detroit, the emphatic
answer is "Yes!"
The regional director Of the War
Production Board, Carsten Tiede-
man, thinks so. There is no man
power shortage In Detroit. There
is a decline in worker efficiency due
to growing absenteeism and failure
to stick to war jobs. Production eff
ficiency In the average war plant is
below pre-war levels. Morale is
bad.
Workers are told by some union
leaders not to increase production.
Don't speed up" is the word. An
auto company executive was going
through his factory Q few days ago
when he came across two workers

$1.19 an hour, the average worker
made Sill an hour in December.
1t is a fact that organized labor
could increase production In war
plants by removing arbitrarily forced
restrictions.
1t Is q fact that a chief handicap
in the workers class distrust Of
management and the suspicion that
management Is trying "to put
something over" for its own selfish
benefit-more dividends for stock
holders and bonuses for executives.
The above situation Is tragic. II
Is deplorable.
American boys are sacrificing
their lives. Read your newspaper
headlines for their names. Your
son may be one Of them.
Hence this direct appeal to the
American worker: PRODUCE
MORE GOODS!
And this to management: TEAM
UPl
Quit the feud. Uncle Sam needs
your help for victory in l945.

This article Is not anti-labor.
Nor is it pro-management.
Instead it seeks, as effectively as
possible, to be straight pro-Ameri-
can, presenting facts as we get them
about today's war urgency program
in Michigan.
In the first place, here's the
Michigan situation of war manpower
and production. Michigan's man
power contribution to the military
forces is now approximately $4,000.
Michigan draft boards have been in
structed to induct young farmers;
even war workers In the age group
through % are being reclassified for
military duty. Fewer workers will
be left to fill the essential jobs on
the home front.
Production requirements have
been stepped up sharply. Michigan
Is high on the list of critical con-
tracts, some, of which have been
increased as much as TOO per cent.
More war material VS.. fewer work.

Howard English
Commended for
Special Mission
Accomplished Task
Under Severest
Difficulties In India

Commended for his part in the
accomplishing of a special mission
under "servere difficulties" was
Technical Sergeant Howard l. Eng
lish, son Of Mr.. and Mrs. willard
English of 2844 Van Alstyne Boule-
ward. The commentator was made
by General H. H. Arnold, COM
mander of the U. s. Army Air
Forces.
The mission consisted Of installing
facilities characterized by General
Arnold as being 'the first of their
kind in combat zones" Their
task, he said was accomplished
in the face of severe difficulties
caused by adverse weather condi-
tions and a attendant tranSporta-
ton problem"
Technical Sergeant English is
stationed in India and is a radar
man in the signal corps. He is q
graduate Of Roosevelt High School.

IN CASE OF AN
ACCIDENT - CALL
THE POLICE

In an effort to keep a true and
complete record of all accidents the
Wyandotte Police Department to-
day urged all drivers who are in
volved in a car crash to immediate
ly call the police from the scene of
the accident so that they may ar
rive before the cars involved have
been moved.
The department points out that
many times those involved in car
miShaps do not report them till
hours or days later and in these
cases it is difficult to obtain all
necessary and accurate information.

down on their knees shooting craps;
a dozen more stood about watching.
Did he fire them? OF course not.
Why cause a strike!-
Instances Of this kind are avail
able literally by the thousands, and
the top army, navy and War Pro-
duction Board officials know about
them.
Well, what can be done about it?
One suggestion Is that President
Roosevelt summon the presidents of
local unions to the White House
and make a personal appeal to them
to waive production restrictions and
let the workers turn out the goods.
Another suggestion Is for manage
ment to provide wage incentive
whereby so-called increased prof.
its" resulting from increased pro-
duction would be shared with the
workers. One automobile company
has found that extra-pay-for- extra
work has achieved greater produc-
ton in one plant than In other
plants where incentives were lack
ing. Instead Of the worker making

of Southern France to the U. S. 18th
and the French 1st Armies, now
pounding at the formidable Sieg-
fried defenses.
The 750th, like other railway units

demolition experts. communications
had been several, rails ripped up,
rolling stock depleted, marshalling
yards pulverized.
With assistance from French

rebuilt bridges. established sig
