''Misliti Sc pravi - mic vede-

obrnil k tipkarici in narekoval
novo svedokovo izjavo, XII jo je
ia podpisal takim stoicnim

da Sc zadeva priblizuje koncu.
Doslej me je vsakokrat gcljufa-

Dnevi so potekali enakomer-

vadi monotonosti jetniskega
zivljenja in otopi v MEM. Vedel
sem, da je re davno minula po-

Will Cause SIowup
BY ED BRAND

Jurisdictional disputes between
UAW-CIO and the AFL will
nave little effect on the recon-
version program in Detroit, so far
as the AFL is concerned, Ed Thai.
secretary of the AFL Building
Trades Council, said Saturday.
I'VE already have 90 per cent
OF the Detroit industries under
contract for construction and
installation work and we will
be forced to call strikes only In
isolated cases like the Chrysler
Corp" he said
Thai said, however. that the
strike of AFL construction work
ers at the Dodge truck plant,
which halted construction on a
81, 100000 addition, would spread
TO other Chrysler units Monday.
OPPOSE ALL HIRING
Although officials OF the UAW-
Go have repeatedly stated pub
licly that they were willing TO
negotiate with AFL leaders or
submit their problems 10 arbitra-
tion, they also announced that
they would not stand for AFL
workers taking jobs UAW-CIO
workers could perform.
While no official announcement
has been made. II has been indi-
Gated that the -GAW-Gf0- would
resort 10 strike action If neces-
sary 10 protect the Jobs of us
membership. The Go considers
the AFL'S bid for installation Jobs
an infringement upon the rights
Of UAW-CIO workers.
WANTS INSTALLATION
Explaining the AFL's stand.
Thai said:
There II very little work on
construction. but there are lot
of Jobs on installation. When n
building ls completed our work
done and the production
take-eter. think
that II IN only fair that workers
who put up the buildings also
make the Installations"
Continuing he said:
"And I would like for the
public 10 understand that We
are not looking for dues. We
don't want nor do We need lot
of money. All we want IL enough
90 run our union. Our books are
open Ia the public and any one
can inspect them at any time.
We have always done our work
and always will.

JULIA McNINCH SLEAR

Slowly, like the coveted vacation
sun-tan, the immediate impact Of
war is fading from Washington.
One by one restrictions are being
raised; little by little the war par
aphernaie disappears; duration
landmarks like the temporary pom
toon bridges across the Potomac
vanish; restaurants are being
loaned meat points; lights are
coming back to the store windows,
giving window-shopping lift;
freshly-fueled cars jam traffic; Gig
aretts queues no longer point up
corner drug stores in the Capital
and parties large and small are
mushrooming with prewar speed
and confusion. Getting back to the
normal way Of living is every one S
goal, nowadays, just as it is down
home, and in Washington where so
much of the blue printing Of war
has been going on, its nice to think
it is being achieved. And by ma
ton grateful today, for something
more than the horn Of plenty, as
the gradual trend Of homecoming
gives impetus to our postwar
dreams.
Right and left, women released
from wartime jobs are dashing off
with renewed zest for homemaking;
men-their jobs accomplished. are
putting aside their uniforms and
are moving their families back to
Carolina; recently reunited couples
