55,000 Out In Detroit
(By United Press

Almost 100000 workers were idled by labor disputes over the nation today. In Detroit, Americas war time arsenal, 55,000 were away from | their jobs.
 However, back -to-work vote of independent truck drivers promised quick return to normal transporta- ton activity in the populous Chi cago area.
 Further indications of industrial unrest were seen in reports that up- wards of 10000 additional workers either had scheduled strike votes or granted their leaders authority to call a walkout.
 A CIO-AFL jurisdictional battle in Detroit over reconversion con- struction and maintenance jobs kept 37OO0 away from work. Other Motor City strikes, refiectng union management differences and rebel lion within the United Auto Work CTS Union, (CIO), accounted for the other 18,0O0 idle.
 Chicago truckers last night agreed to end their 11-day strike for higher pay and a shorter week. A dispute marked by government seizure of trucking firms.
 Even though seizure of the Good year Tire and Rubber Company's Akron plant appeared imminent be- cause of a strike of 16,500 United Rubber Workers (CIO), l6,00o fel- low unionists at the Akron Firestone plant voted to halt work.
 In addition to the work stoppage in the rubber industry, other Ohio strikes affected $500 workers in To- ledo, Marion and Gainesville. Four thousand Erie Railroad workers voted to leave their jobs Saturday.
 State Mediation officials have been called in to attempt settlement of a dispute at the Northern h. diana Brass Company, where pickets and non-strikers clashed for the second time yesterday. The strikers include some 55 United Construction Workers (UMW) seeking company recognition and new contract.
 Representatives of 15,000 CIO Glass Workers were summoned to | w dSIlllS lOll GOIlOllOW pO CA Apldll why their strike has held up pro- duction in II plants of the Pitts l burgh Plate Glass Company, and the Libby y-OWens-Ford Glass Com pany. The workers left their jobs June 21 when contract negotiations broke down.
 Other Pittsburgh area strikes idled more than 1,600 employees of H. K. Porter Company and the Anchor Hooking Glass Comany Publication of the Pittsburgh Press was resumed yesterday. However when 30 AFL teamsters drivers call ed off their strike.
 Elsewhere, 1,500 Woonsocket, R l., textile workers engaged in an unauthorized walkout over a con- tract dispute, 700 workers were idle in California canreries and strike of 5000 AFL Hollywood craft union members was in its third month.

ssBattle For Oil"
 Untold War Story

20 the 9th Air Force reappeared over Rothensee. This time the plant was knocked out until December 1914 when it resumed production at a rate of 12,000 tons month.
 On January IS the 8th Air Force called again. Thereafter Rothen- see ceased to be a factor in oil pro- duction for the Luftwaffe. The story of Rothensee is typical of all of them.
 It was a most humane type of warfare. The plants had subStan- tial air raid shelters and there was always some advance warning that the Americans were on the way. In all the l2 attacks made on Rothensee only SO persons were killed. They were not light attacks, either. On March 3, 1945. total of l,000 high explosive bombs fell in the plant area.
 When the war ended Germany's refining and synthetic industry was a wreck. Three weeks before the surrender there remained in all the eXpanse of Hitler's Reich only two production targets and seven stor- age targets which were considered worth attacking at all.
 Airmen will tell you that when Germany could not produce oil she lost the war.

Washington, June. .H.-CUP)-The spotlight of world hope for last ing peace shifted today from San Francisco to the United States sen- ate.

 The work of the San Francisco conference ended last night with formal signing of the historic docu- ment and closing speech by Presi- dent Truman advocating its prompt ratification by the 50 participati ting nations.
 Members of the United States delegation took off for Washington immediately to launch a drive to make this nation the first in the world to complete such ratification.
 President Truman bade them Godspeed.
 There is time for making plans and there is a time for action" he said. The time for action is now! Let us, therefore, each in his own nation and according to his own way. seek immediate ap- proval of this charter-and make it living thing"
 Plans were made for the President to transmit the charter formally to the senate next Monday with a personal plea for speedy approval.
 In the interim the way will be smoothed by the senate's own par ticipants in the San Francisco de- liberations-Chairman Tom Connal- ly, D., Tex, of the foreign relations committee and Sen. Arthur H. Van- denberg, R., Mich.
 Connally is scheduled. to address the senate tomorrow. Vandenberg will make his report Friday.

 to MOnsignOr O'TOOle

Washington, D. C.. June 28.- (SpeciaD the presence of mem bers of the Diplomatic Corops, State Department, the Congress and Catholic dignataries, the insignia of the Order of the Brilliant Star, the highest decoration awarded a foreigner by the Chinese govern ment, was bestowed posthumously cr the late Rt. Rev. Msgr. George Barry OToole, professor of philoso- phy of the Catholic University of America, at ceremonies held in the Institute of Chinese Culture here.
 The decoration was presented to Mrs. Katherine O'Toole, of Toledo, Ohio, mother of the deceased clergy man and educator, by Counsellor K. s. Siu, who is serving as Charge. d Affaires of Ale Chinese Embassy in the absence of Dr. Wei Tao-ming, the Chinese Ambassador. Acknow- ledgement was made of the honor by Mrs. O'Toole and by the late Monsignor's brother, Rev. Dr. J. J. O'Toole, of Toledo.
 The Most Rev. Paul Yu-Pin, vicar apostolic of Ranking, China, came to Washington from the United Ma tions Conference at San Francisco to be present at the ceremonies. Long friend of Monsignor O'Toole, Bishop Yu-Pin paid high tribute to the deceased Educator, who was founder of the Catholic University of Peking and editor of the China Monthly. Brief remarks also were made by Dr. Joaquin de s. Coutin- ho, of the staff of the Catholic Uni versity of America, and Dr. c. Y. Pan, head of the Institute of Chi nese Culture.

Peace Spotlight
 Shifts To Senate

Chins-and a majority of the 45 other signatories.
 Connally said he would work "in perfect harmony" with the Presi- dent, as chairman of the foreign relations committee, to get speedy U. s. ratification.
 Committee hearings tentatively have been scheduled to start July 8.
 Senate Democratic Leader Alben w. Barkley told reporters he hoped the hearings would take no more than two weeks. He hoped floor debate would take no longer.
 We could ratify it by the first of August but the middle of August appears more likely" he said. He allowed the lee-way in anti cipation that every member of the Senate will wish to speak-mostly in praise, some with suggestions for future improvements and a few with criticism.
 Barkley had no doubt that the treaty would get far more than the two- thirds vote necessary for rati- fication.
 T couldn't put my finger on a single vote in opposition" although there may be a few" he said.
 Nor was BarkleX worried over the prospects of crippling reservations He said he expects any fights along that line to be made later when Congress take up separate legisla- tion setting up the method for nam- ing delegate to the new security council and outlining his duties and authority.
 'The fight then probably will come on the size of military force to be made available for joint ac- tion to prevent aggression" he said "The question of empowering a delegate to vote on the use of troops without coming back to congress also may be raised"
 Barkley said such Legislation probably wouldn't be considered until next fall. He felt no fear oi crippling amendments on it either That bill would require only a ma. jority vote in both houses of con. gress instead of the two-thirds Sen- ate vote required for treaty ratifica. tion.
 Barkley's confidence appeared tt be well founded. The last probable rallying point for opposition fel yesterday when Senator Burton K Wheeler, D., Mont, told reporters he would not lead nor participate ir

 Leaves Many Sincere Friends to
 Mourn His Passing

ronped, and mimiced with all the grace and charm of an experienced actor He liked fun, and saw to it, that the audience was amused dur ing his presence.
 Just like all humans, who get along in years, there was slow-up to his gait as he walked to and from his place of employment. The stride so noticeable years ago was missing, and the weight of addi- tional flesh helped some in lessen ing his walk But the pleasant words of greeting he still held, and used them to all he knew as he travelled his way. The Elks club house was favorite spot for him during the past few years. There, he controlled, as rule, the flow of music or the baseball happenings as outlined by the radio commen- tators. No brother member tried or attempted to interfere with Willie's desire to occupy the control chair. They wouldn't think of it; they thought too much of him. They loved his company for the com- panionship and pleasure that came out of it.
 Respect for His Church
 Church service, he never missed, from boyhood, his close friends claimed He was proud of his church, it's accomplishments and what it represented. He cherished guidance from the lips of a gifted speaker; he listened closely to con- vey the words of thought to others not present. For years he was fami- liar to all attendants at the 11:OO o'clock Sunday service at the church Of the Immaculate Conception, as a pew collector. His respect and admiration for the divine service of the church he loved, made it necessary for him to dress his best every time he entered the house of worship He bowed most meekly as he entered, and never passed with out the temporary removal of his hat.
 Years have gone, and years will continue to go, actually Fly" after fifty. as the late honored jurist. MT. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of the United States supreme court often declared: We know some people, however, who hold to the fable they are too young to grow old
 Wait and see: If there is another life in the hereafter, and Willie Hughes comes back to his own, we'll wager, his first thought will be to make people laugh and be happy He certainly did that to Old Wa terbury while he lived.

Seomen Face Bonus Slice

Washington, June 27-(UP)-The Maritime war emergency board has ordered B 1-3 per cent reduction in bonuses paid seamen in the At lantic service effective July IS. the National Maritime Union (CIO) disclosed.
 Arthur E. Phillips, NMU rep sentative, said that 180,00O seamen are affected and the decision will cost the Maritime Commission plen- ty of manpower" just as the armed forces face the peak movement of troops and supplies from the Allan tic to Pacific war theaters.
 '"The reconversion of the Mari time industry from war to peace stinks on ice for my dough" Phillips said.
 In addition to the bonus cut the board has ordered discontinuance of the $5 day payment for service in ports under enemy attack. Phillips said. He said the reduction in war risk bonuses means that 100 per cent premiums will be reduced to 66 2-3 and the 66 2-3 premiums to B 1-3 per cent.
 Phillips charged that the latter cut takes seamen's earnings below the amount agreed upon by the union and employers in their collec- tive bargaining contracts
 He said the Maritime Boards &C., tion restores an average 34 cents an hour minimum wage for seamen who are supposed to be some of the best heroes of this war"
 Phillips said that the NMU will attempt to obtain for it's members a 55 cents an hour minimum wage based on War Labor orders. The WLB has ruled that it will approve voluntary applications to raise wages to that figure to correct sub standards of living. It will order 55 cents an hour for the same rea- son if unoins and employers fail to agree on the amount.

an organized fight against ratifica- tion.
 Wheeler, generally regarded as the Senate's No. 1 pre-war isolation ist, said he hasn't decided how he vii vote on the treaty.
 His senate friends believed, how ever, that he might vote for ratifi- cation. That was borne out partic- ularly by Senator Carl A. Hatch, D., N. M., one of the Senate's most ardent advocates of international cooperation for peace.
 Hatch predicted that the only op- position will arise from those who would not agree to anything"
