Fringe Wage Order
Keeps All Standards,
Vinson Declares
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Sterilization Director Fred Vinson
said today that his letter to the War
Labor Board barring fringe" wage
adjustments directed no change in
standards but amounted to a sug-
gestion for better procedure to
effectuate" the Presidents hold-the-
line order.
The stabilization director has been
under pressure to act in the meat
packing and textile wage cases, now
frozen in WLB behind the Vinson
instruction. The WLB has asked
Mr.. Vinson to take over as referee
on such points as vacation pay,
shift differentials, job rate adjust
ments and the like, as he now
referees cases involving general
wage raises.
Calling attention to a provision in
the Presidents order of April 8,
1943, that the WLB may authorize
wage adjustments if they do not
increase the level of production cost
appreciably or furnish the basis
either to increase prices or to resist
otherwise justifiable reductions in
prices" Mr.. Vinson asserted:
Except for wage increases per-
mitted under the Little Steel
formula, increases designed to cor
rect substandard living conditions,
increases to the minimum bracket
of sound and tested going rates, or
rare and unusual increases in crit
ical war production cases, all wage
adjustments must be brought within
the language of this clause. Other
wise wage increases are prohibited
by the Presidents order"
The economic stabilizer said he is
sympathetic to any proposal which
will ameliorate the administrative
difficulties of our present fringe
policy without impairing the OBJ
jective established by the Presidents
order. At present this Office and
the National War Labor Board are
attempting to fashion a better means
to carry out this objective"

Asks Congress
Reject Army
Navy Merger

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. - Up -
Rear Admiral Luis DefloreZ, Naval
aviation engineer, today asked Con-
gress to reject the proposed Army
Navy merger on grounds it would
choke off competition in scientific
development.
He told the Senate Military Al
fairs Committee that America S
defense will stem from originality
in research and engineering.
Deflorez, who last year won the
Robert j. Collier trophy, for his
development of aviation training
devices, pointed out that the Army
did not use as many training de-
vices as the Navy, but that the
Navy, being independent, continued
its own research.
The Nays case against a single
department of national defense was
stated again during the weekend
by Adm. Ernest j. King in his
final report as chief of naval oper-
ations. He said no single man
would be qualified to command all
the armed forces.

About the Sckenng of newspaper articles

Everyone from Mayor Edward JeffrieS down to the

Anyone willing make statement the press has re-
ceived page one-with big type
fortune of money has been spent for opinions Most
of the experts have agreed that Wayne County Airport
RomuluS could be converted into just about the ideal
layout available
dead against permanent airport at RomuluS AL
though the Army has already spent $400000 this

They want clearly understood that the from the
City Airport to Romulus should be only temporary.
They say it isn't ideal.
A haf-dozen Detroit groups have half-dozen sites
they would like to be used for airport We only
wonder why.
Since thousands of Downrver residents are as vitality
concerned over the location neihborS in Detroit
perhaps it is well if too should make ourselves heard.
Air travel is just as important to people,
In our own backyard we have the WAYNE County air
port Tens of thousands of dollars have been spent to
find out that it is just desirable other locations
toned lot more desirable than most of them. Be-
Sides this airport already in existence Millions have
been spent improving the site.
The other locations simply plots of ground
ground that can be purchased at price
Wayne County Airport easily be expanded from
its present square mile to three and half square
miles. This can be completed I'm matter of few months
Detroit officials admit when pinned down, that it would
take four to complete another airport site North
west Detroit.
The new four-engned craft can now be accommodated
at Wayne County Airport Planes can land here when

were not permitted to land when the ceiling less

Officials of all Downriver communities might
well consider the Importance of this great port Rom-
