|CI0 and Ford Renew
Wage Talks; Chrys|er
Farley Scheduled
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, Jan. 21.-The CIO
United Auto Workers Union will
meet today with the Ford Motor Co.,
scheduled negotiations with Chrysler
and reiterated its intention of re-
verting to a 30-per-cent increase de-
mand from General Motors at mid
night.
Ford and union negotiators will
resume talks at 1:30 pm. With only
a 2-cent gap to close between the
1712-cent hourly raise the company
has offered and the 1912 cents the
union asks, there is hope of an early
agreement. The 1917 cent figure
was recommended by President Tru-
mans fact-flnding board as a settle
ment for the two-month General
Motors strike.
Meanwhile, the midnight deadline
drew near when the union planned
to abandon its agreement to the
boards compromise figure and rein
state its original 30 per cent increase
demand on the General Motors Corp.
The company turned down that
plan and union acceptance shortly
afterward was qualified by a state
ment from Walter Reuther, vice
president, that it would be with
drawn at midnight tonight if GIN
did not comply.
The steel strike dimmed hopes of
both management and union for
long-continued production at Ford
and Chrysler, where wage negotia-
tions are scheduled for 2 pm. We'd
nesday.
Ford is reported to manufacture
about Is per cent of its own steel.

complaints have been received con-
corning asserted injustices under
the present courts-martial systems.
Complaints also have been made, he
said, that citizens were deprived of
constitutional rights in Hawaii be-
cause of wartime martial law.
"The inquiry may 60 into specific
cases or set up process for their
review" he said.

To New Austrian Reqime

Appointments of John G. Erhardt
as American political representative
to the Austrian government, which

Detroit Mayor Hits 0PA
In Trolley Fare Dispute

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Jan. 21.-Mayor Ed
ward J. Jeffries charged today that
the OPA deliberately twisted
facts in its statement that new 10
cent rates of the Department of
Street Railways are excessive.
The OPA report, issued Saturday
called the fare increase excessive,
inflationary and needless burden
on Detroit street car riders who for
merly paid six cents.
Calling the report smear cam
paign," the mayor asserted:
1T would seem that the OPA de-
liberately and viciously has at
tempted to sow dissatisfaction in
the minds of Detroiters."
Praise for the report came from
the Wayne County CIO Council,
which unsuccessfully sought an in
junction against the DSR to pre-
vent the fare increase.

Hungarian Oil Fields
Reported Seized
By Russian Army
" the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Jan. 2l.-The New
York Times said today in a dis
patch from Budapest that the Red
Army had seized the Hungarian oil
fields at Lispe, including the largest
which is owned by the Standard Oh
Co. of New Jersey.
The Russians put in their own
geologists and barred Standard OILS
general manager from the field sew
eral days ago, the dispatch said
The oil from the field is being sent
in Standard Oil's pipelines to the
company's refineries where it is paid
for by the Russians, however.
The dispatch said the Russians
explained that American develop
ment was Is years behind the times
compared with the practices ir
Russia, where 100 per cent recovery
of oil reserves is common.
Standard oil experts were qIotee
as saying that by their methods
80 per cent of the oil in the Lisp,
field might be recovered with care
but that great waste would result
from the Russian methods.
The Russian action was inter.
preted as disclosing an intention tt
exploit the field to the utmost with
out regard to long-range usefulness
of the field, in the expectation tina
eventually the Russians will b.
obliged to withdraw from tn,
country.
The dispatch pointed out tina

Divorced Wife Entitled
To Husband sPension,
Appeals Court Rules

The Court of Appeals today held
that funds due former husband
from the District of Columbia may
be set aside to insure payment of
maintenance to a divorced wife.
The ruling affirmed a District
Court decision under which funds
due Theodore Owen Montgomery,
a retired policeman, out of the
Policemen and Firemens Relief
Fund had been ordered turned
over to a sequestrator for payment
OF maintenance to Mrs. Henrietta
Montgomery for herself and q minor
child.
In 1887, the appellate court pointed
out, Mrs. Montgomery was granted
a decree of absolute divorce from
her husband, who was ordered to
pay $50 a month for maintenance
and support of minor child.
Retired for Disability.
The policeman was retired In 1899
for disability and was awarded a
pension of 500 month, payable out
OF the Policemen and Firemen's
Relief Fund. Subsequently he moved
to Virginia and stopped making tho
maintenance payments to his wife,
the court pointed out. In 1910, Mrs.
Montgomery obtained a court order
directing the District disbursing of
11cer to turn over the 800 a month
checks due Mr.. Montgomery to a
sequestrator, SO she could be paid
maintenance due her under the
earlier court order.
In October, 1914, Mr.. Montgomery
flled a motion seeking to set aside
the District Court order appointing
a sequestrator, on the ground the
court lacked jurisdiction to order Sc
questration of funds under control
OF the District of Columbia. In
commenting on the situation. the
appellate court today said:
Considers Exemptions Waived.
While it is true we have held
funds of an individual in the DOS
session of the District of Columbia
or It's offices are not subject to at
tachment or garnishment, in an or
dinary proceeding to recover on a
debt or other like claim, such an
exemption is allowed only for the
convenience of the municipality and
may be claimed by it alone and not
by another. The District of Colum-
bia may waive it in like manner as
an individual, and we think the ex-
emption may be considered to have
been waived by failure or refusal
to claim the right. In the present
case, the appeal is prosecuted by the
recalcitrant husband alone. The
District of Columbia does not ap-
peal and is making no claim to ex-
emption. In such case, we are Of
opinion that the debtor should not
be permitted to make the claim of
exemption"

tration, vacations, incentive wages
pay for union stewards and COM
