--- --- Utilities Threatened
 ShutdolD11s to Grip Netl, Ei1gla1,d Area

Boston. May g. (Up) New EnglaEd industry employing l,394,-- GOO wJ1kerS today faced an almost certain shutdown within a week even as drastic measures were draft ed to meet the emergency resulting from the soft coal strike.
 Manufacturers in every section of the six-state region announced plans for Industrial shut-downs, within a few days or g wseA at the most in view of the curtailment after to- morrow night of raw material ship meptS.. ,
 The regional Civilian Production Administration awaited directives from Washington in an effort to avoids collapse oi public utilities. Meanwhile, other developments in- cluded:
 l. Freezing of all bituminous '
 coal on New England docks for
 distribution to vital industries
 such as public utilities and those
 engaged in food processing.
 ?. Banning of soft coal de- /liveries to hoilsehoIders with
 more than five-day supply
 on hand.
 3. CurtAiliment of freight and
 passenger service by railroads,
 resulting in the laying off of
 thousands oA employees.
 4. Release by the Army; of
 33,OOO tons of soft coal for use
 i'm Massachusetts.
 s. Cancellation of all special
 trains running to the Narragan-
 sett Race Track at Pawtucket,
 R. H., after tomorrow.
 Five railroad lines in the region curtailed movements in compliance with the 25 percent reduction in service ordered by the once of De- fense Transportation. The only bright spot in the railroad picture was the New Haven Railroads an- nourlcenlent that It's normal passen- ger schedule would be maintained. ]
 Mounting unemployment in
 manufacturing and general in-
 dustry was the prospect with
 New England's largest industry
 -textiies, employing 10S,5OO
 workers facing almost imme-
 diRte cuxtailment of prohibition.
 Tn New Bedford, Secretary Fred w. Steele of the Cotton Manufac- turers Association there said that 75 industrial leaders had agreed that if the situation was not improved by tomorrow afternoon they would ask Mayor Arthur N. Hartman for M proclamation closing all industrial plants for one week beginning Mon day. The steel shortage was particular ly acute in Rhode Island where oi1l- cials of several companies reported reserves dwindling fast. President # Stephen B. Wilson of the Corpora ton in East Providence said he al- ready had prepared a letter to ein- ployes informing them. of an im- pending curtaflment or shut-doWn.
 Food shortages throughout the | region were predicted by Pres ident James F. Dewey of the
 associated industries of Vermont l who said crealnefies in his state would be especially hard hit.

Coal Strike Deals New Blows
Ford to Lay Off 10000
 More Cities Plan
 'Rrownout' Lows

Washington, May 0-(UP) The soft coal strike has brought the nation to the brink of an industrial creeping paralysis" that could prove irrepar- able, Chairman Mariner s. Eccles of the Federal Reserve Board told Congress today.
 He sounded the grim warning as the 38-day strike dealt heavy new blows to the nations staggering in- dustrial machine.
 Although rapidly dwindling
 coal supplies were pinching off
 production and railroad trans
 pOrtation, there still was no
 prospect of an early settlement
 of the strike.
 'SThe situation is extremely seri- ous," Eccles told the Senate Bank ing Committee. The committee k considering price control extension legislation.
 Even if the coal strike is set-
 tied today" Eccles said, the de-
 mand for goods in relation to
 the supply available is so
 enormous "it will be struggle
 to prevent infiation."
 Sen. John H. Bankhead, D.-Ala.) asked Eccles how long the coa strike would have to continue "fol creeping paralysis to produce re- suits that would be almost ire parable" T think we are close to that point now" Eccles replied.
 Eccles said that "any OPA legis' lation would be entirely ineffective if we have production paralyzed' because of strikes.
 He told the committee that
 labor and OPA legislation are
 "essential' at this time.
 ''It seems to me-" he said,
 "that both might have been
 acted on sooner than the pres
 ent time."
 His testimony came against backdrop of growing induStria stagnation as result of the coa strike.
 With steel mills continuing
 production cutbacks, factories
 closing for lack of fuel and rail- roads curtailing service, the
 Ford Motor Company an- snOunced plans for an almost complete shutdown tonight with | layoff of 10000 workers. More cities and states prepared t enforce 'brownouts' to conserve power. The Civilian Production Ad ministration established an emer' gency control board to keep electric power, gas and water companies operating for the duration of thu strike. It was not disclosed how the board would discharge its re- SponSibilities.

WINTER ADVICE
 GIVEN MOTORISTS

Motorists who keep putting it off or who are careless this fall in preparing their automobiles for winter driving, may find themselves "carless" on the first real cold day, warns George H. Pratt, general sales manager of the Hudson Motor Car Company at Detroit, Mich
 Pratt, who is urging distributor, dealer and servicqoutlets to call the attention of automobile own CTS to the necessity of preparing their cars at once for cold wealth CT driving, points out that the age of the majority of cars on the road makes thousands of automobile potential casualties this winter.
 The continuing shortage of cer- tain replacement parts will make it difficult this winter to replace parts damaged through failure to prepare for winter driving Pratt points out.
 He lists eight important steps to follow in preparing automobiles for winter driving:
 l. An engine tune-up wilf pay for itself in gasoline savings.
 3. When your car is seryiced for winter by changing to lighter en- zine oil and lighter gear grease, also have brakes, steering gear wheel alignment and tires checked
 3. Before you have anti-freeze placed in your radiator, be sure that the rubber hose connections, the fal belt and the thermostat are checked and the radiator cleaned 1. Battery cables and wiring in elder automobiles are certain to be slightly detsriorated Many need replacing to prevent electrical loss es. Old spark plugs or carbon encrusted ones waste gasoline.
 5. Your car may need a new battery. A test will tell. Remember that the lower the temperature the less power your battery has.
 6. Leaking exhaust pipes may be dangerous as carbon monoXide ga' may enter closed cars through the floor boards and prove fatal. i T. Adjustment of carburetors fol winter driving saves gasoline. Fue pump screens should be cleaned Air cleaners need frequent atten- tion. Removal of the engine pal to allow a thorough cleaning alst is recommended.
 8. Sleet and snow will give you windshield wipers heavier work tt dc. Have them checked before they fail at a time when you need then most.
 Pratt points out that service sta tions were only able to handle small percentage of calls stranded motorists made for help on tn first severe cold day last winter
 "Manpower problems are stil serious Pratt says. Motorists wh see their dealers now and hay their cars winter seryiced early vii add greatly to their winter drivin pleasure"
