AUTO PRODUCTION
CUT 5000 UNITS
Ford To Lay Off $4,000
Workers AS Parts Sup
plies Decrease

DETROIT, April 17.-P)- The
meager output OF the nations auto
mobile assembly plants will be cut
by about 5000 units this week by
the shut down of the Ford Motor
company startir Wednesday.
In announcing that $4,000 OF its
production workers would be laid
off commencing Wednesday night
the company said it was due to a
steel shortage and lack of parts
from supplier plants affected by
strikes.
Runs Gamut
The shortage, said a company
statement run the gamut from
motor blocks to nails"
First to be affected by the shut
down was the connpany's Lincoln
plant, where production was sus-
pended indefinitely.
The big rouge plant in nearby
Dearborn will close Thursday night,
but probably will reopen Monday.
First With Car
The Ford company was the first
car maker to bring out postwar
automobile, rolling it off its as
sembly lines at the Rouge plant
last July 3. Parts shortages and in
terruptions to its materials sup
plies since then have closed down
the big plant repeatedly, with the
result that in nearly 10 months
Ford has assembled only about
235, 900 cars and trucks. In normal
times that would be about eight
weeks production for Ford.

Laborites Summoned
To Caucus on Revolt
BY the Assoeioied Press

LONDON, Nov. 28.-Labor nen1-
bers of the House of Commons were
summoned to a caucus today at
which party leaders were expected
to deal out stern rebuke for the
recent revolt" against. Foreign Sec
retary Bevin's foreign policy.
The Labor leadership was UNDER
stood to be particularly incensed
that some 94 Laborite MPs-almost
q quarter of the party's membership
In the House of Commons-had abb
stained from participating IN the
vote of confidence accorded Mr..
Bevin November Is.
The abstainers included 81 who
signed resolution urging that the
Labor Governments foreign policy
be recast on Socialist" basis
charting a middle course between
Russia and the United States.
The National executive of the La
Dor Party considered the situation
last night and was reported to have
sent a "stern" recommendation to
today's meeting.
Most political observers doubted
that the party would go to the ex-
treme length Of suspending or ex-
pelling rebels" who absented them
selves or remained seated while the
opposition joined the rest OF the
party to give MIR. Bevin a 353-to-o
vote of confidence. The abstentions
technically did not violate party dis
eipline, relaxed since labor's over
whelming victory in the 1945 general
elections.
However, it was generally predict
ed that restoration of standing or
ders" requiring strict hewing to
the party line in debate would be an
almost certain result of the caucus

Symphony Hit Parade Debut
Features Szigeti, Violinist
BY Alice Eversmon

The Symphony Hit Parade, maxi
ing its debut last night in Consti-
tuticn Hall, starred its concert with
two performances by the eminent
violinist, Joseph Szigeti. These
were put into the portion of the
program that made concessions to
the more serious minded music pa
irons, the remainder being predoni-
nently of an entertainment char
acter AS 1t was, the program was
not entirely according to the plan
to be followed in subsequent con-
certs of the Hit Parade series, for
time was short for the balloting
that will determine what the public
wishes TO hear the National SYM
phony play.
The concert was asdecided success.
The audience was not capacity one
although graced by the presence of
Mrs. Harry Truman and her party.
It was deeply responsive, however. to
the fine playing the orchestra did
under DR.. Hans Kindler's inspiration
and especially SO to Mr.. Szigeti's
performance. His numbers con-
sisted of Beethoven's Romance in
G Major, Op. 40," and the Mendels-
Sohn concerto.
In general, there is but one way
to play the Mendelssohn violin con-
certo and the problem Of giving it
fresh significance lies in the hands
of the artist. Mr.. Szigeti played it
with eloquence and great tenderness
and thereby gave it vernal quality
that burst occasionally into quick
ened utterance, persuasive and glow
ing, Under his fingers the violin
truly sings and the opening meas
ures, often roughly declaimed, were
set in fsong-like mold. The lyric
ism of his tone in the andante cast
d spell over the audience from which
it made no effort, to emerge at the
end of the movement. 1t danced
lightly and with complete security
in intonation through the final
allegro which Mr.. Szigeti kept at q
moderate pace.
The full employment of the purity
Evening star., 1946-11-28

and refinement both OF his tone and
his artistry was had In the Bee
tfoven Romance each phrase Of
which was delivered with exquisite
care that emphasized It's serenity.
Six or seven recalls followed the
conclusion OF his numbers, the ar
tist bringing out DR.. Kinder to
receive his share of the ovation.
The conductor gave another hear
ing to his orchestral arrangement Of
Chopin's "Polcnaise, op. So" with the
same success as at previous per-
fornances. Then followed the more
popular works. the ssSatirical Polka
from Shostakovici1's "The Golden
Age" Gould's American Salute, !"
fsAsa's Death and "Anitra's Dance
from Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite, !"
ending with the colorful 3Capriccio
Espagnole" of Rinsky Korsakoff.
The Symphony Hit Parade definite
ly made a hit with the audience
and the other promised concerts
will give it more opportunity to
live up to its name.

Negro c. of C..
Closes Very
Successful Year

Meeting Tuesday night in the
Chapel of the Frazier Collins Flu
neral Home, the Jackson Negro
Chamber of Commerce listened
with pride to the report of it's pres
ident, Mr.. Walter H. Williams, as
he summed up the years work. Mr..
Williams and his administration
are due much praise for the work
carried on, despit the war time
conditions and the lack of time
Chamber members could devote
to this work.
Taking office when the Cham
ber's functions in the city were
merely a name and its member
ship far too small, Mr.. Williams
developed a program that stimu-
lated Jackson Negro merchants
and increased the membership
more than 135 per cent. This some
effort erased the deficit of the
Chamber and Increased its treasury
to mlre than 5000 Proudly Mr.. Will
liams pointed out to his fellow
workers that he is leaving office
without another deficit. In his Is
point program he pointed out some
of the results that had been derived
and outlined plans for other work.
He gave very special praise to the
members who had worked son UNI
tiringly as chairmen of the various
committees and especially the eco
nomic committee, which had to do
with retail merchants. 1t is the sin
cere hope of the Jackson public
that the new president, when elect
ed, will carry on with the program
of the Chamber Of Commerce and
help guide Jackson's Negro bust
ness enterprises toward a greater
and a more cooperative way of
life.
