FOREIGN AFFAIRS:
Russ on Spot

Russia was put on her honor by
high American and British officials
in the midst of reports that re-
inforced Red armies were tanning
over northern and western Iran and
threatening Turkey and Iraq.
In Washington, D. c., President
Truman openly expressed conf
dence that the U. S. and Russia
could resolve their difficulties aris-
ing over Iran and the Reds strip
ping of Manchurian industry through
diplomatic procedure. At the time
Mr.. Truman spoke, Russia's only
answer to the state departments
protest over continued Red occupa-
ton of Iran in violation of a tripar-
tite agreement was an unofficial
Moscow radio broadcast that reports
of Russian troop movements in Iran
were inaccurate.
Coincident with President Tru-
mans expression of belief in Rus

CONGRESS:
Conservative Coalition

Having first shown its strength in
passage of the Case anti-strike bill,
a coalition of southern Democrats
and Republicans is being organized
in congress to loosen government
regulation over the nations econ
omy.
Led by Representative Hartley
(Rep., N. J.), 100 congressman al
ready have Joined the coalition, with
a strategy committee composed Of
Hartley himself, Crawford (Rep.,
Mich), Smith (Dem., Va.), Barden
(Dem., N. c., Camp (Dem., Ga.),
Roe Dem., Md, jenkins (Rep.,
Ohio), Buffet (Rep., Neb.), Pace
(Dem., Ga.) and Sundstrom (Rep.,
N. J.).
Though the coalition strategy calls
for an attack on OPA pricing regu-
lations such as requiring sellers to
absorb part of increased costs Of
production and distribution, the
group will seek modification rather
than outright abolition of the
agency. Support would be given to
a one year extension of OPA.
Senator Wherry (Rep., Neb.) was
to head the coalition in the senate,
where support may be slower in de-
veloping because of the need for
members to canvass their positions
more accurately in view of their
wider constituencies. Rejecting
this more cautious approach, the
senate greatly watered the strin-
gent Case bill which restricted Ia
Dor activities.

LABOR:
Auto Wages

Emerging haggard and bewhisk-
cred from the conference room after
II hours of continuous negotiation
between CIO United Automobile
Workers and General Motors Off
cials, UAW Pres. r. j. Thomas
muttered: Considering everything,
I think we've got a pretty good
contract"
Settled after a bitter 113-day
strike, the pact did provide substan-
tial wage and other concessions to
the union, though falling short of
UAW goals. Despite the long-drawn
pickering, the company granted
only 1872 cents an hour instead of
the 1872 cents demanded, and the
average G. M. wage was set at from
SLIP to $1.301s cents an hour, still
below the Ford and Chrysler pay
rates.
By obtaining important conces-
sions from the company, however,
UAW officials claimed that the total
financial gain would exceed the 1914
cents an hour sought. Gains in
cluded adjustment of inequalities in
wage rates in certain plants, inn
proved vacation pay up to Az per
cent of gross income of employees
of five years or more, double time
for the seventh consecutive day on
the job, and equal compensation for
women.
In winning substantial pay con-
cessions for the future, the strikers
paid heavy price in lost wages
of between 1873 million and $50 mil
lion dollars. The company was
estimated to have dropped 900 mil
lion dollars in untitled orders while
distributors lost $50 million dollars
in sales commissions.

Nazis had come into power through
free elections, he said, every effort
was made to retain their leadership
even to the elimination of all politi-

In recounting the notorious blood

Gen. Kurt Won Schleicher and Gen.
Curt Won Hammerstein-Equord had
sought to overthrow Hitler shortly
before the installation of his first
cabinet. In a quick Nazi counter
move, the putsch was crushed and

CONSCRIPTION:
Prospects Brighten

Because of the precarious inter-
national situation aggravated by
Russian moves in the east, congress
sional support grew for extension Of
the selective service act beyond
May Is.
With war department officials
calling for maintenance of military
strength in the face of unsettled
world conditions, it was revealed
that plans called for an army of
100000 officers and men by July,
1916, and 100000 by July, 1947.
Pending determination of the aims,
policies and programs of other ma
tions, and the efficiency of the UNO
in resolving disputes, no decision
can be made about the permanent
size of the armed forces, it was
said.
General Eisenhower declared that
one of the principal arguments for
the retention of selective service
was that it acts as spur for volun-
tary enlistments. With volunteers
permitted to specify what branch
of service they prefer, many young
men act to pick their spots before
being drafted and made subject to
compulsory placement. In five
months, 600,017 volunteers enlist
ed, with 67.07 per cent being World
War II vets, 1877 per cent recruits
and 1923 per cent pre-Pearl Harbor
enrollees.

One Fossil
20, 1000 Years Old

Why, just this year, he was nos
ing around some cliffs in his part
of the state of Washington, and he
came upon an interesting rock. That
is, it would look like rock to you
and me. Jim saw something en-
bedded in it. Maybe bone. He and
his fossil-minded companion hacked
out the rock, and with considerable
effort, lugged it into their car. It
weighed 100 pounds. At home, Jim
liberated what he had seen en-
bedded in the rock. A small piece
of wood. He took it to a scientific
professor friend of his, and learned
that what he had found was a
20,000-year-old fossil. Jim was as
excited as if somebody had present
ed him with a brand-new 1916 model
automobile.
The serious, brown-eyed young
ster tosses decades and centuries
around with great ease. Over the

Production Prospects

With the settlement of the G. M.
strike, the auto industry hoped to
clear the decks for all-out produc-
ton to meet the tremendous pent-
up demand for new cars. Because
many parts suppliers still have to
negotiate wage demands, however,
the threat to full-scale output re-
manned. g.
In any event, the auto industry
will be unable to meet the goal
of six million cars set for 1916. With
reasonably clear sailing, it is ex-
pected that three million passenger
vehicles will be turned out during
the remainder Of the year.
Indicative of the high gear into
which the industry must be thrown
to meet production goals, Ford has
assembled only $4,000 cars thus far:
Chrysler, $4,000; General Motors,
under 100000; Willys-Overland, g.
600; Studebaker, $4,000; Nash, H.
600, and Hudson, 1000.

WORLD RELIEF:
Sharing Burden

Assuming the honorary chairman
ship of the governments emergency
famine committee, former Pres.
Herbert Hoover called upon South
American nations to join with their
Big Brother of the north in con-
serving cereals for feeding of the
hungry in war stricken Europe and
Asia.
Prior to leaving for a first-hand
survey of overseas conditions,
Hoover told a news conference that
he believed both North and South
America could save upwards of z
million tons of cereals during the
next 120 days to help fill need for
about 9 million tons. The years re-
quirements will total 81 million tons,
he said, but only IL million tons
will be available without the under
taking of broad conservation meas
ures.
Of the total of z million tons that
the western hemisphere could fur
nish within the next four months,
South America could contribute S
million tons, Hoover said. This
amount could be made available by
cutting down purchases of foreign
goods requiring payment in grain;
reducing consumption, and turning
over all surpluses to famine threat
ened areas.
The midland journal., 1946-03-29
Other Strikes

Despite settlement of the Gener-
al Motors strike and the agree
ment between General Electric and
the CIO United Electrical Work
ers, strikes continued to cloud the
postwar economic picture, with the
dispute between International Har-
vester and the CIO-Farm Equip
ment Workers the most serious.
With International Harvester and
the union deadlocked over the COM
pany's proposal that an 18 cent
wage raise be conditioned upon gov
ernment grant of an offsetting price
increase, Secretary of Agriculture
Anderson called upon management
and labor to cooperate in the pro-
duction of vitally needed equipment
to meet the big crop goals. Unless
farmers are able to step up the out
put, he said, this country will be un-
able to furnish sufficient food to
avert mass starvation abroad.
Termination of the General Elec-
trio strike, with an 1872 cent an
hour wage raise bringing average
weekly earnings to approximately
$42, opened the way toward large
scale production of home appli-
ances. Previously, General Motors
electrical division had made peace
with the CIO union on the same
terms.

Per capita consumption of milk
and cream jumped to 442 pounds in

and 102 pounds more than the per

period from 1859, government fig

Translated into housewives terms,
these figures meant that an aver
age of about 206 quarts of milk in
