Scientist to Make
4,OOO-NiIe Trip
On Raft in Pacific

Thor Heyerdahl, q young Nor
wegian scientist, will attempt to sail
a raft 1000 miles from Peru to the
Marquesas Islands in the Southeast
ern- Pacific next spring to prove a
racial theory.
Plans for the Norseman,s modern
day odyssey Were revealed yester-
day by the Norwegian. Embassy,
which said Heyerdahl would embark
in February with party Of five
other Norwegian war veterans.
They estimate 1t will take them
four months to traverse the far
reaches Of the Pacific. Their craft
will be a rs by 16 foot wood log raft.
The expedition will attempt to
prove Heyerdahl's theory that the
Polynesianss3 inhabiting the Mar
quesas are a pre-Incaic people from
Peru, and not from the Asiatic
mainland, as is popularity supposed.

with closing the buildings indefi-
nitely or postponing the effective
date OF the regulations until build
ing materials are available.
Even If the Commissioners
deemed it in the public interest to
direct such wholesale closures" they
said, there Is grave question
whether such orders would be sus-
tanned by the courts if it were
shown that lack of structural mate
rials had made compliance I'M
possible"
Daily Penalties Provided.
The March regulations require in
staIation and maintenance LOT
means of egress, guide signs and
lights, stand pipes, fire extinguishers,
alarm gongs, alarm stations and
such other appliances as the Com
missioners may deem necessary"
Where an oWner has failed to
comply occupancy of structures Is
limited to 80 days and "in no case
shall more than 80 days be allowed
for compliance"
Penalties range from $40 to 500
for each day of violation.
The act was designed to save lives
in buildings frequented Z by large
numbers of persons. The Commis-
sioners are required to hold pub
lie hearing before postponing the
effective date Of any of the regu-
lationS.
The fire marshals Office said to-
day that of the violations recorded
in yesterdays report to the Com
missioners majority were Of the
new egress code.

ever, were not filed with the deed.
According to Mr.. Lillard, the brok-
ers assets total $144000 as against
liabilities amounting to $184 900, in
cluding $162,0 900 in sdeposits from
veterans and other would-be home
owners.
Mr.. LiIlard pointed out, however,
that the Gwynn Park development
near Clinton, Md.-one of Mr.. Will
liams' projects-is not included in
this total since 1t was a different
corporation, Williams Property, Inc.
I Finances May Be Freed.
The attorney later announced that
~new developments soon" may free
some. of Mr.. Williams finances toI
permit workers on the Gwynn Park
project to 60 ahead with construc-
ton.
Both Mr.. Williams attorney and
: Mr.. Kearney were hopeful that sale
of the Gwynn Park homes, once
they are completed would contrib
ute materially toward paying back
the creditors
Mr.. Liliard said the creditors
probably would be paid of on a pro-
rata basis. He said he had no idea
yet whether they would recover so
per cent or morazpf their invest
ment.
Mr.. .Lillard blamed the Gwynn
Park development for Mr.. Williams
current financial tangle The broker,
he explained, had poured all the
money available to him in the
George H. Williams Co.. into Will
Hams Property, Inc, with the idea
of paying back the parent company
as soon as the homes were sold.
Construction Slow.
Construction went slower than
Mr.. williams had anticipated, the,
money was eaten up and the cred,
itors started getting impatient, Mr.
Lillard said, adding that if the
creditors had been willing to wait
longer, Mr.. Williams might have
been able to get out of his f1nan-
cial hole.
The broker, his. attorney said,
planned to reap a $1,000 profit cut
of each Gwynn Park home. If these
homes are completed; Mr.. Lillard
added, 1t might add as much as
$4,000 to Mr.. Williams assets.
A recent check of the Gwynn
Park development, however, showed
that less than dozen homes we're
started.

Productivity Seen as Key
To Wages in Auto Industry

DETROIT, Dec. 18 tP.-Real wage
increases in the automotive industry
cannot precede increases in produc-
tivity, George Romney, general
manager of the Automobile Manu-
facturers' Association, told news
conference yesterday.
Wages paid by any one employer
in the motor industry cannot be
made to depend on the profits made
by a shirt manufacturer, cattle
raiser, or a movie producer" he as
serted. THAT obviously is the auto
union and CIO basic economic fall
lacy compounded out of Robert
Nathan's already discredited report. !"
Mr.. Romney declared the only key
to higher wages and lower prices
in the automotive industry is i'm
proved production efficiency and
more output per manhour.

Mr.. Kearney said he was very
anxious to see all the veterans get
back their money" The creditors,
he said he understood, will get to-
gether soon to decide whether he Is
to be permanent trustee.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Williams troubles
reached to Baltimore where the
Maryland Real Estate Commission
today issued a formal order direct
ing the broker to show cause by
December 80 why his brokers' Ii
cense in that state should not be
revoked.
Hearing Is Set.
w. G. Nicholson, executive secre-
tary of the commission, set a hear
ing for pm. on December 80 in
Baltimore. Other members of the
commission joining in the action
were Matthews A. Powers, A. H.
Seidenspinner, and Charles H. Stef-
fey.
Mr.. Nicholson told The Star he
had not received Mr.. Williams
license, although the broker was
reported to have mailed it to the
commission yesterday In any event,
the hearing would be held, the OH
cial said, since State laws requires
hearing before revocation Of q
brokers' license.
Mr.. Nicholson disclosed that his
Office had received. three or four
complaints from individuals last
summer over transactions with the
Williams firm. But, he added, they
were of minor nature and prob
ably grew out of ignorance" Of
some of the men employed by Mr..
Williams.
License Revoked.
Mr.. Williams license as a broker
in Virginia was revoked last Friday
when he failed to appear for a
hearing set that day in Richmond.
Last Wednesday, his District brok-
er's license was withdrawn at Mr..
williams request. in a letter which
advised that he was ceasing to do
business here. So $

troll proposal was not entirely in
conformity with the General AS
sembly's disarmament resolution
voted last week, won agreement for
his request for more time to study
the plan.
Most of the commission members
already are on record as approving
the American proposal, but Mr..
Gromyko had Chinese and Polish
support in his contention that
quick vote without painstaking
study might produce a threat to
unanimity among the great powers
later.
Mr.. Baruch, clearly disappointed
at the delay, said: 4Holidays-delays
and delays. Time goes by, then
years 60 by, and nothing is done"
The American proposal would pro-
hibit the manufacture, possession
and use of atomic weapons, require

aspects OF the atomic problem. The
treaty would guarantee representa-

enough and now must act with ian
immediate, a practical and a real

Head ofWe Wesfinghouse
Denies Profits Permit
Higher Pay by Firms
By ihs Asseeisisd Press

I PITTSBURGH, Dec. 18.-Gwilym
A. Price, president Of the Westing-
house Electric Corp, today rejected
arguments he attributed to leaders
Of organized labor that total cor
poration profits can provide higher
individual company wages"
Mr.. Price, in q year-end statement,
said Westinghouse would have an
operating loss Of more than $50, 600, :
900 for l046, but that csrry-back
provision Of the wartime tax had
given the company q net income Of
$4,411. .4S1 for the first II months Of
the year.
He declared it was Instructive" to
balance Westinghouse's 1916 oper-
ating loss against the statements
of those who charge American 'in-
dustry with making staggering and
'unconscionable' profits out OF which
increased wage scales could be paid"
TT Is true" Mr.. Price continued,
"that total profits of all corporations
In 1946 will be large compared with
any peacetime year since 1929. They
should be large in a year Of near
capacity production. No past peace
time year has approached 1946 in
dollar volume OF production, in ma
tional income, and in wages and sal
aries paid to individuals"
Mr.. Price quoted the CIO publica-
ton, Economic Outlook, as estimat-
ing that 1946 corporation incomes,
after taxes, would total lib billions
which, he said, "is a high figure, but
we hope it will prove correct" and
added:
Profits are neither staggering nor
'lnscrupulous' nor dangerous to
business stability. On the contrary,
they are. necessary SO that corpora
tions can increase and improve their
facilities and provide more jobs.
Corporations should apologize when
they fail to earn profits-not when
they succeed. - If unwise wage
demands wipe out future profits,
who then will be willing to provide
the money to keep the business
