New Cures For Crime

that he had to steal to keep up with them.
Once upon time the parole board would
have packed the miscreant right back to
Jail. Those things are done differently now,
though. The board merely asked the maya
zine to change the editor to an inside job,

writer's, and could afford to manage without
stealing. It's typical of the new approach
in crime busting.
End of Chicken Thief
AFTER centuries of racking their brains
to devise penalties that fit the crime, judges
are beginning to treat the criminal as if he
were merely sick. When another court was
confronted with an incorrigible chicken
thief, the judge helped the culprit buy him.

Ford Price Cut Won't Halt
WAGE Increase Demands
By the Associated Press

DETROIT, Jan. 1.-THE Ford
Motor Co. cut in car prices brought
approving comment yesterday from
representatives of organized labor
but no indication of any change in
projected wage increase demands.
Richard T. Leonard, National
Ford director of the CIO United
Auto Workers union referred to the
price reduction as "a per cent
cut" and added:
Needless to say, this reduction
in Ford prices does not in any way
reduce the. disparity between the
high cost of living for Ford workers
and theil earnings"
The union recently announced 1t
would seek wage increases up tc
1917 cents an hour throughout the
car industry. The Ford contract
with the UAW-CIO, however, does
not come up for renegotiation until
late in May.
Mr.. Leonard said the Ford price
reduction of SIS to $50 per car was
"a step in the right direction even
though it leaves Ford prices 81 per
cent above 1941."
The Ford competitors generally
continued to withhold specific ccm-
ment At the press conference Cur
ing which Henry Ford II, president
announced the reductions it was
brought out that in the case of the
lowest priced Ford and the lowest
priced Chevrolet, the new Detroit
delivered price made the Ford

Navy Bars UncIeared
Civilians in Dairen

Naval vessels were under orders
today not to take any more civilian
passengers to the Russian controlled
Manchurian port of Dairen unless
they have been properly cleared in
advance.
A Navy spokesman said the order
did not constitute a fiat ban on
such travel. as it had been described
in a Shanghai dispatch yesterday

instructions concerning the carrying
of passengers on Navy ships in the
Western Pacific a statement said
ito insure that passengers have been
properly sponsored and cleared by
the responsible Government agen-
cies."
Although the reason for the order
was not given officially, it presuma-
bly, was an outgrowth of an Incl
dent at Dairen December % when

of the port after its authorized stay
expired while an American business
man and two newspapermen aboard
were seeking permission to land.

sion and ordered the ship to leave
