Auto, Steel Industries
Linked by Reuther in
Scarcity Conspiracy
BY the Associated Press

. yeBUFFALC, N. Y, Sept. 13.-Wal-
: ter p. Reuther. president of the CIO
9 United Auto Workers, declared to-
day that automobile industry man
agement was IAN equally guilty
: partner with the steel industry in a
conspiracy of planned scarcity in
America
In a statement released before his
return to Detroit after attending
quarterly meeting Of the JAW In
ternational Executive Board here,
Mr.. Reuther asserted:
TT appears that auto manage
ment, like the steel industry, pre-
fers a restricted production, high
prices and high profits to full pro-
duction and full employment"
Shortage Brings Little Protest.
Mr.. Reuther claimed that although
the auto industry was one OF those
most vitality affected by the steel
shortage, mot one automobile man
ufacturer, with the one exception OF
Henry Kaiser, has raised his voice
In protest"
~ Declaring that "for more than two
months Senate committee has been
conducting hearings in Washington
in trying to determine steel short
aze-its causes, effects and RENE
dies" Mr.. Reuther said:
Not one automobile executive,
not one representative Of the auto
mobile industry has appeared be-
fore that committee to testify. These
same men never have any hesitancy
about testifying before congressional
committees investigating the So
called need for repressive labor
legislation.
Instead of positive action to cor
rect the situation, they announce
another layoff-with pious regrets
of course-slap another increase on
the price of cars and rake IN tne
most enormous profits in the history
of the industry.
Hints at Collision.
lone is forced TO the conclusion
that they either passively accept or
are In active collision with the steel
industry's program OF planned
scarcity"
Mr., Reuther asserted that the
steel industry, through its program
of planned scarcity" was following
a policy that will drive us INTO
another depression" and added:
THE steel industry is not alone
The silence and lack of action on
the part of management in the auto
mobile industry stamps 1t as a full
partner, an equally guilty Cocoon
spirator."

den, Denmark and Switzerland in
particular, would have to ask for
advice from their governments, prin-
cipally because they have been re-
luctant to commit their countries to
any tightly knit economic organ
ization.
Norway, Sweden and Switzerland
refused to join in setting up an in
ternational committee to study the
possibilities of forming a European
customs union, which was an
nounced last night in London, Paris
and Brussels.
AL delegations will have to consult
their capitals on Mr.. Clayton's sixth
point concerning the establishment
now of a committee to supervise
Western Europe's progress toward
the production goals they set fol
themselves under the Marshall
Plan, the conference source said.

Rebuilt Tender
or MoyfIower
Is AYoot Again
By the Associated Press

CHARLESTON, s. CA former
tender for the Presidential yacht
Mayfower went to sea again re-
Gently, her old planking replaced by
mahogany from historic Charleston
homes and even a piece or two from
Admiral Farragut's flagship Hart
ford.
When I. L. Bryan, wholesale feed
dealer, finally launched his 25-foot
cruiser Spartan after working or
it since 1889, it had not a timber
from the original tender.
Bryan salvaged lumber from ole
furniture. picked up a few fine
pieces of driftwood and made the
hull of new white cypress and peak
planking. The boat is fastened with
bronze screws. There isn't a nal
in it.
The boat is built to sleep four. II
is completely equipped with galley
and toilet facilities, with all the
work done by Mr.. Bryan. He says
the craft will do from IL to Is knots
on its 110-horsepower engine.
Mr.. Bryan said the Spartan re-
minded him of a shirt whose origi-
nal material was all replaced by
patches. He ripped out an old plank
and replaced it with a new one until
he had a new boat.

If some of the grains had not
been exported, the study said, 1t
probably would have been fed to
livestock and poultry with result
ing increase in short supplies OF
meats, eggs and dairy products.
I'm the case of meats, prices
would have been high without any
exports" the report said. I'm the
case of wheat. prices undoubtedly
would have fallen"
The report declared that while
the farmers income and his share
Of the consumers dollar have great
ly increased, the profits of food
professors manufacturers have
likewise moved upward and at a
greater rate than for industry gen.
orally.
The report contained figures which
it stated show that most Of the
dollar increase in profits is account
ed for by increased dollar volume of

In the regional hearings, the sub
committees will take testimony on
clothing, shoes and other consumer
items as well, but with emphasis on
food and clothing. The staff report
closed with the statement that. as to
food, the hearings will seek to find
out what practices and policies In
production and distribution may
adversely affect supply or price
levels and to recommend such steps
that can be taken, governmentally
or otherwise. to assure fair and
equitable prices"
One OF the exhibits in the report
gives q breakdown Of food prices in
Washington and other principal
cities as of last May Is. One COM
mittee expert pointed out, however,
that prices have changed, even since
the preparation of the report was
begun.

the report stated. "Disposable In
comes of individuals totaled sl50,-
200 900 900 (all-time high in 1916
compared with a yearly average OF
s8e,5oo ooo, 900 for 1859. In the
first half of 1947, these incomes were
running at a rate of $4,000. ooo, 900.
Statistics on Earnings.
This increase in income reflects
greatly expanded employment fron
5000, 900 in 1889 to 100000 in
June, 1940 and increased wages and
salaries. Average net weekly earn
ings (after income taxes and social
security deductions) Of wage earn
ers for all manufacturing Industries
increased from 1882 in 1899 to an
all-time peak of SAT 81 in June, 1947,
an increase of about 100 per cent"
The report states that the index
OF total payrolls for all manufactur-
ing was 319 for June of this year,
using 1889 as the base at 100.
The experts emphasized that COM
parsons of food prices now and be-
fore the war "often overlook the
farmers economic position"
Reference to earlier retail prices,
such as % cents for pork, II cents
for milk, 80 cents for beef, IS cents
for butter and similar prices which
characterized the 1858 period
points up the present so-called out
rageous levels" the report contin-
ued.
These lower prices along with
the much smaller farmers share
which then prevailed were the es-
sence of the long standing farm
problem. Farm income, in contrast
with today, was generally consid-
cred to be below fair and equita-
BILE relationship with other segments
of the economy, and various forms
of governmental aid to farmers were
put in effect to alleviate the situa-
ton"
OPA and its system Of wartime
price ceilings were said to have "ac-
complished much in checking price
spiral during and after the war.
The report noted, however, that
Government subsidies and black
market prices under OPA had &C
centuated price distortions since.
Government price-support pro-
grams also were credited with en-
couraging expanded farm produc-
ton and thus aiding consumers
through an increased food supply.
The large exports of food during
and since the war were said to have
undoubtedly contributed to the up
ward pressure on prices" although
this was termed difficult to meas
ure.
The study said 18,433,0oo tons of
food were exported in the fiscal
year 1946-47 or about 8.6 per cent

their dollar needs. Their goal was
to find ways of saving dollars. Their
hope was that they could supply
one another with some of the goods
they now buy from the United
States and other nations which de-
mand payment in dollars.
Drought Hits Europe.
Developments came against the
background of one of Europe's worst
droughts.
Britain and some other regions
got occasional rain but damage to
the European harvest was already
done. The loss for the four Scandi-
navian countries alone was esti-
mated by the Danish Agricultural
Council at $240, 100000.
The drought was unbroken in
Western Germany, where potatoes
were literally baking in the soil be-
cause Of the dry heat. The American
Army said it was considering the
idea Of trying to make 1t rain by
dropping dry ice in clouds. In
Britain the drought followed spring
floods and a storm winter that
killed hundreds Of thousands of
sheep and cattle.
The economic picture in four key
countries during a week of growing
crisis:
Britain-Housewives began a buy
ing rush after Board of Trade Presi-
dent Sir Stafford Grips, announcing
, the export drive, said there would
be more and greater shortages on
the home front. The government
prepared to cut rations Of several
imported food items and said clothes
rationing would be frightened next
week.
France-The cost Of living index
rose rapidly. The government said
it was now about 1,100 compared
with 100 in 1898. Protest meetings
against the high costs Of living and
recent bread ration cuts were held
in cities and towns throughout
France. Premier Paul Ramadier and
his ministers worked to overhaul
the entire economic and budgetary
policy.
Italy-A strike Of 100000 farm
workers, worst labor dispute since
the war ended, paralyzed food pro-
dution in the Pc Valley and the
nations 100000 metallurgical work
ers announced q two-day strike be-
ginning Tuesday. Both groups
sought higher wages. Christian
Democrats said the farm walkout
was inspired by the Communists.
The strikes were ominous for Pre-
mier Alcide de Gasperi's Communist
free government, unable in four
months in power to stabilize living
costs.
Sweden-Premier Tage Erlander
said the drain on currency reserves
had been greater than the govern
ment expected and a more rigorous
enforcement of import regulations
was necessary. Erlander denied pub
lished reports that the crisis was
due to too large an import of luxury
goods. He said Sweden has imported
too much raw materials and ma
chinery.
