45-Hour Week Proposal
BY the Associoted Press

I DETROIT, Oct. l4.-Vice Presi-
dent r. j. Thomas of the CIC
United Auto Workers yesterday
called an automobile industry execu-
tive's proposal for 45-hour work
week an economic fantasy that
would mean simply merciless
Ilengthening of layof lists" in auto
plants.
Mr.. Thomas said in a statement
that the formula advanced by c. E.
Wilson, president of General Motors
Corp, would lead to economic
cretinism'
Mr.. Wilson first suggested longer
work week two years ago. before the
big GIN strike, and reiterated his
belief Saturday that it is best means
of returning the Nation to nor
malcy."
But Mr.. Thomas said the proposal
would only increase layoffs in the
automobile industry so long as Mr..
Wilson's monopoly friends of the
steel industry refuse to expand steel
output

UPWA Urges Clio Call
On Truman 10 Rescind
Loyalty Investigations

The United Public Workers of
America has urged the CIO conven-
ton in Boston to adopt a resolution
asking that President Truman
rescind the Federal employees loyalty
investigation program, it was learned
today.
Officials of the CIO-afiliate ex-
pressed confidence the national con-
vention will adopt the resolution
sometime this week.
The UPWA-sponsored resolution
declares the union is "in favor of
the purpose" of the investigation
but it sharply criticized the pre-
cedures used in the loyalty program.
UPWA's objections to the loyalty
program are based mainly on the
fact that accused Federal employees
are not guaranteed the right to con-
front their accusers and cross
examine witnesses. although they do
have the right of hearing.
Also, the union contends the
standards by which an employe may
be found to be subversive are loosely
worded and might conceivably in
clude any one"
Other resolutions which UPWA
has presented to the CIO convention
for ratification include a $500 cost
of-living annual pay raise for Gov .
eminent workers and the creation of
"a Government board to guard
against discrimination of minority
groups in Federal agencies.

The Coast Guard said it had lit
