WaIIace's Support

Washington (LPA)-It is rather
a late date for Henry Wallace to
become interested in the plight OF
agricultural labor, said President
H. L. Mitchell of the Natl Farm
Labor Union-AFL when he was
told that the Progressive Party
presidential candidate had referred
to the strike of the Di Giorgio
workers in California speech.
Wallace said that the Di Giorgio
strike highlights the evils of bank
dominated farming-absentee own
ership and the improverishment of
farm workers. He declared that A.
P. Giannini, president of the Bank
of America, now being Investigated
by the Federal Reserve Board for
violation of the antitrust laws, had
lent rancher Joseph DiGiorgio "$1,-
100000 with which to fight this
strike"
Mitchell, commenting upon Wall
aces interest in the year old strike
of the 1000 DiGiorgio workers, re-

Motor Vehicle Sales
Decline 800 In August

Detroit.-U. S. factory sales of
m tor vehicles during August
totaled 461,335 units, the third
largest monthly production since
the war, the Automobile Manufac-
turers Association announced.
The August total of 348,804 pas
senger cars, Ill, ,760 motor trucks
and I'll motor coaches, represented
decline of about 3 percent below
July when 474,556 motor vehicles
were produced. The lowered output
stemmed principally from strikes
in supplier plants, which stopped
the flow of vital materials into final
assembly plants, the ANA said.
The months production, however,
was 32 percent above the same
month last year. Only March of
