ity of a strike of 10000 Ford

the auto industry this year for
Chryslers production workers struck
for II days earlier in 1948.
Federal conciliators continued
their behind-the-Scenes efforts to
bring the principals together, but

in any mediation attempt yet.
1--WE appreciate the offer, but we
always have been able to solve our
differences with the union," declared

ployes making less than $625 a i

Grim Food Position
lis Seen for Europe
Despite Wheat Crop
By the Assaeioted Press

ROME, Feb. 81. - Sir John Boyd
Orr, director general of the United
Nations Food and Agricultural Or
ganization GAO, said tonight that
I"Europe's food position will be very
grim between now and next August.
1--WE will have hard time to get
through" he told a news confer
ence at the end of a f1ve-day 17-na-.
ton conference of European food
experts.
The conference created a perma-
nent European Office for FAC in
Rome.
Sir John declared that Europe's
crop prospects for 1948 are good
and that, barring bad weather, I'VE
hope to have our first bumper har-
vest of wheat in over three years" :"
Pope BIesses U. N. Campaign.
Earlier today Pope Plus XII, re-
ceiying delegates from the confer
ence, invoked divine blessings on
the U. N. campaign to relieve ma
tions from the worry of starvation
and from the humiliation of hav-
ing to ask for charity"
"On our side" the pontiff said,
I'VE are pleased to reckon the
breadth of views which has in
spired the United Nations organiza-
ton and drawn the plans for your
institution, specialized in food and
agriculture problems, the Wilderness
of sentiments which characterizes
its economics, and the wisdom and
methods for its realization.
"In this way, the efforts Of each
nation combined as a whole, as far
as it is possible, provide more eff
ciently to the relief and well-being
of all and to the increase and
utilization most suitable for the
respective resources"
FAC to Supply Assistance.
The FAO's European Office will
supply technical assistance to men,
ber nations and provide for the ex-
change of agricultural experts.
1t will also investigate the pos
sihilities of increased manufacture
of farm machinery and will encour-
age the organization of national
farm machinery centers.
Orr said that with good weather
until spring, Europe's 1948 wheat
harvest should total about $4,000, 900
tons, far more than last years dis
astrous crop.
Depending on the weather, we
already see an end to the rationing
of potatoes and bread in many
European countries" he said.
Asked whether Russia might join
FAC activities, Orr Said
I'VE have the urgent hope Russia
will come in. If that nation should
cooperate with us it would be the
biggest factor toward peace that
could happen in practically all the
world"
