John F. Oaks, 63-year-old Sparrows
Point (Md) railroad executive who
last night won one of the largest
of radios quiz program jackpots-
s30,500 in prizes from the stop
the Music" show.
Mr.. Oaks was not available for
comment today, because he was at
tending funeral this morning and
had scheduled his usual afternoon
luncheon with business associates.
A neighbor at the Oaks home was
doing her neighborly best to answer
telephone queries from persons anx-
ious to take some of the "swag" OF
Mr.. Oaks hands.
She said Mrs. Oaks was Ill, and
the shock of the windfall had
done her no good"
Meanwhile, the Internal Revenue
Bureau computed what Mr. Oaks
would have to kick in to the Gov
ernment, assuming he had no other
income and kept all the prizes.
Based on the premise he would
make a joint return. with deduc.
tions for himself and wife, Mr.. Oaks
would pay the Government 1881 sc
income taxes. But that is only
theoretical. Actually, the cost Of
being a wiIRer will be higher, since

income.
The neighbor who set up her own
quiz program at the Oaks home said
the couple had not decided whether
to sell any of the prizes, but added
that they are well to do"
Mr.. Oaks had the right answer

that in losses" Mr.. Oakes said.
Among the prizes were an all

series of new hats for Mrs. Oaks.

Kaiser Talks Of Cut
As Other Auto Firms
Push Production
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, Jan. 10. - While
kalser-Frazer Corp. is considering
a production cut, most other auto
mobile makers are pushing plans
to increase output this year.
The industry generally is talking
about an increase this year of
around 10 per cent over the 1948
volume of approximately 5,272, 900
cars and trucks Even the return
of a buyers market. most of the
car makers have said, would not
bring sharp cutback in contem-
plated production schedules.
K-F disclosed yesterday it may
reduce daily output from 675 We
hicles to around 400 units. This
would mean layoffs for $500 work.
ers or shorter hours for all the COM
pany's $4,000 workers at Willow

Blame Credit Restrictions.
Company executives said a de-
cision on the lay-offs would be
reached this week. They declared
Federal Reserve Board credit re-
strictions were cutting into K-F car
sales.
The restrictions are included in
the boards regulation Nv" which
requires that installment purchases
OF automobiles must be completed
in from IS to 18 months, depending
on the total purchase price.
In reviving the regulation about
four months ago. the reserve board
said 1t was designed to combat in
f1ation, as consumers bidding for
scarce goods forced prices up.
Kaiser Frazer officials criticized
it as threatening a spiral of un-
ployment" in the auto industry.
Other Producers Disagree.
Most other car makers reported
they have felt no substantial back
ing up of cars among their dealers
as result of the Federal credit re-
strictions.

j. Kaiser, board chairman: Joseph
w. Frazer, president, and Edgar F.,

Paris Of Taft Act DELAY
Strike Settlements,
Ching Tells Congress

Cyrus S. Ching, director Of the
Federal Mediation and Cancellation
Service, reported to Congress today
that some features of the Taft
Hartley Labor Act have not worked
we'll and serve to delay settlement OF
strike disputes.
Mr.. Ching listed five shortcom-
ings in the operation of the law in
handling emergency strikes as
Democratic leaders made plans to
pass a new labor law before May /.
Senator Lucas of Illinois, sched-
uled to be the Senate Democratic
leader, said May is the administra-
tion's deadline for the adoption of
a "one-package" bill to replace the
Hartley Act. In line with
President Truman's recommends
tions, the administrator leader will
press for repeal of the law passed
by the 80th Congress and revision
of the Wagner Act.
SettlementS delayed.
Labor leaders have urged repeal
of the Taft-Hartley measure with
restoration of the Wagner Act, with
revisions to be made later.
The present law allows the Presi-
dent to name fact-finding boards
and seek 80-day injunctions against
threatened strikes affecting national
welfare. In this connection, the
Mediation Service reported:
!. Settlements had been delayed
while diSputing parties waited for
the 80-day period to run out.
2. This lulls the public into a
sense of false security sometimes
broken rudely when the injunction
ends and strike develops anyway.
3. The procedure lacks any way
to mobilize public opinion behind
the disputants to spur them to an
agreement.
4. Because fact ct-finding boards
must report before an injunction
can be obtained, valuable time Just
before strike deadline is spent
in board hearings, rather than COL
lective bargaining. This often blocks
otherwise eleventh-hour settlements.
S. Secret ballots among workers
on the employers last offer, man
datory Taft-Hartley step. are use
less. Workers have invariably and
overwhelmingly rejected final offers.
