Liquid Stainless Steel
Developed for PAINTING

NEW YORK-A liquid form of
stainless steel has been developed
that may be sprayed or brushed

proof and waterproof surface.
A quick drying solution holds
particles of the steel in suspeu-

an almost-continuous metal sur

GE Grants 9-Cent Boost
To $4,000 in UE Union
BY the Associated Pre.s

NEW YORK, May 18.-The
General Electric Co. has agreed
to a wage increase of 9 cents an
hour for about $4,000 members of
the United Electrical Workers
Union, independent.
Agreement on the increase. ret
roactive to March Is, was an
nounced last night.
An increase of 8 cents an hour
was granted recently to about
10000 GE members of the rival
C1O international Union of Elec-
trical Workers.
The present average wage in
GE plants in a number of States
has been about $1.80 an hour.
The UE, which originally de-
manded a boost of 80 cents an
hour, called the 8 cents "unsatis-
factory" The union said, how
ever. that it would accept that
amount and continue to fight for
several non-wage benefits for its
members.

equal to high-velocity artillery
shells are being launched from an
isolated beach here in tests de-

first time.
Miniature fighters and bombers

up to II or Is feet, are flashing
out over the Atlantic shadows
swiftly enough to be invisible ex-

The shapes of the small l-scale
planes and missiles are varied, but
all reveal a trend toward longer
sharper-pointed fuselages anc
thinner, shorter wings swept back
at far more radical angles.

Last Tuesday the District Office
warned $50 owners of eating places
they must file statements by to-
day or face injunction suits. Off,

Ford 70 Lay OFF 10000
Within 7 Months Due
To Steel Cutbacks
By the Assoeiaisd Press

DETROIT. May 18.-Cutbaeks in
the auto industry's steel consump-
tion, ordered by the National Pro-
duction Authority. will mean lay
offs for about 10000 Ford Motor
Co. workers within the next so
days.
Henry Ford II referred to the
materials cutbacks as production
cuts" for the car industry, and
said that without the layoffs "our
production costs would be prohibi-
tive
He also called for more realism
in implementing the combined
civilian military production pro-
gram.
Because of necessary tooling to
get defense jobs under way, eve
can't rehire these people for many
months" Mr.. Ford told the Ma
tional Industrial Association here
yesterday.
Agrees With United States Goal.
Continuing, the Ford president
said:
AT Ford, we're eager to take or
all of this two-fold civilian-de-
fense program we can carry. Ano
all of us are in complete agree
ment with the necessity for the
tremendous goals that have been
set up by Defense Mobilizel
Charles E. Wilson.
But 1 believe that before we
can even make a fair start on the
job, there must be a lot more
realism in the approach to the
problem on the part of some OF
those in Washington.
If this assignment is to be
carried out successfully, we must
be freed as soon as possible OF
uncertainty and confusion and
trial balloons-such trial balloons
as the recent Washington-born
rumor that told us that steel for
automotive production in the Sec
ond quarter was to be cut 40 per
cent. Forty per cent was the
rumor; 20 per cent was the fact
and we can't plan our business on
rumors."
Cites NPA Requirement.
Ford asserted that National
Production Authority officials re-
Gently said third-quarter require
ments for defense and defense
related production added up to
26 million tons of finished stee
production.
The fact is" he added. "that
the steel industry can only supply
some 20 million tons for the thirc
quarter. And this 26 million tor
requirement.. mind you, did moi
include any steel for consumer
durable good such as passenger
cars, household appliances ane
Others"
The scope of controlled materials
program activities, Mr.. Ford said
should be determined very care
fully. Let's not, for instance, have
IS per cent control of steel in q
defense effort that demands only
Is to 20 per cent of our total
production, he said.
Would Hit Small Business.
"Obviously. We must have Ger
tain controls to do the twin jobs
of meeting military and civilian
needs at one and the same time
But these controls should be ap-
piled as. if and when they are
needed-and not before"
Mr.. Ford noted that during
World War II. 16 per cent of the
