been brought TO an effective close,

Automobiles and Labor

As the competitive battle between the
- automobile companies for "a larger share
Of the market continues, it is now appar-
ent that the ma or automobile companies
are producing cars at rate which can
not be continued throughout the year.
Although the market has been good. be-
cause Of bettering business conditions, the
present rate of production would turn out
almost eight million units this year
Not even the most optimistic expert in
the automobile trade believes that the
American buying public and foreign buy
ers, will consume that many of the 1856
models. 4 more moderate estimate is con-
sumption of about six million units, which
would represent an Increase in sales Of
some 800 900 over 1854. These figures per-
tain TO automobile production and not
trucks
One Of the reasons for the record pro
duetion rate in these early months of
1855 might be the prospect Of Labor
trouble this summer. The automobile COM
panies have enjoyed tive-year contract
since 1850. and this has made for Il com
paratively long stretch Of peace in the
industry.
However, the {. / Q. il planning to ask

longer provide the freedom and liberties
pronounced in its Constitution.
The issues Of union, interdenominationA
al and ntra-denominational, are still to be
advocated They can be achieved only
through the will Of the people. Until that
time comes, it appears to Us that every
effort should be placed upon developing
to the ultimate the various denominations
which now satisfy the spiritual longings
Of those who compose them.
In 50 stating We do not believe Chris
tanity should become itagnant, on the
contrary. it must be carried throughout
the world, as we have been demonstrated
by the Scriptures to do. This goal is capable

change is in the heart and there again it is
an individual experience. People in many
nations are not yet ready to embrace Chris

to revolution but yields to precept and ex-

The experience Of the past 1853 years
proves the fact We trust that we will not
lose momentum in keeping and expanding
our church movements because of disagree
ments among ourselves. There is unlimited
work to be done which needs full coopera-
ton by those Of like minds.

for a guaranteed annual wage from Gen
eral Motors and since the G.. NJ. contract
is the first to eXpire-on May 28th--there
are possibilities of labor trouble in the
automobile industry. the major automobile
companies are opposed to the granting Of
the guaranteed annual wage.

bile trade seems to point to at least two
things. First the first half of 1855 will be

.He|icopter Pad

A concrete landing pad for
Ihelicopters that cost $4,000 is
to be opened at the Pentagon
next weekend.
The 100-by-100-square-foot
pad was started in July. Plans
call for its completion Saturday,
Ia spokesman said yesterday.
Perry Wallis, Inc, of 4l61 South
Capitol street has the contract.
The idea for the pad grew out
of Operation Alert" the Nation
wide civil defense test held in
mid June. Thousands of Gov
eminent officials were evacuated
by helicopter during make
believe attack on Washington.
Helicopters by the dozen took
off and landed on the grass near
the Pentagon.
Those flights proved the feas-
Utility Of using helicopters for
fast transportation to nearby
military posts such as Fort
Meade, Fort Belvoir and An
drews Air Force Base.
But the landings and takeoffs
tore up the turf around the big
building.
The pad is designed for the
landing of one helicopter at a
time. Those to remain there
will be parked on the grass.
The Army will run the opera
ton. Helicopters of all services
will use the pad.

BY JOHN A. GILES

Five months have passed since
the Defense Department prom
ised to make public historical
data on Russia's entry into the
war against Japan.
A spokesman said yesterday 1t
probably would be another 80
days before the controversial
documents that contain Gen.
MacArthur's views in early 1945
are made public. He said other
departments. mainly State, were
looking over the papers.
Newsmen have been pressing
for the official records since Gen.
Macarthur created furore
when the Yalta papers were pub
lished last March. If anyone had
asked him, he said, he would
have opposed Soviet entry into
the Pacific war at the time Of
the Yalta conference in Febru-
airy. 1945.
Contradictions Came
He was contradicted in several
quarters. Army historian Louis
Morton wrote the general stated
emphatically at the time Of VAL
ia" that a Red army attack
should precede an American in
vasion Of Japan.
On April 8, the Defense De-
partment said it was surveying
pertinent" papers and would
make public relevant informa-
ton.
The documents have no secur-
ity classification. However, when
