Doubt Over Future

Despite the announced In
tentions Of both the companies
and the union to continue
normal operations without q
contract, there was doubt about
the future.
Walter P. Reuther. president
Of the JAW. came out Of last
ditch negotiations with orders
to JAW members not to strike
or provoke any incidents that
could give the companies an
excuse 10 shut down plants.
The auto companies have
cautioned their supervisors to
keep q sharp eye out for slow
downs or sabotage.
First actual no contract
work was done Friday at three
GIN plants in the Atlanta Ca
area. While other plants were
closed for Memorial Day, the
Atlanta plants remained open.
Workers there got q holiday
April 26 in observance Of Con-
federate Memorial. Day. There
were no incidents reported.
Two Pacts StlIl In Effect
JAW contracts with two
smaller car makers still are in
effect. The contract with
American Motors runs out June
Is; with Studebaker-Packard
July /.
Mr.. Reuther failed in last
hour attempts to win conces-
sions from Ford and Chrysler
before their contracts died at
midnight. He made the same
inaneuvers that failed at GIN
Thursday night. But the COM
panies rejected his moves for
any kind Of temporary extern
sions Of contracts.
All stood firm on their pro-
posals to extend 1855 contracts
for two years. giving auto
workers built-in annual wage
increases Of 7 cents per hour,
plus cost Of living increases.
This would amount to at least
l6 cents spread over two years.
But Mr.. Reuther vowed that
he is going to have his way with
the auto companies If it takes
all summer.
After the breakup at Ford
early today. Mr.. Reuther told
newsmen. I'VE viii ultimately
get the companies to sit down
and bargain with us the way
they should. We will get q 1858
contract. whether it takes two
weeks, four weeks or eight
weeks. :. Time Is on our side"
Mr.. Reuther hasn't said how
much the companies will have
to increase their offers.

Cruising shippers in the
Washington area have a unique
opportunity to help Uncle Sam
come up with a new series of
small boat charts designed ex-
clusively for yachtsmen.
Thanks to a $4,000 item
voted by Congress recently, the
Coast and Geodetic Surevy is
readying a pilot study on charts
tailored for today's small
cruisers and runabouts. And,
the area selected for the ex-
pertinent is the Potomas River,
between Washington and Point
Lookout.
Survey officials, who are To-

day charts, would like the views
of the cruising skipper on such
things as size Of the new charts,
additional data not now sup
piled, the ACCESSIBILITY of photo
graphs and whether in port
folio or packet form.
Some thought already has
been given to the subject by
survey officials. They would like
to see. for instance, descriptive
material heretofore found only
in the Coast Pilot. Suggestions
on size range from standard
page size to II by 26 inches.
Rear Admiral H. Arnold
Karo, survey director. estimates
that more than z million
boat owners will benefit from
the series. He also foresees the
series promoting safe operation
of pleasure boats.
The cramped quarters avail
able in small boats do not ac-
commodate the full size maui
tical charts now in use," Ad-
miral Karo says. "Yachtsmen
and small boat operators will be
provided nacigation informa-
ton in convenient form to In
sure safety and fun use Of the
waterways by this new charting
service"
Area yachtsmen should send
their views to the Director,
Coast and Keodetic Survey,
Washington, IS, D. c. This
writer also viii be glad to hear
from any boat owners, with as
surances their ideas will be
passed on to Admiral Karo and
his staff.

a long period. but it's only
because Payne is q perfection
ist--everything he's done shows
careful craftsmanship. He also
believes In doing all his own
work. from drawing the plans
to cutting out the keel and
making his own hardware.
The boat will be q skipjack,
or rather q. modified skfpjack
because several departures in
design viii make 1t unlike other
skipjacks SO famous in Chesa-

Cabin Top Raises
His craft win be so feet long

He has abandoned the tradi-

In 1889 the builder assembled

He kept the boat until 1912
when he entered the Navy and
sold 1t. Later he bought it back

materials. He found q real es-
tate development south Of

which would have let him have
q white oak tree for q keel II
he would haul 1t way.
1t took Payne two days to
find q tree with Just the right
curve. After chopping II down.
he spent another five days
rough-shaping 1t with saw.

it hauled home by trailer.
Total cost Of the keel was $500
for trailer rent.

8 inches square. He was able
to cut out the boats stem with

Next came ribs and plank

and cedar for the planking he
obtained from various saw
mills. Since he had no way to
steam-bend the ribs, he
hauled the wood while green
and thus was able to bend 1t.
The planking Is an inch and q
quarter thick.
The keel was cut out and
seasoned in 1856 and Payne
was able to start actual con-
struction in the spring of 1857.
Only recently had the work
progressed to the point that
he could turn over the boat to
start on the topsides.

Payne is making his own

made of angle iron to replace
the turnbuckles used to fasten
