FIREMEN RESCI'E MAV FROM Ifv NARR0W BOAT ESCAPE Gene T. Dyer, 16, Culver Military Academy student, came fairly close Wednesday afternoon missing out on a perfectly good Honda Christmas vacation.

Young Dyer, son of Gene T. Dyer, of Chicago and 3304 N. Flagler Drive, decided to inau gurate his first day of vacation with a speedboat ride on Lake Worth. With Wilbur Smith, 19, a member of the crew of the elder Dyer's motor sailer, Stardust, he set out in a 20-foot high-speed Chris-Craft for a run up the lake. Off Twentieth Street, the speedy craft overtook and undertook to pass another boat.

By some freak, the speedboat, smashing into the wake of the other boat, was thrown out of control and turned turtle. The Dyer youth, hit on 1he head and stunned, was trapped the boat. Smith was thrown clear and immediately pulled his companion to the surface. Dyer recovered quickly and the two youths, both expert swim-rjfcrs, then calmly swam to the snore, 300 feet distant. The overturned boat later was towed to Rybovich's boat yard.

Young Dyer was at his home last night, none the worse for wear. "He's home and he's happy," his father said.

New Board Is Suggested With Employer-Worker Councils WASHINGTON, Dec. 18. 0W Reorganization of the national defense machinery by creation of a new national defense board and the setting up of employer-worker councils to coordinate production facilities was proposed to President Roosevelt today by CIO President Philip Murray.

Outline His Plan In a memorandum, Murray outlined his plan for speeding arms production and maintaining the necessary volume of domestic, non-military goods. He prefaced his proposal by saying: "To avoid a repetition of the 1917-18 failure to produce armaments in needed quantities' and on time it is necessary, without further delay, to redefine the aims of the defense program, broaden its scope, and assure its effective execution." "The scope of the defense program," he added, "should be broadened to encompass the full production of arma'ments for the needs of the United States, and any eventuality that may arise, without disturbing the adequate production of domestic goods." Under the CIO leader's plan, the President would appoint an equal number of employer and labor representatives to councils for basic defense industries, with one government representative to serve as chairman. The President also would name a new national defense board made up of management and labor representatives with the President himself as chairman. Such a board would have authority to coordinate the functions of the industry councils, serve as an appeals agency for council problems, and aid in the granting and reallocating of armament orders. Objectives Of Proposal The objectives of his proposal, Murray told the President, would be to guarantee necessary defense production by achieving the highest possible efficiency, guarantee production of domestic goods in adequate quantities, and preserve freedom of speech and assembly and the rights of labor to organize and bargain collectively.

The President, Murray said, has sufficient legal powers to create the administrative machinery suggested. The councils, he said, should have authority to ascertain the defense needs in each industry and coordinate production facilities to meet requirements, expanding these facilities wherever necessary. In addition they would strive for industrial peace through extension of collective bargaining and employer adherence to iuch labor laws as the Wagner act, wage-hour law, social security and the Walsh-llealy act. The present National Defense Commission has but one labor member, and leaders of both the CIO and AFL have been calling for increased labor representation in defense councils.
