Mr. Lovejoy first became associated with the company in 1898 at a time when Kodak Park, only six years old, comprised 14 small buildings huddled in farm-surrounded 10 acres. Under the watchful eye of the late George Eastman, his tmii fam Vr sm I Detroit (AP) Striking Kelsey-llayes workers refused yesterday to heed the call of their union executives and re-tume production of vital automotive parts. Thus the gigantic automotive industry started a new reconversion work week with strikes and shutdowns making 80,000 men and women idle in the Detroit area, and the threat of strikes involving some 500,000 more over the nation. The United Automobile Workers (CIO) has pledged all its resources to a fight for an industry-wide 30 per cent wage increase.

Of auto's Big Three, Ford already has closed, blaming lack of vital parts; General Motors has been served notice that the union will call on the NLRB to conduct a strike vote, and Chrysler waits on outcome of a union meeting WERE WRECKED BY HURRICANE CnnHtiv wVlirh Will! cauea ior at the funeral service THESE NAVY 'SWANS' BUT THESE FLEW TO rWCT rise kept pace with the growth of the company. At the time of his death, Park, largest of the Eastman plantr included 100 large buildings on 400 acres. A vigorous and active man through most of his life, with numerous diverse interests, Mr. Lovejoy was forced to limit his activities after he suffered a serious heart attack in July, 1944. He had not been in good health since and was taken to the hospital a week ago.

Funeral AVednesday Funeral services will be held in the First Universalist Church at 2 o'clock Wednesday. Burial will be in Riverside Cemetery. The body will lie in state at the church from 10 a. m. to noon Wednesday.

The Rev. William Wallace Rose, formerly minister of the First Unitarian Church here, now of Lynn, will come to Rochester to M.cuao.m ill tunic ku Born in Concord, N. Dec. 11, 1871, eon of George L. and Caroline Neai Lovejoy, the future Kodak head received grammar and high school education in Concord and was graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1894.

His first job after graduation was with the Cinclare Central factory, a sugar-refining concern, in Baton Rouge, La. Six months later, receiving a better offer, the young chemical engineer joined Curtis, Davis Cambridgeport, soap manufacturers and nucleus of the present large plant of Lever Brothers. Second Opportunity At Cambridgeport, he received and turned down his first offer from Kodak. The young photographic business had introduce-! flexible film to the world a few years earlier and Darragh De Lancey, a fellow Tech graduate and manager of the new Kodak Park Works in Rochester, needed a superintendent of his celluloid department. Young Lovejoy enjoyed hl work with the soap company and knew nothing of film or pho tography.

Opportunity knocked a second time when De Lancey, in Boston on a holiday weekend, signed up young after a day persuasion. The new executive was to receive $18 a week, which was $3 more than he received at the soap plant. Space in all the Kodak Park buildings was at a premium, and Lovejoy shared a desk with the plant chemist. Even this arrangement was relatively luxurious, for most of the men worked either at common kitchen tables or small wooden boxes with hinged tops. The new department superin tendent found himself catapulted into a scries of new tasks and re sponsibilities.

Not only did he have to familiarize himself with the operations under his charge, but he also needed to learn the ele ments of picture-taking. For his spare time, which was not exten sive, he was assigned to conduct a series of experiments for the man ager, as he was the only technical scnooi graduate at the plant.

Douglas MacArthur's list of Pacific war criminals. Tokyo (UP) Gen. Douglas MacArthur, following an un explained meeting with Japa nese Premier Prince NaruhiH Higashi-Kuni, yesterday ordered the Japanese government to make a full accounting of all Allied property seized during the war and all Axis property in the country. MacArthur, in his meeting with Higashi-Kuni, was believed to have dictated new and sharper orders to the Japanese government to cease its double-talk and deceit. Although the subject of the meet ing was not announced, a headquarters spikesnian said Saturday that MacArtliur will tolerate no negotiations with the Japanese and will demand immediate compliance with his orders.

Higashi-Kuni was summoned to MacArthur's Yckohama headquar ters at 5 p. m. Saturday, three and a half hours after Col. Don ald Hoover told a group of Japanese press and radio executives that the Allies did not regard Japan as an equal in any way and that there would be no negotiations with their 'defeated nation. Complete Report The supreme Allied commander's latest order to the Japanese di rected tne government to pre serve all property, assets, accounts and records of United Na tions governments and nationals as or Dec.

7, 1941, and to make a complete report within a specified time. The Japanese also were ordered to impound and report within 15 days all the property and assets of Axis or satellite nationals or governments. Those specifically named were Germany, Italy, Bul garia, Finland, Siam, Romania and Hungary. Meanwhile, the No. 1 war crim inal, Gen.

Hideki Tojo, who shot himself at the moment of his arrest last Tuesday, was reported in 'excellent" condition at the 98th Evacuation Hospital in Yokohama. Suffers Little Pain Doctors said he was recovering as rapidly as a man many years younger and that he had a good appetite and was suffering little pain. It was said, however, that his complete recovery may take several weeks. Destruction of Japan's military bases continued, with U. S.

3rd Fleet demolition forces reporting that they had completely neutral ized the Aburatubo midget subma rine base on Uraga Peninsula and were working on the destruction of other naval installations on Uraga and Chiba peninsulas. In this area, which guards Tokyo Bay, the Americans reported de stroying 155 suicide boats and 10 big guns at four bases. Quantities of light weapons and ammunition also were seized at the bases. Britons to Raise Flag British forces, meanwhile, planned to symbolize their return to Tokyo with a 30-minute flag-raising ceremony at noon today when the Union Jack will be formally hoisted over the British Embassy by a unit of 70 officers and 350 men. It was emphasized that the embassy will not be reopened but that it will be used for quarters by high-ranking British officers, including Comm.

C. S. Sheppard, senior British Naval officer, and Lt. Gen. C.

Gairgner, senior British Army officer. With the conquest of the Paci fic completed, MacKrthur ordered American troops evacuated from nine Pacific bases "at the earliest practicable date." Troops will be moved to other areas or returned home for discharge under the point system. The bases include Morotal Is land, the Sulu Archipeligo in the Philippines, Sanga Sanga and Jolo, Middleburg Island off Sansapor in Dutch New Guinea, Palawan Is land, Davao and Malabang on Mindanao, and Iloilo, on Panay Island, all in the Philippines. -BUT HE DIDN'T Ilimriiiini i SAFETY along Seneca Lake to join the ships which moored yesterday Naval Training Center at they were flown ft om southern escape hurricane effects.

The greatest loss was at tha Navy's Richmond Naval Air Station, where the world's three largest hangars collapsed, burned, and destroyed 366 airplanes and 25 patrol blimps. The debris vu still smoldering late yesterday. 50 Sailors Injured The damage at the Navy baa alone was between $30,000,000 and $40,000,000, a Navy spokesman declared.

Fifty sailors were injured, only a few seriously enough, to be hospitalized. The storm had subsided to gala velocity after lashing with raic3 and 43-mile per hour winds the playground beaches and cities at the southern tip of the state. Last night the storm moved into the Atlantic Ocean where it was expected to renew its strength for a blow at the South Carolina coast. At 9:30 p. m.

hurricane warnings were ordered run up from Brunswick, northward to Cape Hat-teras, 250 miles south of the Jersey Coast. Should the blow maintain Its present north-northeasterly course, the advisory said, it would strike the South Carolina coast from the Charleston area northward about this afternoon. As the blow diminished over Florida, disaster workers moved, into the stricken areas. At Homestead, south of MianaL 225 white persons and 800 Negroes were homeless and the town was reported shattered. The community haa a normal population of 2,300.

Red Cross on Hand The Red Cross took in clothes, food, 250 Army tents and numbers of prefabricated labor camp houses for the residents. Some 600 pounds of blood-plasma were brought in by special plana from Atlanta for possible imet gencies. Score of homes were destroyed or damaged. The civilian chief of the station, fire department, Harry H. Schultz.

died in leading the futile fight against the flames. He was missed Saturday night and yesterday his body was found among the embers. Twenty persons were injured at Homestead and 15 received treatment at Miami hospitals for minor injuries from flying debris. At Miami, where palm trees, broken power poles and dangling wires littered the streets, some es sential electric service was restored by noon yesterday. Pumps, stilled for nearly 24 hours, started water flowing again.

Near Anniversary 1 This storm came almost on the anniversary of the Sept. 18 hurricane in 1926 which ripped up thai Florida East Coast, killing 372 persons, injuring 6,281 and leaving over 18.000 families temporarily homeless. This time adequate warnings held down casualties. In the Bahamas the island of Long Cay. which took a lashing from winds of 140 miles an hour, was said to have been severely damaged.

No contract has yet been made with the island of Mayaguana and other sparsely populated atolls around Nassau, but government aid was on the way. Meanwhila a sharp lookout was kept in surrounding waters for fishing craffi feared to have been caught by the storm.

Richard T.

Leonard, UAW-CIO Ford director, said delegates representing every Ford plant in the country would attend. Only 350 of the 4,500 Kelsey-Hayes workers, on a "wildcat" strike demanding the rehiring ot three workers, attended a mass meeting yesterday presided over by Percy Llewellyn, administrator for the local who was appointed by the UAW executive board. The background of the strike a comparatively small but vital one in the troubled labor picture was the ejection from the plant of two company foremen last April. 13 Men Were Fired For this the company fired 13 men. The War Labor Board directed the reinstatement of nine cf the group.

One of the remaining four has left Detroit and the present depute cenieia other three. West Side Local 174 wants the three rehired. The UAWi board ordered the strikers to return to woik and then negotiate. In offering to support its industry-wide wage increase campaign to the extent of $4,000,000, the auto union presumably meant it was billing to sink its entire financial resources into the effort. An official statement of the union1 financial condition had not teen presented up to the time at the union board meeting, which is customarily dotie at these regular quarterly sessions.

George F. Addes, secretary-treasurer, said, however, that the represented about $2,000,000 in the international union's treas ury and an equal amount in treasuries of locals all over country. CAW Expects Help the the Jh inswtr to a reporters ques-tion whether $4,000,000 would be mffirient to carry the union through a prolonged strike battle, Addes indicated doubt, then added: "But there is one fact that must be borne in mind. There is a fraternity in the labor movement that traditionally has always asserted iteif whenever any single union needs help. "The UAW-CIO Is only a part of the CIO.

The CIO has a membership of about 6,000,000. We of the UAW know we can draw on me parent group for whatever help we may need." In serving notice on General Motors that a strike votf would be ought to back the 30 per cent wage boost demand, the union set no. deadline for GM's acceptance. Unofficial sources said the union might not wait more than a few days for GM's answer. General Motors has made no comment on the union's demand, which the UAW-CIO made public over the weekend through Walter P.

The rallies, attended mainly by middle-aged men and women, were the most enthusiastic political demonstrations yet held in the American zone of occupation.

Well, he rode the horse. He rode it clear around the parade ground. It wasn't exactly a pleasure cruise.

It was-more, it appeared, like taking a big, fat carrier through a Japanese sea loaded and primed with submarines. And, like a carrier, Halsey admitted freely that he wanted an escort. "Please don't leave me alone with this animal," said the admiral of the mighty Third Fleet, the survivor of Kamikaze attacks, the destroyer of a goodly portion of the Japanese sea power.

The protest was filed a few days after the incident. The Russians replied that the shooting was to be regretted, that it was a mistake but that Russian flyers knew some Japanese planes still were in the air. The Russians said their pilots thought the Japanese might have repaired a Superfort forced down in Japan and were taking no chances.

It wasn't learned whether MacArthur considered the case closed. This was the only known case where the Russians had any contact with the Americans' long-range bomber. Lost Scout Found Dead at Cliff Foot Silver Bay CP) The body of Edward E. Parlin, 16, of Glen Ridge, N. was found yesterday on Catamount Mountain, seven miles from the nearest highway.

The boy, who had been missing since Sept. 3, apparently had fallen 100 feet from a cliff after losing the mountain trail, state police said. Edward was employed as an assistant hike leader by the Silver Bay Association of Lake George. TRUMAN BACK, WILL LOOK INTO LABOR TROUBLE Washington CP) President Truman returned to Washington last night to look into labor disturbances and to complete plans for changes in his administration.

Mr. Truman is expected to discuss rumored changes in the War Department command at a news conference at 4 p. m. tomorrow. Reports have been current that Henry L.

Stimson, Secretary of War, is anxious to retire, and that Gen. George C. Marshall, Army chief of staff, may do likewise, possibly to be succeeded by Gen. Dwight Eisenhower. The President flew here from Grand view.

where he took off at 2:40 p. m. HU wife and daughter, Margaret, who saw him off will return to Washington in about two weeks. About 100 persons were at the Grandview field. The President drove to the air port from his home in Independ ence where he had spent the week end.

LIKE IT- Now that bivouac is occupied by the First Cavalry Division, which is occupying Tokyo now with the most modern arms but has a long tradition going back to the days when a cavalryman was a horseman. Maybe Halsey had forgotten, but Maj. Gen. William G. Chase, commander of the division, had not.

When Halsey got there, Chase brought out a white horse, all saddled and ready. Because the whole thing was a surprise, Halsey had not brought the silver-mounted Reno saddle with his name on it. He hadn't ex pected any white horse, Hirohito's or not. The commander of the Third the world'a mightiest naval Clydebank, Scotland CP) A blinding explosion ripped Britain's largest battleship, the HMS Vanguard, in a fitting-out basin here last night, killing two workers and injuring six others. Ship workers at the John Brown Yards described the noise as terrific, and said the battleship's corridors were filled with smoke and flames.

He was elected President in 1930. At Long Last, Halsey Rid es White Horse in Tokyo Tokyo J.r: Admiral William F. Halsey got that ride on a white horse in Tokyo yesterday. He didn't like it. For the benefit of those who might not have read the newspapers for the past year or more, let lt be said that Halsey once expressed a desire to ride Emperor Hirohito's oft-pictured white horse through Tokyo.

Later he said he wished he hadn't said it. That was after he got a fine saddle from the good people of Reno, and people began to ask where Hirohito was hiding his horses so that Halsey couldn't get at them. Yesterday, Halsey came Into Tokyo on a' visit. Naturally, he came to the bivouac area of the American troops near the Meiji Shrine..
