STUFFED' ANIMALS i DOLLS 1 fW chairman of General Motors Cor poration, for giving "only superficial attention" to the labor management committee plan. Earlier Sloan had replied to the criticism by saying, "General Motors is proud of its war effort.

It stands on the record the record of the magnitude of its expanding war production, of the quality of its war products, of the low cost and efficiency of its operations, and its cooperation with the armed forces. All this reflects the morale and effectiveness of its organization. Ford officials consented further: Would Give Unions Control "The idea given in the press when this program was explained was that the unions wanted to sit with management on a 50-50 basis in the discussion of production and other problems. Actually, since in our plants union membership is compulsory, such a program would give the unions practical control of the operation of the plants. "That's a pretty big bundle of authority to concentrate in a group which is not contributing one cent of financing: not assuming any of the responsibility: and which has nothing much to offer in the way of experience or ability along management lines.

"It should be borne in mind, too, that labor-management committees mean giving practical control to a group which does not account to anyone for its income, nor does it pay taxes. How government can condone the association of two such opposite types of operating agencies, is more than we can see." Cite Congratulations The Ford spokesmen said they felt the views of Theodore K. Quinn, director-general of the war production drive and author of the article, contradicted the opinions held by the War Production Board and expressed by the monthly congratulatory telegrams received by the company from C. E. Wilson, head of the WPB Aircraft Division.

"We feel," the officials concluded, "that the shoe may be pretty much on the other foot, Mr. Quinn. Quite JU3I AKKIVtUI BOSTON FIR 71 IT $1.00 to $3.00 NONE HIGHER J.
