Mazey attributed the drop in employment at Chrysler's main Dodge plant from 33,000 in 1953 to the current figure 6,000 to "the lack of ability of Chrysler to sell cars." "We will have to wait and see if the new president, Lynn Townsend, has something besides cash register for a heart. The first thing he did when he took over as the No. 2 man in the Chrysler setup was to fire 7,000 salary workers," he said.

The U. A. W. leader then said was greatly "disappointed in (the timidity and indecision of President Kennedy in dealing with the problems of unemployed workers." "If the President can use his full powers to seek $3.5 billion to meet the Berlin crisis in order to the people of Berlin, why protect. he use these same powers to protect the economic freedom of million unemployed workers?" he asked.

He also called the A. F. L. C. I.

O. to task for "not doing enough in the field of unemployed workers." "The A. F. L. C.

I. O. has been bankrupt when dealing with the problems of unemployment. They better do something fast or we'il do it for them," he added. Former Albion Professor Dies (Special to The State Journal) ALBION, July 29 Services were being held in Cleveland Saturday for Dr.
