Clark, president of the CIO United Packinghouse workers union, to enforce demands for a 25 cents an hour wage increase.

Strike Action Threatened In Jersey City a union spokesman said if the wage dispute was not settled, 11 big meat packing plants throughout the country would be struck within the week. In Chicago, however, national union officials said they had no knowledge of such plans. In Kansas City, union members voted to "stay out," rejecting suggestions from national officers that a strike be confined to a one-day demonstration.

Navy plans are shrouded under restrictions, but even a casual traveler can see seadogs planting a firm western anchor for a chain of bases stretching 6,000 miles across the Pacific from California to the fringes of Asia. The Philippine sea frontier commander Vice Armiral H. L. Kaufmann prefers to discuss liquidation of war-built minor bases' scattered, throughout the archipelago and demobilization. But Seabees and native laborers are constantly extending other.bases.

At Subic bay the northern end of Bataan peninsula, where the prewar Asiatic drydock and a few machine shops, the navy moved the entire native town of Olongapo to -a new location. Roads are being'widened, docks are being built. Work is beginning on a naval "ih- stalation on Lingayen gulf San Fernando, La Union province, of the Japanese invasion of Liiaon Dec 22, 1941.
