M. C. Problem The controversy over wages in the automobile industry will not be settled by a strike. It will be settled over the conference table by bargaining of the two parties, the U.A.W.-C.I.O. representatives and the officials of General Motors corporation.

Workers at the Janesville plants will cast their votes, along with wage earners in 100 other General Motors plants, for or against a strike. General Motors was chosen as first among the big three automobile manu- facturers because it is the largest. The demand is for a 30 per cent increase in wages, and if this is gained from one car-maker, it is logical that other industries would have to fall in line. The demand for 52 hours' pay for 40 hours' work is intended to keep up the '''fast shrinking take home wages" to cover 'higher living costs. Losses to workers "from the reduction in overtime, the union contends, must be made up and this- amounts to 30 per cent.

Walter P. Reutner, A vice president, claims that General Motors could meet the 30 per cent pay increase and still cut "at least 55100 from the price of Chevrolet and at the same time 'earn for its stockholders at least 000 more than the pre-war 1936-1939 average of $180,000,000." The demand was rejected by C. E. Wilson, president of the corporation, who contends that a 30 per cent increase in wages necessitate an equal increase in the price of automobiles, for prices of parts and supplies would be increased likewise. But he proposes that a 45-hour work week be adopted throughout the country, with a 5 to 8 per cent general wage increase "during the readjustment period, say three to five years." He added that a 48-hour week, with overtime after 45 hours, would i on this basis bring an increase of about 60 "per cent By this means, he said, one ot 'five or six people who are now without a car could have one, the.

nation would have "20 per cent more cars, and the price would not have to be increased to the public. The union contends that "the profit and reserve position of the General Motors corporation provides ample margin for absorp- 'tion of this adjustment without necessitat: ing any price increase." Further, it claims the automobile industry, due to tecn- "nical improvements and plants financed or partly financed by government, is able to pay higher wages and still sell cars for less. This is controversy between management and labor but it is not confined to those two croups. For the public is going to suffer from any strike, increased prices, continued work stoppage with no cars produced, or 1 resulting inflationary trends. Overtime payments have disappeared 'many industries and there have been some increases granted in hourly rates, but few workers have expected overtime rates of time and one-half and double time to continue in peace time as in war time.

Industries making goods have not enjoyed the increased production so 'typical of many war time industries. In fact. technical advances which increase a production may show up in two or three years, but a hoped-for acceleration of production cannot be made a 1 sound basis radically increased rates at this time when no cars are being produced. The public apparently has been given no consideration in this issue and the public; is bound to suffer most A strike of 300,000 workers in plants scattered the nation is bound to affect the i entire national economy. Yet both sides apparently counting upon public approval of their stands.

Meanwhile President Truman does not 'seem to be disturbed by what appears to be a dire threat, to our industrial stability. The New Republic, which is friendly to labor, comments. "This is not merely a cal: culated campaign; it is a social explosion. The Chicago Sun, which has been friendly to the New Deal throughout war years, says, "Instead of dealing boldly with mdus- trial working out a clear-cut wage and price program and going to the press and radio to explain and defend it he amiably advises people to 'cut out foolishness and go to There is liable 1o be a strike, possibly a long, one, and the tools of settlement through government intervention under the Smith-Connally law are practically useless. It is late for congress to act, but that law should be repealed at once and rcplifced by a workable measure, for the public and the nation's welfare come first.

Already there is public apprehension of what is surely ahead as a result of the multiplying strikes. As that concern for public welfare creases there will be greater pressure on Washington to control the situation with resulting damage to both labor and industry. The showdown is here, but not settlement. That can be achieved only by compromise. The squirrels have been storing nuts in preparation for winter, some animals and Jhumans are getting ready 1o hibernate till I spring.

Voice of the CONSCIENTIOUS OBJFCTOK Editor Gazelle: Many of your readers may have wondered what the fate of Pvt. Henry Weber lias been. Pvt. Weber, you will recall, was the young man who was Riven a death sentence by the army because of his conscientious objection (o learning how- to kill.

When the shocking severity of his sentence gained national (and international) attention, another court mar'ial reconsidered and made the sentence five years in prison. He is still in prison today, because he refused to commit the moral crime of acting contrary to the dictates of his conscience, and because he refused to shed the blood of his fellow men. He had asked for non-combat duty on several occasions but his request was always ignored. No useful purpose can be served by carrying out the prison sentence. Others, cited for similar have either been given duties or placed in a Conscientious Objectors' camp or have been released.

Everyone of us who respects a man with the courage of his convictions will want to see Henry Weber a free man again. We can petition President Truman for his immediate release from prison. -Let's do it now! GEORGIA COZZ1NI Editorial ALWAYS READY TO Salvation Army Canteen cavalcade was born in the stressing days of Britain's unemployed millions back in 1927, and today it is universally known as the army truck reaching out with a. "heart to God and hand to man." Recently we received an illustrated booklet tracing this Canteen cavalcade from 1927 when it was used as a Salvation Army soup kitchen and service truck to feed the hungry to the Mobile Canteen that has been so heartening in the present war. From a small beginning this canteen cavalcade has grown until today it serves humanity the over and our American boys have been mighty proud of the service rendered.

The mobiles labored among the soldiers and sailors who guarded the coasts and whose weary hours of watching were gladdened by their approach. They have reached to all parts of the world and today the mobile canteen unit is internationally known. In the first World war the salvation Army was noted for its doughnuts and coffee. In World War II it was equipped to render a more inviting menu and men in all branches of sen-ice have felt its influence. On one page of the booklet referred to above we note this paragraph: "The Salvation Army's Canteen cavalcade rolls simple, heartfelt hope to liberated Europe." In the other corner are these words, "While in Pacific area 410 mobiles day and night cheer on the The United States servicemen will never forget the Salvation Army In World War II.

We want to extend our congratulations to Lt. Commissioner John J. Allen and the central territory who with the other commissioners has brought into being the Canteen cavalcade as contribution in our recent World Press.

AND BEAR ITJ Home-Grown Airport In Ozarlcs Is Beginning of Young Army Flier's Peacetime Dream Vt -i i All sm mm II tnif-iac 1C Si 1. BY tiEOKUE SITTERLEY Mo.

here on the edge of Missouri's Ozarks 's a home-grown airport and the be- I ginnings a young army flier's peacetime dream. He's making his dream come true. On a 76-acre pasture he leased 'from his parents, 25-year-old Charles "Chuck" Harris is operating a landing field for airminded tourists and sportsmen. Since he opened the field 'or use last July 1, Chuck says, nearly 250 planes nave dropped in. And he proudly declares he is "really petting things' ready now to take care of them." The field has a natural four-way drain that keeps the runways usable even in heavy weather.

Hie longest of the sodded strips is 2,500 feet, parallel to the prevailing southeast winds. The oliior "Now that the war's over, Snodgrass, do you think it unseemly to ask for a ride on a battleship?" Humiliation and Torture of U. S. Airmen by Japs in China Told by Survivor Hankow, China American intelligence officers today related a story of Japanese torture of three B-29 crewmen, who were submitted to such humilities that their names never may be revealed the sake of their relatives. One of the fliers, almost naked, was forced to walk through Han- kow's wintry streets.

One eye was virtually gouged out and he was showered with icy water. At the end of his miles-long ordeal, he was showcrwi with gasoline and burned alive, on orders of a Japanese military schoolmaster. Two fellow B-29 crewmen also were cremated, but whether they were alive when the fires were lighted has not been determined. They, too were forced to make the same tortuous walk through Han- kow. The fire blackened bodies of all three have been recovered.

A fourth flier, who survived the crash of the Chengtu-based B-29, 50 miles north of Hankow, was injured so seriously he was taken to a hospital and thus escaped the fate of his buddies. He was transferred to Shanghai and is believed to have been liberatol. The incident was well remem- bered by scores of Chinese in Han- kow because the city received worst raid of the war only two days after the public torture of tiie Americans. Many believed the heavy bombing was a reprisal. Those who saw the death march said the superintendent of a Japanese-sponsored "model youth corps" ordered'the hideous tortures because he wanted to make an impression on his charges as a strong taskmaster.

The American fliers began their cold walk early in the afternoon. 1 Streets of the former Chinese capital were lined with crowds, which were exhorted by gendarmes to strike and throw icy water on the men as they passed. The Americans were clad only in their shorts. Witnesses said, one Japanese dressed as a Chinese ran out of the crowd and poked out the eye of one of the airmen with a sharp stick. The Japanese turned the Chinese Dah Pu bank building, in heart of Hankow, into a torture and death factory.

estimated 10,000 Chinese were put through this house of torture and only about 6,000 emerged alive. U. S. Repair Ship Is Fired Upon by River Batteries American, navy repair ship Seize was fired on by a Yangtze river shore battery and small arms Monday near Chin- kian village, halfway to Nanking. The Seize returned the fire with machine guns.

No Americans were hurt, but the Seize's mast' was hit and she sustained minor damage. The episode was disclosed by Rear Adm. C. T. Joy, commander of the newly.reinsti- tuted Yangtze patrol.

It was the first such incident since the patrol was resumed. The Seize proceeded on a repair mission toward Nanking after the episode. Joy notified Gen. Tang En-po, commander of government troops in this area. Tang said that area was "full of Chinese He promised to take action to prevent a recurrence of the attack, however.

For hours he wandered helplessly, calling out at' intervals: "Help! I'm lost!" He was just giving up all hope of rescue when a voice hailed him out of the unknown. "Ay. I'm hearin' ye," it said: but what's the reward for findin' ye?" "How do you manage if the telephone rings while you are in the bathlub?" asked Mr. Bee.

"Why," replied Mr. Dee, "I never lake a balh unless my wife is calling some, friend, then of course, 1 have ample time to finish."

Many Jobs Open in Lumbering and Paper Pulp Trade William B. Mills, manager of the Janesville United Stales Employment Service, announced today that his office would co-operate in a nationwide recruitment drive designed to find critically needed workers for the lumbering, logging, paper and pulp industries.

"There are about 540 openings for men in the lumbering industry in Wisconsin alone and over 1,050 unfilled openings in the paper and pulp industry in the state," he said. "Among those needed are pulpwood. cutlers, loaders, haulers, and paper and- pulp mill workers. Most of these jobs are of a seasonal nature." Mills appealed particularly to veterans who were formerly woodsmen or mill workers, and seasonal farm workers who may have time available during the off-season to take these jobs. He pointed out that improved housing conditions and feeding facilities were among the special incentives being offered by most employers.

Mills said that the present manpower emergency was created by skyrocketing civilian demands for paper and lumber products, long restricted because of war priorities, and added that no relief could be expected unless workers could be found for these basic industries. The majority of openings in the paper industry are found in and about Wisconsin Rapids, Appleton, Green Bay, Neenah and Mosinee. Logging and lumbering centers are at Wausau, Rhinelander, Hayward, Park Fails, Goodman and Hurley, but any local U. S. Employment Service office is equipped to give full details about the job openings.

Among the new books are "Here Is Your War" by Ernie Pyle, a book for which many requests were made by the "The Ship," "While We Still Live," "Pastoral," "Horses I've Known," "West Point," "Winged and "God Is My OUR CHILDREN Book Child vs. Real Child; Correct One Step at Time By AXGELO PATRI Bringing up children in a book is a delightful process. The book child never talks back, never disobeys, never shows surprising indifference to our efforts to hold his Jeet in the right road. The alive child, the one who is running about the house, balking at his food, rebelling against routine, doing things nobody ever expected him to do'is another child and a far different one.

The books and the, experts can help and do, but something must be added to the perfection pattern always because no child and no parent is ever perfect. Room must be left for human waywardness, unusual defects and unusual gifts. In short, room must be left for the free play of the spirit and the flesh of the child. What is one to do when this child does not behave according to the rules? You do what you can do toward holding him, pushing him, leading him to better ways and you- try hard to remember that his way may be a good way for him, and until he indicates that he is doing what will injure him morally and physically, you hold off. For example he refuses milk.

Now all children should drink milk. All the books say the experts say this one just won't and when it is forced down his throat he returns it with interest. Now what? Tell him he needn't drink milk and substitute for it something that the child specialist recommends for iuch. children. Sometimes they caa take the milk if it is coqoa helps, or- times another food must be But the first step to take when child shows that milk is not fo.r.

That puts him in a friendly attitude toward you and life in general and you can work with him from there instead of havtog him working against you at every. step. Spinach, eggs, beets, uncooked, on the approved diet list "is bound to be turned down by an occasional child who i has some real or fancied reason for objection. Drop the matter, eo Ms way as rar as possible, and wait.

If necessary- get the advice of a specialist but don't force an article of fliet on any child. That holds in many fields of experience. He doesn't like Aunt Ella? He behaves badly when, taken to visit Granny? He has a temper tantrum when obliged to wear a ski suit? Dislikes cats? wants to sit on the floor while he undresses? Yells and shouts liv the house? Says no as often us. possible? He is still normal. Take' it easy, correct one step at a and wait.

He grows up in time, and he will need a strong, healthy mother behind him all the way. Have faith and spare yourself.
