Fight MINNEAPOLIS (UP) The Minneapolis Tribune announced Saturday in a copyrighted story the 11 All-American Cities for 1950, chosen by a jury of nation-ally-known experts in municipal affairs. The cities were chosen by the jury for their fight for good government. The experts named the team at the national conference on government of the National Municipal League held recently in Buffalo, N.Y. The 11 chosen were: Cincinnati, Ohio; Hartford, Kansas City, Montclair, Montgomery county, New Orleans, Phoenix.

Portland, Maine; Richmond, Toledo, Ohio, and Youngstown, Ohio. Officials of the National Municipal League said it was no coincidence that more than half of the winning cities have a city-council manager form of government. The city manager system now governs more than 1,000 cities, towns and counties. The first team was selected at the National Municipal League conference in St. Paul last year at the persuasion of the Minneapolis Tribune.

Cincinnati made the all-American team for the second straight year for continuing its fight for good government and approving a big building program at a cost of only a penny a day per home owner. l.

The full Impact of reconversion Is not expected to be felt for another month or two. It will take that long for the chain reaction effect of material restrictions to reach all Industries.

But at least 33,000 workers have been laid off across the country as plants closed to re-tool or were forced to cut production because of materials shortages. More 8hifts Ahead. Nobody in government will estimate how many will be Idled before high-gear production starts. Business and labor leaders say too little is. known about the situation to make a guess.

They say they wont know until the exact military requirements are determined and just what items. will be restricted to defense contracts. The government already has cracked down on the use of aluminum, cobalt and copper. Prohibition of non-essential use of the latter will drive hundreds of familiar items from door knobs Jbncy buttons off the market. The effect was immediate on such industries as the Harrison Radiator plant at Buffalo, N.

which announced that the copper cutback will force the layoff of 100 workers. Many In Auto Industry. Most of the layoffs have been in the automotive industry, which was in the midst of record-breaking productions when the war orders arrived. The clamp on defense materials forced a 35 percent cut on the assembly lines and sent workers home on forced vacations of undetermined lengths.
