At fo) City Cites Delay in Neiv Plant Sees No Chance To Ease '54 Rules Stricter rationing of Detroit's water supply this summer was threatened Monday. Leo V. Garrity, assistant general manager of the Water Department, said things may be "pretty tough." "If we are not able to complete the first phase of the construction program at the Northeast station by June 1, there will be even more drastic restrictions on water use this summer than there were last year," Garrity said.

For several years the City has restricted lawn sprinkling. Last year, homeowners were limited to alternate days. Suburban communities supplied by Detroit have adopted similar programs. GARRITY SAID that even if the first phase of the new 50-million-dollar Northeast station is completed on schedule, the best that can be hoped for is a continuation of the current restrictions this summer. "If it falls short and we have had to catch up after a fire which delayed construction by four months all water consumers in this area will have to undergo further restrictions during the summer," Garrity said.

The huge project on E. Eight Mile will supply an additional 275 million gallons of water daily to the metropolitan area. II WATER Department hopes to provide about half that capacity mainly through temporary use of facilities on the property starting June 1. "It's just nip and tuck and we don't know whether we're going to make it," Garrity said. The disclosure came Monday at a meeting of the Water Board when the firm of Bryant Detwiler Co.

was given approval to construct the last major part of the new water facility. THE FIRM was awarded the contract providing for the main pumping system to distribute purified water and get it in the City water system at a cost of nearly three million dollars. This would be the last major contract in the project and would be completed for operation by June 1, 1956. Boy, 3, Is Safe As He Steers Car over Cliff ST. PAUL (AP) Little Joey Sommers.

LOFTUS New York Times Service WASHINGTON Lead ers of the two major labor federations agreed Monday on a constitution to govern their combined organization of 15 million members. All that is lacking is a name. Final approval of the charter and the actual merger of the AFL and CIO are set for the week of Dec. 5 at the 71st Regiment Armory, New York. THE JOINT unity committee which agreed on the constitution Monday acclaimed it in these words: 'It recognizes the equal status of craft and industrial I unions.

It offers a closed-door policy to unions controlled or directed by Communist or other totalita.ria.ns. It promotes democratic unionism. "It recognizes that all work ers, whatever their race, color. creed or national origin, are entitled to share fully in the bene fits of trade unionism. "It provides effective remedies for keeping the new organization free of both corruption and totalitarianism, and for quick and effective penalties against unions which fail to measure up to the high ethical and moral standards to which the public has a right to expect of our affiliated organizations." THE AFL and CIO conventions will be held concurrently in New York Dec.

Premier, 3 Generals Defy Viet Nam Ruler Won't Allow Change in Setup: Vrmy Continues Rebel Mopup r. jFrce Press, Editor Win Pulitzer Prize Royce Howes Editorial On Chrysler Strike Cited BY FRANK ANGELO Free Pres. Managing Editor Another Pulitzer Prize the most coveted of newspaper awards came to The Detroit Free Press Monday. The award, announced in New York City, was for distinguished editorial writing for the year 1954.

It was made to the Free Press for an editorial written by Royce Howes, associate-editor who succeeded the late Malcolm W. Bingay as editor of the editorial page. It was the third time that a Pulitzer award has come to the Free Press: First, for the best reporting; next for the "most distinguished and meritorious public service" rendered by an American newspaper during a year, and this time for editorial writing excellence. With the prize gees a $1,000 cash award to Howes. Scores of editorial writers and newspapers competed for the editorial-writing prize this year.

Selection was based on the Pulitzer test of "excellence," which includes "clearness of style, moral purpose, sound reasoning, and power to influence public opinion in what the writer conceives to be the right direction, with due account taken of other editorials during the year. JUDGES SINGLED OUT an editorial written by Howes at the time of the 1954 Chrysler strike as particularly outstanding. It appeared in the Free Press last July 26. It was the same editorial which won national honors for Howes in the Headliner Club competition recently. The winning editorial was simple in theme and thorough in detail.

s. It dealt with the strike last July which idled nearly 45,000 Chrysler Corp. workers. The progression of events was traced, step by step, from a disagreement over how many holes a day a little crew of men could reasonably bore in a piece of body trim garnish molding. What the union contended and what the management had to say was all set forth.

So was the matter of what both sides could and should have done to head off the strike. The editorial did not attempt, as it stated, "to determine degrees of responsibility not the exact degree." ITS PURPOSE WAS to point out to the whole, community that in the interests of its reputation as a place to work and as a place to do business, Detroit could not afford to let such small issues touch off such big, costly consequences. It was, the editorial held, altogether too much like the old nursery rhyme which tells how what began with the loss of a horseshoe nail ended with the loss of a kingdom. "What they (the implications in terms of cause and effect) point to," the editorial concluded, "is something neither Detroit nor any other community can afford if its people and its institutions want to keep a competitive position and we are thinking of the men and women who must compete for jobs just as much as we are of industries which compete for markets." Lee Hills, executive editor of the Free Press, sparked the comprehensive type of editorials which have been used In this paper in connection with the Chrysler strike and other major local situations. "A newspaper, to fulfill its duty to the public, must do more than report the news and comment on it from day to day," said Hills.

"That's why we assign some of our best reporters to work with Mr. Howes and his editorial page staff on these big stories. "We try to dig behind such pews. When we express an editorial opinion, we like to back it with more than the facts that are to be found in the ordinary news story. And we try to explain the meaning of the event so that all may understand.

"A newspaper can be great only as it spotlights intensively a community's interests. At the Free Press, that is a constant goal. "The Pulitzer award Is 'splendid recognition of the fine and dedicated work done by Mr. Howes, his editorial page staff including Frank Woodford, Fred Tew and editorial cartoonist Frank Williams, and all the others who work as a team to give Detroit and Michigan one of America's outstanding newspapers." Howes has a distinguished newspaper background. Minneapolis-born Howes, 54, joined the Free Press staff on Nov.

2, 1927, and has served in practically every editorial capacity. A PROLIFIC, WRITER, he has authored eight mystery novels and has written extensively for several magazines. His most recent work was a biography of Edgar A. Guest, Detroit Free Press poet. During World War II, Howes was a lieutenant colonel in Turn to Page Column 2 CIO Howes, Pulitzer Winner change governments.

While guns boomed in a fresh mopup drive against rebels who challenged Diem's authority last week, a message sent by Diem and three army generals to Bao Dai's villa on the French Riviera advised him that any new government he might name would not be recognized. A "states jfeneral," an assembly of Vietnamese provincial delegates, has been called for Wednesday by the national revolutionary committee with the declared purpose of approving the committee's action Saturday declaring Bao Dai deposed. Diem learned directly from Gen. J. Lawton Collins, special envoy of President Eisenhower, that the United States still backs his conduct of the embattled South Vietnamese government in the face of local rebellion, French animosity and Bao Dai's disapproval.

BUT COLLINS, who returned from Washington conferences Monday morning, was understood to have withheld any advance endorsement of Diem government moves to drop the absentee chief of state. In Paris French officials, who had been blaming Diem for plunging his cpuntry into civil war and clinging to a govern ment they thought did not represent the people, joined the United States Monday in supporting the hard-fighting little premier. Authoritative French government sources said France and the United States were now prepared to "sacrifice" Bao Dai as chief of state if his removal would product stability. In Washington, the State Department hinted broadly the United States would favor deposing Bao Dai as Vietnamese chief of state unless he quits trying to overthrow Diem.
