Resistance to the shift in time came as expected from the eastern Michigan industrial sections. The new state law provides that at 2 a.

m. next Monday all the- state clocks shall be turned back one hour. This is expected to be done generally in communities west of the central part of the lower peninsula. In Detroit, however, a city ordinance sets the time as eastern war time and the city council decided to let it stand pending an advisory public vote which has been set to start Monday a few hours after the hour set by the state for its time change. Official city groups in Port Hu ron, Royal Oak and Birmingham nave decided to "go along with Detroit" on the time, and the Saginaw city council has decided to wait and see what its neighbors do.

Bay City and Jackson city commissions have voted to retain eastern war time, but in Jackson county, the board of supervisors declined to vote on the issue, and will be ruled by the state law. Battle Creek's city commission agreed that community would turn its clocks back, and a similar stand was taken by officials of Owosso and Shiawassee county. DETRDfTERS Concluded from Page One weekly wage rates in industry in connection with the longer work week. Reuthers said in a statement that the President's order "squares with labor's frequently expressed desire for the maximum utilization of machinery and manpower." He said that the U. A.

W. (C. I. urged last November that war plants guarantee their workers a lull week's employment." "The President gives the chair man of the war manpower commis sion authority to effectuate the pol icy enunciated in his new Reuther said. "The most effective guarantee will be to order payment to all workers of a guaranteed weekly wage in keeping with the standards fixed by the President.

Having taken this forward step, which will help labor morale as well as advance the war effort, the fed eral government, through appro priate agencies should institute pro ceedings and conferences looking toward tne establishment of indus try-wide scales based on the Drinci pal of equal pay for similar frank X. Martel. president of the Detroit and Wayne County Federa tion oi (A. F. of said he felt that "generally sneaking." the President's order "will be accepted and our people will cooperate." (By The Associated Press) Organized labor today advanced a demand for "guaranteed weekly wage rates" as mixed reaction was expressed to President Roosevelt's order fixing a minimum work week of 48 hours on the home front.

The President's order provided that workers who are covered by the fair labor standards act should get time and a half for work in excess of 40 hours, and the war manpower commission said the longer week was intended to include all employment, even domestic servants, in 32 "labor shortage" areas where it was made effective immediately. in Akron, the rubber tire cen ter, John W. Thomas, president of the board of the Firestone Tire and Rubber company, said the President's order was "a step in the right but Harley Treen, presi dent of a C. I. O.

local at the Fire stone plant, said he feared "many workers will be made idle" by the lengthening of hours. The Akron industrial union coun cil, central organization for C. I. O. affiliates, was preparing an alternate manpower proposal when the President's order was issued as it contends there is a surplus rather than a shortage of labor in the area.

President Philip Murray of the C. I. O. said he had no immediate comment, and none was immediately available from President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers or President William Green of the American Federation of Labor.

Officials of the National Associa tion of Manufacturers said they had not completed a study of the order. E. J. O'Connor, executive vice president of the Associated Industries of Oklahoma, said at Oklahoma City that unless provision is made for payment of the increased pro duction labor costs then firms with war contracts figured without over time and those whose prices are controlled by OPA will go broke. Officials of big industries in the Macon, area said the order would not affect them, as they al ready were on a work basis of 48 or more hours a week, and Frank Brooks, president of the retail mer chants' bureau, said the order was probably just what we need.

Chicagoans Finding Less Time to Read CHICAGO. Feb. 10 fP) Under a wartime strain, Chicagoans have found less time to read at least they're not borrowing as many books from the library. Though continuing to circulate more books than anv similar insti tution in the world, the Chicago public library, in its annual report, notes a drop of nearly a million vol umes in the number of books issued in 1942 compared with the preceding year. "Everything has dropped fiction.

said, "will not solve any of our real problems. Those who demand them are only demanding another depression. WASHINGTON. Feb. 19 tINS) Senator John H.

Bankhead (D) of Alabama, chairman of a senate subcommittee investigating manpower, today proposed suspension of the draft, except for selection of men for the air forces and the navy. The proposal was made as Gen. George C. Marshall, chief of staff, prepared to go before a joint session of senate and house military affairs committees to defend the plan for total armed forces of men by December 31. Bankhead's demand was regarded as significant, since the appropriations subcommittee, of which he is chairman, is expected to submit a report next week on the result of its investigations of proposals to limit the size of the army.

A reliable senate source predicted that the subcommittee will vote 4 to 3 to recommend limiting the size of the army the first major proposal in congress to check war plans except for disagreement over lowering of the draft age. The military affairs committee also invited members of Bankhead's sub-committee. Democratic Senate Leader Barkley and Republican Leader McNary. to attend the secret session with General Marshall. The widespread senate sentiment for limiting the growth of the army was said to be alarming to military chieftains who are planning smashing blows against Axis foes.

"We ought to stop increasing the army right now." said Bankhead. "We have 5.500.000 men. I see no reason for 9,000.000 men in the army when they can't get more than overseas this year. I have no objections to induction for the navy or nir forces. The navy is using men for action.

They are not sitting around camps." "My view is that there now is no threat to invasion of the western hemisphere and we don't need millions of soldiers here. The Chinese and the Russians are the nations to provide the manpower while we should be the arsenal and granary of the United Nations. State Troop Pay For Drills Asked Members of Michigan state troops would receive pay for attending drills under provisions of a bill introduced in the house of representatives Tuesday by Representative Thomas J. Whinery (R) of Grand Rapids, and Representative David E. Young (Ri of Saginaw.

"Every force in Nazi Germany has been organized for one single dreadful purpose," he said, reviewing some or his observations of the dra matic tragedy of Poland, results of tnat purpose.

He emphasized the ex tent to which every force within the Soviet Union was being employed to defend the U. S. S. R. with aU people in every walk of life deter mined gnnuy to save the soil of Rus sia for themselves and their chit dren.

Urges Complete Mobilization ne ftmencan Kea cross has a membership of 15.000,000 adults and more than 16.000,000 juniors," said tne speaker, who is In charge of Junior Red Cross work. Urging complete mobilization of all civilians in the work and support of the Red Cross, Mr. Nicholson pointed out that Red Cross expenditures for services to the armed forces alone were 56 times those of the previous year. He said that service to the armed forces was the primary oougation oi tne organization. As a member of the delegation to Europe.

Mr. Nicholson war a member of the mission that studied the needs created by the war and their recommendations became the groundwork for the extensive for eign war relief operations of the American Red Cross, totaling over atw.uuu.uuu and in which more than 20,000,000 war victims have been assisted. Mrs. Evelyn D. Murphy, general field representative for Michigan, spoke on "Red Cross Services in the Armed Forces" and Walter C.

Stubbs, field director, on "Advances on the Red Cross Front" at the morning meetings. More than 100 delegates from out of town attended the convention. They w-ere welcomed by Mayor Sam Street Hughes. (the order) applies to all employment." Moreover, Fowler V. Harper, Mc-Nutt's chief deputy, announced that it is not discretionary with employers but is mandatory.

A reasonable period of several weeks will be allowed to put the program Into effect. The manpower commission expects to find other jobs for workers forced out by the longer work week. Highlights of the program as outlined by Byrnes, other than the 48 hour week, include: No increase in hourly wage rates beyond that allowed by the war labor board's "little steel except in special cases. This formula permits a 15 percent increase over January 1, 1941, levels to compensate for higher living costs. 2 Incentive payments to farmers to "enable us to increase production without increasing prices" but no change in the farm parity formula.

No further increase in the basic and essential cost of subsistence living. "We nfust break up the black markets." a Work by all where most need-ed. "If some men can be drafted and sent abroad at $50 per month, every civilian must go where he can render the greatest service, even if it means less money." rj Higher taxes to close a 000.000,000 "gap" between income and the amount of available goods. A part of the additional taxation on "the lower-middle income groups," Byrnes said, should take the form of post-war credits or compulsory savings. War plans for 1943.
