Nicholson, vice chairman of the American Red Cross and a delegate to Europe for relief work shortly after the Germans invaded Poland, told some 400 members of the state Red Cross budget conference at the luncheon meeting Wednesday afternoon. The luncheon climaxed the day's program at the Masonic temple. Mr. Nicholson spent the major part of his stay abroad completing negotiations with Nazi government that enabled the Red Cross to distribute, under the observation of its official representatives, more among worth Polish of relief refugees in without diversion to Germany.

On the other hand. Senator Ball (R) of Minnesota declared "I can't see where it will help a bit," and added: "I don't think this order will make much difference in manpower supplies.

But it will hurt the employer who cannot afford to pay the extra amount in wages and it may very well be the straw that breaks the camel's back." Rumblings from Farm Belt Rumblings of discontent were heard from the farm belt in the wake of Byrnes' announced intention to fight against any increase in food price ceilings, and there were indications on Capitol Hill today that a showdown battle was in the making. Typical was this comment by Senator Aiken (R) of Vermont: "I don't like the attitude of the administration at all toward farm production." Support for the administration, however. came from Senator Byrd of Virginia who described the program as "a speedup in the right direction" and said it should be applied to the whole country as soon as possible. Manpower Commissioner McNutt indicated that the 48-hour week probably would be extended to other areas later, but it is not likely to reach cities having plentiful labor supplies, New York for example. The 32 areas affected immediately are: Bath.

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

next Monday the state's 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 Huron, Royal Oak and Birmingham have 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 of supervisors declined to vote issue, and will be ruled board.

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.

Reuthers said in a statement that the President's order "squares with labor's frequently expressed desire for the maximum utilization machinery and manpower." He said that the U. A.

"The effective guarantee will be to order payment to all workers guaranteed weekly wage in keeping standards fixed taken by the President.he "Having this forward which will help labor morale as well as advance the war effort, the federal government, through appropriate agencies should institute proceedings and conferences looking toward the establishment of industry-wide scales based on the principal of equal pay for similar work." Frank X. Martel, president of the Detroit and Wayne County Federation of Labor (A. F. of said he felt that "generally speaking," 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 center, 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, president of a C. I. O. local at the Firestone plant, said he feared "many workers will be made idle" by the lengthening of hours.

The Akron industrial union council. 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 Association 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 production labor costs "then firms with war contracts figured without overtime and those whose prices are controlled by OPA will go broke." Officials of big industries Macon, area said the "order would not affect them, as they already were on a work basis or more hours a week, and Frank Brooks, president of retail merchants' bureau, said the order was "probably just what we need."

Bankhead (D) of Alabama, committee 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 for total armed forces of 200.000 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 reason for 9,000.000 men in the when they can't get more than 000,000 overseas this year. I have no objections to induction for the navy or air 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 manpower while we should be the arsenal and granary of the United Nations.

Member, ORDER OF THE GOLDEN RULE FOR FIFTEEN CONSECUTIVE YEARS SEND BOY SLAYER TO ALBION SCHOOL Ionia Youth, 15, Must Complete High School at Starr Commonwealth (Special to The State Journal) IONIA, Feb. 10-Russell Utter. 15. Ionia eighth grade student arrested last week for fatally stabbing his brother-in-law.

Clyde Laycock, 40. Ionia furniture factory worker, vas committed to the Starr Commonwealth school at Albion Tuesday br Judge Dale K. Jepson of probate court. Commitment was made when the youth appeared on a technical citation as a delinquent juvenile. As young Utter prepared to leave.

officials were furnished with a $50 check given by the Ionia Elks to buy clothing and other necessities declared needed by the youthful slaver. The court said it was reluctant to commit Utter as a criminal to a regular state penal institution because of his youth and circumstances surrounding the killing. It placed him on strict probation. however, with instructions to remain as the Starr Commonwealth until De has completed 12th grade schooling. warning that if he did not maintain a good record he would be subject to recall for regular criminal prosecutien.

Judge Jepson acted after a psychiatric examination was made of Utter by Dr. Perry C. Robertson. superintendent of Ionia state hospital, and after an intensive check of his school and family background was completed by sheriff's officers and Prosecutor Geer Smith. Doctor Robertson reported the youth normal and the other investigations showed the boy had a good personal and scholastic record at the Ionia junior high school.

Officials said that other investigation showed that Laycock. at whose home on South Dexter street the boy lived, had made it a practice constantly to reprimand and punish the youth. The killing occurred when young Utter was attempting to make pancakes over a faulty burning oil stave at the home. Laycock ordered him away and the youth refused to leave. Laycock then seized the boy and started pushing him about and hitting him, officers declared.

Urging complete mobilization of all civilians in the work and support of the Red Cross, Mr.

He said that service to the armed forces was the primary obligation of the organization. As a member of the delegation to Europe, Mr. Nicholson was a memof the mission that studied the needs created by the war and their recommendations became the groundwork for the extensive foreign war relief operations of the American Red Cross, totaling over $67,000,000 and in which more than 20,000,000 war victims have been assisted.

(the order) applies to all employment." Moreover, Fowler V. Harper, McNutt'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: 1 No increase in hourly wage rates beyond that allowed by the war labor board's "little steel formula," except in special cases.

This formula permits a 15 percent increase over January 1, 1941, levels to compensate for higher living costs. I 2 Incentive payments to farmers "enable us to increase production without increasing prices" but no change in the farm parity formula. 3 No further increase in the basic and essential cost of subsistence living. "We ntust break up the black markets." 4. Work by all where most needed.

"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." 5 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, Byrnes said, call for "a very substantial increase in our war production over last year's record-breaking goals." "They contemplate, within a measurable period of time," he said, "the invasion of Europe, one of the greatest military operations ever planned in history--a military campaign, which matter how successfully and brilliantly executed. will involve casualties such as this nation has never before endured." While warning that there "is no way that we can hope to improve or even to sustain our customary standards of living during the coming war year," Byrnes declared that if the worker's present purchasing power is preserved by a successful fight against inflation it will "constitute the basis of an unparalleled prosperity for American workers in the postwar period." Not Inflationary He contended that overtime ments resulting from the 48 hour week would not be inflationary, asserting: "Overtime payments have been an effective aid to increased production during the war.
