Still Try For
Settlement
Fact-Finders Entitled
To Examine Firm's Books,
Assertion of Truman
(By the Associated Press)
The lengthy wage controversy
between General Motors and the
CIO United Auto Workers union
appeared headed for another
showdown today, in the wake of
President Truman's decision that
company financial records are
relevant in wage disputes.
Top ranking officials of the
corporation and the union, in
Washington for hearings by the
government fact-finding board
studying the nation's major labor
problem, prepared to confer in
an attempt to agree on a basis
for resumption of collective bar
gaining on strike issues. Some
200,000 GM employes have been
die for one month following a
strike in support of the union's
demands for a 30 per cent wage
rate increase.
Book Scrutiny Upheld
The GM Danel was to resume
hearings today, having recessed
to study Mr. Truman s statement,
which said that fact-finding
hoards investigating labor dis
putes "should unquestionably have
the right to examine the em
ployer's books." Later Mr. Tru
man told a news conference that
boards also should have power
to examine a labor union's books.
The authority of the fact-finding
boards to consider profits
and prices in connection with
wage increase demands had
stowed the progress of the two
panels studying wage disputes
the General Motors strike and
in the oil industry's wage con
troversy. Before Mr. Truman's decision,
General Motors had advised the
panel it would withdraw from
hearings if profits and prices
were considered as evidence.

The povernmcnt's propram to

announced today.
The chief of the Civilian Pro

that dwellings costing $10,000 or

Small estimated that at least

the program in 19-16.
"We expect," he added, "that a
substantial number of these will
sell at considerably less than
Sio.ooo."
This means. Small said, that a
great many of the new dwellings
will rent for under $0 a month.

a iov. n, i:m, "war warning
message for Pacific commanders.
(The Japanese bomtxM'S and
torfiedo bombers sank or badly
damaged all the major units in
the fleet at Pearl Harbor.)
"We had there a total of 185
fighter aircraft. The Japanese
had, according to my informa

and a portion of their reconnais
sance planes were maintained
over the carrier group as protec

portion of our fighters had been
in the air I believe the
Japanese attack would have been
much less severe in its results."

able to the defenders of Pearl

Turner upheld his warning
message of Nov. 27 as entirely
adequate. He said it was not
