4,500 STRIKERS
OUT AT WAR FIRM
DETROIT, March 28, — (JP) —An
estimated 4,500 workers were idle
at the Packard Motor Car Co., to
day in a dispute centering about
the discharge of a union steward.
Company spokesmen reported the
•‘strike situation is growing worse’!
as the walkout, which began today,
affected its production* of aircraft
and marine engines in three plants.
Packard representatives said 1,
800 workers were idle in the “D”
, division, which turns out major
parts for aircraft engines. They
estimated 70 per cent had quit
their jobs, while the remainder
were sent home by the company
because of difficulty in maintain
ing schedules in face of the walk
outs.
At the Marine division, 1,500 walk,
ed out, while 700 left Herne Ave.
plant. An additional 538 were
sent home from the aircraft divi
sion. ., . .
Louie de Bearn, president of
Packard Local 190. United Auto
mobile Workers (CIO) termed the
stoppage unauthorized and said
the union’s executive board has
ordered the workers bacK to their
jobs.
Both company and union spokes
men agreed the walkout lesulted
from company discharge of John
Krulock, former steward of the
local. The company said he was
fired March 23 for calling 237 work
ers out on a 24-hour strike follow
ing an argument over a company
study of time standards in the
marine packing department.

Today and Tomorrow
--By WALTER LIPFMANN
Some plain speaking now aoout
the San Francisco conference may
save us much trouble and disap
pointment later on. For in relation
to the task of the conference, and
even more in relation to the ex
pectations which have been allow
ed to build themselves up, the
preparation is so faulty that the
only prudent estimate is to say
that if a satisfactory result is
achieved it will have to be by
brilliant improvisation.
* * *
It now seems reasonable certain
that the climax of the European
war will have begun before and
will continue during the conference,
rhe heads of states and the for
eign ministers of all the principal
powers are bound to be preoccu
pied in making the immediate,
momentous and urgent decisions
which are called for by the wholly
unprecedented conditions under
which the war in Europe is com
ing to its end. Yet at that time
they are supposed to be in San
Francisco, or to have their minds
fixed on San Francisco, and to
be deliberating upon the drafting
Df a charter which is to govern the
bng future in international af
fairs.
it is oovious tnat ttooseven,
Churchill, Stalin, De Gaulle, Chi
mg Kai-shek, cannot settle down
o the business at San Francisco:
hey have to be in Washington,
l,ondon, Moscow, Paris and
Chungking, at the seat of their gov
ernments where they are in hour
.y personal contact with their
orincipal advisers and lieutenants,
it will not be much easier for the
foreign ministers to be away not
inly from their own capital cities
rut from any capital city where
here are embassies and the other
'acilities ethat are needed in the
:onduct of international affairs.
'Jo matter how ingeniously com
nunication is arranged with San
rrancisco, it is difficult to believe
hat men with the responsibilty Qf
£den, Molotov, Bidault, would
iare at this time in the shaping
>f events to absent themselves for
nore than the briefest period
rom their governments and their
lepartments, and to devote their
ninds with the necessary leisure
and deliberation to writing the
:harter.
Yet if the principal delegates
ire not the men who have the
luthority to reach decisions, the
vork done at San Francisco will
lave to be referred back to the
:apitals, and re-examined in dip
omatic exchanges among the cap
tals.
Since the decisive military cam
Daigns which are now launched
vere determined at Yalta, it is
lifficult to understand why the
United Nations conference was
lixed for San Francisco at the end
if April. The peace schedule does
lot fit the military time-table. The
nilitary climax of the war calls
for political decisions which can
lot be made at San Francisco;
he drafting of the charter requires
he attention of the very same
nen who must make these politi
:al decisions, and they cannot be
it San Francisco or at least they
:annot remain there long enough
o do the work as it should be
lone.
The difficulty would be much

conferences or rasi summer, a
more serious and efficient effort
had been made to settle the chief
points of disagrement before the
San Francisco meeting. There
were two Dumbarton Oaks con
ferences last summer, the first by
the Soviet Union, Britain and the
United States, and the second, im
mediately thereafter, by China,
Britain and the United States.
Then the conferences stopped.
They should have gone on. There
should na^e been another Dum
barton Oaks conference as soon as
possible after the recognition of
the French Provisional Govern
ment. There should have been an
other Dumbarton Oaks conference
with the extremely important so
called ‘“middle powers,” Canada,
the Netherlands, Belgium. Brazil
and Mexico. But, as it turned out,
all the issues that these Dumbar
ton Oaks conferences could have
resolved carefully and deliberate
ly are to be dumped into the hurly
burly of the San Francisco meet
ing.
ais _1__ 1_3 __ _
with international conferences have
learned that the first rule for suc
cess is to have substantial agree
ment in advance on all questions
of vital interests and high prin
ciple. The promoters and manag
ers of the San Francisco meeting
have not observed this rule, and
it is, therefore, of the highest im
portance that we prepare our
selves to deal with the risks this
imposes upon us.
There is the risk of intermina
ble debate which, because the
lime-light will be on the confer
ence, might become irreconcilable
once a delegation had committed
itself publicly and was unable
without loss of face to retreat.
There is the countervailing risk
that the great powers impatient
with too long a debate, will cut
it short and railroad decisions
which will leave governments and
people resentful that they have
been denied an adequate hearing.
There is the over-all risk that
statesmen will be so preoccupied
with the immediate issues at the
end of the war, that the best wis
dom of the best minds will sim
ply not be applied to the charter.
* * *
No doubt it is loo late to hold
the other Dumbarton Oaks con
ferences that should have been
held, though much could and
should still be done through dip
lomatic channels before the meet
ing. No doubt it is too late to
repair the mistake of judgment
in not placing the conference in
a capital city where there exist
facilities of international inter
course that cannot possibly be
transplanted to the San Francisco
hotels.
But it is not too late to consid
er earnestly whether there cannot
be devised a safety valve or an
escape clause against the conse
quences of having to do too big
a job too quickly at the wrong
place under very difficult condi
tions at a supreme juncture in hu
man affairs. The risks might be
minimized either by a general
provision that the charter ia to be
provisional for say ten years and
then is to be revised, or perhaps
better still by setting up the or
ganization as outlined at Dumbar
ton Oaks, and then giving it au
thority to do at leisure and de
liberately what the San Francisco
conference is supjposed to do—
namely to perfect the provisional
charter and the provisional organ
ization.
For in one way or another we
shall have to guard against the
notion that San Francisco can pro
duce, or should be expected to
produce, a conclusive and perfect
ed constitution for the world of
the future.

DIPLOMATS STUDY
ARGENTINE PLANS
WASHINGTON. March 28. — (ip)
—Diplomats of the Americas work
ed today on procedure toward rec
ognizing Argentina and re-estab
lishing diplomatic unity in the
hemisphere.
After almost a year of isolation,
the Argentine government, which
the State Department called Fas
cist last fall, prepared to take its
place in American councils. It now
has declared war on the Axis.
A meeting' of Latin American
ambassadors with Assistant Secre
tary of State Nelson Rockefeller
is set for Saturday.
This gives the other nations a
few days to watch how Buenos
Aires carries out its declarations
of war, although all concerned
have made it a point to say that
Argentina has given no evidence of
lack of sincerity.
The meeting Saturday is expect
ed to, be followed by an announce
ment in the Pan-American Union
stating that Argentina is in a posi
tion to sign the Mexico City reso
lutions. These impose obligations
to carry out measures required for
Western Hemisphere security.

OPA Raises Point Value j
Of Pork And By-products
WASHINGTON, March 28: —(#)
—The OPA tonight ordered a boost
in ration point values for pork and
pork products, effective next Sun
day.
Increases also were ordered for
lard, shortening, margarine, salad
and cookingoil .
Point values for all cuts of beef,
lamb, veal, and butter remain un
changed. Point values for most
cheeses also remain the same.
Price Administrator Chester
Bowles said the higher point values
for pork and pork products were
necessary to aid in getting better
distribution of the supply that is
available and because it is esti
mated that about five per cent
less pork will be available for
rationing during April than during
March.
While less meat will be available
for civilians in the months ahead,
Bowles said “there is no cause for
alarm.”
“The figures will show,” he com
mented, “that while we’ll have less
meat during the rest of the year,
we will still have enough to meet
all essential needs.
“The War Food Administration
has estimated that there will be
about 12 per cent less meat for
civilians during the second quarter
than we had during the first three
months of this year.
“However, this decrease will be
felt very little during the April
rationing period. Later in the quar
ter—in May and June—there is
normally a sharp seasonal decline
in the production of meat and the
decrease will be felt to a greater
extent that time than in April.”
Increases for most pork cuts and
pork products are one or two points
a pound. Center chops are advanc
ed from 10 to 12 points; end chops
from 6 to 7; ham slices from 10 to
12; loin roasts from 7 to 8.
Sausages are advanced a point
a pound, and there are increases ci
one to two points for most sau
sage products, meats in tin or
glass containers and for many
ready-to-eat meats.
Lard, shortening, salad and
cooking oils go up from 4 to €
points a pound and margarine from
5 to 8 points.
Bowles said it was necessary tc
establish higher point values foi
fats and oils, except butter, be
cause of the reduced quantities
that will be available in April and
to make supplies more readily
available.

Coal For Tobacco Curing
Will Be Sold By Dealers
RALEIGH, March 28. —{IP)—The
Solid Fuels Administration for
War announced here today that
coal to be used for tobacco curing
would be available to farmers this
year through coal dealers in all
sections of the tobacco belt.
The SFA said the order applied
to coal used in either hand fired'
or stoker fired barns. Dealers will
have a supply of coal on hand
for delivery well in advance of
maturing of the crop, the order
said.
A survey is being made by the
Agricultural Adjustment Agency
to determine the amount and kind
of coal each farmer will need and
a certificate will be furnished
farmers who use coal for curing.
The certificate must be surrender
ed to the dealer from whom the
coal is bought.
