At Lansing Governor Kelly said late today he had conferred by tele- phone with Mayor Orville Hubbard of Dearborn and was assured that Hubbard would "see to it that every kind of police protection will be given the Ford Motor Company." Spokesmen for the company and the United Automobile Workers (CIO) professed no knowledge of what set off the blockade action. A demonstration in the aircraft unit last week resulted in discharge of ten employes and indefinite sus- pension of ten others. Rausch, plant superintendent, in his telegram blamed the blockade on "a small group of irresponsible union members most of whom had been discharged with the consent of the officers of the UAW-CIO because of an unauthorized work stoppage." Mmne. Barzin Speaks On Undergiround "In reality the work of the under- ground is far more dangerous and secretive than we can possibly imag- ine from our report through radio and press," Madame Betty Barzin said last night in her discussion of the Belgian underground. It is interesting to note from her comprehensive discussion that the few refugees, soldiers and messengers to the outside world making the long trek through occupied France and hostile Spain \who are "lost on their way are usually lost in Spain, where the underground is least effective. If caught in Spain they are sent to the Miranda concentration camp, and are occasionally freed when the Franco government approaches the U.S. Embassy in Madrid for a ship- ment of oil or wheat. "Perhaps the guiding ideal of the Belgian underground is that there shall be no 'third edition' of this last war," Mme. Barzin concluded. <"> ROCKET TARGET-A rocket target is released from a wheeled pro- jector designed to be fired at varying angles to give U.S. anti-aircraft gunners practice with a target closely simulating speed of enemy air- craft.

FRENCH LECTURE: Dr. Hs tie To Discucss Belgian Relations with Europe Today "A concern today with the prob- lems of the post-war period does not represent a diversion of energy from the main job but is a requirement for the completion of that job, which is nothing less than the preservation of a free society," Clare E. Griffin, pro- fessor of Business Economics at the University said in an article on "Post-war Unemployment" in the recent issue of the Michigan Alum- nus Quarterly Review. Discussing employment in the post-war world, Prof. Griffin stated, "In all probability to attain a healthy economic state, employment will have to be substantially higher than in even our best years of the pre-war period. "If we do reach and maintain this level of employment and production which our labor force, productive plant and skills would make feasible, we will, I believe, find it possible to bear the burden of war debt and to progress to a substantially higher standard of living in this country." Considering the possibility that this challenge can be met, Prof. Griffin said that immediately after the war there is the danger of serious inflation unless we have a continua- tion of wartime price controls and rationing of goods for consumers and producers, which must be relaxed gradually in such a manner as to "stimulate production but avoid in- flation." "The immediate post-war period will be crucial in the sense that it may set the pattern for several years to come," he continued. "This fact places heavy responsibility upon bus- iness and upon government. What can be done at that time will depend upon plans that are laid in advance. In some industries conversion will require only producing the same or substantially the same things for civilians instead of for soldiers. "In others it will require a shifting back to pre-war products and in still others, where plants have been ex- panded, it will require the production of new products." Prof. Griffin advocated planning by individual businessmen-'grass roots' planning as distinguished from 'overall' planning" and stated that "the government also has certain responsibilities." "No amount of unemployment compensation that the government can possibly provide will' be a fair substitute for a high level ofbproduc- tive private employment," Prof. Grif- fin said. He urges that tax systems be made now for the prompt termi- nation of government contracts so that the necessary funds will be pro- vided for post-war expansion. He also advocates the speedy removal of government owned equipment from private plants as soon as the war is over. "The government should be slow to extend its activities into fields presently occupied by piivate efforts but should be directed to preventing individuals and groups from them- selves establishing barriers to the workings of the free market," Prof. Griffin continued. He urges that the tax systems should be devised which would avoid directly interfering with the invest- ment of "venture capital and the assumption of business risks." Con- sidering the question of the national debt he said, "An easy optimism is not suggested but rather that the debt-bearing capacity is dependent upon our national income." & Don't miss ""TO M SAWYER," A r , it Dr. Jan Frans Hostie, Legal Coun- sellor in Foreign Affairs to the Bel- gian Government and lecturer in Regional Study Programs here, will discuss Belgium and its relations with Europe at 4 p.m. today in Room 4, Alumni Memorial Hall for the fifth program in the present French lec- ture series. Represented Belgium at Peace Table Dr. Hostie, who is from Ghent in Flanders, represented Belgium at the Peace Conference of Paris in 1919 in matters of communications and in the Transport Section of the Eco- nomic Supreme Council. He was Sec- retary General of the Central Com- mission for Navigation on the Rhine from 1921 to 1937. Since 1920 he has been connected with the activities of the League of Nations, especially in the field of communications, and is still a member of the Permanent Legal Committee of the Organization for Communications and Transit of the League. Pleas for Unity In discussing the lecture he will give today, "La Belgique et l'Europe nouvelle," Dr. Hostie said he will point out that Belgium, Luxumbourg and the Netherlands should be looked on as one group and furthermore not as an exclusively European territory. For, he said, the col nial territories of the group are about 75 times greater than their European terri- tory. He said he 'will show how there is a growing link between the Scan- dinavian countries and the Low COVERS NOW AVAILABLE Countries and between Belgium and Switzerland. Tickets Still On Sale He said that if there is time he hopes to discuss the relations be- tween the Low Countries and France. In this category he would discuss the military potentials of these countries, the feasibility of an inter-Allied com- mand, the problem of Alsace and Lorraine and the possibility of a common policy on the part of these countries toward Germany. Tickets for the lecture may be pur- chased from the Secretary of the Romance Languages Department or at the door at the time of the lecture. for the . ............. ...... . .. :. . . . ..,. : :. ,.,.. . . . . ...":: " ..."...,:."::::,"":r..ao..:.:r.':~ :.°,:".r".;i },"r.":. ; ..x ... .. ........... . . .".. ..s::o::.a~o:or;>::o: "::}r.. ::};. ,..:..:.:. c. :< t "::{:;r:..,o:. :< .:....":......c.,.. a 6~ Li I~ A 1944 ENSIAN Buy now!

But on the home front, other thousands of doc- tors and nurses are fighting doubly hard to keep their fellow-citizens of Michigan in good health - doing everything in their power to prevent or minimize interruptions in our State's war effort. In a very real sense the well-being of all of us in Michigan is in the capable hands of approximately 6,000 physicians and surgeons and about 14,000 nurses. At their disposal are the facilities of 252 hospitals which have beds for nearly 60,000 patients at one time. In an aver- age year more than 525,000 patients are admitted to these institutions.

We of the Greyhound Lines pay tribute to these fellow-citizens of ours who are doing so much to make our State a finer place to live in. They're doing a big job -a vital one. Greyhound's job is quite different-but vital, too! Providing safe, convenient transportation service is particularly important now. By making near neighbors and good neighbors of all the communities we serve in Michi- gan, we are helping unify the war efforts of this State - keeping them rolling toward Victory!
