400 Workers
Leave Posts
DETROIT, Jan. 8.--P)--A Chrysler
Corporation spokesman said today
that 400 employes left their jobs in
the Chrysler engineering building to
attend a union meeting this after-
noon.
The workers are represented by the
United Automobile Workers (CIO),
which could not be reached for com-
ment.
The company spokesman termed
the dispute "a serious strike against
the war effort because of the secret
experimental work being conducted
in the Chrysler engineering labora-
tcries." No explanation for the em-
ployes' action was given by manage-
ment, but a Corporation spokesman
noted that 51 sheet metal workers
stopped work yesterday in protest
against a five-day disciplinary layoff
given to an employe for refusing to do
work assigned to him.

If you like a bargain and who
doesn't, we found some good
ones at CALKINS-FLETCHER
DRUG. They have that won-
derful Dorothy Gray's Dry Skin
Cream which usually sells for
$2.25 marked down to $1.00;
and Tussey's dollar size hand
lotion for fifty cents.
For the fascinator that truly
fascinates see the beautiful
ones at the VAN AKKEREN
KNIT SHOP across from An-
gell Hall. They also have many
beautiful shades of yarn for
that sweater you want to make,
and to solve the problem of
cold toes on these wintry nights
try their hand-knit bed socks.
The 1944 ful-year automobile license plates,
which went on sale Monday, are to be used only on

manufacturing cost, according to Secretary of State
Herman H. Dignan, left, shown above with J. I.
Herndon, Lansing manager of the Automobile Club
of Michigan. The new plates have a maroon back-
ground with white numerals. --AP Photo
