rmy Takes Over Seven
ants on MESA Strike
By The Associated Press
DETROIT, NOV. 4-The Army to-
day took over seven Toledo war plants
and the shell division of another be-
cause, an Army officer asserted,
strikes have "stopped the flow of am-
munition, guns, trucks and tanks to
General Eisenhower and General
MacArthur.
Immediately following the seizure,
Matthew Smith, general secretary of
the unaffiliated Mechanics Educa-
tional Society of America, who called
the Toledo strikes as well as others
in Detroit, summoned a meeting of
his organization's executive commit-
tee.
He declined to say what action
might be taken at the committee
meeting which he described as a
"huddle."
Decision Up To Employes
"We are aware that it is against
the law to agitate work stoppages in
plants seized by the government," he
said. "If the employes want to re-
turn to work without settlement of
our dispute with the United Auto-
mobile Workers (CIO) that probably
will be a question for them to de-
cide," he said.
The Toledo plants were taken over
by. Col. Phillip R. Faymonville, who
sent groups of three officers into
each plant to inform the manage-
ment the Army was taking over. He
said production would be resumed in
all the plants Monday morning and
that all employes, regardless of their
union affiliation, were to report zor
duty.
The plants taken over today under
presidential order were Baker Broth-
ers, Great Lakes Stamping Company,
Ohio Tool and Die Co., Inshield P c'-
ducts Co., Crescent Engineering Cor-
poration, Toledo Steel Tube Co.,
Wayne Metal Products Co., and the
Shell Division of Willys-Overland
Motors, Inc.

About 4,500 MESA members were
involved in the Toledo strikes that asf-
fected a total of more than a score.
of factories. In the Detroit area an
estimated 8,000 members of the un-
ion joined in the work stoppage.
Meanwhile MESA officials said ap-
proximately 25,000 members of thy:
union in 15 Cleveland area plants had
voted their willingness to join in the
work stoppages Monday. Smith em-
phasized, however, that no order had
been given for the Cleveland workec6l
to join in the strike.
Smith said that all his union had
asked was the re-instatement at
Auto-Lite of the six discharged em-
ployes. This, he said, the UAW-CIO
had refused to permit.I
CIO Record Clear
George F. Addes, secretary-treas.-
urer of the UAW-CIO, in a statement
said:
"The intervention of the Army in
the Toledo situation is not in any
way aimed at the CIO and its mem-
bership. I have been in touch with
the war department for days and
they fully understand the fact that
our union and our membership in
Toledo have had no part in the in-
terruption of production of vital war
materials."
He said members of the MESA
"have been forced out on a 'spite'
strike which has no basis in wages,
hours, working conditions or union
principles."
More than 8,000 workers were idle
in two other strikes in the Detroit
area.
Return-to-work pleas of oificials
of Local 90, UAW-CIO, were rejected
by 1,200 striking employes at the
Fruehauf Trailer Co. plant, and fhe
officials called another membership
meeting for Monday morning. The
walkout stemmed from a company
refusal to pay a group of workers in
the body shop for time lost during
an argument whether two employes
had made war chest contributions.
Good Weather
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-(/')--The
Weather Bureau said today election
day weather is not likely to be severe
enough in any locality to keep voters
home.
The Bureau added that detailed,
forecasts, for election day weather,
will be issued Monday.

Out of Program
For Air Routes
CHICAGO, Nov. 4.- (P)- The
United States, which has taken the
position that seats in the executive
council of a proposed world air au-
thority should be available to Russia
if she wants them, has nonetheless
deleted the Soviet from her program
for desirable air routes.
-This was shown today in a com-
parison of the 20 routes submitted
to the International Civil Aviation
Conference with the corresponding
list of routes made public by the
Civil Aeronautics Board last June as
a world pattern of 140,000 miles of
American flag skyways.
The submission of the route pat-
tern to the conference committee
dealing with them followed the pre-
sentation of a draft convention or
proposed multilateral treaty to the
committee in that field in which
provision was made for two seats
for Russia, a representative equal to
that of either the entire British
Empire or the United States. ,
Along with tie removal of points
in Russia from its air transport pat-
tern deemed desirable for American
operation, the revised draft showed
the addition of stops in Spain, the
Netherlands and Romania.
Amsterdam and Bucharest were
added to routes extending from New
York to Cairo by way of Newfound-
land or Labrador, Eire, England,
Netherlands, Germany, Czechoslo-
vakia, Austria, Romania, and Iran.

Serviee Ballots May
Decide '44 Election
Autihorities IPrc(dIict
By ED CREAGH
NEW YORK, NOV. 4--P)-For the
first time since the Civil War, great
numbers of fighting men will take
part next Tuesday in the election of
a President of the United States.
There is every indication that their
part will be a major one.
Somewhere between 3,000,00 and
4,000,000 service men-and women of
the auxiliary services-will vote by
absentee ballot, according to esti-
mates by state election officials.
Forecasts of the total vote range
from 39,500,000 to 50,000,000.
Officials of at least 11 states-with
206 of the 531. electoral votes-have
expressed the opinion that the soldier
vote could be decisive in this elec-
tion.
Each of 10 other states, with 112
electoral votes among them, expects
a soldier vote larger than the plur-
ality it gave to President Roosevelt
or to Wendell L. Willkie, his Repub-
lican opponent, in 1940.
Thus the'soldier vote appears like-
ly to be an important if not a decis-
ive factor in determining whether
the 131electoral votes of 21 states
will go to Roosevelt or to Gov.
Jhomas E. Dewey. Either candidate
needs 266 votes to win.
In most states the service vote
will not be tabulated separately from
the civilian vote, and thus the total
number of servicemen and women
voting for Roosevelt or Dewey never
will be known.
Eleven states will count some or all
of their military ballots after elec-
lion day, giving rise to the possibility
that, in the event of a very close
election, the outcome might be in
doubt for several days or even weeks.
If, for example, either candidate
iwnded Pennsylvania's ,35 electoral
votes to win, the outcome might not
be known until Nov. 22, when Penn-
sylvania begins to count its estimated
250.000 soldier votes.
