THE MICHIGAN DAILY SIvDAY, NOV. 5, 1944 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. siI , Special classes in typewriting, for personal or office use.

HAMILTON Business College William at State Ph. 7831 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. .. f " . U.S.S.R. Left 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.

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.
