HIGHER STANDAR
D OF LIVING:
As the meeting broke up, President
R. J. Thomas of the UAW-CIO told
reporters the Board would issue no
statement at this time and that any
action on the union's part would be
announced at tomorrow's conference
of General Motors local unions.
Reach Policy
Thomas indicated, however, that
the Executive Board may have ar-
rived at a policy. He said the Board
"will have a recommendation which
it will make to the conference tomor-
row."
General Motors yesterday rejected
the recommendations of the fact-
finders that the corporation pay a
191/2 cents an hour wage increase, or
approximately 17.5 per cent.
Further consideration of the fact-
finding committee recommendation is
scheduled at a Sunday afternoon
meeting of the 200 delegates of GM
locals.
Demonstrations Called
The Executive Board is expected to
formulate recommendations to the
conference of delegates. The dele-
gates are empowered to authorize ac-
ceptance or rejection of any wage in-
crease.
Other developments in the strike
today included a demonstration by
225 war veterans who are members of
the UAW. In uniform and civilian at-
tire they paraded around the giant
General Motors Building. Similar
demonstrations were called for in
other cities.
Led by sound car playing military
airs, the marchers carried American
flags, union banners and placards. In-
cluded in the placard legends were:
"No apple-selling this time," "Unite
for Justice," "Heroes yesterday, un-
wanted today."
Chrysler Workers Return
The GM strike has entered its fifty-
third day with 175,000 GM workers
idle in 92 plants across the country.
The union has demanded a 30 per
cent wage rate increase.
Elsewhere, Chrysler Corp. called
3,000 workers back to work Monday
in its Dodge Truck Plant. The AFL
Teamsters Union today withdrew a
picket line which shut the plant
Tuesday. The company had said the
reason for the picket line was that
"Chrysler Corp. will not demand its
Dodge dealers employ only AFL driv-
ers." Union spokesmen said the dis-
pute was not settled, despite the pick-
ets' withdrawal.
OPA To Assist Veterans
With Housing Problems
DETROIT, Jan. 13 (/P) - The Of-
fice of Price Administration will give
all possible assistance to Detroit home
owners who want to share their homes
with veterans and their families.
This was promised today by W.
C. Haines, Area Rent Rirector.
He labeled as false, reports that
OPA regulations discourage the rent-
ing of rooms or remodeling for apart-
ments.

tion ri te new tar ills. Tis could be
extremely important to the U.S.,
since businessmen in such nations as
India and Australia, where the war
has resulted in the establishment of
new factories, are reported to be
thinking of new tariffs, new protec-
tive walls against manufactured goods
from the U. S. and other industrial
countries.
Preference Scaled Down
The British Empire has a system
called "Empire Preferences" which
blocks goods from non-empire na-
tions. Lower duties are charged on
goods imported from empire coun-
tries.
New Disorders
Erupt in Haiti
Trouble Is Caused by
Celebrating Crowds
PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, Jan. 121
-(P)-Fresh disorders erupted today
throughout troubled Haiti after aj
night of unrestrained celebration of
the overthrow of the iron regime of
President Elie Lescot and the seizure
of control by a three-man military
junta.
From 15 to 20 persons were reported
to have been killed and some 100
wounded in yesterday's coup d'etat. As
night fell jubilant crowds in this
French-speaking Caribbean capital
plunged into wild and weird demon-
strations which lasted into daylight.
They danced to voodoo chants and
shouted the national anthem.
Crowds were said to have put the
torch to the residence of the former
Minister of Information and Police,
Gontran Rouzier.
Lescot's hilltop mansion was empty.
It was believed the president and his
family either were aboard a ship
which slipped quietly into port last
night, or else had been hurried away
by army men to a hideout where Les-
cot would await trial and probable
exile.
The leftist Front Democratique
Unitie, the first political party to ap-
pear on the scene here in years, still
withheld its support from the Junta,
but reports from the rest of this tiny.
mountainous republic indicated a
large popular majority favored the
chance.

This protection covered most prod-
ucts made in the Empire which were
in competition with similar products
made elsewhere. It cost us many sales
-but then we had cut British sales
here with our tariff wall.
Under the proposals this "Empire
Preference" system would be scaled
down as the U. S. reduced tariffs. The
same would apply to other prefer-
nces, such as our preference treat-
ment of Philippine sugar and coco-
nut oil, and the French preferences
for products from her colonies.
