1000,000 Ex-W ar Workers
Jobless as Plants Cut Payrolls
By The Associated Press
Plants and shipyards throughout the country continued to scale down
their payrolls yesterday (Wed.), but evidence appeared that many former
war workers were in no great hurry to obtain jobs in private industry.
An Associated Press survey showed far more than 1,000,000 persons
already released because of war contract terminations, and brought into

Medical Care,
Health Program
To Be Inspected
As part of a three monh tour
throughout the United States and
Canada to survey health and wel-
fare organizations and their activi-
ties, Mis Rita de Cassia de Revoredo,
of Brazil, is here for a week to inspect
the Medical Care Plan of the Uni-
versity Hospital.
Under the auspices of the State
Department, Miss de Revoredo is
accumulaing material on health pro-
jects for a report on methods which
can be adopted for use in Brazil.
'Her tour here is being arranged by
Dr. Nathan Sinai, and will include
reviewing the public health depart-
ment and the special English depart-
ment courses designed for foreign
students.
Miss de Revoredo who worked and
lived in S. Paulo, Brazil, before she
came to this country, was on the staff
of the Medical Department of the
Bureau of Commerce Workers of the
Brazilian Federal Social Security Or-
ganization. She will submit a report
on her findings to the home office of
this organization in Rio.
During the past academic year,
Miss de Revoredo has been a scholar-
ship student of social work at George
Peabody College, Nashville, Tenn. In
connectioi with her present field
study, she has spent two months in
Toronto viewing the workings of the
Workman's Compensation Board.
There, she visited clinics where she
studied the use of occupational ther-
apy and physio-therapy. Her next
stop will be the Ford plant in Detroit,
where she will study the company
medical care plan.
Court Survey
Recommended
State Bar Association
Questions Adequacy
LANSING, Aug. 22 - (P) - The
State Bar Association's Committee
on the State Constitution today pro-
posed a survey of the adequacy of
Michigan probate courts.
Chairman WalterS.Foster of Lan-
sing recommended obtaining basic
viewpoints on the activities of pro-
bate courts. Through a question-
naire to attorneys and a detailed
study of the courts in typical coun-
ties.
Subjects for investigation include:
whether probate judges should be
lawyers, whether some of the pro-
bate court functions, particularly the
purely legal maters, should not be
consolidated in the circuit courts, and
whether appeals from the probate
courts should be taken directly to the
Supreme Court.
Indicating that the State Judicial
Council on Minor Courts might soon
recommend removal of the office of
Justice of the Peace and transfer of
justice court jurisdictions to other
courts, the committee declared it
would wait for such a recommenda-
tion before making final suggestions
' on the probate courts.

Heavy Demand For Store Workers
While a true picture of the number
released and quickly absorbed by pri-
vate industry was impossible because
of fluctuating conditions, a relatively
heavy demand for workers in food
and general merchandise stores as
well as in service establishments was
noted.
At the same time, some indication
was seen that a start was being
made on the restoration of pre-war
services. At San Francisco, installa-
tion of dial telephones was resumed.
Meat and soap salesmen again were
soliciting orders in Boston.
VU Vet Group
Plays Vital Role
In Adjustment
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the fourth in
a series of articles entitled, "What Uni-
versity Agencies Are Doing for the World
War II Veteran."
The Veterans' Organization of the
University, only recognized Univer-
sity vet organization, is performing
an integral role in helping the ex-
serviceman become adjusted to his
"new life."
Formed more than a year ago to
further intellectual, cultural and so-
cial ends both in and outside the
group, a definite statement of the
group's aims was issued recently by
Robert E. Andrews, president of the
VO. Included among its purposes
are:
Clarifies Laws
(1) To clarify, by investigation,
the meaning of laws applying to
veterans; (2) To assist veterans in
solving financial, social and educa-
tional problems; (3) To gain close
cooperation with the Veterans Ad-
ministration in administering bene-
fits; (4) To gain close cooperation
with the University in handling and
preventing veteran problems; (5) To
inform veterans of rights and respon-
sibilities.
(6) To provide veteran social af-
fairs; (7) To coordinate veteran ac-
tivity with other campus activities;
(8) To represent the veterans of the
University; (9) To assist veterans in
housing and " subsistence problems;
and (10) To further international co-
operation on the student and intel-
lectual level.
Housing Service
With the last two aims in mind, the
VO has set up a housing referral
service and will soon provide for a
student exchange program in which
University veterans will attend high-
er educational institutions overseas
in exchange for veterans of Euro-
pean and Asiatic nations.
Information concerning the VO
may be obtained by writing the Vet-
erans Organization, Lane Hall, Ann
Arbor.
Exchange Students After
War Is Hyma's Topic
"Exchange Students in the Post
War World" will be the subject of a
talk to be given by Prof. Albert Hyma
of the history department at the All
Nations Club meeting 7:30 p. m.
EWT next Thursday at the Interna-
tional Center.
Members of the organization will
elect an additional member to the
executive committee at the meeting.
Foreign and American students are
eligible for full membership in the
club. A semester fee of one dollar
will entitle new members to partici-
pate, at minimum charges, in a hay-
ride, tea dances, a lecture series and
a formal dance which are being plan-
ned.

Idle Workers
In Detroit Seek
Compensauion
By The Associated Press
DETROIT, Aug. 22-Thousands of1
Detroit workers, idled temporarily byl
the war's quick ending and resulting
contract terminations, continued to
flock to government offices in search
of jobs or compensation today, but
estimates as to the size of the unem-
ployment list varied considerably.
Edward L. Cushman, state director'
of the War Manpower Commission,
said a survey of large plants in the
Detroit area indicated that "more
than 150,000" had been laid off since
reconversion began. Figures from
hundreds of small plants here and
outstate would boost the total much
higher, he added.
Officials of the United Automobile
Workers (CIO) and other labor
unions estimated the idle at 200,000
and predicted a 50,000 increase by
next week-end.
.fAn even higher forecast-300,000-
before the week is up. was made by
the Michigan Unemployment Com-
pensation Commission.
MUCC spokesmen were confident,
however, that all claims could be
met out of the unemployment com-
pensation fund, which amounted to
$293,889,347 last Saturday.
"Even if we had 600,000 unemploy-
ed receiving maximum base unem-
ployment compensation benefits of
$20 a week for 20 weeks," one of
them said, "the fund would not be
wiped out."

Ousted Warden
Asks Hearing
By The Associated Press
LANSING, Aug. 22-rhe State
Supreme Court was asked by Harry
H. Jackson, dismissed warden of the
State Prison of Southern Michigan,
today to return him to his position
and require the State Corrections
Commission to give him a hearing
on charges of maladministration
which led to his ouster.
Through his atorneys, Harry D.
Boardman and Edward F. Behan,
Jackson petitioned the court for a
writ of mandamus, contending the
Corrections Commission had violated
an 1893 statute which required the
former prison commission to dismiss
a warden only for cause and to grant
him a hearing.
