I took the initiative.** Murphy asked it he told Kimmel “about the letters you were Writing.” Safford said he d'd not. In an effort to find out whether Safford ever told Oov. Thomas E. Dewey or any of his UMociatta about Japanese code-breaking, Murphy demanded to know whether he talked “to anyone else In New York state and gave them any Informal Ion.” Safford said he was positive he did not The fact that Dewey, during bis 1944 presidential campaign, knew of the highly secret code-breaking han been brought oat earlier In the congressional hearing.

“How soon can I get back to work after the strike?” Many worker have asked G-E officials this question: H How soon can I get back to work after the strike?” Here’s our best guess •..

Probably about half of G-E employees can be put back to work within the first week after the strike is over. In some plants the figure may be higher. General Electric will attempt to have workers back in their jobs with as little delay as possible. Conditions aren’t the same in all G-E plants, but here are a few examples of dislocations caused by the strike that will interfere with immediate work for everyone the day the strike ends. MATERIAL SHORTAGES . . . Material deliveries have been blocked during the * strike. Sdarce materials we had on order may have been diverted to other companies. We don’t know. Office people who should be keeping track, will have to find out. Before production line workers can start, the flow of materials must be organized again. SHUT-DOWN MACHINES .. Continuous processes, once stopped, require considerable time to get started again. Machines

must be put in running condition. Maintenance and repair work will be a bottleneck. Until this work Is done, some production jobs may be held up. ENGINEERING BOTTLENECK . . Even before the strike started, the shortage of designers and draftsmen put us behind on engineering instructions to our factories. In one plant, we could have put 3000 more people to work if we’d only had the engineering instructions to tell them what to do. The strike has put plants further behind on this work. ORDERS MUST BE REVIEWED .. Some customers may have switched their orders elsewhere, or may be unable to accept strike-delayed deliveries. Work on many contracts cannot restarted without checking with customers. We are anxious to get back into production as quickly as possible, but dislocations caused by the strike are bound to be felt for a long time.
