WLB PANEL ASKS 6. M. PAY BOOST

‘Recommends 5-Cent Raise

For 225,000 War Plants.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15 (U. P.).

—A war -labor . board panel, -in aj :

2-to-1 vote with the employer -representative dissenting, today recommended a 5 cents an hour pay increase, & union security shop and other concessions for 225,000 General Motors Corp. employees who sought a $l-a-day pay raise. -The panel proposed a flat increase of 115 cents an hour as a “cost of

~ living. adjustment,” plus an addi-

tional 3% cents an hour to equalize wage rates “throughout all General Motors plants with the rates for comparable operations throughout

Ford plants.” -

Panel Includes Bonus Other recommendations handed

down by the panel, which took over

the General Motors dispute April 27 on certification from the labor department, included vacations, a 10 per cent bonus for night workers and a minimum of three hours work for - call-ins after regular working hours. In addition, the panel recommended that all wage provisions be made retroactive to April 28, Extent Not Known

It could not be determined immediately to what extent the panel's recommendations—if they are accepted by the full board—would affect the future wage and work status of the 115,000 employees of the Ford Motor Co. and 85,000 employes of Chrysler Motor Co. The pay increase had been sought by the United Automobile, Aircraft and Agriculture workers and the United Electrical, Radio and Ma-

«chine Workers of America, (C. I.

O.), which have enrolled most of the General Motors employees.

DETROIT, Aug. 15 (U. P).—

~ Walter P. Reuther, chief of the

United Automobile Workers (C.1.0.) General Motors division and a vice

president of the union, expressed ‘dissatisfaction at the recommenda- - tions made by the war labor board.

He seid the panel's recommendation “does not take proper account of the continually rising living costs.” “Nor does it give due consideration to the profits of G. M. and the generous salary increases its executives are collecting.” G. M., officials declined comment.

ALLIES DECIDE T0 HOLD MALTA

Island Is Important Consideration of Second

Front.

By DAVID M. NICHOL

LONDON, Aug. 15—The most significant fact emerging from the

decision of the united nations’ strategy leaders that the island fortress of Malta must be held despite the heavy losses involved

in supplying it. There has been some 3peculation here recently that Malta might be abandoned because of the difficulties of maintaining its defense. That should effectively oe spiked by this newest action. Malta’s immediate importance is its utility as a base for attacking the air, sea and supply lines of Nazi Middle Eastern .Commander Gen, Field Marshal . Erwin Rommel. Its potential future value should a second front be opened in Italy cannot be ‘overlooked, however. “The government’s decision to supply Malta certainly is no indication that this is planned but at least it keeps the avenue open.

W AVES to Have Some Secrets

NEW YORK, Aug. 15 (U. P.). —What members of the Women's naval ‘reserve wear under their uniforms will be left to individual choice, Lieut. Comm. Mildred H. McAfee, commander of ‘the WAVES, said today. Commenting * that the public ‘seemed more interested in the uniform than in the type of women the corps is enlisting, she said that the navy will insist on regulations only for that part of the uniform that is visible. “The . undies can be of their own selection,” she added. “The hat is being designed and is good looking. The effect of the dress is not to make women stand out. It is just a functional uniform.”
