Richard Frankensteen, United Automobile Workefs', vice president, insists they 'are isolated— that -they do injustice to the great war job Detroit has done. But the senators say they have reports and complaints showing a good deal of it, * Most of the furor -is centered around loafing at the Packard plant, where 31,000 workers are making Rolls Royce aircraft and marine engines. agement, unions and the goverment's representatives — concede here has been loafing. Management representatives estimate that production in 1944 was about 76 per cent efficient. U.
