\M*B ENDS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 (UP) The War Production Board, set up Jan. 16. 1942, to turn the stream of war m iter al into a flood, quietly folded u' toJay and went oui of business. Having wound up the job of making America tr.o Tightest arsenal in history, the WPB turned over to its f.uncessor the civilian production aJmir.istiation the job of guiding the Nn-
th< buildings damaged was the Metro-Gold vyn-Mayor movie theater, where windows were brok-
en.
The fresh violence came as police were rounding up persons suspected of instigating yesterday's anti-Jewish riots. More than 300 had been arrested by mid-morning in Cairo, and additional suspects were bring taken into custody hourly. Egyptian police quelled the last of yesterday's riots by dusk and Cairo was quiet today until noon Peace also was restored In the naval base city of Alexandria last night after a 'day of similar riots. Official estimates placed yesterday’s casualties in both Cairo and Alexandria at 10 killed and 430 injured during the few hours of violence. Ninety policemen were among the 230 injured in Cairo. Arab extremists were blamed for the outbreaks. Rioting mobs fired a synagogue, beat up Jews and sacked scores of Jewish stores in the two cities in protest against Jewish demands for unlimited immigration to Palestine. Editorials in the Arabic Press today condemned the violence. The weekly Akhbar Elyoam said the Egyptian government would compensate the victims for all | damage.
STRIKE FRONT IS UNSETTLED OVER NATION
WESTERN UNION OPERATORS BACK ON JOBS AFTER WORK STOPPAGE (By I'ulted Press) Some 2.500 Western Union telegraphers were back on the job today after a five-hour stonpage but strikes continued in the lumber, textile and transportation ftidustrie:; with no immediate signs of settlement. Western Union workers in Detroit, Philadelphia and Hartford, Conn., left their jobs ?rom 1 P. M. to 6 P M. (EST) yesterday in defiance of national officers of tile AFL Coin i .erciul Telegraphers' Union. Other operators walked out in Providence, R I., but most of the union's 43,000 Western Union workers refrained from Joining the demonstration, pending a national strike electtoa within 30 days. The walkouts was a protust against a WLB award which granted AFL teleghapher's a four-cent hourly increase whiH CIO operators received wage boosts of 10 cents an hour. In other labor disputes, AFC lumberworkers continued a 41day walkout, 20,000 New England textile workers remained idle, and federal conciliators attempted to end a strike which has tied up Greyhound bus service in 18 eastern states. The total strike figure, including both strikers and workers idled by strikes, dipped slightly to 252.000. with the i ■ -urn to work of 1,600 Massachusetts brewery workers, 3,200 Houston, Tex., dock workers and 580 maintenance employes of American Export Lines in New
York.
CHICAGO. Nov. 3. (UP) George T. Christopher, president and general manager of Paekai I Motor Cur Co., today called for “controlled*’ fnercases in price.-, and wages if markets are to be maintained beyond June of next
year.
The Packard executive said he believed “controlled increases ir. wages and prices are necessary in industry where labor represents a major portion of the sell‘ng cast.” The automotive industry, he said, belongs in that classifica-
tion.
“Increases In wages don't have to be accompanied by equal increases in prices,” Christopher told a gathering of iuo midwest dealers, here for the first showing of the new 1946 Packard
Clipper.
“With proper volume, the price increases can be less than those in wages,” he said. ••But if a policy of controlled 1 increases in both wages and prices isn’t adopted in these classified industries, the whole market is 1’kely to bog down by next June. The market can’t be built by pioducts on which the producer loses money.” BARRIER SI K.MOFNTED WASHINGTON, Nov. .1 I UT l another barrier to a Soviet-American understanding on Eastern, European governments was surie’unte l today by this country's de facto rec gnition of the Hungarian povin mal government.
