April 13.—(U.R)—The Foremen’s Association of America tonight approved a request from its Ford chapter for permission to file a 30-day strike notice against the Ford Motor company. The Ford chapter of the inde pendent union represents 3,700 foremen at Ford plants in the De troit area and a strike would idle some 90,000 Ford workers. The chapter voted last week to seek approval of the strike notice and also termination of its con tract with the giant auto firm, a move promptly matched by the company, which announced it also wanted termination. Ford was one of tne nr*t auto makers to recognize the foremen’s union and the contract was origi nally scheduled to expire May 9. Robert Keyes, presideht of the FAA, said the strike notice would be field tomorrow. In answer to a company statement that it sought cancellation of the contract because “It has not worked,’’ Keyes said the union disagreed “The contract has worked and it has worked to the advantage of the company,” he said. “We are filing the strike notice because the company has failed to bargain collectively under term* of that contract.” Pat Mull in, Ford chapter presi dent, said union and company negotiations had been deadlocked for seve months over wages, recognition and other issues. John Bugas, Ford industrial re lation* director, said, in announc ing the company desire to end the agreement, that when Ford signed in 1944, the company did so because it wanted a “practical test” of whether such unions were sound. He said the test had failed. PLW (Continued from Page One) York by now,” Reynolds said when he landed here. * Because he had been denied permission to fly over Russian territory, Reynolds was flying 6,000 miles further than Hughes, who used the top-of-the-world route across Siberia. The Bombshell set down at Fa rouk airport here at 7:52 p.m. local time, (12:52 p.m. EST). A fueling truck raced onto the field and an American crew pumped gas into the plane. Reynolds, Odom and Sallee head ed for the dining room where they gulped food between signing auto graphs and answering questions. They had had only chocolate bars during the 6 hours and 38 minute* it took them from Paris to Cairo. High Speeds Odom said that the (plane had averaged 360 miles an hour on the Paris-Cairo leg. On the first hop, from New York to Newfoundland, the light twin-engined plane had hit speeds as high as 475 miles per hour with the help of *trong tail winds. Twice the radio transmitter failed, across the Atlantic and on the way here from Paris. The radio was changed completely at Paris and the new one had to be repaired here. Odom said it had been impossible to contact any land points all the way across the Alp* and the Mediterranean. With the crew fed and the plant fueled, the Bombshell taxied onto the runway here for the takeoff after little more than an hour here. Then the bad break came. The Bombshell taxied back in front of the repair shops, her nose wheel wobbling on a flat tire. It was nearly another precious 40 minutes before the plane made a test run across the field and then took off.

ARMY AIR FORCE JUNKS EQUIPMENT Disposal 01 $44,000,000 Facilities To Make Bombers Told WASHINGTON, April 13—(U.R)— The Army Air Force ordered about $44,000,000 worth of materials in a Kansas B-29 bomber plant dis posed of because wartime quan tity .production wss no longer need* ed and a new design of the bomb er was planned, AAF officials said today. Questioned about a recent state ment by J. Earl Schaefer, Boeing Airplane company vice president, that tools for producing B-29’s cost; ing £48,000,000 to design and build were destroyed at a company’s Wichita, Kas., plant soon after V-J Day, AAF officials said: The total value of all material disposed of was approximately $44,000,000, of which tooling amounted to about $24,000,000. The tooling represented surplus “over and aboue that, needed for the drastically curtailed production of B-29’s and for production of spare parts.” (Manufacturer of B-29’* was topped entirely a few months later.) Before Jigs, dies and other tools used in B-29 construction were disposed of, the AAF officials add ed, a panel of War Assets Ad ministration in^ectators inspected the material for resale equipment. Out of the B-29 material was picked all equipment useful in the manufacture of the B-50, a dras tically revised model of the B-29 now in production. AAF Answer Schaefer also said that 16 B-29’» "in final asembly, within four days of completion” were destroyed, together with 30 days’ production of other B-29’s in varying stage* of completion. Of this, AAF material com mand officials said: Immediately after V-J Day, as part of the drastic cutback order, AAF instructions went out to end construction on all B-29 production except for completion of aircraft in final stages of assembly and which would require less than 1.000 man-hours of work to com plete. It was found that the cost of completing pianes which were farther than this from the com pletion stage exceeded the cost of salvaging at the plant. An exception was made at the Seattle plant of the company which was allowed to complete 69 B-29’s during the period from October, 1945 through Januray. 1946. Parts i and assemblies of these planes were on hand at the Seattle plant which also "is geared to the new est production improvements and where all AAF postwar needs for this plane can be handled most economically,” the AAF said.

Matthews said tonight that prisoners at prison Camp 910 near Spindale were hold ing a guard on the mess hall and refusing to come out until they talked to “somebody from Ra leigh.” At the camp, Fred Lee Alley of Shelby, prison superintendent for Ninth highway district, told the Associated Press by phone that “everything is perfectly quiet here in every respect.” Alley said that he had called State Prison Director Clyde O. Robinson and asked that he come talk to the men, because there was a “little dissatisfaction among,the prisoners.” Robinson was expected at Spin dale shortly after midnight. Alley said that the prisoners had requested to see Robinson. He em phasized that everything “is quiet.” Matthews said he understood prisoners had held religious ser vices in their mess hall this af ternoon and that after the ser vices they would not let the guard leave and refused to come out themselves “until somebody from Raleigh comes up here.” Alley said he was unable to elaborate on the “dissatisfaction” at this time, adding only that there were “a couple of fellows here who would like to be some where else.” The camp holds about 95 pri soners including both short and long termers.
