INDUSTRIALIST DIESATTRYON Father Of Eight Hour Day Will Be Buried Saturday DETROIT, April 17 — (TP) _ Funeral services for Andrew H. Green, Jr., 81, colorful industrialist who died Tuesday at his winter home in Tryon, N. C., will be held Saturday. Green, who was credited with introducing the eight-hour day to Detroit, startled industrial circles a- the turn of the century with hi- management of the huge Solvay Go. plant in downriver Delray. A native of Syracuse, N. Y., he started with Solvay as an office boy and on the urging of his superiors went to Cornell univer sity for study in engineering. After receiving his degree he returned to Delray and became manager of Solvay's Delray plant, then in g protracted slump. Green introduced drastic changes bi operation, engineering huge loans and put the plant back on its feet. Over the protest of his employ es who warned “if it doesn’t work, you're through,” Green in itiated the eight-hour day — and Jived to see it become the work ing unit of virtually all industry.

Special Appeal To Cut Housing Prices Planned WASHINGTON, April 17.— (U.R) — The next step in the adminis tration’s anti - inflation campaign will be a special appeal to the construction industry to cut hous ing prices, a source close to the White House revealed today. President Truman’s economic advisers were said to feel that price cuts in such a key industry would lead to lower prices in other fields. The administration’s appeal will be made to industry leaders at a series of private meetings to be gin soon, this source said. The president’s advisers will rely on “moral suasion” to convince the industry it should cut prices vol untarily. Mr. Truman already has made similar appeals to industry as a whole. The administration does not feel that the response thus far has been satisfatory although several firrrls have announced price reductions. Meanwhile Sen. Robert A. Taft. R.. O., told a reporter that he “fully endorses” Mr. Truman’s campaign for lower prices. How ever, he questioned the presi dent’s statement of last week that another round of wage increases would be justified if prices are not cut soon.

AGENCY Bill To Set-Up Bureau Passes Second Reading In Assembly COLUMBIA, S. C., April 17—<£>) — The House of Representatives whipped a bill for a State Bureau of Investigation through vital sec ond reading today while the Sen ate battled over passage of the general appropriations bill and revenue additions. It was an exceptionally busy day for both branches of the General Assembly and the Senate even found time to devote a few im portant matters other than the ap propriations-revenue measure. The proposed bureau of investi gation would supplant the gover nor’s (state) constabulary and take over the annual appropria tion for that agency. It would be, Reps. Cuttino of Sumter and Spigner of Richland said, a “small group of trained men’’ under a $6,000 a year direc tor appointed by the Governor with Senate approval. Cuttino and Spigner, co-authors of the bill and both former Fed eral Bureau o f Investigation agents, said the intent of their measure was to establish a cen tral statewide clearing for crimi nal records and fingerprint files furnished by local law officers, to whom the bureau’s services would be available. Additionally, a tech nical crime laboratory would be maintained. The bureau would “supplement” local law enforcement “not sup plant it,” Spigner said. There was no objection to the bill, which was called up out of order on the House calendar. A bill providing for local option elections on the question of con tinued legolized liquor sales was introduced in the House by Reps. Gaines of Spartanburg, Galloway of Abbeville, Hudson and Gresham of Greenville. Elections could be held one every two years on peti tion of 10 per cent of a county’s registered voters.
