GM Workers Get Pay Bonus and Short-Term Layoffs
GM reports a four-cent-an-hour wage bonus for 330,000 hourly workers while planning a six-day temporary plant shutdown from July 28 to August 6 in Michigan plants including Chevrolet and Pontiac. The move follows government limits on critical materials, with the Wage Stabilization Board approving the raise as a non-price increase. C E Wilson says the shutdown avoids broader mass layoffs.

The California Senate cleared the way for final passage of a larger budget, approving a $1,035,000,000 spending package with $19,000,000 more than Governor Warren proposed. Only essential defense funds would be released immediately, with much of the surplus earmarked for building and deferred projects. A conference committee will reconcile differences with the Assembly before final passage expected soon.
