agreeable to the Monday meeting.
The union broke off negotiations
with Chrysler Thursday, asserting
the two sides were "hopelessly
deadlocked."
Today they traded statements In
effort to support their positions.
The union demanded a 30 cent
an hour wage boost atop the cur
rent average of fl.50 an hour for
production workers. They scaled
this down to 18'. cents at one
point but later boosted it back to
30 rents.
The company once made an of
fer of a six cent wage boost. When
the union turned it down, it was
withdrawn.
In a letter to all employes, Her
man L. Weckler. vice president
and general manager of Chrysler,
said in part:
"We are ready and willing to
continue our discussions with the
union . . . The company has tried
to make clear to our employes
through our conferences with the
union that wage increases will in
evitably mean another rise in
prices and consequently a rise in
the cost of living."

Condon Asks
Truman to
Release Letter
WASHINGTON. May t-UP)-
ur. Edward u. Condon, atomic
scientist who beads the bureau of
standards, has asked President
Truman to make public an FBI
letter on bis loyalty.
The request went up to the
White House through Condon's
superior officer. Secretary of
Commerce Sawyer. There was no
immediate comment from the
president's office.
A house unAmerican activities
subcommittee charged in a report
last March that Condon has asso
ciated with an alleged Russian
spy and was "one of the weakest
links" In this nation's atomic se
curlty.
Condon denied the charge vigor
ously and has been seeking to
clear his name.
In a letter to Sawyer, dated May
5 and released today by the com
merce department, Condon said
that while he had never seen the
FBI letter, "I cannot believe that
it contains anything of a factual
nature which challenges either my
loyalty or discretion, because noth
ink of the sort exists."
"The baseless rumors or cossiD
that such a letter might contain
cannot possibly be as defamatory
as the attacks by Congressman
Thomas' subcommittee," he added.
Rep. J. Parnell Thomas (R-NJ.)
is chairman of the bouse commit
tee on unAmerican activities.

Terms Move
'Act of Panic'
BEND, Ore., May 8-0P)-Gov,
Thomas E. Dewey of New York
wound up a week of campaigning
in Oregon today and his efforts
brought Harold E. Stassen on the
run for a head-on clash for the
state's republican votes.
Stassen announced he would
hurry back to Oregon next Friday
three days ahead of schedul
to compete directly with the New
York governor right down to the
time the state's primary polls open
May 21.
It will be Stassen's fourth visit
since last October. On Friday, May
14, he will speak in Portland. On
the same day Dewey will be in
Portland for a luncheon speech
and a radio (Mutual's "Meet the
Press") broadcast.
Ne Meeting Planned
Although both will be in the
same city, there was no hint they
would be closer than a chance
nod while passing.
Meanwhile Stassen reinforce
ments arrived, among them Gov.
Luther Youngdahl of Minnesota.
A Stassen prediction of victory
in Oregon made in Washington
yesterday was quickly challenged
by the Dewey campaign forces.
Dewey Weald Win'
"Right today Dewey would win
in Oregon," asserted Ralph D.
Moores, the New Yorker's Ore
gon manager.
The governor's reception in
Willamette valley towns was "40
per cent better than I expected,"
he said.
Moores described Stassen's de
cision to return ahead of schedule
as "an act of panic and despera
tion." During the past five days, since
leaving Portland Tuesday, Dewey
has spoken before crowds esti
mated in excess of 33,000.
Today the Dewey caravan
wound through the snow-capped
Siskiyou mountains of southern
Oregon, stopping at Ashland and
Klamath Falls.

Stranglehold Starts
WASHINGTON, Iay 8 -P- The nationwide wilroad
strike "will go on" as scheduled Tuesday, onion leaders said
tonight after a fruitless three-hour conference with manage
ment at the White House. f f
The three key unions which voted the strike turned down
the railroads' renewed offer of a 15'j cent an hour wage in
crease and various changes in operating rales. I I
W. T. Farley, president of the Association of lAmerican
Railroads and a spokesman for the carriers, declared : That4
our final offer. i t
The situation was tightly dead
locked tonight and John R. Steel
man. President Truman's labor
trouble shooter, admitted it. He
said:
"So far it has been impossible
to bring the parties to an agree
ment. We are going to try again
tomorrow. I have asked both sides
to think over the matter tonight
and discuss it with their people.1
Seizure Net Indicated
The possibility that the govern
ment might seize and operate the
roads remained. But there was no
apparent move tonight in this di
rection.
CHICAGO, May B-tffV-The rail
embargo fixed a slowly strangling
grip on the California-Florida fruit
and vegetable industries -today. It
was the first big pinch of the
threatened rail strike paralysis.
As the White House pressed
last ditch efforts to avert the rail
road strike set for early Tuesday,
America's farming and! industry
leaders girded for effects of a
general transportation tieup that
would be felt almost at once.
