Henry Ford Favors industrywide -Talks DETROIT Wi Henry.Ford II says it would be a good idea for the auto makers to get together in thf future and seek an industry wide contract with the CIC United Auto Workers. The 37-year-old president of Ford Motor Co. said in an inter view Monday thai he had had "informal talks" with other indus try executives on the idea. He said.indications were General Motors Corp. would be against it, while Chrysler Corp. "might" be for it Neither the union nor the other companies would comment. The Betroit News said, however, it had learned from reliable .

"Patterson's office announced Mon day. The word came from Clarence Morse, chairman of the U.S. Mari time Commission. The governor, said the work will employ more than 1.000 men for 18 months. There was a spir ited contest for the job between the company and a Maryland shipyard. The governor said: "It is tremendously gratifying that the merits of the Willamette bid were recognized despite tre mendous pressure from Eastern seaboard interests. Recognition of the key position of West Coast shipyards in national defense both proper and a promise for the future. "This favorable action demon strates the effects of united ef fort by West Coast interests. The position of the Willamette Iron and Steel Co. was vigorously sup- ported by Gov. Langlie of Wash ington and Gov. Knight of Call Jornia, and by coast industry and civic leaders as well as myself." Patterson went to Washington several days ago to plead the company's case. Taylor in Lisbon LISBON D Gen. Maxwell D Taylor arrived by plane from Madrid Tuesday, en route to Washington to take over his new post as chief of the U. S. Army general staff. He was accom panied by his wife and members of his staff. posed.' Asked what effect he thought. industrywide bargaining might have on smaller auto producers, Ford said he thought that prob lem "could be worked out. American Motors Corp., which resumed contract negotiations with the UAW Tuesday, has said it is against "pattern settle ments" in- the industry and that each should be tailored to the firm it covers. CITES OTHER INDUSTRIES Ford said industrywide bar gaining had been pretty well established in the steel and glass and some other industries, and added: After all, industries like steel and glass have a lot of plants, with special problems, and there are big producers and small pro ducers. I think it would work out in the auto industry.' While he has discussed indus trywide bargaining informally with other industry executives, Ford said: "We never have sat down for a formal session on the matter ... I know some say it won't work in the auto industry. But how can they say that when it's never been tried. I think everything should be tried before we say that it can t work." RECENT AGREEMENT Ford and the UAW recently reached agreement on a guaran teed wage plan providing bene fits for laid-off workers to sup plement unemployment compen sation. GM and the union agreed on a similar one a week later. Some critics have labeled the new three-year contracts creep ing socialism, which brought this comcnt from Ford: "A lot of people call every thing we do creeping socialism. They called social security that and they called pensions that Every time we do something new, people cry that its either com munism or socialism. We have to keep up with the times a I!V DRIVER'S SEAT Diplomatic sources in Montevideo, Uruguay re vealed that General Frank lin Lucero (above), staunch Catholic war minister who now heads all Argentine armed and security forces as "chief of forces of re pression," has shoved President Juan Peron into the background following last week's attempted re volt. (NEA) 2 North Korean Pilots Land Fighter at Seoul SEOUL WU-Two young North Korean fliers buzzed the Seoul Airport Tuesday in an old, Riis-sian-bifilt Yak fighter, then land ed and gae themselves up to cheering South Korean airmen. The Jtwo were taken to ROK air force headquarters for ques tioning. It was presumed they sought political asylum. They were Identified as Capt. Lee Un Yong and Lt. Lee Eun Song, each 21. South Korean of ficers said one was trained in Russia and the other in Red China. They were the first Korean Communist fliers to flee from the Reds since Lt. Noh Kum Suk landed a MIG jet fighter at near by Kimpo Airfield Sept. 21, 1953. He received a $100,000 reward for delivering the MIG and asy lum in the United States. ROK air force officers said the two North Koreans left at 11 a.m. from Munsunri Airfield near Pyongyang, North Korean capi tal, in their Yak 18. The Yak is a single-engine propeller driven fighter-bomber. The Communists used the Yak in earlv stages of the Korean War. Now it is used as advanced trainer. ROK officers said the two North Koreans crossed the truce zone at a hedge-hopping 50 feet Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore. Tues., June 21, 1955 3A to escape radar detection. Their YAK started buzzing the Seoul Awport about 1 p.m. They said the control. tower, I manned by Americans and Ko-! reans, at first thought the YAKj was a British plane. When the plane failed to answer 'a radio call, a Korean noticed the Com munist insignia. It was given an immediate come in" signal. Brig. Gen. Kim Shin and other ROK air officers met the YAK at the end of the runway. The North Koreans told General Shin, "we want to surrender." Shin took the controls and taxied the YAK to the apron where a big crowd of Koreans and Americans had gathered. The North Korean pilots step ped from the Yak, bowed several times and raised their hands. The South Koreans applauded and cheered. The dark green plane was impounded. Convicted Communists Get Prison Terms in Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA W U. S. Dis trict Judge J. Cullcn Ganey Mon day sentenced nine Philadelphia area Communists to two to three years in jail for violation of the Smith Act. This law makes it a crime to teach or advocate the overthrow of the government. Judge Ganey, after listening to impassioned please by three of the defendants, ordered them jailed immediately, rejecting de fense attorneys' pleas that they be freed in bail pending an ap peal to a higher court. Sentenced to three years were Joseph Kuzma, 31; David Duben sky, 46, also known as Dave Davis: Thomas Nabried, 51, all of Philadelphia, and Sam Gobeloff, 44, also known as Joseph Roberts, Camden, N. J. Sherman H. Labovitz, 29; Wal ter Lowenfels, 56; Irving Katz, 35; Robert Klonsky. 35, and Benja min Weiss, 39, all of Philadelphia were given two-year sentences. Davis, Nabried and Lowenfels made separate statements to the court before sentencing. But Judge Ganey, who had refused the defendants a new trial last week, dismissed the pleas as a "tor rent of words," adding: "That these defendants, being convicted of an extremely serious offense such as this, have the op portunity to be heard as they are here, to deny it forthrightly and earnestly and enthusiastically as they do, is a tribute to the demo cratic system and the concept of liberty which emerged from it.
