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

Portland Firm
Gets Contract
SALEM UV-Willamette Iron 4
Steel Co., Portland, made the low
bid of 26 million dollars to con-
kjert two Mariner type ships, Gov.
"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.

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

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

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.
