Lewis and his committee for indus trial organization chiefs moved swiftly today toward decisive tests of union strength in the nation's key steer and automobile industries. Developments pointed strongly to ward a mid-winter crisis In the far reaching campaign, probably ac companied by widespread and crip pling strikes. A high CIO official said today that steel organizing tactics called for a minimum of minor walkouts. When steel union strength reaches a desired peak, however, a large scale strike probably preceded by a general steel-workers convention is likely, the official said. On the automobile front develop ments came swiftly. The Lewis United Automobile workers union moved toward a showdown with the huge General Motors corporation as strikes In feeder industries clamped down on major plant assembly lines. Dramatic impetus may be given the steel drive by a personal ap pearance of Lewis before the senate civil liberties committee which opens hearings January 11 on violation of workers rights in the steel Industry. The committee is considering ask ing Lewis to testify and he signified his willingness to appear if Invited.
