TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday April 21, 195S mi Kiioulamid's Remarks on Red . China Ta!ks ilay Aid flcJmJstraiio m Three Auto Contracts To Expire Sunday; GAW Talks to Continue Detroit (U.R) The live-year wage contracts at Ford, General Motors and American Motors are due to expire at the end of May, but contract negotiations crucial to the U.S. economy may be far from settled when that date rolls around In some industries this might mean a work stoppage under the "no contract, no work" policy. But m the auto industry, the calendar probably will flip to June 1 with no plan for an in terruption of production. Make Or Break Economists view the success or failure of efforts to maintain peace in the auto industry as a make-or-break proposition for the highriding economic boom In America. A settlement of the negotia tions or a strike may not come before mid-June, mid-July or even later, as the CIO United Auto Workers have announced they won't necessarily follow the "no contract, no work" pol icy which the United Mine Workers and some other un ions have used. Contracts Continued What will happen when the UAW contracts expire? If nego tiations are making progress, the present contracts would be con tinued in effect. But on a day-to-day basis, with the union free to act whenever it wished. The companies would have. the right to terminate the con tracts at any time, too. But no one expects them to, not with the demand for cars running as high as it is. Negotiators started meeting early in April to try to work out new agreements to replace the contracts signed in 1950. The union demand for a guar anteed annual wage, higher pay, better ' pensions . and bigger health programs wasn't all. that had to be taken up.

Meanwhile, information that creeps out of the closed-door negotiations has been pleasant enough so far. Both sides have refrained from blasting each other :n public. When they get into serious disagreement, this is sure to change.

Come in to register no purchase necessary Statement First Cleared Through State Department By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent - Washington (U.R) Politics make not only strange bed fel lows hut occasionally stuffs something un der the bed, too, making it desirable t o look there as well as at what's under the sheets. This Far East dispute between the Eisenhower ad LyleC Wilson ministration and Sen. William F. Knowland (R-Calif.), the Republican leader of the Senate, is an example. Knowland used hard words in protesting any dealings with Red China from which the Chi nese Nationalists .were excluded His statement followed by a few hours President Eisenhower's ex pression of confidence that there were, areas of negotiations which the United States and Red China could enter unaccompanied by the Chinese Nationalists, but without putting the Nationalist cause to disadvantage. Now, 24 hours alter, the Knowland statement and the whole dispute are in somewhat better perspective. Perhaps it is neither as serious nor as angry as it seemed at first. Pieces of additional fact have since be come available. Advises Stale Department For instance,' Knowland, evi dently advised the State Depart ment Thursday befose he made public his sharply critical state ment. The nub of his protest was that Red China's En-lai was not on the level with last week's of fer to discuss current problems with the United States. . More specifically. Knowland said he feared the United States would be maneuvered into an appeasing position in which the offshore islands. Ouemov and the Matsus, would be lost and, ultimately, Formosa. The United Press has been in formed from a most trustworthy source that President Eisenhow er is telling 'all comers that he has no intention whatsoever of seeking to induce Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek to give up any territory. That statement of policy would' cover Quemoy and the Matsus equally with Formosa. although the United States is not committed to defend the smaller islands. It appears that the fears Know- land expressed were groundless so far as surrender of territory wa concerned. And, since he dis cussed the matter with the State Department before making a statement, it seems fair to as sume that Knowland was fully aware of Mr. Eisenhower's firm position. More Useful Than Harmful If that line of reasoning is sound, then Knowland's' state ment could be more useful than harmful to Mr. Eisenhower overall because of its imnact abroad. The Democratic opposi tion and some others are press ing the President to go far to avoid a break with U.S. allies. The allies are pressing for U.S. concessions to lessen the chance of World War III being trigger ed by events in the Formosa Strait. Knowland's statement the fact he is the Senate Republican leader could be more effective than any words of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles in per suading the British, French, Ca- Paying Off Bills Consolidate your Debts and wipe them out with en easy monthly payment! ...

And from other sources there were indications today that Knowland would not necessari ly break with the administration if talks with Red China were undertaken, provided there was an absolute taboo on territorial concessions at the expense of Chiang.

The court approved the peti tion for the divorce decree filed by the Dominican playboy-diplomat last month. Attorneys for Rubirosa based his plea for an end to his marriage on "incom patibility of character." Miss Hutton, 42, and Rubiro sa, 46, were married in the Do minican consulate in New York City on Dec. 30, 1953. Less than three months later, they an nounced they had decided on a "friendly separation." It was Miss Hutton's fifth mar riage; Rubirosa's fourth.
