(UnDom Rejects Offer By Ford; LocaOs Alerted for Walk-Out Detroit (U.R) The CIO United Auto Workers, flately re jecting Ford's half-million dollar contract offer, early today order ed 135,000 Ford workers to be ready for the key auto industry's first serious strike since 1950 next Tuesday night. Negotiations appeared in danger of collapse that could trigger a nationwide walkout at Ford that might seriously dent the booming national economy and present the Eisenhower ad ministration with its most serious labor crisis yet. Union leaders, after pouring over the Ford offer until the early morning hours, flashed or ders to the 51 Ford local unions to "begin immediately to prepare for possible strike action" next 13 Bodies Found In Debris of 836 Crash in Texas Sterling City, Tex. (U.R) A crash crew dug into the wreck age of a 10-engine B36 Super bomber for the bodies of two of the 15 airmen aboard when the big plane tangled with a tornado and crashed. , The plane fell in flames during "atmospheric turbulence" short ly after midnight Thursday. Thirteen bodies already have been recovered. Seven were identified. May Have Bailed Out There was slight hope that some of the men might have bailed out safely. But one crash crew searched the sparsely-settled surrounding area. Identification of the dead was withheld pending notification of the next of kin. The bodies were so badly mangled, they were dif ficult to identify. "There weren't any survivors," rancher Collin Brennan, near whose house the $3,500,000 plane crashed, said. "The left wing was on fire when it fell." From New Mexico The plane, which was built to pack the atom bomb, went down a mile from Brennan's home. It was from Walker Air Force Base at Roswell, N.M. Searchers found a piece of the plane 40 miles from the point where they discovered the first bit of wreckage. None could say if it was taken there by. the tor nado, or if the plane came apart in flight. The plane took off from Walker Wednesday afternoon on a routine training flight. A tor nado was reported in the area about the time of the crash. Capt. L. C. Basinger, of China Grove, N.C., was the .aircraft commander. Mrs. FDR, Warren, Salk Get Honorary Degrees Chicago (U.R) Roosevelt university has awarded its first honorary degrees to Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, Chief Jus tice of the United States Earl Warren and Dr. Jonas E. Salk. Dead line Sunday Classified is at noon Saturday; 1 a. m. Monday for Monday: other days 5:30 previous day tart1 st Tuesday night. They also called the Ford national committee to an emergency meeting in De troit Saturday afternoon. Plan Rejected The negotiators, stalking from the negotiating room in a down town hotel, had earlier rejected a Ford plan for. a 37-cent hourly pay package that could scale into more than a 75-cent pack age increase for some workers by 1960. But the offer ignored the un ion demand for a guaranteed an nual wage, and union leaders said Ford "has refused even to discuss any of the major econom ic demands of the union." The key feature of the Ford offer, which would have given workers less than half of the di rect pay boost it wants in addi tion to the annual wage, was a stock-sharing plan. Under the plan Ford workers would have a chance to buy Fdrd stock at half the market price when Ford stock goes on public sale for the first time late this year. Workers would be eligible for an amount of stock each year equal to a tenth of their yearly earnings. Ford would pay half the cost and the workers the other half, Ford would guaran tee that the worker wouldn't lose any of the half he contri buted should the stock value de cline. Picked Target The union action appeared to confirm that Ford had been singled out as the target for a strike, if the union decides to walk out to win the annual wage. The Ford contract runs out at 12:01 a.m. June 1 and the Gene ral Motors contract expires June 7. . The union so far has resisted all Ford efforts to extend the contract past next week's dead line. Ford Vice President-John Bugas said the Ford offer was "closely parallel" to the offer made to the union by General Motors. General r Motors didn't comment on the report. But the union, in rejecting the Ford proposal, indicated the of fer from General Motors had been better than the Ford offer, although unacceptable to the union. The union statement call ed the Ford plan a "watered down version of an inadequate proposal by General Motors." NEW YORK (U.R) Davy Crockett who kilt the b'ars has raised up a crop .of hornets to day. The multi-million dollar horn ets' nest relates to the tag on the buckskins, coonskins and T shirts in nearly every backyard Alamo n the land. The flint locks and powder horns are not involved. Department stores report that nothing just nothing in memory has hit their children's clothing and toy departments with such a fat wallop as Walt Disney's resurrection of "the kind of the wild frontier." In just two months, retail sales of Davy Crockett-connected items are estimated and it's a wild guess from harried merchandisers--at about $100, 000,000. Items on sale range from sox depicting b'ar killings to bi cycles with fringed saddle bags. Many Lawsuits Labeling of the clothing items is presently under question in half a dozen lawsuits and counter-suits involving Disney, sev eral manufacturers and two large chain stores. Crux of the suits is the claim of a Baltimore firm that its 1946 registered trademark, "Davy Crockett, frontiersman," gives it exclusive rights to the label in the clothing field. They have licensed 13 other manufacturers, have oral agreements with three and are in negotiation with others. The Disney organization mean while has licensed some 100 manufacturers to use the copy righted "Walt Disney's Davy Crockett" label on items repro ducing characters drawn direct ly from the Disney films. Disney has brought suit to stop the Baltimore firm, Morey and Hannah Schwartz and Davy Crockett Enterprises, Inc., frbm claiming exclusive title to Davy's name. A New York sock manufacturer, Rudin & Roth, li censed by neither Disney nor the Baltimore firm, filed a similar suit the same day claiming, among other things that the Schwartz trademark is valid only with "frontiersman" tacked on, that the trademark had been abandoned prior to Davy's new popularity, and that the name of an historical character cannot in itself be trademarked. The Schwartz firm has an nounced its intention to file counter-suits against both. It has also brought suit against Sears, Roebuck & Co. and W. T. Grant Co., charging infringement of trademark in the sale of articles made by unlicensed manufactur ers. Retailers concerned at their possible liability in t he event the Schwartzes win have been advised by counsel to the Na tional Retail Drygoods associa tion to secure from manufact urers a guarantee to assume any damages. Most manufacturers have compiled, and the boom goes on. MUNICIPAL COURT FINES Eagle Point Bob Sherman Kimmel, box 716, Eagle Point, were fined $15 in municipal court here for violation of rule. Gene Sawyer, ,box 206, Trail, was fined $5 for failure to stop at a stop sign. Remington Killers Given Sentences Lewisburg, Pa. U.R) The government today marked "closed" the prison-cell slaying of William Remington, former federal economist convicted of perjury in connection with Communist activities. Justice for the brick-in-a-sock murder of the 37-year-old Rem ington in the federal peniten tiary here last Nov. 22 was met ed out in the U.S. Middle Dis trict court by Judge Frederick V. Follmer Thursday. Follmer raised to life impris onment the brief terms of two of the three convicts who plead ed guilty to slugging Remington to death when he surprised them ransacking his cell. He sentenced the third man, who did not actually strike Reming ton, to ' an additional 20-year term. George Junior McCoy, 34, of Grundy, Va., and Lewis Cagle, 17, of Chattanooga, Tenn., charged with striking the fatal blows, were sentenced to life imprisonment.
