(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.

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. McCoy was serv
ing a three year term for inter
state transportation of stolen
cars, Cagle 15 months for juve
nile delinquency and parole vio
lation. Robert Carl Parker, 21, of
Washington, D.C., was given a
term of 20 years, to be added to
the three year term he was serv
ing for interstate transportation
of a stolen automobile.
