Auto Workers Give Ultimatum to Men Opposing Contracts Detroit (U.R) The CIO Tint ed Auto Workers Saturday fol lowed announcement of member ship approval of the two new Chrysler Corp. contracts with an ultimatum to rebellious striking skilled workers dissat isfield with the new pacts. UAW Vice-President Norman Matthews said the 33 locals cov ered by the Chryler agreements ratified them by a margin of 97 percent. The pacts cover 110,000 production and maintenance, en gineering, office, parts and cafet eria workers and will be retro active to Sept. 1. . Unanimous Approval UAW Secreary-Treasurer Emil Mazey said 30,000 Chrysler auto body division workers approved their new contract almost un aniously. Chrysler was the last of the "Big Three" auto firms to agree to a guaranteed wage plan. The Chrysler pacts closely paralled those covering Ford and General Motors workers. Mazey also issued an ultimat um to 420 skilled workers at two Chrysler plants. He warn ed the striking workers that "failure to retrun to work on your part will result in disciplin ary action by the union." Three Suspended The 420 shut down the Ver- nor plant and Mack plant Thurs day after the union suspended a shop committeeman . and two Stewarts from union posts on grounds they had joined a rival union set up by skilled workers dissatisfied with the new con tracts. Chrysler officials said the walkouts may hamper pro duction of 1956 models. Mazey warned the workers "in the event the Chrysler Corp. takes any disciplinary action against you you will not have the benefit" or "the support" of the union. He said the walkouts were "entirely the product of anti union maneuvering by a hand ful of individuals-who seek to make personal gain at the ex pense of union members." 50 YEARS LATE Pullman, Wash.

O SMORGASBORD - $2.25 Includes Barbecued Spareribs O WONDERFUL DINNERS Special Prime Ribs of Beef v O ALA CARTE MENU MGDN EDESIR FOR RESERVATIONS VFW Gives Support To USAF Survival Training Program Washington U.R) The Vet erans of Foreign Wars Saturday expressed "100 per cent" appro val of the Air Force's controver sial "survival training" school in Nevada where airmen are taught how to deal with Com munist brainwashing techniques. Timothy J. Murphy, VFW commander in chief, wired the Air Force that "we would be better prepared in the event of another war" if similar training were given combat personnel of other branches of the military service. "It would indeed be unfortun ate if because a few people crit icize but one phase of the pro groam the Air Force is compelled to modify its splendid survival training course," Murphy said. He was obviously referring to the "interrogation" phase of the widely- publicized course at Stead Air Force base, during which instructors give volun tary students a sample of Red brainwashing. The Air Force announced Friday that it will continue the "interrogation phase" of the survival course while it is car rying out a study to learn wheth er any changes are needed as a result of President Eisenhow er's new prisoner of war code. The code calls on prisoners to resist all efforts of captors to get military information from them. Six Persons Killed In Texas When Car, Big Truck Collide Loving, Tex.

Fiery Governor of Pennsylvania Not Among Candidates Los Angeles U.R) Pennsyl vania's Democratic Gov. George M. Leader, whose fiery speeches in California opened a hornet's nest of inter-party charges and counter-charges, said Friday he bas no personal ambition for the presidency but could make "a quick" change of mind. ' Leader declined to name any choice for the Democratic nomi nation at a press conference. He said it was "too early" to en dorse any Democratic party pres idential hopefuls at this time. Might Change Mind But asked if he would accept candidacy for president or vice president if either were offered him, Leader grinned and con ceded it would be possible for hi mto change his mind. The Quaker State Governor charged Thursday night in a speech in Los Angeles that Pres ident Eisenhower is "a political freak" who has enjoyed a ten derness of approach 'that is unique in America's political history." The speech was seen as the beginning of a Democratic get-tough policy toward the Pres ident and possibly as Leaders' bid for a presidential nomina tion. f Leader spoke at the Los An geles dinner and at a San Fran cisco dinner Wednesday night in place of former President Truman who liad to cancel his scheduled appearances at the fund-raising affairs. Brought GOP Replies His San Francisco speech re ferred to "underworld" in fluences in the Republican Par ty and brought impassioned re plies from Republican leaders and from White House spokes men. Assistant White House Press Secretary Muray Snyder said that the underworld label might be more appropriate if pinned on Leader's party. Leader replied that he was not referring to criminal elements but to" "the isolationist wing and the prevent-atomicpwar now peo ple in the Republican Party." In his Los Angeles speech, Leader said "Dwight Eisenhower is no constitutional monarch, a symbol of state removed from party convention. He is a Re publican partisan president and he should be so recognized and treated." , Births JOHNSON To Mr. and Mrs. Leonard, 630 Park st., Ashland, Sept. 15, 1955, a boy, Bib pounds, at Osteopathic hospital.
