MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE
Reuther Questions Auto Makers' Statements on Unemployment
Detroit (UP) Auto manu
facturing executives Tuesday de
clared the increase in unem
ployment is at an end, but their
figures and arguments were
questioned by United Auto
Workers President Walter P.
Reuther.
The statements on the unem
ployment situation, chiefly in
the auto industry, were made at
a conference called by Gov. G.
Mennen Williams. Attending the
meeting were representatives of
four auto manufacturing firms
and civic officials of eight cities
four outside Michigan, and a
United Auto Workers delegation
headed by Reuther.
The auto firm representatives
refused to accept invitations to
serve on a UAW-proposed "task
force" committee to go to Wash
ington and seek government ac
tion to ease the unemployment
damage.
They said there was no spe
cific plan of action proposed for
the "task force" committee.
"We have an aversion to going
to Washington on a shotgun
basis," John S. Bugas, Ford vice
president of industrial relations,
said. "The government interferes
too much anyway."
One Agreement
But all the auto company
spokesmen said they would join

Twining To Leave
For Russia Visit
With High Hopes
Washington (U.R) Gen. Na
than F. Twining heads for Mos
cow this week, probably Thurs
day, on a dramatic expedition
that he believes will have profit
able results for the United States.
The blunt-spoken chief of the
U. S. Air Force expects the first
such cold war trip of its kind to
produce a "net gain for our
side," according to an official
who knows Twining's outlook.
Accompanied by a team of ex
perts in every field of air power.
Twining has high hope of re
turning to America with some
sound new appraisals of Russia's
latest air power advances.
To Aid Ike's Decision
His report to other members
of the joint chiefs of staff and
the National Security Council
will go far in determining wheth
er President Eisenhower permits
other service leaders to visit Rus
sia and the extent to which Rus
sians may be invited here.
The Twining party plans to
arrive in Moscow the afternoon
of June 23. The general was in
vited on May 29 to come to Rus
sia with several officers of his
choosing, chiefly to see the June
24 air show at which new devel
opments usually are unveiled.
: President Eisenhower author
ized acceptance of the invitation
on May 30. but on June 11 the
President said "no" for the mo
ment to a Russian informal in
quiry as to whether the other
military chiefs also would like to
come along.

tracts. Bugas said "within the last 48
hours we have found it necessary
at Ford to increase our produc
tion schedule of 1956 models"
and he said more men will be
called back when 1957 model
production starts.
Chrysler Corp's. director of
labor relations, John D. Leary,
also said 1957 model production
will mean rehiring of laid off
workers. He said Chrysler also
has encouraging signs of in
creased sales of 1956 models.
Harry W. Anderson, General
Motors vice president in charge
of personnel, said GM expects to
continue its present pace through
the 1956 model year. He said this
pace has resulted in rehiring of
"more than 7,300 employees" in
the midwest since May.
Unemployment Rises
Williams opened the confer
ence by stating Michigan unem
ployment stands at more than
200,000 and is expected to reach
280,000 in the "next three or
four months." ;
Reuther called the- employ
ment figures cited by Bugas as
"cockeyed" and said the auto 1
makers "can't argue both bogey
men." He said they argue on the one
hand that employment is on the
increase but on the other hand '
that the increased unemployment ;
compensation insurance benefits I
asked by Williams and backed !
by the UAW would bankrupt j
business.

Astoria (U.PJ T. F. Sandoz,
president of Columbia River
Packers Association, Inc., said
yesterday that for the past sev
eral weeks officials of his com
pany have been negotiating with
officials of Hawaiian Tuna Pack
