Reulher Accuses GM President of Double Standard Detroit IP) United Auto Workers President Walt ter P. Reuther today accus ed General Motors President Harlow Curtice of applying a double standard in critic izing the UAW's proposed profit-sharing plan. "For many years, General Motors has had a profit-shar ing plan for executives which is the most lucrative plan in the history of free enter prise," Reuther said. "We are somewhat at a loss to understand the kind of mental and moral gymnas tics that are required to see nothing but good in a profit- sharing plan for executives and nothing but bad in the extension of this principle to workers and consumers." George Romney, president of American Motors Corp., Tuesday became the latest auto firm head to attack the UAW proposal made on Mon day. He called it a "subter fuge" and" a "bludgeon" to force a big wage gain from the entire auto industry. Said Forced on Others ' Romney, who heads one of America's "little two" car building firms, said Reuther's strategy has been to get giant GM to establish the size of wage and benefit package" and then force this "pack age" on the rest of the in dustry. Reuther sent copies of his reply to Curtice's statement to the other members of the big three automakers Ford Motor company and Chrysler Corp. The labor leader's answer was to allegations by the big three that the UAW demands are extravagant, inflationary, "foreign to the concept of free enterprise," and will weaken public confidence.
