Labor Bill
Protection
Waiver Eyed
DETROIT. Aug. 1 JP The Ford
Motor company, threatened by a
strike of IU 107,000 CIO produc
tion workers, offered conditionally
today to waive the Taft-Hartley
labor law's court protecUon against
union contract violations.
Ford's proposal, delivered per
sonally by Henry Ford II, company
president, to CIO Chief Philip
Murray, was being weighed on the
eve of a strike verdict by the CIO's
United Auto Worker.
The UAW-CIO International ex
ecutive board goes into session to
morrow to consider It Ford de
partment's resolution to call a
strike In the vast Ford automotive
factory system.
' Surprise Meet
Word of Ford's offer, which was
based on a series of company-described,
"good faith conditions."
came from a surprise meeting
which Uie young Industrial execu
tive had with Murray In New York
City yesterday, arranged at Ford'
own request.
There was no immediate com
ment from Murray or the UAW.
Ford made Uie offer at a time
when Uie auto Industry already
was beset with strikes and layoffs
Idling approximately 40,000 Michi
gan workers.
Largely, this Idleness was attri
buted to a week-long walkout of
7000 Murray Corp. of America
workers in a demand for contract
protection against the "union lia
bility" provision of the Taft-Hartley
law. Murray Corp. supplies
parts lo Uie Industry.
The same UAW-CIO demand on
Pord was refused bluntly, but Ford,
acknowledging "crlUcal situa
tion." offered a compromise.
This was in Uie form of a com
pany pledge not to bring suit
against the union for damages
arising out of "illegal strikes" pro.
vlded Uiat:
1. The union has not "inspired
or authorised" such a strike.
2. The union agrees "prompUy to
denounce publicly" an illegal strike.
3. The union and Its "officers or
agents" agree to use "prompt and
honest effort" to prevent or end
such a strike.
4. The impartial umpire (as
alitned by contract) shall be "final
Judge" p'hether the union ha tak
en "mese reasonable steps ' rel.
Uve to such strikes.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1 (AP) Howard Hughes, cntraf
figure in a senate war investigating committee probe, turned
accuser today and announced he would demand a department
of justice inquiry into the "relationship of Senator Owen

Other developments in the matter:
Hughes announced he would not "jump through a rioop
like a trained seal" to answer demands that he appear In
Washington immediately, but that he had promised to appear
before Senator Brewster's committee next Wednesday,
The multimillionaire plane builder, movie magnate ond
oil well tool manufacturer released signed statements from an
airline hostess and a flight captain designed to refute Senator
Brewster's allegation that the hostess "didn't dare" fly olone
with Hughes in his plane last February.

"The basis of my demand," he
said, "will be substantially on
charges I have already made." Last
Wednesday. In a statement, he
publicly asked Senator Brewster if
it were not true that the senator

LAKE, SUCCESS. Aug. 1 W)
Russia charged today that a Unit

declared war in Indonesia waa a
"means of circumventing" the
United Nations and demanded that
the security council Itself take
"binding acUon."
The surprise Soviet move ser
iously complicated the mediation
plan which already had been ac
cepted by The Netherlands gov
ernment Soviet Delegate Andrei A. Gro
myko agreed with the United
States Uiat the council should act
immediately to order a cessation
of hostilities, but he urged the
council to go slow- on the question
of mediation.
Although not stating definitely
that he would oppose mediation,
Gromyko raised strong objections,
including his charge that the move
would by-pass the UN. He said it
also would give the Dutch an ad

Translation
To start the session off, Seldon
