T. A. Johnstone, acting- director or the Culled Auto Workers' GM department, aald there Is a "very good possibility" of a walkout. The threat was Ihe latest move In an Industry-wide campaign for higher pay. Ono major automobile manufac turer, however, countered the. diivo with a proposal which would, In effect, cut wiikcs. Wage Cut The proposal, by the Ford Motor company, waa the first of Ita kind In the motor ear Industry, The CIO Culled Auto Workers an awrrs It with crisp rrpectinn and a hint that the company's 107.000 production workers might Join j hrysler'a 75,000 strikers.

Lewis, president of the United .Mine Workers. The mine negotia tions start tomorrow. Pleading a cause of "public se curity," Ford asked elimination of "differentials" of about 10 cents nn hour In wages of Ita employes and those of competing auto companies. At the same time, the company turned down union damends for a wage rnlsc of 30 cents an hour, Higher Hrale The Ford wage scale, at 11.5.1 an hour, la about 10 cents higher than thnr al Chrysler and General Motors.

The ft rat trucks of live stock In nine days were driven through the national guard lines yesterday. The order for a renewal of wage talks In Chicago was given by Ihe strike strategy committee of the Packinghouse Workers union which also announced that the strike "remains effective." The negotiations have been at a standstill for about two weeks. The 100.000 packinghouse work ers struck March 16 ngnlnst 140 plants throughout the nation In an effort' to enforce demands for a 39-ccnts hourly pay raise.

The Bureau of Sta tistics aays thr miners now aver age 575.78 weekly, highest of all Industrial W'nrkera. In other labor developments, of ficials of the U.

Stassen lock horns over the radio networks tonight in Oregon's fast and furious republican presidential primary. They will debate the question, "Shall the Communist Party in the United States Be Outlawed?" an Issue which has surprisingly enough overshadowed all others In the un predictable campaign for Oregon'! 12 republican votes. Broadcast Slated Three national networks will carry the debate, starting at 6 p. m. (9 p. m.EST). The hour-long discus sion with Stassen taking the af firmative, Dewey the negative will be carried by Mutual, NBC and ABC. It will be In the nature of a grand finale to two weeks of unprecedent ed political bush-beating which has Oregon's lectorate by the ears. The furious pace set by the two republican aspirants for the nom ination has made Oregon a sort ot political no-man's land, with state and local candidates the forgotten men. In most qualified quarters the con contest at this stage waa rated a toss-up. Sentiment appeared about equally divided with four more days to go before lection day Friday. Dewey's strenuous two weeks of political barnstorming, however, were credited with helping him ta overcome to a tremendous degree; the serious disadvantage to which Stassen had placed him at the out set of the campaign. Furious Pace But 8tasaen, too, was setting a furious pace after a belated etart. By plane and bus he waa looming over the Oregon political trails to' recover whatever ground may hart been lost. The Mlnnesotan also possessed an Intaglble but Important backlog of loyal support won In three previous visits to the state. Many Stassen ltes felt this long-time support might be the deciding factor. It appeared probable a record primary vote would be east. Pre dictions Indicated that at leaat 61 per cent of the 300.000 registered republicans would turn eut next Friday. House Okays Navy Action On Carrier WASHINGTON. May 17 W A house armed services subcommittee approved unanimously today a bill clearing tbe way for the navy to get started on a 65,000-ton giant air craft carrier. Navy authorities say the super carrier, capable of cruising in Arctic wa,ters, would be the largest ship of any type ever built. It would be about half again bigger than the navy's present biggest carriers. Up to four years would be required for Its construction. Presumably, multiple-engine bombers capable of carrying an atomle bomb thousands of miles could take of from Its flight decks. To clear the way for its construc tion, the subcommittee recommend ed to the full committee that the navy be allowed to stop work on 13 unfinished ships. This would divert approximately $229,000,000 to build the proposed carrier and vessels de signed to launch guided missiles. The action was taken after Rep. Hess (R-Ohlol read a letter from Secretary of Defense Forrestal as suring that the nation's top military leaden all approve the super car rier project Forrestal said President Truman and the budget bureau military planners also favor the project, Hess said the full committee may act on the bill tomorrow.
