GENERAL MOTORS FARLEY in
STRIKEFAILSTO OPEN TODAY
Both Sides Claim That
Terms of Truce Are
Violated

DETROIT, Jan. 1S.-(UP).-
Attempts of General Motors and
the United Automobile Workers
to open negotiations on wages,
hours and working conditions,
failed today when Homer Martin,
strike leader, announced that con-
ferences are off.
Martin and his companions were
in conference with General Mo-
tors officials about five minutes.
Both parties claimed the other
had violated the truce reached un-
der mediation Of Gov. Murphy.
FLINT, Mich, Jan. IS. (UP)-
General Motors and the United
Automobile Workers came to a
deadlock last night in their peace
negotiations after the corporation
agreed to discuss wages, hours and
working conditions with non-union
as well as union workers.
With conversations scheduled to
start between the union and Gen.
eral Motors at IL a. M. today,
strike leaders refused to move sit
down strikers out Of two G.M.C.
plants here. =,
General Motors has insisted
throughout the strike that it will
not negotiate with the union so
long as sit-down strikers were in
its plants. Under terms of truce
reached in Gov. Frank Murphys
office last week, all sit-down strik-
ers were to be sent home by IL
a. m. today.
The union was equally insistent
that it would not move the sit
down strikers if the corporation
agreed to discuss wages and hours
with non-union employees.
The deadlock became apparent
last night when an exchange OF
kilograms between VIM. s. Knud-
sen, executive vice president Of
General Motors, and Geo. f. Boy
sen, head of the Flint Alliance
was made public. The Flint ALI
ance is an organization that in
cludes non-union employees of
General Motors. -,
The union objects to General
Motors comforting with non-union
employees because it wants to be
the sole bargaining agency for all
of General Motors $4,000 work
ers. 1t also objects to the Flint
Alliance moving into the picture
because that organization was not
a party to the truce made in Lans-
ing.

iva CHAIRMAN
May RESIGN TO
FEUD
Say Morgan Appeal Shows
He Doubts Full Wisdom
of IVA Act
If so, OFFICE HELD
In VIOLATION OF LAW

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. (UP)
Resignation of DR.. Arthur A. Nor
gan as chairman of the Tennessee
Valley Authority was reported inn
minent last night as the result of
a long and bitter feud within the
TVA over the New Deals yard
stick" power policies.
Morgan's first public appeal
published Sunday-for a compro-
mise rather than a flight to the
finish" with private utilities in the
governments program for cheap
Ell electricity, was described as his
"Swan song" by an official close
to the White House.
The IVA chairman stood vir-
tually alone among those respon-
sible for shaping the administra-
tons power policy after issuing a
statement to the press urging CO.
operative effort to pool public and
private electricity in the southeast
i'm order to end the Twas legal
war with private utilities.
The statement brought into the
open sharp conflict between Nor
gan and David Lilienthal, iva di-
rector in charge of the federal
power program. They have dis
agreed on policy since the IVA
was launched nearly four years
ago. -.
Lilienthal has taken the position
that there should be no comromise
with IVA detectives; that unless
the utilities meet the government
half way in its program for cheap
power, the utilities should be driv-
en- out of business or forced to
government rates. Lilienthal, who
insists sweetness and light won't
get us anywhere" found Morgan
opposed to this policy.
Sen. George w. Norris. Ind,
Nebr., and Rep. John +. Rankin,
D.. Miss. co-authors of the act
creating IVA, sharply denounced
Morgan's proposal. Rankin said
the government should insist that
private utilities come with "clean
hands" before discussing coop
Grafton.
Lilienthal was said to have the
presidents full support in the con-
troversy now approaching a Gil
max. This was demonstrated last
summer when he reappointed Lii
ienthal to a nine-year term over
Morgan's opposition. Morgan was
determined to resign then, but was
dissuaded by friends of the admin
istration because of possible effect
in the Nov. 8 election.
Lilienthal advocates a vigor-
Gus fight by the IVA to lower
electricrates through public own
ership of utilities, without COM
promise with private companies
except on terms that will insure
full benefits to the public from
government power developments.
Morgan hit at Lilienthal by as
sorting that "public officials should
cease coercion by threats OF
constructing duplicating and COM
peting systems if arbitrarily fixed
prices are not accepted"
The IVA chairman's statement
was described by one official who
declined use of his name, as lndi-
eating that Morgan did not fully
believe in the "wisdom and feast
bility" of the iva act. II this
were true, it would be a violation
of the oath taken by IVA direc-

C. |. FINCH WON'T
SEEK MAYORSH|P
Prospective Candidate Eli
inmates Himself; Powell
Opposes Mayor

Hendersons biennial mayoralty race
was narrowed considerably with the
announcement by Clyde L. Finch to-
day that he would not be candidate
1t had been rumored about that he
would likely enter the race this year,
but his statement clarified the situa-
ton to the extent it appeared the con-
test this spring, as it was two years
ago. would be fought out by Mayor
Irvine Is. Watkins and Henry T.
Powell.
Both the mayor and Mr.. Powell are
expected to make formal announce
ments Tuesday, following the meeting
of the City Council Monday night to
set up the customary election ma
chinery for registrations, polling Of
ficials and places and hours for vot-
ing. Both, however are already avow-
ed candidates. and both are already
actively campaigning. The mayor has
pu,s lished a pamphlet reviewing the
conduct of city affairs during the ten
wears in which he has already been
MAJOR of Henderson.
AT one time there was rumor that
Sam Afford would be a candidate, but
that talk never got beyond the rumor
stage, and Mr. Afford did not en-
courage the talk.
The municipal election will be held
on Tuesday, May 4, as provided by
the city charter, and in addition to
selecting their mayor for the next two
years. voters will ballot on one alder
man from each of the citys four
wards. Four aldermen elected last
year will hold over. All officials
chosen on May 4 will assume their
duties as of the first Monday in June,
as is also provided by the city charter.
Following is the letter of Mr.. Finch,
written to the editor of the Daily Dis
patch today. outlining his position:
Il understand that on the twenty
third of this month all candidates of
this city running for office or re-elec-
ton should make their announcement
on this date. Although | have serious
ly considered the possibility of an
noun cirg my candidacy for the office
of Mayor of Henderson; I find that
the pressure of my business affairs
would not allow me to devote the pro-
per amount of time to the duties of
the office, and for this reason l find
it impossible to enter the race this
term.
will you kindly publish this letter
in the column of your paper in order
that my friends may know my de-
cision.
Il wish to take this means of ex-
pressing my deep appreciation to each
of my friends; who have personally
expressed their desire to see me enter
the race for the office of Mayor.
MY sincere wishes for those who
would have been my opponents dur
ing this campaign, may have a clean
fight and the golden rule applied, in
stead of the lash of the tongue
