United Auto Workers Union Calls Strike on
 Briggs Company
I3,OOO WORKERS ARE
 QUITTING PLANTS
Other Auto Concerns Will Be Forced to Close Their
 Plants Also

Detroit, May 22-UP)- A United Automobile Work ers' union strike call today forced the shutdown of all seven body plants of the Briggs Manufacturing com pany and made an estimated 5000 workers idle.
 Half an hour after Emil Mazey, head of the JAW Briggs local had issued a strike call in connection with the current contract dispute, union members began the march out of the plants.
 Mazey issued the strike order after communicating with company officials. The contract dispute has been unnecessarily deliberated since expiration of the union contract May 16. Negotiations had begged down last Friday and the strike was voted at union meeting Sunday.
 Plymouth Is Hit
 The Plymouth division of Chrysler Corporation, dependent upon Briggs for supplies, said it also would shut down, making 5000 men on the day shift idle. If the strike is not set tied by this afternoon, officials said, the night shift of approximately 5000 men will be sent home after working one or two hours.
 Mazey~saidsnegotiations broke over 30 grievances filed by the union. Fourteen of them, he said, dealt with what the union regarded as unfair discarge of employees. Ten con- cerned docking of workers.
 'The management has not seen fit to discuss the issues on their mer- its and has resorted to horse-trad- ing" Mazey said. "The management is not sincerely bargaining, leaving no alternative but more drastic &C., tion."
 Briggs officials said Mazey was seeking strife" and had failed to offer single concession. They said offers to submit the grievances to arbitration were refused.

 Washington, May 22-(UP)-Dud- ley Pierrepont Gilbert, New York socialite, said today the dies com- mittee on unAmerican activities had summoned him to try to identify a supposed employe of the Harmonic Club, New York, who he said had given him information about a Left ist plot to seize the government.
 Gilbert said he would be asked to identify the man from among 30 employees. He was not clear just how he would be asked to make the iden- tification, whether by pictures or otherwise.
 He volunteered the information shortly before the dies committee which had subpenaed four other persons--called an open session at 10:30 a. m., three hours earlier than previously scheduled.
 In testimony before the committee last week Gilbert said he obtained information of an alleged plot from a man who is believed was waiter in the club. He transmitted the in- formation to James Erwin Campbell, a retired Army captain at Owens boro, Ky, who embodied it in con- fidential reports to about 40 persons, mostly veterans officials.
 Some Names Deleted
 Gilbert said that some of the names mentioned in his testimony were deleted from the record at the order of chairman Martin Dies, D., Tex.
 He said Assistant Secretary of State Sumner Welles and Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., were mentioned in discussions at the club, according to information given him by his informant.
 Gilbert said the waiter" informed him four days in advance that Welles was about to critize Japan. Mention of Morgenthau. the inform ant asserted, was in connection with the visit of Q French military mis. sion to buy American planes.
 Prior to the summoning Of Gilbert, the committee had subpenaed four persons to tell in public what they knew about an alleged anti-seynitic campaign designed by it's sponsors to prevent the alleged Leftist revol- utlonary plot. Tho four were:

 Talks Social Revolution

Detroit, May 22-UP)-The Rev. Charles E. Coughlin said in his Sunday sermon that he helped pioneer the social revolution" from 1929 to 1882, and warned that 1940 might bring trend back to that era.
 Upon the horizon of 1940 there now looms the menacing figure which has returned from the grave of 1882 to haunt us." Father Cough lin said. "fIis lips are silent but his lean. uplifted forefinger beckons us backwards when we emerged"
 The priest specifically attacked abuses of capitalism and commun- ism. He contended that misuse of capitalism inevitably will stir class against class, terminating in an ur- necessary revolution" and that com- munism would follow in the wake with 'social. economic and spiritual chaos" eft

 "The laborers in the motor, the textile, steel and other industries are idle by the million. Soon their patience will reach the breaking point and soon the national revenue will be unable to deal out doles for their qualification.

Ouints Share Honors
 With British Royalty
MOIST KISSES
 GREETED QUEEN
Quints Upset Every Plan Mapped Out; Queen Was
 Right With Them
BY WEBB MILLER

(Untied Press Staff COrreSp0ndent)
 Toronto, Ont, May 22.-CUP).- The Dionne quintuplets saluted Queen Elizabeth today with five moist kisses in one of the strangest audiences ever granted by British monarchs.
 The queen, forgetting royal cus- tom and tradition, leaned over and put her arms around each of the Dionne children and kissed them back.
 The audience took place in the drawing room of the lieutenant gov- ernor's quarters in the parliament building. The quintuplets were dressed in ankle-length court dresses of white and wore white poke bon nets.
 Dr. Allan P. Dafoe, physician and guardian of the quints, came to the royal audience fearing that at least one of the little girls would stand on her head, seize the kings gloves, or otherwise behave as five-year- old children do.
 Quints Did Swell
 He could have forgotten his wor- ries.
 The quints did swell.
 The quints had been carefully schooled in the technique of making curtsies, but no one had anticipat- ed they would put their arms around the queens neck and kiss her.
 That was their own idea.
 They Rugged Her
 They walked up to the queen, put their arms around her neck and, one by one, kissed her. Persons in the room said the queeen was deep ly touched by that and swiftly kneeled and embraced and kissed each of the children.
 Meanwhile, King George VI of Great Britain and the DominionS beyond the seas, was the forgotten man in the midss or all this feinine affection.

 Berlin, May 22.-UP)- Germany and Italy signed a new ten-year military al liance today and announced to the world that both gov- ernments believe all Eu- ropean problems can be solved peacefully.
 The new alliance, convert ing the Rome-Berlin diplo- matic axis into military belt across middle Europe, was signed amid demonstration of solidarity by Nazi foreign Minister Joachim Von Ribbentrop and Fascist Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano.
 It was formal declaration of an already effective working agreement between the two governments and was designed as a counter-blow to the British and French efforts to set up a united front in Europe which, Nazis charge. wuold "en- circle" the totalitarian powers.
 But Fuehrer Adolf Hitler and Premier Bento Mussolini made every effort to emphatic that the Nazi- Fascit bloc was to be 8 factor for peace, if only because of the mili- tary might of the 70 powers as stabilizing factor in Europe.
 This attitude was reiterated by the two foreign ministers when, after the four-minute ceremony of sign- ing the treaty, they told newspaper men that it was the viewpoint of both German and Italian govern ments that there are no problems in Europe which cannot be solved by peaceful means.
 Same As Mussclini
 This statement echoed similar declarations last week by Mussolini and recalled that the Italian pre- mier had urged peaceful settlement of Germany's quarrel with Poland over DanZig.

CITY MANAGER
 FIGHT FINALE
Comes Tomorrow in Sen- ate When Matter May
 Get Some Decision

The climax of a long and bitter fight over the bill which would have the voters of Waterbury decide at a referendum whether or not they wish to be governed under a city manager charter will arrive at Hartford tomorrow, when the state senate takes up the measure. Listed as the order of the day, at F noon, action on the bill will be pre- ceded by caucuses of both Republi- can and Democratic parties.
 Passed in the house under sus- pension of the rules, the bill has been delayed in the senate for sev- eral weeks. Most of the delay was caused by the printing of the lengthy charter, this being made necessary when the senate refused to take action on it under suspeE- sion of the rules. A large delega- tion from Waterbury will go to the State Capitol tomorrow to witness what may be the final chapter of the charter fight as far as the leg islature is concerned.
 G. O. F. Tag Didn't Help
 Normally the bill would be passed in the senate without great deal of trouble, since it carries the bless ing of the Republican state organi- zation. But that very fact is one of the principal reasons for apposi- ton, with Democratic opponents of the measure prepared to claim that it has been made party issue by the G. O. P.
 Bitter debate on the referendum bill is expected, with Senator George T. Culhane of Waterbury taking a prominent part. Senator Culhane agreed to support the original city manager referendum bill, but when several basic changes in the bill were made, he claimed breach of faith on the part of the Citizens Good Government association, spon-

 Toronto, May 9 = (UP) - King George and Queen Elizabeth arrived under gray skies today to keep an important date with the most fa- nous of their Canadian subjects the Dionne quintuplets.
 Twenty-one guns boomed in sa- lute and thousands on the streets cheered as the king and queen drove to city hall. But so far as the royal visitors were concerned the most im- partant business of the day was to take place in the Parliament build ing where Emile, Cecile, Annette, Yvonne and Marie Dionne-wearing elegant white court dresses-were presented at 12:3o p. m. EDT.
 King George ana Queen Elizabeth had 8 full days schedule, including 8 trip to Woodbine race track where the Kings Plate will be run. They leave at o'clock tonight on another phase of the trip that will carry them across Canada and into the United States.
 During the strenuous activities oi their last day in the Dominion capital yesterday, the King and Queen found time to converse with their children by transatlantic telephone. There may be another call very soon so they can report on their meeting with the quints.
 In Ottawa had occurred a dem- onstration of loyalty and affection, unprecedented, even in England, and a demonstration of democratic pro- cedure on the part of their majesties which caused the more rigid of the monarchists in the crowd to palpi- tate.
 The king just had finished dedi-
