Martin Chancey, the city secretary,
today asked Attorney General Muir
ply to order an investigation of
this ominous development" by the

THE violation of constitutional
rights of citizens and legally con-
stituted organizations, no matter by

port seized at Communist head

show local school teachers had been
organized in the Communist ranks
and that the organization was ac-
tive in the Navy Yard and elsewhere
in the Government.
Representative Dies, Democrat, of

Chancey said, "is making much Of
a report l am supposed to have
made and identified as genuine. In
this, too. he is acting dishonesty.
A number of questions were asked
me about document which Mr..

tify.
Nevertheless, alleged contents of
this document were released to the
press the following day as a 'genu-
ine' report identified by me. Fur
thermore, Mr.. Dies announced that
he had obtained the records of

Has Met Notable Americans.
Although she's never been to the
United States before, as society
editor of La Nacion she's met some
OF its most distinguished citizens,
among them President Roosevelt
and Clark Gable. Both of them
warranted an expressive twinkle in
her dark eyes.
With only trace of an accent
and a surprising adeptness for
American slang. she told The Stars

back home is very selective thing
Diplomats have first place." she
said. And then only those really
important socially get on the So

people in the polite that are not

She wanted to know if the So

ChrysIer-C. |. 0. Row
Spreads 10 Sd Plant,
Making 10000 Idle
Assembly 'Speedup.'
Showdown Strike Charged
By Opposing Sides
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
DETROIT. Oct. 10.-A dispute be-
tween the Chrysler Corp. and the
c. I. o. United Automobile Workers,
which closed two plants and made
more than $4,000 employees idle,
spread to a third unit today.
Approximately 1000 workers were
sent home from the Kercheval plant,
which supplies bodies to two divi-
sions of the corporation. It's closing,
the spokesman said, followed "a
strike on the armrest assembly line
and among the conveyor leaders"
william Marshall, president of the
U. A. VIC. I. o. Chrysler Local,
said the management of the Kerche-
val plant had attempted to remove
78 woman employees from seniority
rolls and that the union protested.
Company spokesmen said their
action in closing the plants came
when union employees began a SLOW
down" strike. cutting production so
per cent by allowing every other car
to go by them in the line untouched.
Union Charges "Speedup."
Union officials countered with the
charge that the company had
ordered a "speedup" in production
rate which the men were unable to
handle because of unfamiliarity with
the new models.
The company sent 10000 day-shift
workers home 20 minutes after the
start of operations yesterday and
took similar action affecting 1000
workers on the night shift an hour
after they had reported for work.
Another 1900 workers in the Dodge
truck plant also were sent home
when company spokesmen said the
showdown" had spread to that
plant.
The day shift workers reported for
duty again this morning, but we're
dismissed within half an hour.
Workmen filing from the plant said
the management had stopped work
five minutes after it had started.
Representatives of the U. A. W.
c. I. o. and Chrysler Corp con-
ferred last night without reaching
an agreement. After the meeting
Richard T. Frankensteen, director
of the unions Chrysler division said
he had presented demands that the
company establish normal" pro-
duction speed and that it submit
the case of certain discharged en-
ployes to arbitration.
New Contract Is Factor.
The management said the SLOW
down" had started after it refused
to reinstate a number of union en-
ployes discharged as disciplinary"
measure
Both the company and the Q. A.
VIC. I. o. contended the forth
coming negotiations for a new con-
tract were factor in the dispute.
Each accused the other of using a
display of force" to influence the
negotiations.
The union won large majorities
in most Of the Chrysler plants-in-
cluding the Dodge units-in the re-
cent poll taken by the National
Labor Relations Board. The con-
tract, which expired september 30,
has been extended indefinitely pend
ing the drawing of a new one.
Union spokesmen said they would
not begin negotiations for the new
contract until the Dodge issue was
settled.
