That's up to the corporation"
Nothing is impossible" said Her
man l.. Weckler, vice president in
charge of Chrysler operations.
While both men were obviously
cautious about any predictions.

had indicated a basis for agreement
was at hand.
II expect to hear today proposals
from each side on all matters neces-
sary to end this difficulty" Mr..
Dewey said.
Negotiations over new contract
between corpora ton and union were
scheduled TO resume today Mr..
Dewey said some tentative agree
ments' had been attained Yesterday.
An early settlement of the dispute,
which has caused idleness for
workers in allied industries as we'll
as for Chrysler employees, probably
would coincide with appeals for
