 Ford Situation
 Detroit, April { = (UP)-Federal Labor Conciliator James ?. Dewey today deferred further conferences with the United Autmoobile Work CTS QCIO) and the Ford Motor Com pany until after Q personal inspec- ton tour of the strikebound River Rouge plant.
 Dewey said there would be no further meetings with either side until he and Thomas J. Donahue, chairman of q special state media ton commission, had visited the plant and assured themselves that there were no new difficulties such as disrupted their peace efforts yesterday.

 The Ford Company had 9i64, ,000,- 900 worth of defense contracts, much of 1t centered in the River Rouge plant, which IS the largest industrial unit in the world and employs normally 86,000 workers.
 Another factor in the delay, Dewey said, was federal court action on c temporary injunction the com- pany obtained last night restraining the CTO and the JAW from inter- ference with anyone wishing to enter or leave the River Rouge plant.
 Union Attorney Ernest Goodman obtained Subpoenas for Henry and Edsel Ford and their personnel di- rector, Harry Bennett, as witnesses in the case after Federal Judge Ar- thur J. Futile declined to receive ag, oral motion to set aside the injunc. ton.
 The subpoenas were handed to Deputy U. s. Snarshals and Futile said he would be ready to receive @ written motion which Goodman promised to have ready this after noon. Goodman told reporters the
