For NlRb Review in

BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, Aug. 9.-The CLIO
United Automobile Workers ap-
pealed to the National War Labor
Board today to review a dispute
which has resulted in renewal of a
strike affecting 1000 employees in
five plants of the Chevrolet gear and
axle division of General Motors
Corp
Walter B. Reuther, JAW vice
president in charge of the unions
General Motors department. tele-
graphed WLB Chairman William
H. Davis that formal petitions for
review would be filed Immediately
with the regional War Labor Board
in Detroit.
Mr.. Reuther said the regional
board had contravened established
policies in permitting the dismissal
of seven men whom he described as
key employees" The dismissals, he
said, along with other actions of the
corporation, had made the unions
continuing efforts to obtain a re-
sumption of production "ineffec-
tual."
The telegram referred to the seven
dismissals as "a direct cause" of the
renewed work stoppage. The seven
men we're officers of JAW Local
235, collective bargaining agency for
the strikers.
At shoW-cause hearing Mr..
Reuther placed part of the blame
for continuance of the second strike
on the regional WLB for double
talk" and hedging" in not ordering
the seven workers reinstated.
Harry B. Coen, labor relations d.
rector for the company, said in
creased production rates, which pre-
cipitated the original walkout, were
set after time studies with the union
and were low enough for women to
meet without complaint.
Only six people, I understand,
were sent home for failure to keep
up the production rate" Mr.. Coen
declared. Mr. Reuther retorted that
the production rates were in viola
ton of the contract and that the
six were f1red-not just sent home.

l20-Pound CountryBoy
Who Boeeed so kozis

SPRING MOUNT, Pa, Aug. g.
The "One-Man Army of Anzio' and
his MON" are together again today
and the Army is broke but happy.
Pic. Alton w. Knappenberger, the
20-year-old, 120-pound, 5-foot-4

attacking German infantry COM

IT'S nice, but I had to stand there
while Gen. Clark presented it and
well, l guess I'd almost rather fight.
Pvt. Knappenberger, a sunny faced
youth with steady smile, was
ordered to retreat with the remnants
of his battered company when the
Nazis attacked on Anzio-but he de-
cided against it.
While his comrades moved to the
rear, he covered them with steady
bursts OF fire that bowled over lines
of Nazi soldiers until he ran out of
ammunition.

ID. {. Stun Bills Hi
Snag in Congress

Doubt that Congress win complete
action ct this session on WaShine-
tons disputed slum clearance and
rehousing programs was voiced to-
day on Capitol Hill.
With the Senate and House now
devoting its attention almost ex-
clusively to national postwar and
reconversion plans and with sug-
gestions Of recess until November,
starting as soon a. these are adopted,
1t appeared the slum problems may
be left for Z new Congress.
Pressure for speedy action on
competing slum bills was lifted in
June when Congress postponed until
next July ! the deadline on alley
dwelling occupancy.
Hearings before the McGehee Sub
committee Of the House District
Committee on the slum bills now
are not expected to be resumed
until September and II there Is
reelection recess still further delay
may ensue.
On the Senate side the competing
bills have been referred to 4 Senate
District subcommittee headed by
Senator Walsh, Democrat, OF New
Jersey and he indicated again today
he does not plan to call for hear
ings on them until the House COM
mittee has finished with the key
witnesses.
