Discharged

DETROIT, March 1O-(P) -
Apparently with full sanction
of Union officials, the names of
ten Ford Motor Co. employees
who participated in a demon
stration in the Rouge Plant Air
craft building were blotted per-
manently from the pay roll to-
day.
The discharges and indefinite
suspensions of ten other persons
were melted out at hearing
which ended late yesterday. The
hearing was attended by Rich
ard T. Leonard, National Ford
director for the United Automo-
bile Workers (CIO); Joseph
Twyman,c retiring president of
Ford Local 900 of the Union,
with which the employees were
affiliated; and Earl Bowers, air
craft building representative Of
the local.
The action was taken shortly
after r. j. Thomas, UAW-CIO
president, had asked local 600
officials TO take drastic and
effective action" in connection
with the disturbance and an un-
authorized work stoppage Tues
day which he said was "unjusti-
fled" and in violation Of the un-
ions constitution and no-strike
pledge.
The discharged and suspended
employees weer accused by the
company of using "riotous me-
thods" Wednesday in protesting
disciplinary action taken against
three workers charged with vio-
lating shop rules. A Ford
spokesman said $50 employees
stormed the labor relations Of
flee, causing considerable dam
age, and beating a plant guard.
The crack down was the first
since Thomas announced new
policy adopted by the JAW

LONDON, March 10 -(P-
British and American COM
mandos" under Capt. Randolph
Churchill have landed on LISA
Island off the Dalmatian coast of
Yugoslavia, the Berlin radio
said today.
The broadcast said Churchill,
son of the British Prime Minis
ter, had taken command of AL
lied troops on the island, but it
remained to be seen whether
his forces would include 1000
followers of Marshall Tito (Josip
Broz) there.
VISITED TITO
Young Churchill recently con-
ferred with Marshal Tito, pre-
sumably after he parachuted in
I Yugoslavia. The Berlin broad
cast identified him as "a Brit
ish general with the name of
Churchill" but there was no
doubt here that Berlin was talk
ing about the Prime Minister'S
son. There was no immediate
confirmation, however, Of the
landing report.
Churchill, 80, was the first
member OF Parliament to be-
come q paratrooper. The Allies
have been giving aid to Tito's
Partisans, but there has been no
official announcement Of the
presence of British Commando
or American Ranger troops In
Yugoslavia.
"These attachments are prob
ably designed to secure the is
land as a supply base and to
guard American and British
supplies located on the island on
behalf of the Tito brands in
southeast Europe" the radio
said.
