GIN Proposal 10 Make
Parts for Competitors
Stirs Auto Industry
ClO Union WithhoIds
Comment on PIun to
Reopen Some PIonts
By the Associated Press.

DETROIT, Dec. 1.-The highly
competitive automobile industry
was startled today by General
Motors proposal to reopen some
Of its 70-odd strike bound plants
to produce parts and accessories
solely for its rivals.
c. E. Wilson, G. M. President,
made the unexpected move last
night in a letter to the striking
CIO Auto Workers Union, which
withheld comment pending further
study.
Increasing the proposals import
ance was the dependence of most
other car manufacturers on General
Motors for essential parts. An in
dustry spokesman had predicted a
virtual shutdown of other auto
motive firms as result of the G. M.
strike.
Wilson Charges Unfairness.
The JAWS reaction was watched
also in light of the unions an
nounced strategy to blockade" Gen.
eral Motors while assisting other
producers in hasty return to
peacetime production.
Mr.. Wilson, in a letter to UAW
President R. ]. Thomas, said he
thought it was very unfair" for
the union to single out General
Motors for its labor blockade"
He said GIN is willing to ship any
materials ready for shipment to
other manufacturers and to operate
all its parts and accessory divisions
for the duration of the strike sex
clusively on outside work-that' is,
on material required by manufac-
turerS other than the General Mo-
tors car, truck and body divisions"
The management of each division,
he explained, would call back to
work the men required to do this
with the definite understanding

Hess Must Continue
In War Crime Trial,
Tribunal Declares

Intelligence Expert
BY the Associated Press.

NUREMBERG, Dec. 1.-The
international Military Tribunal
ruled today that Rudolf Hess,
who confessed he had been
taking amnesia, must continue
to stand trial with 10 other Nazi
leaders accused of war crimes.
Lord Justice Sir Geoffrey Law
renee, presiding, announced that no
further mental examinations of Hit
ler's former deputy were necessary
and that he was capable of standing
trial.
Hess, who had read novels and
paid scant attention to early por-
tions of the trial, created a sensa-
ton yesterday when he told the
court he had simulated loss of mem
ory for tactical" reasons and an
nounced he would stand responsible
for all of his actions.
Hess appeared much relieved by his
confession and for the first time
since the trial began engaged in
lively conversation with other pris-
oners in the box just before the ses-
sion opened.
Hess had Grand Admirals Karl
Doenitz and Erich Raeder shaking
with laughter when he told them
how he pretended loss of memory
and partial insanity. All other de-
PENDANTS were absent yesterday
when Hess made his sensational
confession and most of them found
it great joke when they learned of
it for the first time today.
The one-time Nazi glamour boy who
became one of the wars mystery men
after he parachuted into Scotland
in the early summer of 1941, had
hardly left the tribunals presence
yesterday when he began boasting
that he had made psychiatrists of
four nations "look ridiculous"
Hess, aide to Hitler in the writing
of Mein Kampf, appeared to love the
spotlight which switched suddenly
to him after his startling announce
ment.

cisco psychiatrist who had examined
Hess, gave this Interpretation of the
