COP Boosts Eisenhower
 Senotor Copper
 Wants Army Chief

Washington, Dec. 10-UP)-Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower has been proposed as the Republican Party'S 1948 presidential nominee.
 Describing the new Army chief of staff as a "statesman-ex executive of the highest caliber," Sen. Arthur Capper, (R., KansD, made the pro posal last night in radio address over Station VIEW, Topeka. He said he had not discussed the mat ter with Eisenhower
 Capper said the generals record as Supreme Allied Commander showed him to be a statesman, a diplomat, a patriot as well as a soldier-perhaps the closest to George Washington we have ever produced in our national history"
 Eisenhower is not affiliated with any political party and it is not known whether he would be re- ceptive to an offer. Most frequently mentioned now for the COPS 1948 presidential nomination are Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York, the 1914 standard bearer, and Harold E. Stassen, former governor of Min neSota.

Boston, Dec. 10-(UP)-Despite a predicted unemployment peak of G. GOO, ,O00 by the spring of 1946, the United Business Service today fore cast a substantial 1946 business re- covery from reconversion levels with volume only about 10 per cent less than in 1945.
 The service made the following predictions for 1946:
 l. Full-year business volume will be about 10 per cent less than in 1945 but will be well above pre-war levels with most of the improvement in the second half of the year.
 3. Retail prices will probably ad- vanse about 10 per cent and whole sale prices from six to eight per cent. Few ceilings will reroain after mid -1S46 but unbridled imitation is not in prospect.

month, had engaged in unfair labor practices and should be held in con- tempt for allegedly violating U. s, Circuit Court decree upholding the Wagner Act.
 Daniel Baker, attorney for the NLRB regional office at New York, arrived at Stamford to examine of ficials of both management and the union.
 The union charges were brought against the company, its president, w. Gibson Carey, Jr., and Gen. Mgr. William R. Hoyt.
 Interfered In Rights
 The union protested that they had interfered with the rights of employees to organize and bargain collectively.
 The circuit court decree which the company was charged with vio- lating, supported finding of the NIRB that interference with the rights of workers, and the dis charge of employees for union activ- ities was a violation of the Wagner Act. The AFL-IAM declared that actions of the Yale & Towne con- cern were new violations of the de- cree, and in contempt of the orig inal order.
 Baker began his inquiry at the union headquarters, examining the LAM officials. Later he was to question Carey, Hoyt and others.
 AS the ULRB investigation began, the union charged management with breaking faith with the gov ernor" in writing to employees, oth- CT than office workers, to report and compile the payrollS.
 Complain To Minister
 A complaint also was made to Rev. Joseph F. Donnelly, vice. chairman of the State Board of Mediation and Arbitration.
 Grand Lodge Representative Adam Yokel declared that some of the letters went to "laborers sweepers, truckmen, foundrymer and polshers,' and some of them couldn't even read or write. A
 T may report this to the gov ernor, YoRel said.
 General Manager William R Hoyt, however, insisted that the let ters went to those required to make up the payroll, and that only 13s 1 letters had been dispatched. Comparatively few of the clerica force reported today, and no enough to compile the payrolls.
 Yokel declared that the company lis trying to break this strike rather than cooperate with the governor, and that the union was holding 8 meeting to check the letters which Continued on Page ?

another conference tomorrow in an effort to resolve the Week-old dis pute.
 A possibility that the striking workers, who total about 450, will return to their jobs and pave the way for an authorized walkout, through an NLRB strike vote, was suggested today but CIO officials made no comment.
 Commissioner Truax conferred with the disputants over the week end, and called another conference with management and labor repre- sentatives for tomorrow morning.
 The union seeks rehiring of Charles Didsbury, president of the Thomaston CIO local, restoration of the previous work-schedule on Dids- bury's draw bench machine, and then arbitration on the company's plan to change operations of the machine.
 The company has requested re- turn of the striking workers to their employment, with arbitration of the dispute to follow.
 The Thomaston workers walked out week ago, when the company changed Didsbury's schedule so that two instead of three workers would operate the machine, and fired Didsbury when he objected. The Waterbury workers joined in the strike last Friday, in protest to the company action in Thomaston.

 The CIO also was reported await ing resumption of negotiations on the wage dispute involving the American Brass Go. and the Chase Brass & Copper Go.

 JAW and Company
 Resume PorIeys

Detroit, Dec. 1Q-(UP)-A walk out threat of another g 900 employ es hung over General Motors today as 1t resumed wage negotiations with the United Automobile Workers Union (CIO) in an effort to settle the 20-day-old strike of ITS 900 JAW members.
 In peace talks scheduled for 10 a. m. (EST) the company faced union threat to shutdown GM Appliance plants by a strike of CIO Electrical workers unless arrangements makes large concessions in the JAWS de- mands.
 JAW Vice President alter P. Reuther said bluntly that the union expected good faith" bargaining by the company or it would consider further negotiations as time vast ing"
 Reuther said good faith" would be denoted by one of the two pro- posals from company negotiators: Ian offer of wage increases in line with union demands, or 2-willing- ness to reveal company records for factual determination of ability to pay.
 Advances Spurned
 Repeated company offers to ad- vance wages 10 per cent have been spurned.
 The JAW has asked the 25 900 en- ployes of five major GM appliance plants to join the strike as a sym- pathy demonstration if the com pany fails to meet the "good faith" test. Reuther said he did not doubt that the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers Union (CIO) would agree to the proposal.
 UE-C1O is negotiating with Gen. eral Motors for a g day wage i-a- crease, but has not raised the oues- tion of the company's ability to pay.
 Such a strike would bring to 98 the number of GM plants closed by the wage dispute. A total of 20o00o workers would be on strike, and ar,- other 5000 office workers would be added to the 5000 now idle.
 Labor leaders watched Washing ton for possible White House reac- ton to the JAWS latest blast against President Truman.

 From Conodo Hit

Buffalo, N. Y, Dec. 1O.-UP)- U. s. Immigration officials, working to smash a white slave ring which allegedly lured Canadian girls into this country for immoral purposes. said today that illegal border cross ings from Canada had tripled since V-J Day.

 One official expressed fear that the international vice traffic might surpass that of 1889 when an extra ordinary grand jury was impanelled to investigate corruption on the Niagara frontier.
