By ALLEN V. BOWLING

Detroit, Sept. IT - CUP) - The powerful CIO United Automobile Workers today gave the far-fiung General Motors Empire until to- morrow to grant 30 per cent pay roll boost or face strike vote in its 135 plants from coast to coast. Walter P. Reuther, JAW vice. president, said the union would wait until tomorrow before petitioning for a strike vote among GINS 350,- 900 workers. It warned Ford Motor Company and Chrysler-the other two thirds of the Auto industry's Big Three-strike votes were slated for their sprawling systems next week unless the blanket boost was granted.
 Ford closed down its plants here and in other cities last Friday be- cause of a strike at the Kelsey Hayes Wheel Company, Ford sup- plier.
 Wildcat Strike
 The JAW tried unsuccessfully to end the wildcat Kelsey Hayes walk out over the weekend. The JAW executive board named Percy Lle- wellyn, co-director of the JAWS IA region. as special administrator of the Kelsey-Hayes local,
 The strikers refused to obey Lle- wellyn's order to return to work. Less than $50 of the 4,500 strikers attended a meeting presided over la, 1au,a1l1,y, vaetarday Tl,ay tonly no action on his request that they end the walkout which followed dis missal of 12 men for allegedly eject- ing two foremen from plant depart mentS.
 The situation looks unfavorable, |" Llewellyn said, but my job is to stay and try to get the workers back"
 The JAW was anxious to effect- uate the return of 50,000 Ford work CTS, laid off as a result of the wheel factory tieup. All whip cracking failed to move the Kelsey Hayes strikers, however Blanket Increase
 The JAW said 1t was going right aneaQ WlIn US new strategy VO COu- centrate all pressure on one corpo- ration for a test" of its power to force the industry-wide wage in- crease.
 Geoge Adde's, JAW secretary tary
 treasurer, said the JAW had $2,000,- 900 war chest for the campaign and was backed by another $2,000, 1000 from the unions locals.
 The Kelsey Hayes workers walk ed out 31 days ago. Tn an unrelated strike 10000 workers were out at the Windsor, Ont, Ford plant. The men struck last week because the Canadian conciliation board decided in favor of the JAW local on only two of ten points disputed with the company.

 YugOslavia Rejection
 Yugoslavia in a 5000 memorar1- dunn to the council, rejected a pro- posal to internationalize Trieste and pressed her claim to Istria and VeneAa Giulia.
 The Yugoslav embassey here made public the memorandum submitted to the council Saturday. It identified the disputed territory as "The Ju- lian March" and said 1t lis coun- try which is geographically, ethno- graphically, economically, and by the will of its population a consti- tuent part of Yugoslavia."
 Edward Kardelj, vice premier of Yugoslavia, was on hand to pre- sent his country's claims.
 ItaIy's Claim
 Foreign Minister Alcide De Cas- peri and a large group of technical advisers came to try to convince the Big Five that Trieste should re- main under Italy's sovereignty be- cause of its predominant Italian population.
 Sources close to the council be lieved the Italians were ready to concede some measure of justice in the Yugoslav claim to Venezia Giulia and Istria outside Trieste.
 A Daily Mail dispatch from Tri- este said that a reign of terror IS going on in the lonely hinterland of Trieste" and "so far 1t looks as though the YugoSlavs are to blame
