Stakes Are High, Bitterness Rampant, But the Smart Money Is on Thomas

provocatively and sometimes pro- voklngly, yet manages to be very popular with the factory workers who are his constituents.
 He is 6 moderate, middle -of-the. road, an old school Socialist, philoso- phically akin to those who lead Great Britain's Labor Party. He believes firmly in the unions right to a voice in rnanagement-at the very least, to inspect company books and determine for themselves whether the employer can pay high CT wages.
 He is ardently for rigorous con- trol of prices. If he had had his way, he would hather have seen no raise for the steel-workers than to permit the $5-a-ton price boost that was granted to make the raise possible.
 He favors increased government intervention in the conduct of private business and increased gov- ernment participation in business on its own behalf, starting with IVA type development wherever suffi- cient water flows.
 HAS BRAIN TRUST
 He has brain trust which he utilizes regularly. A member is his tall, bespectacled brother, Victor a Socialist more simon-pure than himself. Walter values Victor's ad- vice. But, say those who should know, Walter is no puppet dancing to Victor's manipulation. He plans his own strategy and carries 1t out.
 Like most Socialists of his per- suasion, Reuther hates Communism

JAW Faces Stormy Convention As Reuther Thomas Vie for Control

and Communists. Tn the opinion of many observers, his election as JAW president would end the strong influence that the Reds have built assiduously for almost 20 years in that union and its affiliates.
 As JAW president, Reuther would become a prime power in the CLIO, where 1t is predicted that he would fight Communists in all unions and do his best to destroy their domina- ton in Sidney Hillman'S Political Action Committee.
 And finally, as JAW president he would become heir presumptive to the throne of CLIO. chieftain Phil Murray when that rlore-too- healthy leader steps out.
 Hillman no doubt has his trusted agents in Atlantic City to see that Reuther does not get in position to break up his close working al- liance with the Reds in PAC.
 Murray has agents there to work for Thomas, who will take orders, against Reuther, who would not. LEADERS AGAINST REUTHER
 JAW leaders who themselves would like to step into the na- tional picture as head of the sec ond largest union in the C.I.O. (the JAW has dropped from 8 million to some 600,O00 since the wartime aircraft program ceased, while the steel workers have some 900,000) are against Reuther.
 And Thomas himself is on the job. He is a roly-poly, poker playing, tobacco chewing, bull voiced good fellow who would have made 8 successful Tammany District leader if he had gone into Democratic politics in New York.
 There are those who say that he is not over smart, but he has done rather well for himself, and the ending of the GMC strike with an IS l-2 cent pay boost, instead of the 19 1-2 cents for which Reuther held out, may count as a victory for Thomas.
 Reuther will make much of the news in the election. He knew, when he challenged Thomas, what were the odds against him, and he didn't start the fight without some idea how he could make 1t inter- esting. It should be worth watching.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-03-21

The smart money Is on Thomas for c paradoxical reason: Thomas, and his politically adept lefB wing Communists, by Sidney Hillmari the conservative, is backed by the Political Action Committed as well as by C.IO. President Philip Murray and by JAW leaders who themselves are on the make and want to stop Reuther.
 VAST REPERCUSSIONs
 If Reuther should win, the roper cussions would extend far beyond the ranks of the JAW, and even beyond those of the C.I.O. itself.
 Reuther is author of economic philosophies and plans that have caused wide discussion. including the early war Reuther Plan for conversion of automobile plants and the post-war Reuther argument that wages can be boosted materially without any increase in price. He also was leader of the protracted General Motors strike.

Goering Lied As Witness Claims FyIe
 Prosecutor Says
 Ne Knew Orders to
 XIII AlEmen
BY WALTER CRONKTTE


 Nuremberg, March 21.--(UP) David Maxwell Fyfe, British prose- cutor, accused Hermann Goering today of lying on the witness stand when he said he did not know of Na1 orders to kill Royal Air Force fugitives from a prison camp.
 Goering denied an affidavit by General WeSthoff, who said Mar shal Wilhelm Keitel reported Goer. ing had reproached him for permit. ting the escape of the RAF men, from the notorious Stalag Luft III Prison Camp.
 Nad Squirms
 Squir1ning uncomfortably, Goer- ing also denied Westhoff's state- ment that Goer1ng attended con- ference with Adolf Hitler. Heinrich Hinmler and Keitel at which Keitel called for the shooting of escaped prisoners.
 Snapping answers to Fyfe's sharp questions, Goering stuck to his story that he did not know of orders to kill the airmen until 1t was too late.
 T am suggesting that you are lying and leaving responsibility on the shoulders of your junior of- ficers," Fyfe said.
 According to the affidavit, It. Gen. Grosch protested against the SllootingS to Gen. Fuerster of the German Air Force and demanded that Goering be informed.
 We decided the best way to reach Goering was through Gen. Erhard Mich, and F'uerSter called Milch for an appointment. He left immediately, and returned shortly to say he had reported to Milich and Milch made the necessary notes" the affidavit said.
 Goering asked Fyfe why Milch had not been questioned about the affidavit.
 He was questioned" Fyfe rec, piled, but he has the same story as yours. I suggest that you both are lying.
 Goering denied that the invasion of Poland was delayed because the Italian Air Force advised 1t was not ready for full scale war.
 When Italian assistance came into the discussion, all doubted its value," he said. During those days of tension, 1t was clear Italy was trying to evade reSponsibil- ity.
 Refused Alliance
 '"The Fuehrer was convinced that the British guarantee to Poland was concluded only because the British government meanwhile had heard of Italy's attitude and refused to become our ally"
 Goering admitted he advised Count Galeazzo Ciano Italian foreign minister, on October g, l942, to adopt ruthless measures against partlsans, including shoot ing.

PoIiceUnion Again Seeks Recognition
 Board Agrees 10
 Meet Delegation
 kS "cIVIzens"

Waterbury's Policemen's Union, Local 02o of the State, County and Municipal Workers Union, A. F. L., remained unrecognized today as a bargaining unit following yester- days decision by the Board of Po- lice Commissioners that 1t would meet Union members April 3, not as an official bargaining unit, but as citizens who may present such matters as may be deemed befle- ficial to the Police Department"
 The Union, formed last summer, has been Inrecognized by the city as having any official standing as such; and members today reiter- ated their determined fight to be recognized. Thomas Brennan, Re- publican alderman and representa- tive of the Union, said last night that the right of the Police Board to meet the Union Ion any other basis other than as Q union com mittee" will be challenged.
 Mir. Brennan yesterday addressed the Board in an effort to affect meeting between Board members and representatives of the Union to take up several problems" pertin- ate to the welfare of local police men. The Board voted to meet four Union members, John Cronin, Frank Romano, Patrick Kennedy and Joseph German, at meeting of the Board on April 3 "as citt- zens".
 The problem expected to be placed before Board members will include early action on procurement of police uniforms. The new plan of obtaining uniforms is that the city will pay half the cost and the policeman the other half. The question of wage adjustments will be discussed, 1t was learned; but Mir. Brennan did not disclose any details of what increases would be sought. He said that several other sion but was reluctant to elucidate matters were earInarked for discus. on his statement.
 About 76 per cent of the Police Department has been enrolled in the Union, 1t was learned. The Fire Department, with a similar union, has enrolled over 90 per cent of all department personnel, said Head- quarters spokesman. When asked yesterday if 8 meeting between union members and the Fire Board would be forthcoming, MT. Brennan was quick to reply: Definitely. He said, however, that there has been no date set for such meet ing.

the recovery side of today's stock
market although many leaders con-
tinued to suffer from light selling.
Hopes for a year-end rally, in
addition to pleasing dividends and
earnings prospects, received the
principal credit for timid bidding,
Numerous customers, however, held
aloof pending possible wage con-
troversies in the steel and automo-
tive fields. Tax adjustments still
were handicaps.
Prices stiffened here and there
after an irregular start and a subse-
quent dip. Dealings were relatively
slow throughout and the direction
a bit hazy near the fourth hour.
