C.. VI. Strike to be Bitter Issue.

Atlantic City, Mar. 23-kP-
The General Motors strike appears
likely to become a bitterly fought
issue at the CIO United Auto

few days.

candidates happens to be the man
who led he strike. Walter Reuther.
Vice President Reuther is regard
ed as almost certain to run against
President r. ]. Thomas. Reuther
hasn't announced his candidacy but
his followers expect him TO throw
his hat in the ring after a meeting
OF the Reuther faction tonight.
Some Reuther opponents already
have begun an attack on the strate-
gy OF the strike. A resolution has
been submitted, criticising the
handling OF the strike and is being
considered by the resolutions COM
mittee OF the convention. Reuther
has testified privately before the
committee concerning It.
Another explosive resolution un-
der consideration would put the
convention on record as opposing
company security" clauses In un-
ion contracts. This, too. Is likely
to touch on battle IL 1t reaches
the convention floor for debate.
The automobile companies have
been pressing for such clauses de.
signed top rotect the companies
against unauthorized or wild cat
strikes by penallzing the workers
who take part. Such provision
was written into the UAW-C1O
agreement and IL aroused consid.
erable opposition among Ford
workers. There is no company

ment with General Motors.

witnessing the experiments which
were scheduled TO start in the

ment virtually on the eve Of the

much conjecture. however, parti-
Cularly since yesterday produced
Generalissimo Stains public avow-
al Of confidence I'm UNO's future

believed no nation was seeking

PerpleXing features in the pic
ture were that the A.bomb test

motion and that the UNO meeting
as well as continued Congression-
al sessions, both have been fairly
definite for some time. And Capt..
tol Hin has not noted any wide
spread clamor from legislators to
witness the experiment.
Initial reaction was that the
Presidents unexpected decision
was related in some degree 10 the
uneasy ecent state OF international
affairs, the congressional COntro-

future atomic development. and
also the administrations difficul-
ties in mastering sufficient votes in
