Commerce Official
Denies Aides Gave
Industry Data 10 JAW
By the Associofed Press

A Commerce Department spokes-
man asserted last night that no
department employe had given a
copy Of an automobile industry
survey to the CIO United Workers
Union secretly or otherwise"
General Motors Corp. said in
Detroit Saturday night it had asked
the Senate Labor Committee to
investigate "the degree of collabo-
ration which existed between the
CIO United Auto Workers and
statisticians employed by the Fed
eral Government"
A corporation spokesman said GIN
contends a report prepared by an
employe of the Commerce Depart
ment was given secretly to The UAW
and was used as a basis of the
unions August 18 demands for a
80 per cent wage increase.
Survey Made Last Summer.
Bruce Cation, Commerce Depart
ment information chief, told a re-
porter last night the survey in ques-
tion had been made last summer
to Harold Vein, statistician he
said now was employed by the
Justice Department but who was

employe.
1--WE understand Vein distributed
some copies of his survey to vari-
GUS other statisticians and econom-
lists and later submitted ii to us
for publication in the Summary of
Current Business, monthly publi-
cation of the department." Mr..
Cation said.
Once it was received by our de-
partment the report stayed there
and no department employe ever
was in collusion with UAW or other
outside parties.
However, it IS possible that
Vein himself or one of the other
persons who had copy of the sur
vey might very properly have given
a copy to the CIO union"
