NO SETTLEMENT IN TWO MAJOR
 STRIKE ISSUES
(pY THE ASSOCIATED pREss)

The latest efforts to settle two of the country's major labor con troversies failed today.
 The CIO United Auto Workers prepared to intensity their 104-day old strike against General Motors Corp, as the threat of a nation wide telephone tieup next Thurs day continued unabated. UAW-CIO leaders expressed dis dain for a GM proposal that the Union let it's 175.000 idle members decide by secret ballot whether the strike should be prolonged.
 Rejecting the Unions plan for arbitration of the dispute, GM yes- terday proposed a poll of the JAW CIO rank and file on the corpor- ation's offer of an 18 1-2 cents hourly wage increase.
 Union leaders, who are battling for the 19 1-2 cents boost recom- mended by Presidential fact-finders. declared GM did not dare" arbi- trate and termed the proposal for a back -to-work ballot an 'unwar- ranted interference in the affairs of democratic union"
 The prospect of averting tele- phone tieup seemed dim after the breakup early today of negotiat- ing session between the American Telephone and Telegraph Co.,, and representatives of employees who handle the nations long distance calls.
 John J. Morgan, President of the Long Lines telephone workers. said his members will go on strike as scheduled at a. m. Thursday along with Is other groups affiliated with the Independent National Fedora tion of Telephone Workers.
 Around 100000 continued idle in labor disputes.

Immortality

 German Area
Issue Brought Into Open Regarding U. 5. Forces
 Headquarters

FRANKFURT, Germany, March A U. S. Army chaplain said today that the prevalence" of im- morality in Europe has been brought into the open by publica- ton of letter asserting that Ger man girls are allowed to Tive" with American officers at the U. s. Forces headquarters compound here.
 The letter, written by British girl and published in the Army newspaper, Stars and Stripes, said in part:
 Why should German girls be allowed to live in the compound with American officers? I know of several instances and if necessary would lead officers to men I con slider rotten to the core. Maybe they have not lost any thing in this war or suffered any hardship, and that is why. they can forget that the Krauts are part of the evil which caused so much suffering in this world" Col. L. Curtis Herman of Kansas City, chaplain for the European theatre, said the letter revealed the prevalence of looseness and im- morality, and the general breakdown of army discipline in Europe" Another chaplain said he was glad the scandal has come at last into the open"
 Officers and civilians living in the compound, a barbed wire enclosed area of several square miles which was formerly a part of the I. G. Farben Industrie, are permitted to take girls into the compound any, time except between 10:30 p. m. and 830 a. m.
 On weekends, girls are permitted to stay in the compound over Sun day but must leave early Monday morning.

The influence of J. J. OLeary former defense counsel for George Harrison Meeks, still pervaded the courtroom today when newly asso- ciated Defense Counsel M. E. Mon- agle moved for a inistrial on the grounds that OLeary's courtroom tactics had "prejudiced the jury against his defendant"

The W Washinqton Merry Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-Two of the bit terest opponents on the House floor and in the Interstate Commerce Committee are representatives Clar- ence Brown, conservative Republi- can of Manchester, Ohio, and Vito Marcantonio, American Laborite of New York City. Off the floor, how ever, the two respect each others ability and get along well.
 Sitting in the House lobby the other day they smilingly concluded an agreement which will probably never be carried out.
 They were talking about cam- paign expenses, when Brown pro- posed: Vito, I've got suggestion Why don't we both cut our cam paign expenses to the bone? Here's how to do it:
 You go into my district and make three speeches against me Call me a reactionary Hooverite, an isolationists, an economic royalist- and anything else you can think of Thatll elect me.
 Then I'll go into your district and make three speeches. I'll call you a red, dago, a New Dealer and an anti-Rankinite.
 With the proper literature about you in my district and the proper literature about me in your dis trict, both of us are cinch for re- election when we do that"
 Marcantonio agreed that the idea had merit, and they shook hands on it.

SAN DIEGO. caliT.. Mar A. Bulldozers cut through forest and brush on the steep slopes of Thing Mountain today, clearing a path to effect the recovery of 27 bodies from a wrecked and burned Ameri- can Airlines passenger plane.
 Indications were that stretcher bearers would not be able to get to the bodies, all but six of them charred, until late in the day.
 Westbound from New York to Los Angeles, the plane yesterday rammed into the side of the fog shrouded mountain, 60 miles east of San Diego, less than an hour be- fore it's scheduled landing in Los Angeles. It was last reported oyer Fl Centro, Calf. at 7:53 a. m. and is believed to have crashed and ex- ploded few minutes later.
 The crash was the worst in con- mercial airlines history. On Jan 10, 1945, 24 were killed in an Amer ican Airlines plane near Los Ang- eles.
 Hail and snowstorms hampered the rescue parties and the path clearing crew. Progress up the 6.000- foot peak was slow. A sheriff's party reached the crash scene, l,500 feet from the summit, yesterday af- ternoon. They found all but the tail section and a part of the wing had been destroyed by flames.
 The bodies of g adults and two infants were found by the searchers before the hunt was abandoned to await the dawn. Bodies of the oth- CT two passengers are believed to re in the charred wreckage.
