But Genyns mind was far away

Negotiations between the Ford
Motor Co. and the UAW-CIO will

the nationwide steel strike.

cent pay boost recommended by
President Trumans fact-fnding
panel.
r. J. Thomas. JAW president,
warned that the union would re-

cent pay hike unless the proposal
were agreed upon by today. GM
has spurned the compromise.
2-CENT DIFFERENCE
A 2-cent difference in hourly
rates kept the union and company
deadlocked when Ford negotia-
tions ended Friday. The unions
demand was 1912 cents.

Pdr|ey Called
In DSR Dispute
Mayor to Confer
on Answer 10 OPA

Mayor Jeffries planned to con-
Ter with the DSR commissioners
today before he replies further to
the OPA in the feud over higher
Streetcar fares.
The OPA requested that the
recent fare increase To 10 cents
be reduced to a rate of four tok-
ems Tor % cents, or 80 cents at
the top.
Jeffries termed the OPA report
a smear campaign deliberately
and viciously aimed TO SOW dis
content in the minds of Detroit
erS" OPA held that the fare
boost IS "a needless burden on the
riders.
FARE CALLED HIGHEST
OPA reported that as result
OF the fare increase:
. Detroit car riders are paying
the highest fares in the country.
. Detroit car riders are helping
10 finance 'nebulous" DSR ex-
panslon program which is not
wholly chargeable to the public.
o The increase may tend 10
wreck the street railway system
by driving customers 10 find
other forms of transportation.
