Ford Denies Report
OF 1S4-Cent Offer
To Auto Workers
BY the Associated Press.

by the hSsOCldIeu TIeSs.
DETROIT, Jan. 22.-The Detroit
News said today that the Ford Mo-
tor Co. will offer the CLIO United
Auto Workers another wage increase
shortly which is expected to set a
formula for the settlement of the
wage disputes now gripping the Ma
ton.
The newspaper said high company
and union sources said the new Of
fer would probably be 1872 cents an
hour, paralleling President Tru-
mans recommendations in the steel
dispute.
Ford's latest offer to the union was
l7a cents an hour. while the JAW
has been holding out for 1872 cents
Ford and union negotiations were
scheduled to be resumed today.
Ford denied the reported new
offer in statement which said;
The rumor that the Ford Motto,
Co. will offer the UAW-CIO an
other wage proposal has no basis
of fact. The company's position is
still that the offer of 17i2 is most
substantial"
A union spokesman commented
that the story was mere specula-
ton"
Meanwhile, General Motors said
it was standing on its previous re-
lection of the unions offer to accept
1872 cents increase, or l7la pei
cent, despite its original demand Of
30 per cent.
The UAW-CIO was believed map
ping further strategy today in view
of General Motors refusal to accept
the compromise proposal
The deadline for GINS acceptance
of the smaller figure, recommended
by presidential fact-fnding board
was set by the union for midnight
last night.
A union spokesman limited that
further measures would be taker
aimed at bringing the company te
terms and ending the strike of 49,
900 production workers now going
into its third month.
A decision will be made "in a day
or two" the spokesman said. on {
proposal calling on some $500 UAW
tool and die makers to stop work or
all materials intended for GIN.

House Unit Approves
Sugar Subsidy; Holds
Up Action on Meat
Py the Associated Press.

Es Inc hsSOClhIeu FIeSs.
The House Banking Committee
late yesterday approved continual
ton of subsidies on the sugar crop
from Hawaii and Puerto Rico until
June 30, 1916, but postponed action
on other subsidy proposals.
The committee put aside proposals
to substitute meat, almost at the
same time that President Truman
was recommending to Congress that
food subsidies be continued during
the year beginning July l. The
President said he requested the
funds in order to combat imitation
and to try to avert a possible 8 per
cent increase in the cost of living
index for food.
Asked if the matter of removing
agricultural subsidies was under
consideration, Undersecretary of
Agriculture j. B. Hutson replied it
was being studied but it was not
considered desirable to bring the
matter up at the moment.
Mr.. Hutson said a schedule for
termination Of subsidies was being
reconsidered. TT had been expected
that large supplies would result in a
decline in prices, but that has not
developed" he said.
The decision to bypass subsidies
on meat, -four, butter and petroleum
products followed questions by Rep
resentative Wolcott, Republican, of
Michigan as to the ability of pack
ers to pay increased wages.
The postponement was agreeable
to the RFC, which operates a subsi-
died tin smelter with committee
approval, and to Undersecretary
Hutson.
The committee was told it would
take about $4,000 900 for the sugar
subsidy for Hawaii and $4,000 900
for Puerto Rico, which would repre-
sent an approximate subsidy of 81 40
per 100 pounds of refined sugar. The
total crop is expected to be 800 900
tons

Rift Between Truman
And Congress Not
Serious, Barley Say,
By the Associated Press.


MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Jan. 22.-No
Serious rift" exists between Presi-
dent Truman and Congress despite
opposition of many lawmakers to the
Presidents domestic proposals, Ma
jority Leader Barley said in an in
terview here yesterday.
There is nothing basic about the
rift between the President and Con-
gress," the Senator declared.
II don't think it is as large a rift
as the country is led to believe. Mr.
Truman was in the Senate 10 years
and he knows the Senate and the
Senate knows him.
Il see no reason why they cannot
work out solution to their prob
lens with reasonable promptness
and effectiveness in the near fu-
ture"
Senator Barley chided Southern
Democrats for using filibuster tc
oppose the Fair Employment Prac-
tees Commission and said he in
tended to vote for it.
I'm hoping the Senate will find
a way to vote promptly on the
question" he added. with all the
problems now facing this country
the Senate does not add to its
standing by futile reading of the
journal or a meticulous examina-
ton of the phraseology of the chap
lain's prayer"
Senator Barley said he had been
so busy as chairman of the Pearl
Harbor Investigating Committee
that he had not had time to ap-
pear on the Senate floor and was
not in position to know how long
the f1libuster might last.
He predicted the Pearl Hearbor
Committee would wind up its hear
ing by February Is.

Transit Strike Threat
Averted in New York;
Union Wins Demand
Py the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Threat Of
city-wide transit strike-whicf
would have halted virtually all OF
New York's transportation facilities
was removed yesterday when
Mayor William O'Dwyer agreed tc
union demand that-three subway
powerhouses not be sold without a
public referendum.
Decision to halt the proposed
walkout Of the men who operate
the city's subways, elevated trains
and buses, came after Mayor
ODwyer conferred with City Coun-
Gilman Michael J. Quill, president
'of the CLIO Transport Workers
Union, and then told newsmen:
THE matter of disposing of the
power plants has not come officially
before me. II and when it does, it
will not receive my approval unless
and until the people of the city
have vote on the matter.
Will Seek Referendum.
IF there is no provision Of law
at the. present time for such a
referendum, I will seek such right"
Mr.. Quill had threatened the
strike of $4,000 workers if the city
sold three of its power plants to the
Consolidated Edison Co. without a
referendum and had set 7 O'Clock
last night as the deadline for a re-
ply.
The Mayors statement came a few
hours before the zero hour" At
o'clock Mr.. Quill announced in a
radio address that the unions men,
bers will stay on their jobs and will
carry out their appointed duties as
they have in the past"
Strike Planned for Today.
Mr.. Quill later revealed he had
planned to call the strike for 8 am.
today.
He said at news conference
however. that the union expected to
open negotiations with the Board
of Transportation this week for a
S2-a-day wage increase and a union
shop in compliance with the Mayor
instructions"
Mr.. Quill had maintained it would
cost the city 100000 a year more
to buy electric power than to gener-
ate 1t. The Board of Transportation
said cost of undermining the plants
would be prohibitive and estimated
that such cost would range from
SIS 900 900 to S104, 900 900.
