Army Won't Cross Picket Lines
Unless Forced, Conqress Told

(From Yesterdays Last Edition.
By the Associated Press.
The Army told Congress today ii
follows policy of not crossing picket
lines when it can obtain its property
in strikebound plants without taking
such action.
The explanation was made by Col
Foster L. Furphy to the House Mill
tary Committee, which is investi-
eating Army orders that it's trucks
must not cross picket lines in the
current meat strike.
One of the fundamental premises
on which the picket line policy is
based, Col. Furphy said, is that Sin
democracy, the military should not
be responsible for, or intervene in
the solution of civilian problems"
The colonel testified the policy
has worked we'll, and only in a few
cases has the Army actually used
physical force in strike, These
cases, he said, involved the use of
troops in the North American avia-
tion strike and the Philadelphia
transit strike.
Col. Furphy said the Army avoids
taking any action which might have
the effect of favoring either side in
a controversy. complicate the prob
lens of civilian agencies dealing
with the strikes or result in con-
flict between soldiers and civilians.
Generally, he said. agreements
can and have been reached between
management and labor to move
Army property from bound
plants. He added. however, that
if such agreements could not be
reached and there was an impera-

Army would not hesitate to use its
own personnel and trucks to gel
what it needs.
The order in the current meat

Chairman May and Representa-

from labor before obtaining it's owr

Mr.. May commented that Con-

Truman Asked 10 Ease
War Pilots 5 Sentence
By the Associated Press.

bs tne ASSOCIATED PreSS.
President Truman was asked yes
teroay to commute a court-martial
sentence given pilot from Missouri
for "swiping" an Army fighter plane
and getting captured by the Ger
mans-all without permission.
The request was made by Repre-
sentative Ploeser, Republican, OF
Missouri in behalf of Second 1t
Martin J. Monti of st. Louis County
An Army court-martial in Naples
Italy. Mr.. Ploeser said, sentenced
the 26-year -old officer on August 6
l945, to dismissal from the Army
loss of pay and Is years at hard labor
for "misappropriating" P-38 and
for being absent without official per-
mission.
Mr.. Ploeser said this is what hap
pened:
After being sent to India, 1t. Monti
desired to get into action and re-
turned to Italy, where come of his
former budies we're stationed. He
was accused of taking the P-3S from
an airf1eld without permission OF
commanding officer and flying to the
front lines.
Over the lines his motor was
knocked out by German fax and 1t
Monti bailed out. Captured by the
Germans, he finally managed to
escape.
This seems to be the case of an
impetuous young man who wanted
to fight for America" Mr.. Ploeser
wrote the President. Il certainly
do not contend that his actions
should be condoned, but I do en-
'phatically make the point that the
sentence of Is years seems to be
extreme. 1t was this very spirit in

for Chrysler Corp. and the CLIO
United Auto Workers will meet at
3 pm. today amid persistent reports
that the company has offered the
union an 1871 -cent-hourly wage in
crease retroactive to January /.
Although a company spokesman
termed the report "just another
rumor," it was recalled that negotia-
tors have been reported "close to-
gether' as result of this weeks
sessions.
While the Chrysler report raised
hopes OF the first major break in
the Nations wage disputes, another
auto manufacturer ceased assembly,

longed General Motors strike.

The Packard Motor Car Co. yes

Rouge plant due to the steel strike.
while another 25,000 are to be re-
leased next week. Ford employees
about 100000 workers.
The report on the Chrysler settle
ment cropped up simultaneously late
yesterday in Pittsburgh, Washington
and Detroit. and started speculation
that any such agreement would
hasten the end of the 66-day-old
GIN walkout.

1t has been expected generally
that Ford would be the first of the
autos big three" to settle with the
union.
The two are now only 2 cents apart
on the wage issue, with the union
offering to settle for a 1872 cent
hourly increase-a boost of about 16
