Reuther on Policy by
Substantial Margin
By the Assoeioted Press

CHICAGO, April 2O-The CIO
United Auto Workers Executive
Board, overriding Union President
Walter p Reuther, yesterday adopt
ed "by a substantial majority" new
policy declaring company profits
must not be a deciding factor in
union wage demands.
The policy statement, a virtual
reputation of Mr.. Reuther's stand
during the recent General Motors
strike, was drawn up by Vice Presi-
dents r. J. Thomas and Richard T.
Leonard, and Secretary Treasurer
George F. Adde's.
Mr.. Reuther told reporters he
voted against the new policy, saying
the portions with which he disagreed
were "carryover from the heat of
the convention"
Adopted by Large Majority.
He said the recommendations were
adopted by "a substantial majority
of the 22-man Executive Board, al
though adoption would not reflect
the political grouping of the board
He did not elaborate, but added he
would accept and carry out the will
of the majority"
During the General Motors strike
Mr.. Reuther, then UAW vice presi-
dent and head of the unions GIN
division, partly based demands fol
increases in wages on what he called
the corporations ability to meet
wage increases.
No Major Changes Made.
The Thomas s-Addes-Leonard pro-
posal passed with no changes of any
Importance, Mr.. Reuther said, ex-
cept with the addition of a clause
declaring that if price controls were
removed, the union would force re-
opening of wage issues where it now
was bound by contract.
The policy statement adopted
called for more closely co-ordinateo
union strategy, increased effort tt
achieve annual wage guarantees fol
auto workers and creation of a per.
manent international wage and con.
tract policy committee to replace
the Strike Strategy Committee.
