beckoning from Premier Stain, Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt will set out on a
lengthy tour of Russia soon after
the UNO spring meeting here is

Mrs. Roosevelt, who has been

courage with which she met all
Russian issues at London hopes that
her journey will help to serve better
understandings between the United
States and the U. S. S. r.
She will ask the Russians to let
her range over the lands which were
the German battle line so that she
can see for herself the devastation
wrought and better judge the tasks
which lie before her hosts when they
seek to rehabilitate their country
For the rest she will concentrate
on the problems of health, medicine
welfare, the care of children, and
the status of women, which have
been her chief concern at home
Probably these will be carefully con-

Roosevelt, however, has been max

James F. Dewey, special mediator
in the General Motors strike, was
summoned today by Secretary of
Labor Schwellenbach to meet with
him in Washington.
A Labor Department spokesman

report on the situation lin view
of the impasse" in Detroit negotia-
lions in the 106-day-old CLIO union
dispute with GIN.

noon session of the wage talks be-
tween the company and the United
Auto Workers, then board a plane
for Washington.
The conference with Mr.. Schwel-
lenbach will take place during the
evening. the Labor Department
spokesman said.
In Detroit, the union yesterday
charged its strike was a~'lockout"
after GIN repeated it's rejection Of
"a JAW proposal for arbitration of
unsettled issues.
The refusal Of the corporation
to arbitrate the issues - clearly
makes this strike a lockout" the
JAW said in a statement from
President R. j. Thomas. Secretary
George F. Adde's and Vice Presi-
dent Walter P. Reuther.
I'm today's session the union
again renewed its offer to arbitrate
which was again fatty rejected by
the corporation" the statement
said
Meanwhile, Mr. Dewey termed a
poll of 175.000 GIN workers, sug-
gested by both sides in different
proposals, "out of the picture for
the minute"
The corporations suggestion,
made at the time it refused arbitra-
ton, proposed that the National
Labor Relations Board or a similar
board conduct a strikers vote to
determine whether they wished to

setting out again
The second time we flew from
Anchorage to Juneau, where we
caught a Canadian boat to Seattle

We didn't fly the first time we left
