Ching Goes 10 Detroit
In Advisory Role in
.ChrysIer Strike Threat
By the Associated Press

DETROIT, May 8.-One of the
Nations top-f1ight labor trouble
shooters looked in today on efforts
to avert a scheduled Wednesday
strike of $4,000 Chrysler Corp. auto
workers.
Cyrus S. Ching, director of the
Federal Mediation and Cancellation
Service, described his part as lust
IAN advisory role" as he met with
two subordinates to, obtain late re-
ports on efforts to mead of the
strike.
Federal conciliators planned sep
arate meetings with officials Of
Chrysler and the CIO United Auto
Workers today, but there were no
indications whether Mr.. Ching
would attend.
The Detroit area Federal media
tors indicated they would try to ar
range joint meeting with the COM
pay and union, if results of the
separate sessions were favorable.
Mr.. Ching, who termed his visit
here purely social and of no sig
nificance," said he would go on to
Chicago late today to fulfill several
speaking engagements.
He arrived here yesterday. One
of the items on his busy days
schedule was visit to Walter P.
Reuther, UAW president, recover
ing in a Detroit hospital from gun
shot wounds suffered two weeks ago
when an assailant shot him at his
! home.
Even as the Federal conciliators
stepped up their activity in the sit
uation, neither Chrysler nor the
UAW showed any signs of budging
from their present position.
/ Negotiations on the JAWS de-
mand for a 30-cent hourly wage in
crease from Chrysler were broken
off by the union Thursday with an
assertion that they were ''hopelessly
deadlocked." The current average
hourly pay rate for Chrysler pro-
duction workers is $150.
Ironically, an estimated 10000
Chrysler workers are out Of work
until Tuesday because of a shortage

House Bill 10 Repeal
tobacco Export Ban
Linked 10 0Ieo Fight
By the Associated Press

Tobacco was getting mixed into
the oleo-butter battle in Congress
today.
The House has passed a marga-
rine tax repeal bill. But it faced
a new oleo controversy over plans
to repeal a ban on exports of to-
bacco seed and plants.
Representative August H. Andre
sen. Republican, of Minnesota said
hearings by his House Agriculture
Subcommittee on that matter today
had nothing to do with oleo.
But some Southern Congressman
termed his move spite tactics to
get even with those who opposed
his unsuccessful drive to halt the
oleo tax repeal.
Andersen Denies Revenge Aims.
Mr.. Andersen denied any re
venge" aims. He said the tobacco
bill was written last year by Repre-
sentative Murray, Republican, of
Wisconsin, who has been pressing
for action on 1t.
The Minnesotan said Southern
tobacco growers persuaded Congress
to BAN the seed and plant exports
in 1910 80 they could stop foreign
countries from growing tobacco"
But Representative Poage, Demo-
crat, of Texas, told a reporter
Andersen just wants to take out
spite on those who opposed him in
the oleo fight"

Mr.. Hughes gave the impression
that he wasn't afraid of reporters
questions. But at the same time ii
was amazing how little they ques-
toned or ross-questioned him. This
was because he anticipated their
inquiries and gave them so much

there was little to ask when he fin

This sort of handling of the press

local affairs, save in the case Of the

This Changing World
Desertion of Yugoslav ENJOYS Here
Indicates Tension Over Tito Rule

Ambassador Kosanovich is said to
have been acquainted with the plans
Of his aides to desert Tito's service,
but since Dragila controlled the
secret police in the embassy, there
was nothing he could do to prevent
the exodus.
Indication of Tension.
These desertions of formerly
fanatical Tito men from diplomatic
missions both in the United States
and other countries is good indi-
cation of the tension which exists
in the ranks of the Yugoslav Com
munists.
Tito Is making desperate efforts
to maintain his position by catering
to the nationalist feeling of the men
whom he has ruled with an iron
hand in the past.
Through his propaganda services
he is endeavoring to convince the
rank and file of party members that
he has never abandoned true Com
munist doctrines, but that antagon-
ism toward him in the Cominform
was caused by his desire to main
tain Yugoslavias national inde-
pendence.
These arguments are said to have
little effect on some 80 per cent OF
the population which has been re-
duced to slavery by the totalitarian-
ism introduced by Tito. The other
20 per cent-the privileged members
Of the party and their hangers -on
are divided, not knowing where to
turn.
Some are still loyal to the one
time darling Of Moscow and hope
that by. some means or other he
will patch up affairs with Prime
Minister Stain and return to his
top position again. Others see an
opportunity for self-advancement by
espousing the anti-Tito movement
and, being conversant with the
methods of the Kremlin, expect
their former leaders to be purged
at any time.
These people, who now comprise
the new Cominform underground in
Yugoslavia, are striving for open
rebellion against the present regime
and are participating in the at
tempts to assassinate the man who
has been described as the Com
munist Hermann Goering," because
of his love of uniforms and high
living.

Casual observation indicates
considerable majority are prepared
to support Mr.. Truman and to do all
possible to aid his campaign. Many
of the big unions are already well
organized for political activity. They
have got or are getting their men,
bers registered and are telling them
to vote for Mr.. Truman. An even
greater number are hammering per-
sistently on the need to defeat any
member of Congress who supported

he believed in preparing for press

permit direct quotation, but he
rarely had the experience of finding
an article that did not emphasize

was master Of the art of public
relations, but there was nothing
artful or clever about it. The
method was one of simplicity and
utter candor

might adopt the same approach.
But then they would have to learn

which, with all its defects, still is
the main safeguard of freedom in
