DETROIT, May THE CIO
United Auto Workers, having
quit the barga ming table with
a bitter blast at Chrysler Corp,
pushed ahead today with plans
for strike they now call "in-
evitable."

Of bringing the disputing parties to-

Chrysler to be in hopeless dead

In a formal statement, Norman
Matthews, director Of the UAW's S

change their position.
Demands 30-Cent Raise.
The UAW has demanded a &c
cents an hour wage raise in addi-

Chrysler countered this with a 6.
cent offer which was withdrawn
after the union rejected it. The
present average scale is $3.50 fol

One possible legal barrier re-
manned in the path of the UAW
Michigan's Bonine Trip law. Unde,
terms of the law employees must
take a strike vote before staging
a walkout in Michigan.
However, the UAW has argued
THAT since Chrysler has plants in

Mr.. Matthews said in connection
with the breakup in negotiations:
1T is up to the corporation tc

u. S. Still Presses Effort
For Peace in Palestine =

American effort to end bloodshed
in Palestine continued today despite
long series of setbacks that left
little apparent chance for success
President Truman emphasized at
news conference late yesterday
that every possible effort still is
being made through the United Ma
tons to settle the crisis.
Mr. Truman's comment was oc-
"asioned by the report of a Jewish
and Arab rebuff to a dramatic new
American peace-making attempt.
This was four-point proposal
put forward informally by American
representatives at the United Ma
tions in New York. where Palestine
negotiations have been centered for
months.
Special Plane Offered.
The major point was that PreSi-
dent Truman would provide a spe-
cial plane to rush Arab, Jewish and
United Nations representatives tc
Palestine to try to negotiate a pro-
longed truce and report back to the
U. N. after 10 days.
1t was proposed that during the
Today period the special Palestine
session Of the U. N. Assembly be
suspended, the Jews and Arabs stop
the fighting for the negotiations and
that the British agree to extend
their mandate from May Is tc
May 25.
officials said the Jews rejected the
proposition Tuesday night and the
Arabs turned it down early yester.
day. The British said they woulo
see what could be done If the Jews
and Arabs did agree. but that Par.
lament had decided the mandate
must be Surrendered May Is.
