UAWRejectsFordP|an
10 Erase lnequities'
In Wage Contract
By the Assoeiofed Press

DETROIT, June 22.-Emil Macy
acting president of the CIO United
Auto Workers, made 1t clear today
the Ford Motor Co.'S proposal fol
an uneven wage boost was not
acceptable to the union.
The UAW objects to the Ford
formula which would add IA cents
to the hourly pay of workers making
more than $3.50 an hour and II
cents to the wages of those earning
less, Mr.. Macy said last night at
Grand Rapids where he is attend
ing a Michigan CIO convention.
John s. Bugas, Ford industrial
relations director who announced
the offer yesterday, had suggested
1t would erase many Of the in
equities In our present wage
structure"
However, MFR. Macy declared the
proposal does not meet our require
ments.
Flat Rate Asked.
The union will insist on fiat
rate for all workers, with adjust
ment of ineQuities," he added.
He also said the Ford offer con-
tanned two points to which we
could not agree.
"One Is the attempt by the COM
pany to broaden the incentive pay
system" Mr.. Macy went on. The
other involves the effort of the
company to water down overtime
benefits"
Premium Pay Request.
The Ford offer also included re-
vision Of overtime and premium pay
provisions of the present contract,
which 1t asked extended to July Is,
1850.
Negotiations between Ford and the
auto union are recessed until to-
morrow morning.
The union had demanded 30
cent hourly wage increase for 10000
Ford production workers. 1t has set
tied with Chrysler Corp. and several
auto firms for. q 13-cent hourly
raise, and accepted an ll-cent ad-
Unstable increase from General Mo-
tors.

! LEVITY-The staid Civil Service
Commission, which always phrases
its press releases In the most formal
way it knows how, became playful
for a moment in reporting the results

LOST IN SHUTTLE - Several
worthwhile Government employees
bills failed of enactment In the clos
ing hours Of Congress-
Perhaps the most important one
was the bill that would have in
creased the per diem travel allow
ances Of Government employees from
the present $6 rate to So a day.
The measure nearly passed, and
that is what makes its failure so
hard to take. After being approved
by the Senate. it was blocked for
many months In the House Execu-
time Expenditures Committee. Then,
at the last minute, the House group
approved it. But by that time there
wasn't enough time left to persuade
the House leadership to bring up
the bill.
Another bill that got lost in the
last minute shuttle was the one to
give permanent firing authority to
the Governments military agencies
in cases involving employees who
are considered pQor security risks.
These agencies, however, still have
their temporary authority in these
cases.
And the measure to permit former
Government workers with less than
20 years of service to withdraw
their retirement money died in the
House Civil Service Committee.
OF course. all these bills can be
revived If Congress returns for a
special session before January. 9th
erwise. they will have to go through
the legislative mill all over again.

Edward Hester, reputedly a num-
bers king at the Ford Rouge plant
here, was arrested last week and
released on bonds of $1,000.
Hester, who is a committeeman
for the United Automobile Work
ers CLIO union in the production
foundry, was charged with offer
ing brides for protection of his
racket, according to Police Chief
Ralph B. Guy of Dearborn.
According to Guy, Hester is
one of five operators of a vast
mutuels racket which takes in
$40, 1000, 900 a year. Run through
the vast Ford plant, the mutuels
are a kind of pool gambling based
on such numbers as stock market
sales, government balances and
sports totals.
Winners win at odds of 500 to
1 with bets Of a penny to a dollar
if they hit the last three numbers
in exact sequence.
According to the police chief,
Hester offered to pay $4,000 to
5000 a month protection for his
mutuels games. Hester said, at
would be worth $4,000 a year
to have the mayor, the police
chief and the vice squad let me

In what position are Ohio wo-
wen to meet family needs?
Though wives and mothers in

The answer, broadly speaking
is NO.
Women make a tremendous SER

even though they work outside the
homefi the responsibility for house
hold management and a great
deal of the homework falls on
them. This is shown clearly in
reports from families with male
reads in which the wife or moth

detailed information on household
management.
Women in Ohio who must take
jobs in order to help their fam
lilies and support themselves find
that clerical work of one kind OF
another offers the widest field OF
employment. Positions for gener.
al office clerks, typists lead all
other kinds followed by those fol
bookkeepers, operators, and sec.

Positions in domestic and per
