 l Manager Lou Boudreau. who went hitless in Johnny Sain's opening victory, led the Indians with a sparkling day afield and at bat. He double started two-run splurge in the fourth and he drove home the
 third run off Southpaw Warren Spahn in the fifth. He started one double play. was. in the middle of another, made fine catch of pop fly in short center and picked man off second.
 Lemon, accomplishing what his famous pitching mate. Bobby Teller. failed to do, came through with a series win in his first start because the Indians were able to handle |Spahn. Lemon, a 20-game winner in the regular season, struck out five men and walked three. The converted infielder who fail- ed the Indians twice ia the final weeks of the season, missed tying the series record for chances by pitcher. He handled chances 3 putouts and assists less than Nick .Altrock did for the Chicago White Sox back ill 1906. First Inning Run Time after time the hustling Braves nudged Lemon into a corner but he always escaped with whole skin after allowing first-inning run.

DETROIT, June 5.-To Walter
Reuther the recent General Motors

says, threatened economic paraly-
sis" Of the nation this summer.
Mr.. Reuther, recuperating from
gun wounds inflicted by an un-
known assailant April 20, expressed
himself at . press conference at his
home Friday.
The CIO United Auto Workers
Union, of which he Is president,
stipulated . Sunday release time for
accounts of the press conference.
Wearing = heavy body cast, khaki
shorts and shoes and wincing with
pain from his shattered arm, Mr..
Reuther gave these other views on
economic and political subjects:
/. The Ford Motor Co., which has
proposed wage cuts In forthcoming
bargaining with the UAW, cant
escape following either the GIN
cost-o living agreement or the fiat
l3-cent hourly increase given by

prices because of what 1t said were
higher labor and material costs.
Higher Prices Forecast.
2. The union hopes that price re-
.ductions within a year will prove
the Chrysler settlement more bene-
fetal to the worker than GINS new
agreement.
3. A big armament program, COM
bined with the European Recovery
Program and industry's itching for
still higher profits" will push prices
even higher and postpone a depres-
sion for several years at least.
4. The Republican Party must
accept full responsibility" for Con-
gress' failure to control prices and
must enact housing and fair employ
ment practice legislation and expand
social security.
5. President Truman's heart is
in, the right place but he is just
not adequate to meet the challenge"
6. Henry Wallace, Third Party
leader, daily becomes more OF

Calls Situation Serious.
Mr.. Reuther, pacing the floor
among reporters, pointed to recent
developments such as the Chrysler
strike, the abortive CIO meat pack
ers' strike, Ford's wage proposal,
and the steel and electric industries
hold-the-line wage policy. Then
said:

Mr.. Lewis bargaining tomorrow
with a large segment OF the coal
industry resulted from the injunc-
ton isued Friday by Justice T. Alan
iGoldsborough. The judge ordered
the UNIV and Mr.. Lewis to bargain
with the Southern Coal Producers
Association and its president, Joseph
E. Moody. Mr. Lewis previously
had expressed willingness to talk new
contract with the rest Of the coal
industry. All sections will be rep
resented tomorrow.
Mr.. Van Horn, the operators trus-
tee, has brought suit in District
Court to invalidate the Bridges plan
to pay s10O-monthly pensions to
miners 81 and older. Mr.. Lewis
already has asked dismissal Of the
suit, charging Mr.. Van Horn with
obstructing activities OF the l947
welfare fund.
1t was learned that the court clerk
has set hearing of the suit and
miners motion for June Is before
Justice Goldsborough.
UNIV Cites Pension Survey.
On the eve of reopening of con-
tract talks, the UNIV obtained sur
vey made to the operators March IL
by the Philadelphia firm OF Towers,
Perrin, Forster & Crosby, and used
it as basis for attacking the op-
orators statistical estimates on pen
Sions.
The union made public a memo
randum to Mr. Lewis oy Murray w.
Latimer, former chairman OF the
United States Railroad Retirement
Board. In IT, Mr.. Latimer compared
the operators March - survey with
a previous survey made by the same
company last Novembe: g.
Mr.. LatimCr said
l. That the company has changed
it's estimate of the pensions that can
be paid out of the welfare fund. Mr..
Latimer said that on November 6
the company suggested that, as a
transitional arrangement. pensions
of $50 beginning at age 10 might be
paid. They now conclude that 500
q month, inclusive of social security,
can be paid beginning at IS" ,on
2. That the second survey, trans
lated into plain English" means that
the company admits" that the ben
efits can be "98 per cent larger" than
was suggested in the first survey.
Says Errors Were Corrected.
3. That the first survey contained
errors ranging as high as. 1853 per
cent, which were corrected in the
second survey. For example, Mr.. Lat
inner said the company at first used
too-high total figure of 100000
soft-coal miners, and later dropped
this to 336,037.
4. That he, Mr.. Latimer, is more
convinced than ever that Mr..
Lewis's original pension demand
500 a month after so years of age
and 20 years service--can be sup
ported by the welfare fund as pre-
sently financed.
Mr.. Van Horn acknowledged the
existence of the March IL survey.
But he told a reporter:
Il haven't made it public. I don't
know how they got it. I would like
very much to know"
He refused to discuss Mr.. Lati-
mer's statements concerning the
survey, and would not discuss the
survey itself.

Senator Bridges, Republican, of New
Hampshire, who Is the neutral men,
ber of the three man board which
is supposed to administer the 1s47
fund.
Senator Bridges, 1t is known, voted
against a Lewis resolution in a re-
cent trustees meeting to have the
1947 fund absorb the commitments
which the 1916 fund is unable to
meet. AS result, the Senator was
subjected along with Ezra Van
Horn, the operators trustee who
voted with him. to long verbal de-
nunciation by Mr. Lewis. The scene
took place in session attended only
by the three trustees and w. L. P.
Burke, the board counsel
After Mr.. Lewis resolution was
defeated, Senator Bridges offered
one which was passed, calling for a
survey of the cost of assuming the
obliga tions as requested by the
UNIV president.
In another meeting just last
Thursday - also unrepOrted - Mr..
Lewis again failed to carry his point.
Once more he was bitter in his
comment to Senator Bridges and
Mr.. Van Horn.
At the last trustees meeting, Mr..
Lewis revealed some figures as to
the cost of the liabilities assumed by
the 1916 fund raised during Govern
nent mine operation.
Says Benefits Were Approved.
1t Is understood that he said that
distress benefits totaling $35, ,O00, 900
had been approved, while total death
benefits had reached $7,000,000.
That would leave nearly $4,000 =
900 to be paid out of the now-frozen
l947 fund.
Distress claims. it was learned,
from miners and dependents are
coming in at the rate of 5000 a
month.
The cost of the distress and death
benefits alone now is running at the
rate of about $l,l50.000 week. The
figure was arrived at by taking Mr..
Lewis late May statement that
only S.. 100 900 remained of the 1916
fund and that it would last about
five weeks.
Would Take Entire Fund.
The entire fund raised by a To-
cent per ton royalty on all coal pro-
duced would be required to take

provided the rate of outlay remains
at the 81 l,150,000 per week rate. The

that he believes well be back in
negotiations before any strike can
come on"
The union president said the
workers demanded = 30-cents-an-
hour increase. He would not dis
close what management offered.
I'VE made an agreement not to
make the details public" he said.
About IA persons representing six
locals OF the union, with = man.
power of about 1900 workers, were
present at the talks here for the
last two weeks.
Possible Strike Votes.
Mr.. Buckmaster said 1t Is possible
that the local leaders have gone
home to take strike votes. Il didn't
order any strike votes" he added.
Asked If he had talked over any
plans with local leaders, Mr.. Buck
master said, mo comment" He
said representatives Of Goodrich
have gone back to Akron.
Mr.. Buckmaster said that under
the Taft-Hartley Act, no strike is
permissible before July II at the
end Of the 60-day cooling off,
period.
He said he is continuing contract
talks with representatives of Good
year and Firestone Rubber COM
panies at Cleveland and with U. s.
Rubber Co. at New York.

There is natural reluctance"
he said, ION the part of the big
companies to being the first to
agree to wage increases"
At Akron, a Goodrich spokes-
man reported the firm had offered
the rubber workers an Scent hourly
wage increase.
This he said, would increase
Goodrich employees average rate
to about $l63 an hour, or equal to
the average earnings received by
the CIO-United Auto Workers in
their new agreement with the Gen.
eral Motors Corp.

Akron Goodrich local, said unionists
had offered to settle with the COM
pany under either of these plans:

of one year, with wages to be frozen
for the life of the agreement: or
g, A pay boost of IL cents an

ing an "escalator" wage clause
similar 10 that in the General
Motors agreement, which would
gear pay scales to later changes in
the cost Of living.

ment that the Akron local, which
numbers more than 10000 members,
would hold a mass meeting at the
rubber city tomorrow to prepare
