Long Steel Strike Delay
May Force Showdown
Between UAW, Ford
By tho Asseeioted Press

MILWAUKEE,, Wis. July II
A 60-day steel strike postpone
ment undoubtedly would force the
hand of the CIO United Auto
Workers in their threat to strike
the Ford Motor Co.
That's what a man-in-the-
street pool among delegates at the
UAW convention here would show.
Many of them figure long

quick showdown in the auto work.
ers' attempts to win their first big
pension plan from Ford. This is
based on the theory that the rank
and file workers could not be kept
pacified for two months after the
contract expires.
Concern over the impending
Ford-UAW battle in Detroit
switched much of the convention
delegates attention away from
what is going on here-such as
UAW President Walter Reuther's
winning absolute control OF the
unions Executive Board.
Contract Expires Tomorrow.
The Ford contract expires to-
morrow. The union has agreed
to extend it on day-to-day basis
for an undisclosed period beyond
then. This had led to specula-
ton that the auto workers would
let another CIO union-the steel
workers-carry the ball this year.
Mr.. Reuther and other UAW
leaders never denied that this had
been their strategy. Neither would
they deny that their strategy
might have to be revised in light
of steel developments in Pitts
burgh.
One union spokesman said the
auto workers never would put all
their eggs in the steel basket"
But he pointed out that overall
CIO strategy always is "co-or-
dinated"-as Mr.. Reuther himself
noted to reporters here a few
days ago.
Mr.. Ford and the UAW have
been negotiating since June 2 on
the unions demands for S10o-
a-month pension. a welfare plan
and an unannounced wage in
crease. Little progress has been
reported out Of Detroit.
Solid Backing for Reuther.
Henry Ford, I'd, returning +, ,cm
a European trip. said IN New
York yesterday that wage in
crease for auto workers would be
q great mistake.
Were going to be in buyers
market this fall and we can't keep
prices down if wages go up," he
said.
One thing is certain: What
ever bargaining strategy Reuther
favors will have the solid backing
of the rest of JAWS top leader
ship. The last vestiges of anti
Reutherism on the unions Execu-
tive Board were wiped out yester-
day in elections of 19 regional di-

rectors. These men, together with
the four top officers. make up the
23-man UAW Executive Board.
Sixteen Reuther-backed lncum-
bents were reelected, 10 of them
by acclamation. In addition. the
administration forces elected
their candidates in Regions 2 and
