The attack. written by Common

in its truth and in the deep reality
Of its purposes.
.Marinin said President Truman
is incapable of hardening to the
voice of fact" and is following q
policy dictated by warmongers.
This policy is one Of artificially
playing on nerves, poisoning the
International atmosphere and

Mr.. Martin said in his offer of

ers damned polling areas and
temporarily blocked traffic near
the Dearborn Rouge plant as a
State-conducted strike vote began
today.
Officials of the State Labor
Mediation Board estimated 1000
out of 10000 Rouge employees had
voted within the first two hours.
Some lines from the Is voting
booths extended for a block. Cars
damned the area. Dix avenue was
snarled' by a traffic jam for 20
minutes.
Shuttle Service Operated.
Ford Local 600 ran a shuttle
service from the Rouge plant to
the polls, using six buses.
Despite the crowds the vote was
orderly.
Voters will decide whether
they'll authorize their officers in
the CLIO United Auto Workers to
call strike. Authorization does
not necessarily mean a strike will
occur.
Michigan's Bonine-Tripp labor
law requires the vote which State
Labor Mediation Board Chairman
Noel F. Fox said would take three
days.
Over the week end. both COM
,pany and union made public ap-
peals to the workers.
Henry Ford II. in a full-page
newspaper advertisement. carried
in Sunday papers here, urged al
his firms employees to vote.
He also asked them to consider
the company's aim Ito keep the
greatest possible number of people
at work at present high rates-not
much smaller number at higher
rates"

President Walter P. Reuther OF
the JAW called on union men,
bers to vote for action enforcing
demands for $100-a-month PEN
sions, health and welfare bene-
fits and an hourly wage increase.
The site of the strike balloting
was a major issue between the two
sides. Ford offered its plant prop
erty for the purpose, and objected
when the mediation board decided
to have Rouge and Lincoln plant
workers vote at spot near their
union headquarters.
