|ChrysIer and Union
Disagree on Chance
|0f Quick Settlement
BY the Associoted Press

DETROIT, May 1.-Chrysler's
general manager said today only
technical wording of a new con-
tract is holding up settlement Of
the 97-day Chrysler strike, but the
CIO- United Auto Workers dis
puted this.
There are still unreSolved
issues" the union said in a state
ment.
Herman L. Weckler, Chryslel
vice president and general mana
ger. indicated only minutes before
that a general agreement hac
been reached.
Mr.. Weckler indicated the com.
pany and the UAW have agreed
on general terms of contract
which provides $100 monthly pen
sions, including Federal social Sc
curity.
Weary negotiators doggedly
stuck to contract drafting as theil
record breaking nonstop bargain
ing session passed the 45-houl
mark. They started the current
continuous peace session at pm
(EST Saturday.
Mr.. Weckler issued the follow
ing statement, after Federal and
State mediators told newsmen
Were going to push it right or
through:
Assuming that the UAW stands
by its verbal agreements on issues
that have been discussed over and
over again during the months of
the strike. apparently the thing
that is taking time now is Ian
guage.
Going over the language OF
the proposed contract does take
time for discussion. .
THAT apears to be the UAW's
reason for the current delay in
ending the strike. We are not
in a position to say more than
that at the moment"
Waiting for news Of a settle
ment were $4,000 members of the
CIO-United Auto Workers who
struck Chrysler Corp. January Is
About $4,000 workers in supplie1
plants made idle by the strike also
were hoping a back to- work call
was not too far off.
The strike is the second longest
and costliest on record in the cal
industry. Experts have estimated
its cost at a billion and a quarter
dollars.

ton of BuSinesSmen'S ASsocia-
tions already has expressed con-
cern over the matter and has ap-
pointed a special investigating
committee. They feel that such
activities could hurt their busi-
nesses seriously.
Also a number of members of
Congress soon may make an issue
of it.
The situation also has drawn
the attention of the Federal Rec
Ireation Committee. While COM
mittee officials say that some of
the cut-rate deals offered Gov
ernment employees are legitimate
enough, they also say that others
aren't. According to committee
officials, some so-called dealers
have their Offices in their hats"
and offer dubious bargains to
Government employees. AS mat
ter of fact. the officers say that
some deals are definitely on the
shady side.
Most of the purchases are ar
ranged through the individual
employe clubs in the agencies.
The Federal Recreation Commit
tee has done good job in screen
ing dubious deals offered to Fed
eral employees.

GAO - The longtime career
employees in the General Account
ing Office who have suffered sharp
downgradings have appealed to
the Civil Service Commission to
investigate. But the commission
has turned a deaf ear.
Many of the employees have as
much as Is to 80 years of service.
yet they have been downgraded
in salary by two or three grades.
The employees contend that veter-
ans with only a few years service
have not been touched and they
sought to appeal to the commits
sion. The commission, however,
says that it is a GAO admins
trative matter, and that the COM
mission has no jurisdiction.
Meanwhile the employees in
volved declare that morale at
GAO has suffered greatly.
TRAINING PROGRAM The
Civil Service Commission has an
nounced its second annual junior
management inferno program
which is designed to select and
train rank and-f1le Federal en-
ployes for executive jobs in the
Government.
Federal agencies have until
July IA to nominate candidates
for the program. About 80 per-
sons will be selected.
Only Federal employees who are
in grade GS-7 or lower are ell
gible for nomination. In addi-
ton. employees must have had
four years of college education or
two years of Federal service, or
combination of both. Employees
may obtain additional information
at their agency personnel Offices.

The Coop
Corner

Recent surveys OF economic
concentration, stepped up to a
terrific pace since 1945, show
that our chances, as individuals,
OF becoming owners of the marts
OF trade today are mighty slim.
More and more we find each
major industry and service be-
ing completely dominated by
three or four big corporations.
That condition, of course, means
monopoly.
On most Of our basic neces-
sites, we are forced 10 pay mon
opoly prices whether we like 1t
or not. 1t Is a fact that free and
unfettered competition has been
dead In America for over fifteen
years.
Against such strong groups set
up for price gouging and exces-
sive profits, the individual again
has absolutely no recourse. But
in cooperative groups, the story
can be different. Toledo Con-
sumers Cooperative Inc. Is such
a group and is working now to
set up Its own distri b u n
centers for members In the To-
ledo area. Products to be dis
tributed thru Its coming super
market include groceries, pro-
duce, appliances, hardware, and
gas and oil for automobiles. Ad-
ditional members are needed to
help speed up this operation.
