|UAW 10 Act Today
In Borg-Warner Strike
By the Associated Press

DETROIT. Oct. 27.-A decision
on ending. modifying or continu-
ing the strike against 10 Borg
Warner Corp. plants in five States
was put off until today by the
CIO United Auto Workers.
A spokesman told neWsmen that
some statement" could be eX-
pected today on decision from
the Policy Committee of the
unions international Executive
Board.
Meanwhile, the union was in
directly rebuked by President Tru-
man for not returning to work.
The committee debated all day
yesterday a second request OF
the Wage Sterilization Board
that workers be ordered back to
the plants during the WSB's at
tempts to settle the dispute which
brought on the walkout October
8, idling $500 workers.
The UAW called a strike to sup
port its demands for a company
wide. instead of plant by plant
contract. The company claiming
its various divisions are autono-
nous refused to bargain on an
overall contract.
President Walter Reuther of the
UAW rejected the WSB's original
ack-to-Work request, challenging
a Government claim that more
than IS per cent of Borg Warmers
production was going into defense
production.
Mr.. Truman'S rebuke came IN a
letter yesterday to Nathan Fem
singer, WSB chairman. The Pres
ident wrote:
In times such as these, the par
ties to labor disputes owe it to the
American people to make every
effort to reach settlement
through collective bargaining and,
that failing, to cooperate With
their Government in maintaining
or restoring production while their
dispute is before the board"

BY Stoff espondent OF the North
Americon Newspaper Allionce

The Iranion oil crisis rapidly Is
reaching solution, it was learned
today, on the following basis:
Prime Minister Mohammed Mos
sadegh's government is negotiat-
ing a long term selling -distribu-
tive agreement with the Royal
Dutch Shell Corp. for period oil
between 25 to 80 years.
The agreement contemplates
an incentive price to the Shell
company and contains a reserva-
ton by the Iranian government
of about Is to 80 per cent of the
oil to market as the Teheran gov
ernment sees At. The Shell COM
pany would contract for the major
part of the oil production but
would not obtain a sales monopoly
The negotiations have reached
an advanced stage, with only the
price remaining to be settled.
The proposal of the Shell Ira
nian contract, recommended by
Samuel Nikasian, Washington at
torney. former ECA oil-pricing
chief and currently adviser to the
Iranlan government, was accepta
BILE to Teheran as early as last
July. but was turned down by
London. The seizure of Abadan
however. which made the nation
alization of Iranian oil de facto
has greatly altered the diplo-
matte aspects of the problem
London's assent to the Shell con-
tract would be a requisite to its
consummation. but informed cir
cles believed that London would
accede to Washington's anxiety
and give reluctant consent.
AS to actual producing opera
tions, the Iranian government has
indicated that it would not re-
tain oil companies, as such, tc
conduct the management of Aba
dan and its nationalized oil in
duStry. 1t insisted that the en-
ployment must be direct by the
1ranian government.
1t has no objection. however
to British technicians, and 1t
seems highly probable that former
Anglo -Iranian Oil Co. executives
will be offered long term employ
ment contracts. There is some
talk of importing Czech oil tech
nicians also.
In curious twist, Prime Min
lister Mossadegh's government
feels that the actual seizure OF
Abadan removed the last obstacle
to negotiation. It's sole condi-
ton is that it will not be re-
turned to the Anglo -Iranian Oil
Co., as such.
The Iranian government also is
considering second type OF
agreement, but at present heavily
favors the one with Shell alone
The other type of settlement being
considered is the creation of an
international marketing company
with Shell, Anglo -Iranian and
Standard-Vacuum, an American
company. as equal participants.
The International marketing
company would function as Trans
marketing agent under these
terms: The international company
would be required to contract for
10 per cent of Trans oil. fob
Iran, at an incentive price. for a
25-year period. The Iranian gov
ernment would reserve the right
to market the rest as it deems fit
The Shell deal, however, is
favored by the Iranian govern
ment, because Shell already is
Abadan's largest user. Most Of
the huge refinery's product al.
ready is used east of Suez, in the
