in committee work of the confer
ence for the first time since it
convened last week, argued that
rejection of the United Nations
resolution would be construed by
Moscow propagandists as a call
on the United States to stop fight
ing aggression In Korea and aid
ing Western Europe's defense.
AS originally sponsored by the
United States and five Latin
American nations. the controyer-
sial resolution would have recon-
mended that each of the Amer
|ican Republics maintain elements
within its national armed forces
lso trained, organized and equipped
that they could be made avail
able promptly for Western Hemi-
sphere defense and "for service
in support Of acting taken by the
United Nations"

A resolution calling on all the
American Republics to maintain
armed force units for United Ma
tions service as well as their own
collective defense had prelimi-
nary approval of the conference
of American Foreign Ministers
today.
A subcommittee voted adoption
Of the proposal last night after a
compromise wording suggested by
Secretary of State Acheson was
accepted by Mexico which had led
a move against too close a tie-in
with the United Nations.
Argentina and Guatemala dele
gates, who had joined in the
original Mexican opposition, re-
served their votes and said they
would comment later. The pro-
posal may come to a vote tomor-
row by the full conference, which
is due to end Saturday.

Objections by Mexico, Argen-

amounted to improper interfer-

A companion proposal. broaden

Defense Board and instructing 1t
to draw up plans for collective
defense of the Americas, won ap-
proval of fun conference COM

recommendations would be effec-

governments concerned.
A loophole for some countries,
such as Argentine, which object
to obligating their armed forces to
action outside their own borders,
is in a phrase of both resolutions.

This phase calls for action only
in accordance with the capable
ties and constitutional processes
of each nation.
Conference committees contin-

price controls and export quotas
could be fixed without prior con-
sultation with other countries.

SafewaY Managers
Vote 10 Strike Unless
Union Is Reinsfaied
THURSDAY. APRIL 8. 1881

Managers Of Safeway stores in
the greater Washington area vot-
ed $50 to last night to strike un-H
less the company revokes its
refusal to recognize their union.
s The company refused to extend
Its 14-year recognition OF a sep
iarate union for retail store man
ayers after its contract with Local
1888 of the Retail Grocery Man
ayers Union (AFD expired last
week.
Richard Compton, business
agent Of the union, said efforts
will be made through the Federal
Cancellation Service to reopen COLI
lective bargaining negotiations
with the company before the strike
authorization is invoked.
"N0t Hunting for Strike"
''We're not hunting for q strike
and we don't want strike" Mr..
Compton said. We're mature men
and we want to give the company
q few days to reconsider its &C
tion. But we want a contract"
Mr.. Compton said the managers
had received assurances from 9TH
er organized Safeway employees of
full support in event of a strike.
There's no question about it,
Mr.. Compton said, every Safeway
store within Is miles of Wash
ington will be locked tighter than
q drum if we walk out"
Action Followed Ruling.
Sideways action in failing to
renew the contract with Local
1893 followed National Labor
Relations Board trial examiners
ruling that Safeway managers are
not employees" but supervisors
under the Taft Hartley Act.
The International Association
Of Retail Clerks, of which the
managers union is a part, is ap-
pealing' the ruling to the full
NLRB.
Il still think we can reach an
agreement if we try hard enough, !"
MIR. Compton said. I'VE haven't
had any trouble in IA years and
I see no reason why We can't
iron this out"
The expired contract provided
that managers receive $41 a week
plus l per cent of gross sales.
permitting maximum salary of
$4,000 annually. The union
asked q 10 per cent increase. The
union contends that only a half
dozen managers get the maximum
$4,000 and that average pay for
managers is $125 weekly.
