GIN Dealers Gel
Long-Term0ffer
Curtiee Proposes
5-Yeur Contract
BY ]. A. OLEARY

The General Motors Corp
today offered its 1900 auto
mobile dealers a five-year con-
tract to replace the present
year -to-year franchise.
Although insisting that rela-
tons with the vast majority OF
GIN dealers are on a high level
Harlow H. Curtice. General Mo-
tors president, said ne was max
ing the five-year offer to over
come the effects of what he
called misleading statements
given to the Senate Antitrust
and Monopoly Subcommittee in
its current hearings.
Debate With O'Mahoney
As the subcommittee resumed
hearings today, expecting to
question several GIN vice presi-
dents, Mr.. Curtice touched off an
hour of unexpected verbal fenc-
ing with Senator O'Mahoney,
Democrat of wyoming, over
whether GIN dealers are happy
or displeased over GIN policies.
Mr.. Curtice said most dealers
have had long-term arrange
ments with the company, but he
asked permission to read a tele-
gram he is sending today to all
OF them, which reads:
"This Is to advise you that the
current selling agreements with
General Motors which became
effective November /. 1855, will,
if agreeable to you. be extended
to expire October 81. 1860. This
offer would extend the term Of
the agreement from one to five
years. If accepted. the amend.
ment to accomplish this will be
submitted to you by the division
with which you have a selling
agreement"
Mr.. Curtice explained that
while this gives the dealer FIVE
year agreement, he may still ter
inmate it at any time on 80 days
notice, if he chooses to do so.
Curtice Congratulated
Senator O'Mahoney congratu-
lated Mr.. Curtice for complying
with a suggestion the Senator
said he made last week that GIN
should take some action to al
Ileviate" the complaints of the
dealers. Throughout the hear
Iings, Senator O'Manhoney has
insisted that dealers hesitate tc
air their complaints through fear
of losing their dealerships.
Senator O'Manhoney said he
hoped Ford and Chrysler viii
take notice of GINS action today
and do likewise.

lecutive then got into a discus

of force by India against the
Portuguese colony of Goa.
Such remarks by Soviet lead

no great desire to lower tensions
with the West. he said.
Blow to Geneva Spirit
Mr.. Dulles added that to this
extent the anti-Western criti-
cisms have damaged what sur
wives of the friendlier East-West
relations growing out of last
July's summit meeting.
The Secretary stressed that
the United States wants India
and Portugal to settle their dis
pute over Goa peacefully, with
out resort to force. India's Prime
Minister Nehru. he said, certain
Ily shares this view.
Mr.. Dulles said the main pur-
pose of a statement he issued
Friday with Portugal's Foreign
Minister - one which aroused
angry reaction in India-was to
lessen the emotionalism built up
by Russia's leaders by their COM
ments on Goa.
Mr.. Dulles said he feels these
Russian statements were de-
signed to create an atmosphere
which would provoke use of force
in the dispute. These Soviet
statements were an attempt to
inject prejudice and hatred into
the controversy, he declared.

NEW YORK. Dec. 6.-Secre-

union workers so as to bring
the benefits and protection of
unioinsm to more Of our working

Both the Republican Mr.,
Mitchell and the speaker who
preceded him at the first COM
bined union convention. New

an aspirant to the Democratic
presidential nomination. urged
increased political action on
Ilabor's part. Each bid for the

Mr.. Mitchell outlined some OF
the things for which he said the
increased strength of the ALL
CLIO consolidation should be
used"

he said. 1T will surely make
clearer and more emphatic the
voice of labor in the field OF
public affairs. I welcome both
these developments"
Notes UniOnism's Spread
"As unionism penetrates into
the lower-paid areas Of our econ
omy," the Cabinet officer said at
another point. Into the South
and into the sweated, exploited
trades, it can very effectively
foster, promote. and develop
those interests which Federal
law makes my concern"

political activity were far diff

Gently by some Republican SEN
ators. especially those of Sena-

responsibility to make your

President George Meany said his
plans to keep its
informed on political
issues rather than to start a

Data so far rounded up by the

While vaccine production is
still uncertain, public health
authorities will explore the pos
Sibilities of spreading the suppl
to more individuals by adopting
the one-shot technique.
Still unknown, however, is the
amount of lasting protection the
vaccine affords. Children who
received the shot last summer
did so shortly before the polio
season arrived. in most cases.
Whether children who receive

degree as those who receive the
