DETROIT. March % (P.-
Leaders of the United Auto
Workers Union are working on
a plan for a non-union commit
tee to keep a critical eye on JAW
affairs.
The committee, unique in the
American labor movement, could
initiate a breakdown on union
leadership at the first sniff OF
corruption and would be the last
word in disputes between JAW
members and the union.
Walter P. Reuther. president
of the giant JAW, outlined pre-
liminary plans for the Public Re-
view Board at a news conference
yesterday. He said he would SUBJ
nit the plan to the JAWS con-
stitutional convention in Atlantic
City, N. j., April 7-12.
Outstanding Leaders
The board would be composed
of about seven outstanding pub
lie citizens whose integrity and
general acceptance are beyond
question" Mr.. Reuther said.
He mentioned prominent
jurists. professors, churchmer
and attorneys as the most desir-
able members of the board.
