The International Association
Of Machinists is expected to
cancel its alliances with the
Transfers Union within the
next few days.
Action Is likely during the
quarterly meeting Of the Ma
ehinists executive council
which began here today.
The AFL-CIO executive coun-
ell last month ordered its af-
filistes, including the lam. to
pull out of all national pacts
with the Transfers. AL j.
Hayes. president Of the lam,
said he would comply.
George Meany, president of
the AFL-CIO, pressed for iso-
lation Of the Transfers, who
were expelled from the fedora
ton last year on charges of
corruption. He said expulsion
of the union would be practi-
calIy meaningless If alliances
with AFL-C1O afiliates con-
tinued.
The AFL-CIO order permits
cooperative arrangements with
the Transfers to continue at
the local level. if the Teamster
locals are decent Applica-
ton of this principal by the
MachiniSts may be worked out
at the current council meeting.
James r. Hoffa, president of
the Transfers, has said he will
continue to strive for "harmo-
NOUS" relations at the local
level with AFL-CIO unions that
break their national pacts.
Cooperation with the Team
sterS is important to many
unions partly because of the
truckers power to aid or
thwart strikes through control

contract with Ford. A To-day
walkout of 5000 men ended
today at Ford's Highland Park
(Mich.) factory.

grievances. Contract talks are
going on at both firms.

plants, including 1000 at the
Detroit transmission division
and 5000 at the key steering
gear division in Saginaw, Mich.

$276 Billion Debt
Biggest Since Sc
By the Associated Press


Uncle Sam ended the 1853
fiscal year with the largest
national debt in 18 months
$276, 444,438,345.8
The total, representing the
debt on June 30, was the high
est for the end of any month
since December. 1856, when it
came to $276,731, 100000 at the
same time last year, 1t was
roughly $50 million lower.
The daily Treasury state
ment, which gives the cash
position of the Treasury, gave
no reliable indication of how
far the 1858 budget may be
out of balance.
The exact figure won't be
known until the next monthly
Treasury statement is pub
lished in about two weeks.
However, top officials have been
predicting a 1858 deficit Of
$82.75 billion to SO billion
compared to a budget surplus
Of $l,645 billion last year.

He had been treated recently

He said staff members had

called police.
Police, accompanied by Chap

got as near as they could and
turned flashlights on the body.
Both Chaplain Adams and Mr..

He said he has heard rumorS
