Management
Wins Easily
At ChrysIer

DETROIT, April 19 (AP) =
Chrysler Corp. management
headed by L. L. Colbert has
weathered another stormy an
nual meeting but there was
little indication today its critics
have been silenced.
DiSsident shareholders dom
mated a four-hour session yes
terday. They drew cheers from
a standing room crowd Of 1000
with their demands that Mr..
Colbert resign. He is both
chairman and president. And
Mr.. Colbert was booed loudly
when he contended the only
fault with the auto company
was a lack of safes.
Mr.. Colbert said sales were
off 81 per cent from last year
during the first quarter and
blamed the drop in part on
what he called a campaign of
harassment by critics of man
agement. First quarter earn
ings will be reported a week

Since there had been no for
NAL proxy fight, the election
of management'S slate Of 18
directors had been assured in
advance. AS a group they re-
ceived 1873 per cent of the
eligible vote.
Six stakeholder proposals
opposed by the directors also
were defeated as expected.
Mr.. Colbert's chief antag-
onist yesterday was Detroit At
torney Sol A. Damn who has
been trying for almost three
years to GUST Mr.. Colbert and
break his control Of the board.
Mr.. Damn displayed five loose
leaf volumes which he said were
filled with evidence Of what he
called acts Of corruption on the
part of top Chrysler manage
ment.
Mr.. Colbert said Mr.. Damn
was out Of order and was at
tempting to use the meeting
to try the lawsuits he has pend
ing against Chrysler.
After the meeting Mr.. Damn
said he would continue his
fight but II would like someone
else to be the general"
