thrown out of work because of
automation and other techno-
logical advances.
The President adopted a
hands Off attitude. for the
present at least, on threats of
a strike in the automobile in
dustry.
Asked if he was prepared to
take any steps to prevent a
breakdown in negotiations be-
tween the Big Three automo-
bile companies and the United
Automobile Workers, he said
the negotiations obviously
should be left at this time to
those on both sides of the
bargaining table who are bar
gaining in a free economy"
He expressed hope the nego-
tiations will bring an agreement
that will prevent a strike and
that will not call for an increase
in the cost of automobiles.
This is a matter in which the
public interest is involved"
To Avoid MayOralty Issue
The President also kept hands
off two other domestic contro-
verSies-New York City's may

still are to be accepted or

He added that he is sure that

problems. He has been credited
with knowing more about Com
munist tactics in that part of
the world than any other
WeSterner.
The 64-year-old Clay, slim
but graying. served in Berlin
from 1945 until 1949, first as
deputy military governor and
in 1947-1949 as United States
commandant at Berlin and as
United States military governor
in West Germany. He had a
key role in the Berlin airlift
that rescued the city from the
Communist blockade of 1948-9.
He was hailed afterward by
Congress as "the hero of Ber-
lin" the man whose firmness in
dealing with the Soviet Union
saved Berlin for the West.
West Berliners fondly re-
member Gen. Clay as a man
who helped save them from
starvation. To many, when
their freedom bell rings in Ber-
lin, he is remembered as the
man who gave it to them. Gen.
Clay presented the bell to Ber-
lin in 1850 for the people
whose courage he admired so
much.
Announces Appointment
Mr.. Kennedy, in announcing
Gen. Clay's new appointment
yesterday, said:
"The situation in Berlin is a
serious one and I wish to have
the advantage of having on the
scene a person of Gen. Clay's
outstanding capacity and ex-
perience."
Gen. Clay had been rumored
in line for appointment to such

is a matter which the Peace
Corps will deal with in a
responsible way"
Mr.. Kennedy replied with a
simple mo" when asked if he
favored one group over another
in the bitter Democratic pri-
mary fight for the nomination
for mayor in New York City.

President Kennedy hopes to
ward off any increase in steel
prices without direct Govern
ment actions
The President told a press
conference late yesterday an
increase in steel prices might
serve as a brake on our re-
coYery" and set off another in
flationary spiral.
He said his economic ad-
visers have informed him that
the steel companies can ab-
Sorb a wage boost due in
October without increasing
| prices, and still make a good
profit.
Cites Public Interest
He added that he hopes the
steel industry will reach the
same conclusion and concern
themselves with the public in
terests" to hold the line on
prices.
Mr.. Kennedy also indicated
that concern about initiation
will serve as a damper on any
big increase in public works
spending that some have urged
to spur employment.
He said he is concerned that
unemployment is still too high
and that he hopes unemploy-
ment will decline as economic
recovery progresses.
The President called for ac-
ton by Congress in this session
on legislation for Federal aid
in job retraining to help over
come the problem of men

a Berlin post since he visited
the troubled city with Vice
President johnson 10 days ago.
Since his retirement from
Government service in May,
1949, Gen. Clay has been board
chairman of Continental Can
Co., a position worth $150,O0O
a year.
Gen. Clay was born in Mari
eta. Ga, April %, 1897. His
father, Alexander Stephens
Clay, was a United States Sem
ator from Georgia for II years
and Lucius served as a Senate
page for a time.
The general is a great-great-
nephew Of Kentucky'S famous
Henry Clay, United States Sem
ator and House speaker. He is
married and has two sons.
Gen. Clay can be sharp
tongued or kindly but he rarely
loses dignity and he has made
few mistakes in judgment, his
associates say.
Eisenhower Friend
He has maintained q long
time friendship with former
President Eisenhower. This was
cemented when Gen. Clay, a
top engineer, broke the supply
bottleneck in Cherbourg Harbor
that threatened to stall the
Western armies in World War
II. Gen. Eisenhower picked
Gen. Clay to be his deputy in
charge of civil affairs when Mr..
Eisenhower took over his occu-
pational duties in Germany.

Those close to him say he was
among the first to advocate
building a strong democratic
Germany under Western allied
control as a bulwark against
communism.
After his four years of trying
to rebuild Germany, Gen. Clay
said:

faith in our American ideals
and help the rest of the world.
