Some government officials fear the stoppage will spread to other Akron rubber plants and possibly produce an industry-wide disturbance. Hence: (1) Refusal of . government to follow the plantseizure procedure on the ground that’s what the strikers want. (2) Unusual action of Stabilization Director Davis, and the quick assent of Selective Service Director Hershey, for cancellation of military deferments of men taking part in the strike. : ® = = FROM MIGHTY close to John L.

It appeared likely that the United States and Britain will switch recognition from the London government to the new unity gov ernment in Warsaw as soon as the latter formally pledges “free and unfettered” elections. Then the London government presumably would pass out of existence after those elections have been held.

Mr. Truman was studying public opinion—and congressional opinion ~for a go-ahead signal on the 600word message he has prepared for submission of the charter to the senate Monday. What he wants is overwhelming public support for the charter as the keystone of an organization which will keep the world peaceful in the foreseeable future.
