Reuther Asks U.S. to Settle Ford Walkout

Company Counters Union Proposal To End Strike

DETROIT, May 14 (UP)-—-Wal-ter P. Reuther, president of the CIO United Auto Workers, tonight asked the federal government to step into the UAW’s crippling walkout against the Ford Motor Co.

‘Mr. Reuther wired Federal Mediation and Conciliation Director

8. Ching, inviting him to ©

intervene in the strike of 62,200 workers at twoivital Ford plants. “1 feel obliged to advise you that negotiations with the Ford Motor Co. recessed today with the dispute no nearer settlement than the day the strike began,” the: telegram said. Session Breaks Up Mr. Ching sald at Washington

yesterday that he would move, AT

into the strike over an alleged!

speedup if “significant progress”! -

was not reported.

The fifth and longest negotia-| = 3

ting sesion since the strike began; .

broke up after five hours. Re-| sumption of the peace talks was scheduled for Monday, but Mr. Reuther will not attend. Settlement plans by both the UAW and Ford were turned down at today’s conferences. Mr. Reuther said he will go to Washington for three days to attend a CIO meeting but will return immediately if Ford “comes up with a sensible proposal.” Won’t Arbitrate The UAW chief said Ford's counter-proposal was 60 per cent propaganda and 40 per cent restatement -of management that it shall reserve the" right without reservation to set work standards.” Details of neither the company nor union pace bids were disclosed, but Ford's proposal was understood to have included its demand that the dispute be arbi-

trated. The UAW has steadfastly|

refused to arbitrate. There was no immediate comment on the talks from Ford spokesmen. Reuther's telegram was sent to Ching without the company’s previous knowledge.
