Saturday, June l5, 196S Pick Abel to succeed' Reuther as IUD head THE MICHIGAN DAIL) "I Page Three WASHINGTON (I)-I. W. Abel, head of the United Steelworkers, will be named to succeed Walter Reuther as president of the AFL- CIO's largest division, the Indus- trial Union Department, informed sources said yesterday. Reuther lost the post when his United Auto Workers union. was suspended from the AFL-CIO a month ago for refusing to pay dues. The suspension followed a two-year quarrel between Reuther and AFL-CIO President George Meany over leadership of the labor federation. Abel reportedly was chosen with- out opposition at a meeting of Industrial Union Department of- ficials elected ecutive and was expected to be by the department's ex- board later yesterday. The department embraces 52 of the federation's 128 unions and nearly half its total membership of 13.6 million workers. UndernReuther, the department 'had been active in helping union organizing drives and in the re- cent development of coordinated bargaining, in which groups of unions have handed together for more strength in negotiating with large corporations. Reuther's union was suspended fromtheAFL-CIO underan auto- matic provision of the federation's constitution after withholding dues for three months. The Steelworkers, with more than one million members, became the largest union in the AFL-CIO after the suspension of the 1.6 million-member Auto Workers union. The suspension of the Auto Workers followed Reuther's long attack on Meany and other AFL- CIO leaders, whom Reuther ac- cused of failing to meet the chal- lenge of the labor movement's modern needs. Reuther has sharply criticized AFL-CIO policies on organizing, bargaining, social programs, for- eign affairs and virtually all other matters. The Auto Workers \for more than a year before the split with the AFL-CIO had halted their heavy financial contributions to the Industrial Union Department, while heavy spending continued for organizing drives and other labor programs run by the depart- ment.

PEACE SEEMS DISTANT: Delegate's ponder talks Bonn to c on Berlin Ambassador called home BONN, Germany (4) - West Germany called home its ambas- sador to Moscow yesterday and planned talks with the heads of the allied governments on how to pressure the Soviet Union into stopping East Germany's red-tape slowdown of overland traffic to West Berlin. The lever might be a threat by Bonn that it would not sign the treaty to check the spread of nu- clear weapons drafted jointly by the United States and Russia. The moves coincided with an inflammatory editorial in the of- ficial East German Communist party newspaper, Neues Deutsch- land, warning that "there will be new unpleasant" surprises for West Germany as long as it re- fuses to recognize the East Berlin regime. Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesin- ger summoned Ambassador Hel- mut Allardt for discussions Mon- day that could deal with trading West Germany's signature on the test ban treaty for withdrawal of the new East German travel re- Cowboy strictions.

Dinners-Cocktails-Beer-Wines NO COVER NO MINIMUM - - - - PARIS (m)-U.S. representatives conferred yesterday on strategy for the next session of the dead- locked Vietnam talks. But the thunder of propaganda guns from Hanoi made the goal of peace seem as distant now as when these conversations began five weeks ago. U.S. Ambassador W. Averell Harriman put in a working day,, part of it in conference with his deputy, Ambassador Cyrus R. 'Vance. The two, along with their aides, studied the statements to date of the North Vietnamese and newr blasts from North Vietnam's capi- tal. North Vietnam, for its part, has kept up its sustained propaganda attack. The latest barrage came yesterday in the form of an inter- view of the Algiers newspaper El Moudjahid with Defense Minister Vo Nguyen Giap, the North Viet- namese general who masterminded the battle of Dien Bien Phu and the Viet Minh strategy that ousted France from Indochina in 1954. The newspaper quoted Giap as saying that all the current battles in South Vietnam are part of new ,nd long-term Dien Bien Phu in which he said "victory is ours- that is certain. Gap, the newspaper said, was asked whether a victory such as seizure of an important city lile Saigon might open the way to some sort of accord in Paris, as the fall of Dien Bien Phu had led to the 1954 settlement at Geneva. Giap replied that no historical analogy was ever complete, but that there were parallels in the two situations, adding that he was confident in the ultimate vic- tory of "the whole people of Viet- nam." The North Vietnamese defense minister claimed President John- son, while talking of peaceful in- tentions, was continuing massive bombardment of "the most im- portant part of our territory," and added: "Is this new proof of the peaceful intentions of the Amer- icans? I don't think so." The territory Giap referred to lies in the panhandle of the coun- try below the 20th parallel. John- son on March 31 limited the bom- bardment to the area south of that line, and his action led to the cur- rent talks in Paris. However, the President now is believed to be under mounting pressure to modify his restraint order, in view of the rocket bom- bardment of Saigon. The attacks are viewed here as an attempt of the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong to win some sort of military advantage which would give them a heavy and perhaps decisive advantage in the Paris talks. In some quarters it is considered possible that unless the attacks on Saigon come to an end, the United States will be persuaded eventual- ly that its restraint in the bomb- ing of the North has failed to pay off.

Authorities said at least nine persons died and 300 were injured when the twister smashed through the small farm town Thursday evening. Some 300 homes and businesses were destroyed or damaged by the tornado which caused about $3 million damage. The federal gov- ernment declared Lyon County and adjacent counties a disaster area. * * * NASHVILLE, Tenn. - George Wallace, declaring "every person is a racist by somebody's defini- tion," insisted again yesterday he is running for president on a bi- racial platform.

Press" next Sunday. }Shafer and a number of Penn.. sylvania delegates have long been regarded as supporters of Rocke- feller. "I have committed myself as a favorite son," Shafer said, "Aid will not make any change until I have completed my discussion with my own delegation. Then we will make a decision." Rockefeller's aides also were elated over the results of a poll published yesterday by the Min- neapolis'Star-Tribune. The survey, taken in late May before the as- sassination of Sen. Robert F,,Ken- nedy, showed: Rockefeller 48 per cent, Vice President Hubert Humphrey 46 per cent, 6 per cent undecided; Richard M. Nixon 42 per cent, Humphrey 52 per cent, 6 per cent undecided; Rockefeller 49 per cent, Sen. Eugene McCarthy 44 per cent, 7 per cent undecided; McCarthy 49 per cent, Nixon 44 per cent, 7 per cent undecided. Rockefeller mapped a heavy schedule of appearances in Min- nesota, and North ]Dakota for to- day, followed by more intensive campaigning the next week. The strategy now, in his effort to overtake Nixon, is to make as many public appearances as possi- ble, attend as many rallies as he can, and strive for the maximum amount of exposure for his ideas. At the conference the governors have been preparing a "handbook" of legislative proposals to be used as source material in writing the GOP platform this year. aa s GET DAD A FLOWER PRINTt NEHRU SHIRT AT T HE W A LK~ 107-109 S.
