Meany threatens
to suspend UAW

WASHINGTON () - AFL-CIO
President George Meany said yes-
terday Walter Reuther's United
Auto Workers Union will be sus-
pended from the 14 million mem-
ber labor federation if it doesn't
$ pay its dues by tomorrow.
"This is a withdrawal" on the
part of the UAW, Meany said at
a news conference in explaining
that the AFL-CIO constitution
provides for automatic suspension
when dues are three months be-
hind.

More defense
morey planned
WASHINGTON (P) - Congres-
sional defense experts are laying
the groundwork for continued
high defense spending in the
early 1970s, even if the Vietnam
war ends.
Hearings currently under way
by the Senate preparedness in-
vestigations subcommittee are ex-
pected to wind up soon with a
new call for development of ad-
v nced long range bombers and
.uclear submarines to- keep the
United States ahead of the Soviet
Union in military hardware.'
At the same time, Congress is
.on its way toward approving this
year the first stage of a $5-billion
limited a n t i b all i s t i c missile
(ABM) defense system. Many ex-
perts believe that will be merely
the downpayment on an eventual
expenditure of $40 billion for a
full ABM system.

Reuther and other leaders of
the 1.5 million autoworkers, larg-
est of the 128 unions in the AFL-
CIO, have . sharply criticized
Meany's leadership as undemo-
cratic and stagnant for the past
two years.
The autoworkers union at its
recent convention in Atlantic City
voted to place its approximately
$1-million per year dues in es-
crow instead of continuing pay-
ments for the AFL-CIO, pending
possible settlement of Reuther's
criticisms of the federation.
Asked whether there was any
possibility of settling the dispute,
Meany said: "I don't know what
the quarrel is all about."wy
Reuther for the past two years
has been threatening to pull his
union out of the federation un-
less the AFL-CIO adopts his de-
mands for internal reform, makes
greater efforts to organize work-
ers, and institutes many other
policy changes.
"He is taking this method of
withdrawing," Meany said of
Reuther's decision to withhold
dues.'
"I don't think it helps the fed-
eration," Meany said, "and I don't
think it helps the autoworkers."
Meany said losing the auto-
workers would reduce the AFL-
CIO's total membership to about
12.5 million in the United States,
plus another one million in Can-
ada.
"I guess we'll go on and just do
the best we can without Walter,"
Meany said.-
The two men were the principal
founders of the AFL-CIOin1955.
Reuther, then head of the old
Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions, nominated Meany, presi-
dent of the old American Federa-
tion of Labor, to head the merged
labor federation. Meany has been
the AFL-CIO's only president.
Meany said Reuther had never
formally brought his complaints
before any official body of the
AFL-CIO.
