Automotive News, a trade pub- UAWees Auto.,Profits By The Associated Press NEW YORK-Walter P. Reu- ther, United Auto Workers presi- dent, says his union will try to relieve General Motors Corps. "of those \heavy money bags that are breaking their back." Reuther's statement Sunday, at the conclusion of the union's two- day northeast regional conference, indicated that the UAW will press this year for substantial wage in- creases and other benefits from GM and other auto makers. Reuther told 400 delegates the union would seek a share of what he called the "fabulous and fan- tastic" profits made by the auto companies last year. The union's present, three-year contracts with GM, Ford and Chrysler expire Aug. 31, and the pact with American Motors end Oct. 15. Referring to GM's reported sur- plus of more than $2 billion, Reu- ther said: "We can relieve them of those heavy money bags that are breaking their backs. It's all there, waiting, and we will be knocking at their door pretty soon." lication, estimated that U.S. auto plants had turned out 416,031 cars as of last weekend, compared with 416,946 at the same point last year. Ward's Automotive Reports, an- other trade journal, estimated car output thus far in January, 1964, at 410,470, compared with 415,773 at the same date last year. Economic Dispute Meanwhile, the Detroit Free Press said last night that a public dispute between automotive labor and management over economic issues may be touched off by President Johnson's first economic message. The newspaper said that as a result of a warning from the Pres- ident against "inflationary" wage increases, the wrangling could de- velop months ahead f of labor- management contract talks sched- uled for this summer. The Free Press quoted manage- ment sources as saying they will contend that anything more than a "moderate" settlement with la- bor could offset the advantages of the President's tax cutting pro- posal and throw the country into another inflationary spiral. UAW Move "The United Auto Workers auto profits will make it possible for the companies to give workers a better contract this year without raising auto prices," the Free Press said. The newspaper quoted one union source as saying "as long as auto prices don't go up, we won't have to worry about inflation." Eight auto plants in the East were hit by a heavy snowstorm last week and Ward's estimated that the tieup cost more than 10,- 000 planned units. Poll Sees Romney Victory; Republicans Gain in State DETROIT (t)-Republican Gov. George Romney would easily retain his governor's seat despite a substantial showing by Democrat Neil Staebler if an election were held today, the Detroit News re- ported yesterday. A poll, conducted for the News by Richard W. Oudersluys, presi- dent of Market-Opinion Research Co., indicated Romney would cut deep into traditionally Democraticy TO: Engineers of the Class of '64 Post Graduation Plans SUBJECT: If However, Handy made no men- tion of committee support for a bill soon to be introduced in the House which asks that the voting age be reduced from 21 to 18. Handy also said that the com- mittee wants to reinstate the state-wide spring election of town- ship officials which was done away with in the new document. His reason for this is "to get some of the names off of the fall ballot in order to avoid confusion." Another controversial issue, ac- cording to Lansing authorities, is the matter of redistricting. Co- chairman E. D. O'Brien (D-De- troit) suggested an amendment that would keep present House and Senate districts unchanged for the 1964 elections butdorder redistricting in 1965. He said that "then in 1966 we would elect both House and Senate members for four-year terms." Under the new Constitution, House members continue to be elected for two-year terms, while the members of the Senate face election for four-year terms, a situation that has reportedly irked PRESIDENT LYNDON JOHNSON In addition, Buick lost about 6,000 cars last week from its pro-, duction plans because of a labor dispute at its Flint, Mich., plant.

Congressman-at-large Staebler would make a better showing than any of the other four men dis- cussed as possible Democratic pri- mary candidates by picking up 34.3 per cent of the vote, the poll- ster said. Mackie Second State Highway Commissioner John C. Mackie was ranked sec- ond on the basis of his showing when matched against Romney. He would take 33.8 per cent of the total vote to 48.7 per cent for Romney, the poll showed. The poll indicated Detroit May- or Jerome Cavanagh would rank third and would be supported by 32.3 per cent to 49.1 per cent for Romney; Lt. Gov. T. John Lesin- ski ran fourth with 32.1 per cent to Romney's 50 per cent, and Zolton Ferency, Democratic state chairman, ranked fifth with 27.1 per cent to 51.7 per cent for Rom- ney. Mackie, the latest announced entry into the coming Democratic primary, opposes both city and state income taxes. No State Income Tax Mackie, in his second of two television appearances Sunday, told a Flint viewing audience he believes the federal government should "pre-empt the field" of income taxation. He said his position against in- come taxes sets him apart from most other Michigan Democratic office-seekers. "Politically, publicly and pri- vately, I believe the affairs of Michigan can be run without an income tax," he said. Sales Tax, But.. . "When Michigan voters ap- proved the sales tax, it was under the 'assumption, and rightly so, that there would be no state in- ooime tax," he said. Elsewhere, Michigan's Republi- can and Democratic state chair- men have agreed on one thing: political contributions should be deducted from federal income tax. I support a proposal for a constitu- tional amendment lowering Mich- igan's legal voting age from 21 to 18. A bill calling for such an amendment to be put on the bal- lot is expected to be introduced in the Legislature this month. Romney recalled that, as a vice president to the Constitiutional Convention, he had backed an un- successful effort to have the 18- year voting age written into the new constitution.

University / Plymouth Rd. at Huron Parkway / Whitmore Lake / Dexter 'Panel Urges Congress 'To Advance humanities WASHINGTON-A national panel has called upon Congress to launch an effort in the humanities and arts comparable to that which the government has spurred in the scientific field. Brown University President Barnaby Keeney, chairman of the study group, said yesterday that his panel recommends establishment - - - - Hof a national foundation for the humanities and the arts. It would be similar in structure and operation to the federally- financed National Science Found- ation, he said. Upgrading THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANIES SALUTE: TOM BENSON A special opportunity 27 weeks of Newsweek for only 197 When Tom Benson (B.S., Engineering, 1956) joined Michigan Bell in 1960, he was asked to put a new method of handling telephone repair assignments into operation in his Detroit Plant District. So expertly did Tom prove out the new method, his company soon put it into use throughout the Division and promoted Tom to Staff Service Supervisor. On his new job, Tom introduced a new cost results plan to the field force. Another success, another promotion ... this time to Supervising Foreman. Now Tom is responsible for installation results in the entire Wyandotte District with 50 installers and five supervisors reporting to him. Tom Benson, like many young engineers, is impatient to make things happen for his company and himself. There are few places where such restlessness is more welcomed or rewarded than in the fast-growing telephone business. BELL TELEPHONE COMPANIES Keeney said such a foundation should promote the upgrading of teaching and research in the hu- inanities, in and out of the class- room. Specifically, he added, the foundation should initiate pro- grams to improve instruction in the humanities at all levels; pro- vide money for buildings and equipment; develop public and school libraries,eand encourage teacher exchange programs. Kenney spoke to the American Council of Learned Societies which along with the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa and the Council of Graduate Schools, sponsored the panel's year-long study. On the platform with Keeney were Sens. Wayne Morse (D-Ore) and Claiborne Pell (D-RI). Pell has introduced a bill to further the cause of the arts. Morse said he would not commit himself to the foundation idea at this time but added that increased atten- tion to the humanities had his full support. (C) 1964, The Washington Post Co.
