Union Move
Dismissed
As Puiblicity
United Auto Workers demands
to share the profits were dismissed
as the "first demand" at last
night's meeting of the economics
club.
Prof. Edwin E. Witte, former
chairman of the University of
Wisconsin economics department
said it was a publicity move one
should expect at the beginning .of
the bargaining sessions.
At the last round of contract
negotiations', the union demanded
a guaranteed annual wage and
ended up with supplemeitary un-
employment benefits proposed by
the Ford Motor Company, he
pointed out.
Prof. Harold Levenson of the
economics department said the
unions are in a weaker bargaining'
position now than during the 1955
contract talks when the industry
had its highest production year'
and there was very little unem-'
ployment in Detroit.
"The smaller companies, includ-
ing the parts manufacturers are
in more difficulty profit-wise and
the UAW seems concerned about
this and appears to be trying to
make a differentiation in its de-
mands," he said.
'U' Receive
Polio Grant
For Studies
The University School of Public
Health will continue the search for
new antipolio drugs, aided by a
grant of $136,155 from the March
of Dimes, University President
Harlan Hatcher announced re-
cently.
Basil O'Connor, president of the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, said that Prof. Thomas
Francis, Jr. of the School of Public
Health will serve as director of
the project.
Prof. Francis explained that the
investigations will have three
broad purposes: 1) to discover a
non-toxic chemical effective in
the prevention or treatment of
polio; 2) to uncover the mecha-
nisms of interaction between virus
and cells; and 3) 'to describe the
factors which govern th6 oc-
currence.
The secondary aim of the pro-.
ject, Dr. Francis said, is to advance
the understanding of what the
basic mechanisms of virus infec-
tion are.

for occupanicy next September, according to Francis C. Shiel, Service
Enterprises Manager.

the dormitory will be ready. However, labor trouble is a possibility as
skilled trades contracts come up for renewal in March. The dormitory
will house 1,194 women when completed.
