AKRON Ohio AP A vice president of the Goodyear local of the United Rubber Workers denied reports the union might call 22000 Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co workers to join a strike rounding out its 12th week Earl L Givens said the reports were far from the truth. They were circulated after a Local 2 meeting at the armory here Sunday when 1500 members gave a vote of confidence to bargaining representatives. Firestone B F Goodrich and Uniroyal were struck April 21 and General Tire was hit last month raising total on strike to 53000. Goodyear has continued to operate beyond its contract expiration date on a day to day basis. The industry Big Five shutdowns could trigger an 80 day cooling off period under Taft Hartley. No national emergency move has occurred as inventories were built in anticipation of a strike. The auto industry's model changeovers loom.
