Maytag Peace Proposal Put To Vote By Plant Workers
Sitdown strikers at the Maytag plant in Newton began balloting on a company plan to reopen the plant. The union vote was set for 7.30 p.m. at Newton High School after workers took possession of the plant last week. Leaders warned the 60 day truce and 30 day negotiation plan would only delay labor trouble for 90 days. CIO officials and local union officers held talks amid concerns over a 10 percent wage cut and the possibility of a quick settlement aided by national leaders. The plant has been shut since May 9 when workers walked out in protest.

Clash Over Charges Made Against Legion
National Commander Daniel Doherty of the American Legion and Newark university President Frank Kingdon clashed at a National Education Association symposium addressing 800 teachers. Kingdon attacked Mayor Hague of Jersey City as a symptom of failures in the American community and blamed the school system for Hague and for faults in the Legion, urging educators to examine themselves rather than denounce Hague.
