Auto Union Head Called By Truman
DETROIT AP President R J Thomas of the CIO United Auto Workers says he was called by President Truman to a White House conference at 11 a m Friday amid stalled talks with General Motors over a 45 hour week and a 30 percent wage increase.

The provision would allow American scientists to share results of private nuclear energy research with foreign colleagues, though not to manufacture a super atomic bomb in the United States.
