Truce Rift Hits UAW and Big 3
DETROIT WP The truce hoped to cover the no contract period collapsed as incidents at General Motors and Chrysler plants escalated. The UAW accused 200 shop stewards and committeemen nationwide of discipline layoffs aimed at provoking a strike, while Chrysler cited 35 involved workers and said suspensions were for insubordination. At GM West Mifflin near Pittsburgh, pickets blocked most entry. 2,000 workers are affected. UAW leaders dispatched officers to the area to restore order, saying the issue is local and not tied to national GM negotiations.

House OKs 38 Billion for Defense
The House approved a defense funding bill totaling 338.4 billion dollars for the coming fiscal year, rejecting Eisenhower’s call to cut Army manpower by 30,000 and voting 389 to 0 on passage. Lawmakers approved larger sums for missile and anti submarine warfare, a stronger Marine Corps, National Guard and military reserve. The measure moves to the Senate with added funds beyond the president’s request, while keeping Army strength near 900,000 despite a 2,224 to 158 vote to add 99 million dollars to preserve that level.
