Pledges Called for UAW Officials in Detroit
Font Local 580 of the CIO United Auto Workers votes 75 to 63 to require its 580 officials to sign anti communist pledges by August 1 or face ouster. The measure, led by Carl Stellato, aims to support Truman Korea actions and condemn Soviet policy. Opponents warn of a broader loyalty pledge trend, while Stellato insists soldiers are dying in Korea. The pledge requires allegiance to the US government, support of CIO policy, and rejection of communism, fascism, or Klan ties. In a separate note, eight farm plans were written by unit workers in June, covering Edwin L. Barey to Herman Cohen, with 2.7 miles of terraces and 39 acres of drainage improvements.
