He quoted Wilson as having said, “One of them made the complaint, you know you have just cut the draft. In our district there are 110 more young men that won’t have to go to the Korean fight and that'll add to our unemployment!’” He said Wilson told him that it was “ridiculous to apply his re- marks to any situation except that of the boy who was relieved of. the necessity of going to Korea and yet.wouldn’t-go 100 miles for a job.” In part at least, the President’s comment was a reply to Reuther. However, Reuther refused to quit. The fiery CIO leader, calling a news conference after Wilson’s clarifying statement, said the sec- retary had given the, Communists “a great psychological weapon.” “The Communists will use Mr. Wilson’s statement most effective-)Corp., his former firm, was given | porarily out of work against Reuth- ly,” Reuther said. “Mr, Wilson,” he added, “‘is ei- ther stupid or callously indifferent. I don’t believe he’s stupid.” Wilson’s other critics — includ- ing both AFL and CIO leaders and Democrats—took off on his press conference remarks. Known here from his automobile industry days as sometimes blunt- spoken, the defense secretary ex- pressed a preference for “bird dogs” as against ‘“kennel-fed dogs” after saying he had “a lot of sym- pathy” for jobless workers. “The bird dogs like to go out and hunt around for their food,” he said, “‘but the kennel dogs just sit on their fanny and yell.” That was the exact quotation from a tape recording transcrip- tion of Monday’s news conference. In Wilson’s statement yesterday he used the words “the kennel-fed dog would sit back on his haunches and yelp.” “I certainly intended no invidi- ous comparisons, nor insinuations likening people to dogs in any sense,” Wilson said. President Eisenhower, in his ear- lier comment at Denver, said he was sure that “initial newspaper reports” did not ‘fully reflect what Mr. Wilson said or meant.” Actually, Wilson’s press confer- ence was devoted in large part to his denial that General Motors an unfair share of defense con- tracts. Such charges have been | made, | But the allusion to the dogs set | up repercussions that drowned out | almost everything else, Democratic Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell said Wilson’s sta‘e- | ments were “cruel and stupid.” | AFL President George Meany said | Wilson showed “‘a complete ignor. ance of what it means to be un-| employed.” ) Sen. Saltonstall (R-Mass) said Wilson’s remark was “unfair to many of our good citizens. Rep. | Crumpacker (R-Ind) said Wilson | ought to resign and that he con- | sidered the secretary “too great a burden for any administration to carry.” Sen. Symington (D-Mo) said Wil- son “‘missed an opportunity to keep a civil foot in his mouth.” He said the remark, if true, was “un- fortunate, especially if it express- es the philosophy of a public ser- | vant in regard to unemployed peo- ple.” On the other hand, Wilson had strong defenders, too. John Feikens, Michigan state Re- publican chairman, called Reuth- er’s telegram to Mr. Eisenhower the “outery by the socialist master of the Democratic party.” Feikens said he would “match Secretary Wilson’s concern for his neighbors and friends who are tem- er’s any time.” In his statement Wilson indicated particular dismay in that the in- cident happened in Detroit. “] thought back in my own home town I was in no danger of having anything I said taken*out of con- text and misinterpreted,” he said. Reuther, in his news conference that followed Wilson’s statement, said: “The brutal, simple truth is that when Mr. Wilson thought of workers he thought of dogs.” “Frankly,” Reuther said, “we | thought we had done a better job of educating Mr. Wilson.” The CIO president smiled as he made the remark. He and Wilson were onetime antagonists in bar- gaining between Reuther’s auto union and General Motors, of EVERYBODY GOES FOR } JOLLY TIME,e 2 pOP CORN M4 OUTPOPS 'EM ALL! which Wilson was president before going to Washington. | Vice President Nixon, in reply | ment, said: “T feel the deeds of this adminis- |tration show what its attitudes are toward the unemployment prob- lem.” He said that employment in the United States is now at a record peacetime high and lauded efforts of the administration in convert- ing the nation from a wartime to a peacetime economy.

Lutherans To Close Conclave By ELTON C. FAY WASHINGTON (#—A new com- mander may take over direction of Allied Powers in Europe next sum- mer at about the time when — By GEORGE W. CORNELL TORONTO (#—The United Luth- eran Convention went into its final session today after approving a “| record-breaking new budget and a closer-knit governing structure for their church. The changes in the church gov- ernment, bringing its scores of agencies under central control, ‘were seen as setting a far-reaching new pattern in the running of the 2,150,000-member church. “It will make for greater soli- darity,” said Dr. Franklin Clark Fry of New York, the church pres- ident. “‘It means the total work of the church will have more united impact.” Adoption of the revamped pro- cedures came yesterday as the cli- mactic event of the eight-day bi- ennial meeting of more than 1,000 church representatives from the United States and Canada, The church is America’s largest Lutheran body. The changes, still to be ratified by two-thirds of the church’s re- gional synods, give a 2l-member executive board the power of re- view and veto over all church- wide agencies and officers. These agencies, including mis- sion, education, evangelism,. lay. auxiliaries and many other depart- ments, previously have been '‘sub- ect only to control of the conven- mn. The convention also a a record church budget of $15,221,513 for the 1956-57 biennium, a 21. per cent increase over the) ‘eurrent It provides for expanded foreign and domestic missions, parish edu- cation, radio-television programs and other activities, includng a half-million-dollar, two-year evan- gelism drive. ‘od Sportsman OK After Ordeal ASPEN, Colo #—His knowledge’ of the mountains served Leonard back inside his body.

The former New Yorker, who owns a swimming pool in this mountain resort, was found late yesterday, “hungry but in remark- ably good condition.” He was hos- pitalized overnight for a checkup. Thomas lost his way after leav- ing a hunting camp Sunday after- noon to investigate interesting rock formations with a Geiger counter. He found no uranium but saw “a lot of good elk.” On the first night in the open, he used pine boughs to build a shelter against a six-inch snowfall. Dulles Rests WATERTOWN, N.Y.

(#—Their 23-hour riot ended, inmates of the South Dakota State Penitentiary were back to their normal quiet behavior today. The revolt stopped late yester- day, only 25 minutes after the nearly 300 milling rioters in a large cell block were ordered to release the guards they held as hostages or else “face the consequences.” The ultimatum by Gov. Sigurd Anderson and Warden G. Norton Jameson came as some 200 armed National Guardsmen, sheriff's dep- uties and other officers stood out- side the block. The hostages, George Read and E. F. Lambertson, were freed and escorted to safety by 25 highway patrolmen, who were sent unarmed to the block gate. -The guards said they hadn’t been hurt or even seriously threatened. .Goy, Anderson called the out- break an “unnecessary riot” and said he will order an investigation into its cause. The revolt started as the pris- oners were finishing their evening meal Monday. Using tear gas, guards herded the rioters into the cell block and snapped the heavy doors shut. ' At first there were three hos- tages, but one of them, guard Mel- vin DeYoung, was released in the afternoon. The convicts said they freed him to show their “good faith” in their dealings on griev- ances ‘over prison conditions. Gov. Anderson, in announcing the riot had ended, said, “We made no concessions.” Secret Explosive Factory Reported Found In Havana HAVANA, Cuba (®—Police Chief Rafael Salas Canizares said today his agents discovered a secret ex- plosive factory in Havana’s China- town, He charged it was set up as part of a terrorist plot to disrupt Cuba’s Nov. 1 presidential elec- tions, - Salas reported more than 100 suspects have been arrested in connection with the alleged plot.
