(UEV-A walk out threat of another 25,000 hung over negotiations resuming today between General Motors Corp and the United Automobile Workers Union (CIO) in an effort to settle the 20-day old strike of 175,000 union members.

In peace talks scheduled for 9 the company faced a union challenge to make decisive concessions on the 30 per cent wage gain demand or provoke a shutdown of GM appliance plants by a strike of GM electrical work ers. UAW Vice President Walter P. Reuther said bluntly that the union expected "good faith" bargaining by the company, or it would consider further negotiations as "time wasting." Two Proposals Reuther said "good faith" would bo denoted by one of two propos als from company negotiators: L. An offer of wage increases in line with union demands, or 2. Willingness to reveal company records for a factual determination of ability to pay.

Repeated company offers to advance wages ten per cent have been spumed. The UAW has asked the 25,000 employes of five, major GM appliance plants to join the strike as a sympathy demonstration if the company falls to meet the "good faith" test. Reuther said he does not doubt that the United Electric al. Radio and Machine Workers Union (CIO) will agree to the proposal. UE-CIO Is negotiating with Gen eral Motors for a.

The committee, meanwhile, was promised a look at British and American naval communications on mutual defense before Dec 7. 1941. Seek Answers Committee Counsel William D. Mitchell said he would try to have them ready when examination Gen. George C.

Marshall resumed today. Marshall and other witnesses have testified they knew of no such commitments. Ferguson asked for: 1. The answer to a message from Adm. Thomas C.

Hart, com mander -of the Asiatic fleet, to Adm. Harold R. Stark, chief 'of naval operations, on Dec 7, 1341 the day -of the attack. 2. Copies of British admiralty messages to the United States gov eminent on Dec.

6 and 7, 1941. Hart's message to stark was read by Ferguson last Saturday. It said: "Learned from Singapore we have assured British armed sup port under three or four eventu alities. Have received no corre sponding instructions from you." Stark's reply was no produced at the time. Ferguson pointed out that Hart's message appeared to have been filed at 1:45 a.

m. (Washington time) Nearly twelve hours before Japanese planes struck Pearl Har bor. Show Plans It raised the question whether British forces had asked Hart to go into action against the Japa nese before Pearl Harbor on the basis of American-Dutch-British conversations at Singapore the pre ceding April. Ferguson pointed to recommendations drafted by military and naval representatives of the three powers at that meeting. He cited specifically proposals for: 1.

Joint counteraction if Japan crossed certain geographic lines in East Asia in her threatened south' ward expansion, 2. Shifting the U. 8. Asiatic fleet from Manila- to Singapore should the movements of Japanese naval and air forces become threatening. 3.

Organization of British and American guerilla forces to fiaht Japanese troops in occupied China. Marshall said the agreement never was approved by this government and therefore never became operative. He said the clos est we got to organizing guerilla forces was to help equip the Amer ican volunteer group the famed Flying Tigers.

Dec. 14, cattle feeders of the Twelfth Congressional District will meet at Hinckley for the purpose of making recommendations to Washington for a method of removing the subsidies paid to farmers and pack ers that will not break the cattle. hog and sheep markets next spring. On March 31, 1946, X30 of the S1.70 per 100 subsidies on hogs ls to be removed. The balance, along with subsidies on cattle ranging from SL25 to 83.80 per 100 to packers and 50 cents to farmers with 81.00 to 83.15 to sheep raisers and feeders, ls to be ended by June 30, 1946.

Fear is that if the ceilings on meat are not eliminated before the subsidies. then the selling prices of livestock will break so drastically as to cause enormous losses to those who have purchased cattle this fall to bo marketed in the spring. The meeting Friday evening will be held at the Hinckley com munity building it 8 o'clock. It ls sponsored by the Illinois Cattle Feeders Association, B.

Such a strike would bring to 98 the number of GM plants closed by the wage-gain dispute. A total of 200,000 workers would be on strike, and another 5,000 office workers would be added to the 50,000 now idle. While negotiations were renewed by the UAW and General Motors in an effort to avert threatened federal intervention, labor leaders watched Washington for possible White House reaction to the UAWi latest blast against President Truman, Attack Plan In rejecting Mr. Truman's appeal for a return' to work, the GM strikers' conference accused the president of seeking to destroy labor's right to strike.

UAW officials recognized that Mr. Truman may act awiftly in appointment of a fact-finding board as a reply to the union's anti-labor charges and to strengthen his program before Congress. But without enabling legislation, the board would lack power to subpoena company and union books or force testimony from officials of the two groups. If the disputing parties failed to co-operate and both have opposed the plan true fact-finding would be a virtual impossibility, union spokesmen said. Another phase of.

the UAWs battle for 52 hours pay for 40 hours of work to maintain peacetime paychecks at wartime levels resumes today in' negotiations with Ford officials. The union expected to submit a plan providing union guarantees of production security for the company. UAW director Richard T. Leonard said the plan would not provide cash payments to the company for wildcat stoppages, but would embody "effective controls and penalties for unauthorized strikes." Agreement on the company production security point has been made a prerequisite to talks on the union's demand for 30 per cent pa gains. Mrs.
