(UP Telephoto) Senator Blocks Bid to Link Reserve Plan to Draft Law Hershey said he knows "of no doubts there is enough young manpower available for both the present regular and the o- posed new reserve program. "Iam not trying to undercut the program," Hershey said of the plan to let thousands of young men under 19 volunteer for six months active training and then serve out another 7 1-2 years in National Guard or ac tive reserve units. Hershey said a blacklog ofl more than 1,700,000 draft ge youths might provide far 1 manpower than some Pentagon leaders believe. Anderson and Louis' G. Seaton have given Reuther advance as surance they will maKe a guaranteed wage offer patterned after' the Ford plan there was guessing GM might do so In a manner that would embarrass Reuther and even endanger his guaranteed wage idea completely.

It was speculated that GM might make two offers, one like the Ford plan and another pro posing much larger cash pay boosts lor GM workers, witn ine suggestion the UAW let the workers choose between the two plans. IN THE FORD negotiations Reuther had proposed Just such a popular vote among the workers. He called for a worker choice between a Ford plan to let workers buy company stock at a 1 price and the UAW's guaranteed wage plan. Ford never took up the vote offer, but Instead ultimately negotiated a guaranteed wage. Any GM offer providing for a fat pay raise, either alone or as an alternative to the guaranteed wage, might put Reuther on the spot.

Slaee the Ford guaranteed wage plan was announced Monday, there have been a number of Ford work stoppages and worker protests that Reuther bought the guaranteed wage principle at a price of foregoing healthy wage Increases from the profit-swollen auto industry. This could mean that workers, faced with a choice between the guaranteed wage and steep pay increases, might vote against Reuther and take the latter. If GM could engineer this, it would be a severe personal blow to Reuther and might even endanger his keeping the guaranteed wage plan won at Ford, which has not as yet been ratified by Ford union members, it would put GM the role of saving business generally from the guaranteed wage. Auto worker wages now aver age about $2.10 an hour. The Ford deal gave the average worker only an additional pen ny an hour wage hike, with the remainder of the settlement terms, claimed by the UAW to be worth 20 cents an hour per worker, spent in pension, vaca tion, guaranteed wage and oth er side benefits.

Unlike the Ford negotiations, which were marked by angry charges and countercharges be tween Reuther and the compa ny, the GM talks have been gliding along listlessly with nei ther side saying, a word. The UAW has given the com pany notice that beglning Sun day afternoon, some eight hours before a possible walkout, the union may lift this veil of si lence and start to talk. GM was paying a cool and calculated bargaining game and not tipping its hand on- its hole card until the last possible mo ment.

And David J. McDonald, union president, was quoted as saying it isn "nickels and dimes." McDonald concluded a round of separate talks with the six firms Friday, and the discussions were recessed indefinitely.

McDONALD TOOK personal charge of the union's arguments for a big pay raise. He opened the talks Tuesday with U. S.

The firms employ 400.000 of the members In the basic steel industry.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette quoted McDonald as saying he expected the companies to re sume bargaining "probably June 20" with an offer ol about 7H cents an hour. The newspaper quoted the union leaders: "If they offer anything in the neighborhood of 74 cents an we will say this Is not a substantial wage Increase and we will refuse the offer." Basic steel workers now av erage $2.33 an hour. SOME OBSERVERS believe the -union will settle for 12 to 15 cents an hour after first demanding as much as 25 to 30 cents an hour.

GM'a game apparently was to wait almost to the 11th hour, fling an offer at Walter Reuther, president of the CIO United Auto Workers and give the union little time to argue, only to make a yes or no answer. THE BIG CORPORATION considers itself in a strategic bargaining position, knowing that the union would be reluctant to caU a strike of its 350,000 members at GM. Such a strike would cut off nearly one-third of! the UAW dues income and even low level benefits would wipe out in a few weeks the 25 mil lion dollar strike fund the union la building.

IN A SPEECH prepared for delivery at the 25th annual Harvard Business Conference here, ht said: "When you have a chance to study the plan in detail, I'm cure you will agree it solves a knotty problem which concerns not only American industry but the general public as wen." He said the guaranteed wage plan to supplement 1 aid-off work ers' compensations In periods of slack production met ail r.t qulrements put down by Ford.

(UP President Elsenhower proposed today that the United Slates provide money and know-how to help free nations build atomic reactors for research and power. He said he will soon submit to Congress a dual atoms-for-peace proposal under which the United States would: 1.

Furnish half the cost of building research reactors for free nations which can use them for "peaceful atomic progress." 2. Provide the know how 'within prudent security consld eratlons" for construction and operation of power reactors by friendly nations who would use them for peaceful pursuits. Eisenhower unveiled his new plan in a commencement speech at Pennsylvania State University after inspecting a new atomic reactor on the campus, the first of Its kind built under universi ty auspices. At the commencement, the President received an honorary doctor of laws degree from the university, which is headed by his youngest brother; Dr. Milton.

S. Elsenhower. THE PRESIDENT said his proposals offer "the gateway to a broad avenue of world prog ress In the peaceful uses of atomic energy." The offer, an extension of the, atoms-for-peace plan he proposed In a United Nations speech Dec. 8. 1953, was addressed only to "free nations." He said he still hopes Soviet Russia will Join In "an Interna tional effort to harness the atom for man's good." But, he added.

"I have such unlimited confidence In the crea tlveness of free minds and In the capacity 'of free men that know we will with or without the Soviets achieve a more abundant life for (hose who Join! together In this historical venture." The offef to go 50-50 on the cost was limited to reactors for research. He said the 1 1 States also would provide the nuclear material needed lor tuei The President said that if some single nation lacked the technical or material resources to make effective use of a re search reactor, "we would support a voluntary grouping of the resources of several nations within a single regiqh to acquire and operate It together." "The research reactors ac quired under this program will be fertile seeds for progress sown in the receptive soli of the free nations, he said. "THE COST TO the people of tne united states wiu oe smau indeed when measured against the certain returns, tangible and intangible." The President did not indicate in his speech how many Ameri can dollars he would be willing to nut into such a program. His second proposal to pro vide the know-how for building and operating power reactors- Was aimed at countries wmcn are prepared to invest their own funds. He proposed that the United States provide "access to and training in, the technological orocesses ol construction and op eration for peaceful purposes? He said this proposal wouia oe of immediate interest mainly to "Dower-short areas of the world where atomic power may be economically feasible, even to day." Elsenhower said some oi countries lack the knowledge and experience heeded to con for Medal, Sw contradicted each other face to face.

Meise swore that Lev ordered machinery on May 11, 1953, to make 6,800,000 Navy hats at a plant In Nayaguez, Puerto Rico. He said Lev asked him to date the order back to May 1, and he did so. Chairman McClellan (D -Ark) pointed out that Lev got the navy contract May 5 on a promise that he had ordered the machinery. But Lev said it was Melse's idea, not his, to change the date on the order. He said he took an option on the machinery earlier from Singer's Chicago general manaeer.
