The CIO United Auto Workers opened preliminary c6ntract talks with American Motors Corporation to- days in an effort to extend the guaranteed principle it won from Ford and General Motors to the remainder of the auto industry. The union's talks with American Motors, the Nash-Hudson combine which is one of the industry's three smaller auto makers, won't reach climax until August but the firm already has served notice it doesn't want a "pattern" settlement.

CIO President Walter Reuther had indicated he would not try to force the "Big Three" pattern on the smaller companies but he left little doubt that he expected even the smaller firms to guarantee wages of their Reuther, smiling over his victory over GM, outlined what probably will be the union approach to the guaranteed wage among the smaller companies. He said the smaller firms may be asked to contribute to a central "pool' 1 from which they could draw during periods of layoffs. He said the combined contributions of the smaller companies would insure- properly-funded guarantee. The union used this principle in establishing its pension system among the smaller auto workers.
