NEW YORK, March 21-408)- A battle for leadership of the reatlve, fruculent United Auto- mobile Workers, l,000,000-man union of motorcar workers affili- ated with the equally belligerent xngress of Industrial Organizat- i , is shaping up for the union's annual convention opening in At- lantic City Saturday.

Partici ts in the pending contest or the presidency of the United States‘ largest single labor union are Roland J. Thomas, president for seven years, and his first lieutenant, vice-president Walter P. Heather, leader of the U.A.W.'| bitter strike against General Motors Corporation.

Both men rose to their present gositlons from work benches.‘ oth flgued in the union's

early struggles against "o n-shop’ policies of the country's lg auto-

sonalities promises to make hot-

New Difficulty In Way 0f Deal With ll. S. Army

A new difficulty has arisen with reference to the proposal to ex- port fresh milk from Summeralda to a U. S. Army base in New- foundland, with the refusal of the Dairy Products Board to grant an export permit. Mr. Elmer Offer, proprietor of the Ideal Dairy, who had made arrangement to sell 000 galleria of milk weekly to the U3. forces, last evening receiv- ed the following wire in reply to hiist application or an expor per- m Z

its export milk U. B. Arm . Newfoundland, Dairy Produc s Board unable authorize such exports at Eresent and W“! investigate . S. Army re- quirements. H. A. Derby, sec- rotary."

Officers from Harmon Field, Newfoundland, visited Summers- ide last Saturday seeking milk that would meet their require- ments after they had failed to find it in Charlottetown. They were able to deal satisfactorily with "Mr. Offer and took a sam le of his milk back with them. r. Offer was advised this week that the milk had passed their test and was acceptable but they also ad- vised they would not be able to pick it‘ up at Summerside due to their regulations prohlbitingthem from landing at a field where there is no control tower in oper- ation. It was while efforts were being made to overcome this dif- ficulty that the wire from the Dairy Products Board was receiv- ed. Mr. Offer expects U. S. Army officers from Newfoundland tn come to Summerside this week to talk over the matter.

An R/OMP official predicted Gcuzenkds story will be the most startling turn of events heard in court since the es/pionage case was brought into the open. In- spector C W. Harrison of the RCMP has called a special press conference for lateltcday to dis- cuss coverage of the preliminary hearing.

Rose, Labor-Progressive mem- ber for Montreal-Cartier, and Dr.

was working for the National RR?‘ search Council. face similar charges of unlawfully communi- cating information to the Soviet Union and of conspiring with each other to communicate such infor- mation. They bbth are free on sloooo bail. g

Gouzenko had been under pro- tective custody of the RCMP and it is understood special precautions have been taken by the police for his safetv here. Inspector Harri- son is directing the security pro- gram and it is reported he ar- rived here with his witness 170m Ottawa last night.

Reason for the chan e, it was stated by Dr. W. N. eenan of the D ant of Agriculture lence Service. is that the low- tariff quota cf 1.500.000 bushels as now been filled.

Expect Dem d To Continua

Despite hhe tariff boost, Dr. Keenan said he did not think Rrowers and shippers of seed po- tatoes would have any great dif- ficulty of disposing of stocks of potatoes not as yet marketed. A proportion of P.E.l.’s balance of certified seed will continue to go across the border to the United States, and there are manv orders for certified seed potatoes from Prince Edward Island bought by Central Canada for April delivery.

Canada's ex oria of aeod pota- toes to the Un ted States last ma‘ ruched an all-time high of 2, ,- 158 bushels. By ‘ exports of 1,139,771 bushels from the I943 crop were far below the low tar- iff quota, he sold-

potatoes went to United States pfilinés after the quota had been f e . -

“The shipping permit order," Dr. Keenan said. "was put into effect simplv to prevent costly and 1n- efficient transport of tablestock. At a time when Saint John was short of potatoes, New Brunswick shippers were sending car-ioadsto Ontario, and potatoes from wide- lv-separated points in Canada and the United States were travelling thousands of miles unnecessarily and holding up freight-cars need- ed for other essential servlcas."
