voted Saturday to return to work Monday, union officials announced following a meeting held at the hall of Local 946, UAW (CIO), of which the striker are members. Meanwhile, strikes continued among 3,100 members of the Foremen's Association of America in 14 Detroit war plants and at the Windsor plants of the Ford Motor where 14,000 employees have been idle for more than two wreeks in a dispute over grievance pro cedure. Justice G. B. O'Connor, chairman of the Canadian National Wartime Labor Relations Board, was expected to confer over the weekend with Ford and union officials in an effort to effect a truce that would permit the resumption of production early next week.

Chrysler officials said that 1,000 hourly-rated employees walked off their jobs Saturday at the Marys-ville (Mich.) parts depot. The Hamtramck plant of the iinggs Manutacturing Co. was crippled in production, company officials said, when UAW (CIO) workers refused to cross what appeared to be a picket line at the gate, established by the Foremen's Association. Approximately 700 workers refused to enter the plant. Officials of the foremen's organization said, however, that it had not been the intent of the line to stop UAW (CIO) members, but only foremen.

The line resulted from an appeal by Hamtramck police that shop committeemen form a line or move away from the gate entrance, it was reported. It was reported from Washington that the NLRB early next week will make a ruling on the question whether a foreman can be fired under the Wagner Labor Relations Law for engaging in union activity. Officials of the foremen asked the co-operation of the press in informing UAW (CIO) members that the line was not intended to bar them from the plant. Striking UAW(CIO) members at the Kelsey-Hayes Wheel Co. plants were meeting Saturday afternoon to vote on a backeio-work proposal.

Taft Sees Peace Peril CLEVELAND, May 6 (UP) Senator Robert A. Taft, Ohio Re publican, asserted tonight that British and Russian demands "and failures in our own current foreign 1 policy" are jeopardizing the chances for securing peace after the war. Denouncing proposed power alliances and declaring that Americans "don't want to run the world," Taft told the War Veterans' Republican Club of Ohio that there "isn't much hope" for lasting peace so long as the Administration rejects the political policies which, he said, might bring it about. He advocated an international organization based on the sovereign equality of all states included.

These three things are imperatively needed, Taft said, if peace is to be secured: "Definite steps to persuade England and Russia to join in making a political settlement which will give freedom to those peoples who are capable of self government and desire freedom. "A definite plan for world trade which will eliminate economic injustice. "A determined stand against those who arc determined that the United States, with or without its Allies, shall dominate the world under perpetual New Deal dictatorship with streamlined WPA and deficit spending."

"Unless we do," Ellender said, "we may find ourselves owing cur Allies at the end of the war instead of their owing us." Theunessage also proposes that $88,299,000 received as a result of operations under the lend-lease act be used to procure lend-lease farm and industrial products.

Report Drive onSevastopol Germans Say Reds Open Big Assault BY ROBERT MCSEL. I nited Pr Correspond LONDON, May 6 The Berlin radio reported tonight that the Red Army had resumed its drive against Sevastopol, throwing powerful forces of infantry, artillery and against rhe battle-scarred Black Sea port which has been under siege since mid-April.

Moscow announced that planes and torpedo boats of the Soviet Black Sea fleet had sunk eight more enemy ships, including four troop transports totaling 10,000 tons, in day and night attacks Thursday off Sevastopol. The daily German war bulletin, unconfirmed by the Russians, re ported that the Russian land assault, first major one since the Red Army threw a twenty-one-mile siege arc halfway around the city on April 18, was preceded by a violent artillery barrage and attacks by warplanes swooping in on the Nazi positions "in consecutive waves." Berlin said that the Soviet attacks, which, it was stated, started Friday, had been turned back by German marines and Romanian troops fighting from many of the same fortifications which the Russians had constructed in the 250-day siege of 1941-42. Soviet front dispatches relayed through Moscow said that Sevastopol was a "hell on earth" and that the whole arc of the front "appears like smoking lava under the Soviet barrage." Indicating that the Russian drive might soon be resumed on other fronts, a Moscow radio broadcast recorded here declared that the Red Army is on the eve of great scale offensive operations. A Moscow dispatch said that on the Soviet First Ukrainian front which embraces Southeastern Poland and, Northern Romania, Soviet air patrols were constantly blasting enemy railroads behind the lines, knocking out hundreds of trains bringing troops and equipment up to the front, where the Russians are expected to strike major blow in a resumption of their drive toward Lwow. i' it) i 4.
