...right to surfer is one of the joys of a free economy," genially blooped White House Aide Howard Pyle, former governor of Arizona and ex-public relations man, last week during the course of a rambling press conference in his Detroit hotel room. United Auto Workers' President Walter Reuther, all ears when it comes to hearing opportunity, promptly wired the White House: "To workers who are desperately trying to find ways and means to feed and clothe their families, this kind of callous facetiousness is, to say the least, in gross poor taste." Back in Washington, insisting...
...Mayor Albert E. (for Eugene) Cobo, 62, who has been elected in nonpartisan contests to seven terms as city treasurer and three as mayor. Cobo's supporters think that the popular mayor, who has always pulled a big vote in Democratic Detroit despite the opposition of Walter Reuther's United Auto Workers, might cut into the heart of Governor Williams' strength...
From his Detroit headquarters, the United Auto Workers' president, Walter Reuther, last week issued another bitter blast at auto layoffs. Cried Reuther: "The plight of thousands of workers on layoffs cannot be swept under a rug woven of platitudes or silence." But U.S. automakers used no platitudes last week.

The week's score: 111,200 cars, almost 67,000 less than the same weekof...
...biggest trouble spot was in the auto industry. United Auto Workers President Walter Reuther flatly said there was "no hope" for a sales pickup, asked auto and farm-equipment makers to meet with labor to map plans to help the industries' unemployed; he put the auto figure at 142,000, out of a total work force of 900,000. Detroit was worried, and rightly so. There was also a bright side to the picture. Used cars were moving well, and some late models were in such short supply that prices were better than last year...
Controlled Tears. Like all talk of a possible Democratic Party split over the civil-rights issue, Reuther's threat met with dead silence from the party elders. Determined to work out a compromise civil-rights plank that will be acceptable in the North and not too offensive to the South, most Democratic bosses, Northern and Southern, pooh-pooh the notion that the issue is one that cannot be compromised. Meantime, the package they hope to sell is one prepared by Chicago's Negro Congressman William Dawson, i.e., that civil-rights problems belong to President Eisenhower, since...
