Accuse CIO of Sabotage

DETROIT--Harry Bennett, personnel director of the Ford Motor Company, today accused the United Automobile Workers, CIO, of attempting to sabotage the National Defense Program "to satisfy their greed for dues and more dues."

The charge was made as a group of union representatives was presenting to a federal conciliator a set of written demands as basis for settlement of a threatened strike against three Ford plants which have $154,000,000 in government contracts for airplane engines, pygmy trucks, and bomber sub-assemblies.
