Wilson's top two lieutenants-- _ Over Austerity Measures member George Brown, deputy premier | and economics minister, and James Callaghan, chancellor of the exchequer .-- met for three hours today with TUC leaders to convince them of the need for the austerity measures an- nounced Wednesday to prop up the pound and bolster the shaky economy. The TUC is expected to an- nounce its decision Wednesday, after its general council meets. Five unions have already re- jected the prime minister's call for a voluntary pay standstill. George Woodcock, general secretary of the union congress, opposes the pay freeze but he has not yet advised the con- gress to head for a clash with the government. Government sources say the administration hopes to get a voluntary union agreement to the pay pause because. blanket statutory control would be too complex to enforce, The government has swiftly vetoed pay increases for 60,000 gas industry workers who won a pay raise only one day be- fore the new measures were an- nounced, Apparently taking their cues from Frapk Cousins, leader of HAROLD WILSON draughtsmen, technicians and other groups have indicated they will press ahead with de- mands for higher wages de spite Wilson's demand for a six- month freeze, Meanwhile the pound see. sawed on foreign exchange Thursday before finally closing higher at $2.79 1-16 (U.S.) after the Bank of England and the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank were reported to have moved in and bought sterling.

Union Policies Could Wreck Labor's Economic Program An official of the Trades Union Congress, central body covering 170 unions and 8,750,- 000 workers, said Thursday that unions will be watching how far the rebels go in challenging the prime minister. If they should succeed with- out bringing government wrath on their heads, other unions also may push with their de- mands, thereby wrecking part of the program to halt inflation and help Britain pay its way in the world markets.

The TUC's general council will meet next Wednesday to discuss the wage and price freeze and to announce some form of policy if dissension among union leaders can be overcome. Meanwhile George Brown, who holds the dual posts of dep- uty prime minister and econom- ics minister, got a big cheer as he returned to the Commons plans to censure the Wilson government's handling of the economic crisis in a two-day Commons debate next week. Heath and his aides intend to tour Britain, meanwhile, rous- ing popular resistance against Wilson's leadership. As British commentators con- tinued to praise and criti- cize the deflation move, a com- mon threat woven through the comment is that Wilson has bought time and that world fi- nancial centres will be watching to see how the country reacts.
