Commerce department rec- ords showed today that most of the recalls were by General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, for a variety of possible defects in- volving brake parts, steering shaft alignment and windshield wipers. Three other domestic andj} teven foreign producers also are Some of the recalls have been announced publicly by the com- panies but this is not required under the new traffic safety law. Manufacturers are only re- quired to report potential car and truck defects to the govern- ment and to inform owners so corrections, if needed, can be made. A report to the government does not mean that all vehicles listed are defective. If, for example, the manufac- turer discovers an improperly made steering gear on a car, he may trace the batch of gears listed. "He Don't Make Sense', | Waitress Says Of Meredith NEW YORK (AP) -- It was one of those tiny, low-profit snack bars that abound on Harlem's Seventh Avenue, James H. Meredith was wel- comed into the neighborhood last summer, when he set up a bustling voter - registration headquarters two blocks away. But now the waitress behind the counter shook her head sadly. : "He don't make sense to me,' she said. "J think he's a nice man, but he shouldn't have gotten into this. He's gonna get beat aw- ful bad, He's gonna be ruined in Harlem." The middle - aged, work- worn woman was speaking Meredith? Asks Powell BIMINI, Bahamas (AP) Adam Clayton Powell, calling James Meredith "the white man's candidate,' says he is sure of victory in a special con- zressiona! election. Powell says' he doesn't have o campaign against Meredith. Both are Negroes. But Powell's remarks to a oress conference Wednesday sounded to some as if he was ricking: off his Harlem cam- paign from Rimini for the elec- tion scheduled April 11 in New York's 18th congressional dis- tricts. "Who is Meredith?" Powell asked. "Long before he changed nis diapers, I was carrying abgut the 33-year-old man who has decided to challenge Demo- crat Adam Clayton Powell, barred from taking his seat in the U.S. House of Representa- tives last week.

He might find many, a few or no cars with the same defect.

Foreign companies filing re- ports included Rolls Royce, Jag- uar, Porsche, BMW of West Germany, Datsun, Volkswagen and Renault. | One of the largest recalls! came in January when General Motors reported possible mis- aligned steering shafts in more than 269,000 Chevrolets, Pon- tiacs, Oldsmobiles and Buicks. Ford recalled 217,000 Fords and Mercuries in February for a possible defective power brake booster assembly which may malfunction in cold weather, the department's files showed.

(AP) A 27-year-old truck driver, who was shot in the chest at point-blank range and coughed up the bullet two weeks later, "has an angel on his shoul- der,"' his physician says. This is the way Philip Reidel's doctor explained how a bullet apparently moved from the patient's lung to the bronchial tube where it was coughed up. Reidel, of this community south of Buffalo, and a friend stopped to eat in a small East Chicago, Ind., restaurant Jan. 28. The father of three, Reidel TRUCK DRIVEN SHOT IN CHEST COUGHS SLUG UP DAYS LATER recalled hearing a fight take place in front of the restaur- ant.

Reidel was taken to an East Chicago hospital where he learned a .22-calibre bullet had lodged in his right lung. Doctors said it was too dangerous to operate. Reidel said he was brush- ing his teeth Feb. 10 when he suddenly coughed and up came the bullet. U.S., Britain, LONDON (CP)--Douglas Jay, Britain's trade chief, said to- day a transatlantic Common Market embracing Britain, Can- ada and the United States would have "enourmous attractions" and is "well worth a study."

( DETROIT (AP) -- President Walter Reuther of the United Auto Workers Union struggled today with the problem of a re- bellious Ohio local that defied UAW officials and went on strike at a General Motors plant 'for the second time in 16 days, The strike Wednesday night by members of Local 549 at GM's key parts plant in Mans- field, Ohio, put pressure on Reuther to decide how to en- force a trusteeship he slapped on the dissident unit earlier in the day. Ninety per cent of the 390 workers on the overnight shift failed to report for duty at the GM facility. Their action fol- lowed by hours a strike vote by about 1,500 of the 2,600 members of Local 549 UAW officials called an emer gency meeting of the union's na- A tional General Motors council to discuss the uprising. The meet- ing was set for 2 p.m. EST. Reuther appointed an admin- istrator to take over the reins from Local President Robert Hall, who had been summoned to Detroit for talks with UAW executives. The UAW said Hall and other officers endorsed the trusteeship, IGNORES SUMMONS But Frank G. Petty Jr., Local 549 shop committee chairman, ignored a similar summons to Detroit and called the. strike- vote meeting after he declared "open war" on Hall and inter- national officers. The walkout was sparked by rumors that GM would fire Petty and four other workers who were among 20 suspended in the last strike. Neither GM were made idle in GM's Cana- dian operations. The Mansfield plant makes body stampings for 90 per cent of GM cars. It was only this week that GM swung back to full production. Emil Mazey, UA Wsecretary- treasurer, said in a telegram to the Mansfield local the strike "jeopardizes" the union's con- tract. negotiations with General nor UAW officials would say if this was true. "We are the leaders here, not Reuther's men," Petty de- clared, Petty said he would send men to Detroit today to talk with Reuther, The union has already warned that at its April convention it would consider filing charges against persons who 'knowingly Motors later this year. and wilfully fomented and pro- Current three-year auto indus- longed these illegal and unau- try contracts expire in Septem- thorized strikes."
